WBI & XI _ Asynch

[Former Member]

Hi,

what is the recommended way to comunicate asynch between WBI & XI ? JMS , Webservices?

Hi Udi,

XI and WBI are both used for the same function in your organization integration scenario, both allow you to receieve messages and based on smart routing rules and manipulation of the message data to transfer the message data to other systems in your organization.

Since XI is an SAP product it has a much stronger buildin integration with other SAP systems then any other product, WBI have his own adventages as well.

as an integration consultant I'd say that the main decision weather to use one or the other is a stratigical decision as to what system will be the one requiring greater integration abilities in the future - the SAP system or Legacy systems.

<b>and to answer the question: WBI is open standard (supporting XML, MQseries connetivity and a few more), MQseries is a message transfering program that support several protocol for handeling messages (like JMS).</b>

Udi,

hmm... Depends on the scenarios you are going to deal with.. Are they asynch or Synch?

JMS adapters do not support SYNCH processing and you will need a BPM in case you are looking for Synch porcessing using JMS adapter with CORELATION. In such cases, if the Application is using a Webservice , then using SOAP can be a good opton.

But, if it is going to be ASYNCH and if your WBI supports MQ series, then using JMS will be a bettter option.
