Hi Kumar,

Why can't you try following URL and make use of the live experience.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/110ff05d-0501-0010-a19d-958247c9f798 [original link is broken]

Hi Kumar,

First i would like to welcome to the fascinating world of XI.If it’s just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.

The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.

First 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 then begin your design steps. To 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 and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.

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

You assign your business system 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 you’re done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.

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

Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,

/message/527697#527697 [original link is broken]

And after you are done with the documentation probably you can go through this scenario,

Also check the following threads which might help you a little more,

In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com…. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links….which will just go on and on and on….so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.

Regards,

Abhy

Hi,

A good knowledge about java, mostly core java would certainly be very helpful. Just to illustrate, you have your java mappings in XI where you will require to know java, also to write your udf s you need to have some knowledge on java. Basically all that would be required is knowledge in core java, which is not very difficult t to master:).

Regarding the XI material, i think all possible links have been given, all that you require to learn xi is availabe at help.sap.com and sdn.sap.com, and of course you have the forum to always help you out.
