pullarao,

Mercator is another EAI Tool like XI.As far as its play with SAP, it's been a leader in this space. Mercator provided multiple ways to connect to SAP, whether it was through it's own ALE adapters or through messaging products. It was one of the first mature products to manage enterprise integration, especially with SAP. Mercator's ability to read an IDoc definition in seconds and build its own type trees (data structures, type definitions) proved to be a real return on investment. Rapid application integration development was extremely important to those project managers faced with managing project cost, time, and delivery of functionality. Leveraging the re-use of its type definitions proved useful and reduced implementation costs in many cases. I've enjoyed working with many EAI software packages and Mercator is one that should definitely be reviewed if you need to integrate with SAP.
