Pros and cons of IDOC AAE

[former_member322465]

Hi All,

I have read that SAP Pi 7.3 has java based IDOC and HTTP adapters. I would like to know the pros and cons of IDOC AAE and also the cases or scenarios where the adapter cannot be used.

Please help me with this.

Regards,

Apart from that,

EOIO feature is not available in PI 7.3 IDOC_AAE.

PI 7.3 can have either java only installation or both java and abap stack. I meant both local (JAVA) and classical engine (ABAP AND IE) processing

Pros: AAE processing is faster and certainly boost performance than traditional or classical IE engine processing. Same for both HTTP and Idoc adapter.

Cons: Monitoring capabilities are not great at Java only installation level. AAE monitoring capability is very limited at this time. Also BPM related scenarios cannot be seamlessly migrated to java stack (AAE) level. We need to wait for sometime on this.

The intention of moving the IDOC adapter onto the java stack is to enhance AAE capabilities and the provisioning of AEX.

Eventually, PI will be moving into a single stack i.e Java only installation.

Also using the AEX or AAE, will boost the performance as there will not be switching from the IE to AE or vice versa.
