communication of BW with R/3

Question: We have R/3 4.6C server.Recently we installed BW server.
Now we want to download data in BW server from R/3 server.
What are the steps for this connection.R/3-plug-in is required for R/3
or for both servers.What level of patches is required.For this any material
is available on sap site?
thanks

Answer:
Check out the service marketplace of sap. under bw you can find the extractor plugins. The plugin is needed only in r/3.
After that you should download the fcs documentation for bw (document: administrator workbench). In this document you find the neccesary steps in order to connect bw to a r/3 system.

Answer:
Install PI2002.1. It is the last one.
You can install PI-A if you only use BW, but SAP wont' support this PlugIn in future, so better install PI2002.1.
The PI is not modifier, so you can install. The support package level required is available in a OSS note, but for 46C is low (I don't remember exactly).

Best regards.

Answer:
Is a utility available to list available RFC related variables, such as server names, client numbers, etc.?
Or a trans code that captures the same?

Answer:
Try sm51 this gives you an overview about the server details. you can also use the saplogon.

Did you already assign a logical system to the bw?

Am looking to get required variables for setting saprfc.ini correctly.

Where is the place to go to review all available servers, clients, etc. at once?
