Hi All,
What are the ways to implement RNIF with XI? In Service market place, I can see only sales order invoice processing examples which has PIP formats for each process. Could anyone explain the PIP xml formats and the ways, modules through which RNIF adapters can be integrated with XI. And where can i find any materials for RNIF other than service market place.
Thanks,
Deno

Hi Deno,
RNIF adapters support the data communication standard RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.
The adapters change the XI message format to the required RosettaNet message format. The adapters also change the format of messages from partner systems to the XI system.
You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.
Please refer to the replay of following webinar on Know-how network calls that has live demo on how to configure the RNIF Adapter.

There are 3 software components related to RosettaNet that are offered by SAP:
ROSETTANET
ROSETTANET CRM
ROSETTANET ERP
The component ROSETTANET contains mainly the definitions of the PIP's, while the components ROSETTANET ERP and ROSETTANET CRM contain (most importantly) the mappings against the respective SAP backend (CRM or ERP).
If you look for complete support of PIP's including the mapping to the backend (IDoc or BAPI) you need to check which PIP's are supported in ROSETTANET CRM or ROSETTANET ERP. Here the document you find following the link in the SAP service marketplace is correct. As of today SAP offers mappings for the following PIP's:
PIP3A4
PIP3A7
PIP3A8
PIP3A9
PIP3B2
PIP3C3
PIP3C6
If you are only interested in the PIP definition, you need to check the content of the component ROSETTANET (here you don't find the latest information on the service marketplace). In general, SAP is working on making all PIP's available in that component. If you are missing some PIP you can contact SAP, e.g. via this forum and the PIP's will be added and made available very soon.
Currently you find the following PIP's:
PIP2A12
PIP3A1, 3A2, 3A4, 3A6, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9
PIP3B2, 3B12, 3B13, 3B14
PIP3C3, 3C4, 3C6
PIP4A1, 4A5
PIP5C1, 5C2, 5C3, 5C4
PIP6C1, 6C2
Also important to mention is that SAP works with some partners that also offer mappings for some PIP's, for example 3C4 and the PIP6C* series.

Abhy

let me just share some of my experiences.
Usually, the predefined process is followed Say a classic purchase order request, starting with its creation, confirmation etc ...
Most of the scenarios we handled were IDOC to PIP and vice versa. The mappings (message mapping) are all predefined with the Rosettanet SCV + the interfaces and the standard templates for Communication channel and Intg. scenarios.
You can use the RNIF STk to test your developed scenarios. >> /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/14/close-encounters-with-the-rosettanet-stk
