Various questions on SAP XI usage

Former Member

Hi XI Experts,

I have few questions on SAP XI usage :

Q1-Does SAP XI is unique - client like BW ?

If multi - clients is possible is there any particular usage recommandations when in design, configuration and production deploiement on PRD SAP XI System ?.

Q2-is it technically possible to restart a well processed message (with nice black & white flag in SXMB_MONI) ?

And I know its not a good thing to try to do this...

Q3-is it technically possible to modify XML payload in message ?

And I know again its a very bad thing to try to do this...

Q4-We have to work with xCBL 4.0 definitions. I think i only have to import all XSD definitions as External Definitions in Interface Objects of my repository. Does it right ?

Great thanks for your(s) response(s).

Best regards

Etienne

To restart a XI machine that is running, deregister all the queues in SMQR and then wait for all activity to stop. Depending on the nature of your messages, that could be 5 seconds or more than an hour. We also check SWU2 for any active BPMs before allowing system to be taken down.
