How does SAP PI work

213 views

Imagine I want data from some SAP tables and save them in a local database.

My SAP admin told me RFC is unsecure and SAP PI is the standard.

RFC was pretty understand to easy but I don’t know how PI works. I just want to read from SAP tables and don’t send any data back.

You need to

1. In SAP PI define the interface – basically the list of fields you want, and where the data will be sent to

2. Generate this as a ‘proxy’ within SAP ECC

3. Write an abap program to read the data and call the proxy to send it to PI which sends it to wherever you want it.

Not really Age 5 stuff though!!

But it’s probably far easier to write an abap program to read the data and save as a local file. Unless you are in a remote system.
