RFC connection BI and ECC 6.0

Question

Hi
I am trying to connect BI and ECC 6.0 at home on two different virtual machines for data extraction and practicing delta management ( they are on the same virtual network).
I am following these steps :
Step-by-step procedure to connect BI with ECCu2026
Define the logical system in R/3 using the transaction code SALE in both the systems (ECC and BI)
Assign Logical System to a client using transaction code SCC4 in both the systems (ECC and BI)
Setup the RFC Destination using transaction code SM59 in both the systems (ECC and BI)
Hit Transaction BD64 and Click Create model view -  Enter the Short text u2013 Enter the Technical name  u2013 Hit Execute -  Distribution Model will be created and the technical name of the distribution model will be listed
Place the cursor on model created and and click Add message type button on the top right corner
Enter sender and receiver system IDs  and select the correct message type assigned to the correct system
Distribute this model using Edit u2013 Model View u2013 Distribute
Select the receiver of the model view and proceed to distribute the model
Please note that the distribution of data model is not required to repeat in BI system as this step automatically replicates settings in BI
You have to generate partner profile for each system with which your system communicate using BD82
Outbound records are created in the partner profile for each outgoing message and inbound records are created for each incoming messages
You can view the partner profiles generated using the transaction code WE20
Message Types:
RSRQST: This message type is send by BI to R/3 while loading any data. This gives information about the data source, selection condition and other BI settings to R/3.  As and when a load is started in BI, RSRQST message type is sent to R/3 requesting for data.
RSINFO: Once R/3 receives RSRQST message from BI, it sends an acknowledgment message type to BI informing about the status of the request. That is whether the request can be handled or not by R/3. It also gives information about how many data packages are being send and what is the total number of records extracted for the given data source and selection.
RSSEND: After sending a positive acknowledgement to BI, R/3 starts the extraction job and starts collecting data in data IDocs. This message type carries the actual data with it into the BI system.
My question is that : Do i know need to create three model views for these three message types?? Are these steps sufficient?
Please let me know if some other things needs to be followed or U know more simpler way to RFC connect so that I can pull data from ECC into BI and practice delta management.
Thanks

Hi Niru,
Have you created a
[RFC destination in NW Administrator?|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/5a/97a066223e440b8ead3da027b17d9e/frameset.htm]. Have you created a [BI System connection?|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/7e/6dbcea3700452195e3bddaa47c5906/frameset.htm]
