How Does XI gets installed

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a very basic question,

I was reading through many helpful articles and blogs,

Please clarify me, how we are going to install XI,

Is it going to be maintained as a seperate box,

or

Is it going to be a piece of software to be installed.

Thanx in Advance.

Sanjeev,

XI is not a piece of code that can be installed on a R/3 instance, however technically it might be a feasible thing to do.

It requires a WAS which has both ABAP and Java stacks and then on top of that XI will be installed. It ususally requires high memory for itself and if you installing in a customer landscape, its not advised to install it along with other software.

Hope this clarifies your question.

Please close the thread if the question is answered.

regards,

Ravi
