PI and SOA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am new to SOA and want to know what is the role of PI in SOA. can we create services and publish them without using PI. I know in PI 7.1 we have enterprise service repository and service registry. so do i need to have PI in my system landscape in order to develop , publish and consume enterprise services?

thanks

Yes you can create Services without using PI.

(Eg : for service in the backend ERP)

Create your Process Component model in your ESR.

Go to your backend and generate the proxy, implement the proxy classes.

Generate the wsdl from the backend and publish to SR using SOAMANAGER transaction.

Note: AFAIK PI 7.1 can be installed with ESR and SR or without them as well.
