Integration scenario and configuration scenario - is it madatory

[Former Member]

hi

im new to xi. ive a doubt with intergration scenario and configuration scenario.

I followed the document [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3157] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]; to create Integration scenario.

Confused about Integration scenario? is it mandatory?

i generally use configuration wizard or manually create the configuration items.

in this document, integration scenario and configuratio scenario are used for creating configuration items.

does it create configuration items or only just dummy items for documentation purpose.

If it really creates configuration items, then when we go for this process instead of using configuration wizard or manual process.

Hi Priya,

There are two things here.

1) Create the Integration Scenario in the IR.

2) Use the wizard to configure the integration scenario in ID.

The Integration scenario created in the IR acts as a template to create the configuration objects in ID.

The wizard will create the actual configuration objects only (not just documentation).

But creating integration scenarios is not mandatory.

YOu can as well create all the configuration objects manually.

Generally, you will go for Integration scenarios if you are building a general purpose product (Product based ).

If it is a project that you are building for a particular customer, you can chose to create the configuration objects using the configuration scenario approach.

Hi,

Integration Scenarios are not mandatory, the reason for creating them is given in the blog you mentioned:

The advantages of defining integration scenarios in the Integration Builder (design tool) are as follows:

· The integration scenario provides you with an overview of the process and the process flow

· The integration scenario club together all objects like SWVC,Interface objects, mapping objects,integration processes.You can access all of these objects from the integration scenario.

· The integration scenario gives you the design time information which is required for its configuration.

The configurtation items are getting created.
