PI adapter module RFC by JRA
We create a PI adapter module that calls a ABAP function module to process the messages payload. The function module must accept the message payload and encoding and return the resulting payload and an error text if an error ocurred. The module uses the java resource architecture (JRA) to call the RFC runtime. This eases transport of the PI communication channel because no module parameters have to be changed in the different stages. Also credentials for RFC connection can be maintained using NWA.
