Hi Sivasakthi,

Basically there are different ways of Implementing EDI to SAP scenario.

As SAP XI does not have any adapter which can be used for picking the EDI files SAP has recommended to use the following third party adapters.

You can use any of the following adapters:

1) Seeburger Adapters

2) Conversion Agent

3) Open Source EDI based adapter.

Note: Prior you start the scenario u need to take care that the following adapters should be intalled in SAP XI (i.e java engine)

Seeburgger is one of the mostly used adapter for EDI based scenarios for which u need .SDM files

provided by seeburger

Hope this might give u a clue to go with EDI based scenarios

Hi Sainath,

Thanks.

But im not clear with the BIC modules. In some cases i see that its added and in some other cases no modules are added. Where does Seeburger BIC come in to the picture can you please clarify?

Hi Gaurav,

In the first link you have specified the author says " check BIC Adapter for XI30 Setup Guide " but im not able to find this. Can you give me the link for this guide?

[Former Member]

I want to use the AS2 adapter for conversion, do i still need to use the BIC module?

[Former Member]

Hi

Yes you need to configure the module for AS2

Guide for configuring Seeburger will be available with installation.
