Low level TCP/IP connection to external server from PI

$

Hi Experts,

 

We've been having trouble connecting to a remote server via PI 7.3. I've seen a few posts regarding this but we only have IP address and port available - no SNC program name/library info as required by the RFC adapter and we also do not have BMP installed so cannot use a Java socket as described in another blog. We have to use PI as other clients must also send info to our side before sending onto this external server, hence sending directly from R3 is out. To complicate things further, all messaging is ASYNC. Even when creating a TCP/IP connection on SM59, it asks for the "acceptor program name" which we do not have.

 

So we have the following scenario:

 

  • PR3 sends/receives via PI using proxy - no problem here
  • Other client sends/receives via PI using available adapters - no problem here
  • PI sends and receives to/from external server using low level TCP/IP connection - big problem here

 

So my question is, is there another way to set up a tcp/ip connection or can we install an additional adapter on the Adapter Framework which only needs IP address and port as input parameters? I know the Seeburger is available but do not know what info is needed and if it will help in this scenario. I've read about the Iway too but seems like it is only supported up to PI 7.0? Which is the best adapter to use for this low-level connection and where do I find it?

 

Thanks so much for the help.

 

Regards,

Anneke
