sap xi benefits

[Former Member]

hello

I have an XI 3.0, patch 21.

beside of using the xi as middle ware and connect SAP and non-SAP systems, easy mapping and monitoring, I would like to know what are the other benefits that the XI have?

I feel like I can use the tool more then just map and connect.

(for example: the rule using, performance, etc.)

Thanks

Hi,

XI is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows defining adapters to non-XML protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target format.

XI comes handy particularly incase of SAP - Non SAP interfaces where you can import standard integration content. Also XI has got sophisticated open standard adapter framework which is very easy to implement and custom logic can be implemented using Adapter module programming.

Advantages

u2022 Monitoring is better than any other middleware product. It offers exhaustive monitoring features like message, performance, component monitoring etc, all of which can be used to track and rectify the errors. It follows a hub and spoke model.

u2022 When you need to integrate with an SAP system XI has an advantage in supporting various SAP components and so on.

u2022 Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules for business purposes.

u2022 Mappings and adapters are good as comparable with any other middleware product.

u2022 Synchronous & Asynchronous communication is possible.
