CEP in SAP middleware

[Former Member]

hi, Expert

when talking about complex event processing , how SAP PI or SAP Process Orchestration realizes CEP?

Or how can i create a CEP solution? with Orchestration, PI or with BO event insight?

i want to know if SAP middleware have a CEP solution without BO.

where can i find information about that?

Thank you in advance

Hello Carol,

for your interest.

Currently I am working in a CEP customer project with SAP BOBJ Event Insight since last year, the product is being part of a ramp-up program, so is not a commercial release yet.

Recently (last week) SAP has warned to its customers that finally SAP BOBJ Event Insight will not ever be a commercial product by SAP.

SAP has decided move to CEP ESP (Event Stream Processor) by SYBASE instead of the releasing of SAP BOBJ Event Insight.

It seems both solutions are using the same CEP engine (SYBASE CEP Server). CQL development could be fully supported.

In Any case neither of both is based on SAP Netweaver

you are right, Sergio.

I also got messages from ESP's product Manager Eduardo Chiocconi, ESP is SAP CEP engine.

and Latest version is 5.1.

thank you for your point.

hi carol,

there is a nice wiki prepared by my friend Kevin

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/SAP+EM+as+compared+to+BPM%2C+BAM+and+SAP+BusinessObjects+Ev...

which talks about CEP and compares different solutions

did you have a look at that ? does it clarify a bit ?

yes, Michal, Kevin's article is helpful.

i am thinking if there is a product which i dont know in SAP, which should be similar to TIBCO Businessevent and Oracle CEP.

Hi,

it's BO event insight as per the blog

I've been on BO EI workshops at techeds and from the looks of it it was SAP's CEP engine

there is nothing else from SAP for CEP which is not mentioned in Kevin's blog,

thank you, Michal.

must BOEI connect SAP PI?

or does it connect directly SAP applications?

actually its not a single product from SAP but a combination (at least at this point) that will enable CEP.

have a look at my blog - http://scn.sap.com/community/pi-and-soa-middleware/blog/2012/05/23/sap-and-a-comprehensive-integrati...

Although haven't seen it officially from SAP, I heard that EI will slowly be merged as part of Sybase ESP and not sure if EI will remain as a separate product offering.
