About B2B scenario?

[former_member188885]

Hi Experts,

I am new to B2B sceanrios. I understand the basics that it is for communicating between two external systems, i.e outside the firewall.

But for using the B2B scenarios what kind of adapters can be used? And i am not able to find any test scenarios for this. Can you give me link or document showing the step by step procedure for B2B scenarios?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the reply everyone.

I have the B2B Toolkit in my PI system. I am trying to build a scenario using the AS2 adapter. I went through blogs of Kanes in SCN. But i am not familiar with the AS2 adapter.

The blog tells about RosettaNet format and iflow, which i am not understanding. Can anyone tell me about this please?

Hi Lavanya,

About EDI and AS2.

Third party adapters are provided by Seeburger which is used to integrate EDI scenarios. Adapters are AS2,VAN,OFTPS,X400.

Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.

These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.

Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.

The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:

1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)

2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.

3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.

4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI

5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

Hello,

for a quick overview about the possibilities/vendors/messagetypes/protocols that are used, you can also check the IFG Survey which was conducted 2013 with a special focus on the B2B area.
