Hi Pooja,

I thought i will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI.This is very essential for a beginner.

First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.

You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and the begin your design steps. Tou import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.

Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.

Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source anr target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a bpm, you deo the integration process.

Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is wher you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.

You assign your business syatem to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once your done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what knid of scenario you are implementing.

You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.

The links provided by others will surely help u implement these steps.
