Hi Guys,
Im just new in XI. Can anyone help me what are the best sites and reference materials for XI beginner , just like me.
Don't know where should I start . I don't have anybody to ask help ..Im just all alone to learn the XI..so please help me.
Is XI really exciting to Learn?Im a certified abap programmer and need to study and shift a career in XI.
What are the benefits/ advantage if you know XI? Mostly of my projects will be using connections in MS SQL.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is XI really exciting to Learn?
Yes
What are the benefits/ advantage if you know XI?
XI is a integration technology..... its a central hub which can talk with SAP & Non SAP systems(like database e.g. SQL, file system, web services etc)
we have Monitoring facility available in XI through which we can track every message.
Also we have Alert Mechanism which sends u mail when there is error in XI
XI support Synchronous- Asynchronous communication.
N there r many more............... which u will understand when u will start learning
U can search on SDN for whatever u need........... i think SDN is the best for any learner.
u will get weblogs, formus to solve ur error, wiki for step by step scenarios.
Check this:
This is also good:

Hi,
What is SAP Exchange infrastructure?
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) represents the process Integration layer of the Netweaver stack.
XI can be termed SAP's Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Software. It enables you to implement
cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in
different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each
other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture and uses open standards (in particular
those from the XML and Java environments).
SAP XI runs on the Web Application Server (WAS).
SAP XI mainly drives to reduce the TCO by reducing the integration and maintenance cost of the systems.
It provides a central repository for all the interfaces. One of the main features of XI is predelivered
Integration content i.e. to say that for mostly all my SAP and Netweaver components, business content that
includes the message type, the interface, business scenario, the business process patterns etc are made available. Also in case of third parties partnered with SAP, the contents are made available. Another feature, cross component BPM helps us to model business processes and scenarios across business. Even B2B integration allows to integrate to a partner or a different business. Industry standards such as Rosettanet, CIDX etc are thus supported
2. Architecture of SAP XI.
SAP XI is not a single component, but is a collection of components that work together flexibily
to implement Integration Scenarios.It includes components that are used at Design time,
components used at Configuration time and Components used at runtime.
2.1 The System Landscape Directory
A central repository of information about software and systems in the data center.
2.2 The Integration Builder
It comprises of the Integration Repository and Integration directory.
u2022 Integration Repository is used for the design and development of Interfaces, Process
and Mapping objects that make up an Integration Scenario.
u2022 Integration Directory is used for configuring scenarios to be used in the customer landscape.
2.3 The Integration Server
This is the actual runtime of XI. All messages are processed by the Integration Server in
a similar and consistent way. It comprises of
u2022 The Adapter Engine running on the JAVA Stack and consisting of many JCA adapters.
u2022 The Integration Engine running on the ABAP Stack which process message in a consistent way using a series of pipeline steps.
u2022 The Business Process Engine running on the ABAP stack where the Integration process or Business Process Management ( BPM's ) are executed.
2.4 Central Monitoring
To monitor all components comprehensively at runtime.
Further info is available in the article, Introduction to SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0
