SAP Conversion Agent

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have browsed the net for quite some time to get some idea about EDI message handling in XI using the SAP Conversion Agent (CA). I have understood what is CA all about. but i still have few questions unanswered.

1. How flexible or complex it is to use the the CA as compared to SEEBURGER ?

2. It is a must to use the EDI message parsing templates provided in the CA library ?

3. the cost factor. I have read that it is free for development and test landscapes. but for production landscape, we need to pay some license fee. Will this deprive us of any key functionality in the Dev and QUA landscape ?

I have gone throught the help document. Please help me find answers for the above questions.

Thanks,

Hari

hi,

and remember one difference

SEEBURGER also gives you adapters that you can use with EDI

(like VAN, OFTP, AS2)

CA has ONLY mappings
