E-Commerce with 2 ECC instance

Question

Hi All,
I would like to know if ISA for R/3 could be connected to 2 different ECC systems for B2B site. Both are on same version.
If yes, then what all I need to configure except JCO's in shopadmin, b2b and ipc.
Thanks in anticipation,
with regards,
Prashil

Answer 1

In the shopadmin application you will maintain multiple JCo components, jco_ecc1 and jco_ecc2 just the same way you did for ECO.
When you maintain shops with shopadmin/shopadmin/init.do, use the correct custom application scenario, in the shopadmin/admin URL parameter scenario.xcm , to define the shops. You can draw parallel with the b2b application in this context. This scenario.xcm will use the right jco_ecc_X to create the shops in the right ECC_X. The shop information is maintained in the respective backends.
So, you will define the shops for both shopadmin custom application scenarios you have maintained (or going to maintain).
Another piece of information on Shops: The shop-scenario you have defined in the shopadmin/shopadmin/init.do application and the scenario of the webshop application you have defined also should match to get picked by application. (b2b, b2c, bob, collaborative showroom etc.)
The IPC JCo is a component with ECO and essentially are all controlled by the choices you make in the ECO customer application scenario you have defined and choose in the URL.
So, it is a definition of multiple sets of information for components, followed by definition of multiple application scenarios choosing different sets of components to complete an application scenario definition. Use the application scenario by giving the URL parameter scenario.xcm to the right value.
This is true for webshop, and shopadmin applications. JCO and IPC are components. Hope this makes sense.!!!
