Hi

SAP plan to create ESA services for all SAP applications.

But has RFC/IDOC technology future? What do you think?

Companies will not need expensive SAP Adapter more

and XI will not have an advantage in this case.

It will be enough to have some lightweight and cheap ESB with BPEL engine.

It is not that if we are going to have a new product / service in market then the old technology will not be used. Take an example of Business connector which is there before years but still is being used eventhough XI is present in the market. Still SAP says that it will support but they ask to migrate to the new technology to keep pace with the growing market. There are lot of companies who are using SAP with RFC/IDOC technology. Hence eventhough SAP plans to create ESA services it still will support the existing technology.
