Hi Guys,
In earlier days the data used to be transfered using EDI and XI has taken over the same.
What is the difference between EDI and XI, where both are used to transfer data between two systems?

Hi,
well in my understanding EDI is an umbrella term concerning protocols and message formats.
Protocols which are associated with EDI are X.25, X.400, OFTP or the "newer" AS1, AS2, AS3.
The message formats of EDI are as mentioned above: ANSI X12, UN/EDIFACT and some subelements like ODETTE.
So XI is an EAI-Tool which can be enlarged with some additional 3rd Adapters to cover B2B-needs still prevailing by todays companys.

EDI - it is a message standard in the form of EDI documents mainly UN/EDIFACT & ANSI ASC X12. So these standards are agreed upon by the interacting systems.
But Xi acts as a EAI tool, so the main purpose prevails to communicate between diff. systems supporting diff. standars may it be X12, EDIFACT, Files, JDBC etc.

I donot think EDI is replaced by XI.The notion is not right.We used EDI as a universal format to pass data back and forth between web applications and various abckend application.
SAP XI and EDI still co-exist and you can use EDI adapter from I-way or seeburger i guess and lot of freeware tools are there.
EDI is integated to the abckend via a middleware tool like TIBCO,SEEBEYOND and now you can do with SAP XI,

Hi Sravya,
If i have understood rigt, then EDI is not a tool, but it's a standard format to exchange data between systems like XML. Is it? And if any system is sending data in EDI format it can be conversted into XI understandable format using EDI adapter?
Could you give me an example of the system that still use EDI format to transfer data?
