Doubt about RFC Destination in FILE to IDOC Async scenario

Question

hi
In FILE-XI-IDOC Async Scenario we are creating RFC Destination in R/3 and XI.
For Asyn we don't want response But We are Creating RFC Destination in R/3 also.
Any specific reason.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First you need to have a clear understading of how the idoc adapters works.
In xi we create rfc destination and specify that in the port maintenance on the idoc adapter so that we can establish a connection to the sender / receiver system which contains the IDOC METADATA (IDX2) that is required by the idoc adapter to convert the native idoc into idoc xml format.
In R/3 as sender we create rfc destination so that when the idoc has to be transported to the xi system first it will be sent to trfc port that rfc desination that  u define the trfc port contains that the target system address(IP) and logon parameters req.So idoc can be sent to the desired destination.
In R/3 as a receiver to facilitate communication we define rfc dest, partner profile and specify the inbound parameters so that idoc can be posted.
Hope this answers your ques.
