Information on PI Interfaces

[Former Member]

Hi All,

How can we determine whether a interface is simple,medium or complex before building PI interfaces,and also effort estimation

for a interfaces.

Hi Vidya Sagar,

Apart from the PI solution, I would say the interface complexity should go hand in hand with the functional requirements. The functional folks should be involved to check on the factors mentioned by Inaki and you should be able to reach to a conclusion.

Hi Vidya,

There is not an easy answer, you should use your experience in this.

When you have the requirements, you need to know quickly if you would need an easy/medium/complex message mapping, if you need a XSL o java mapping the difficulty increase. Also the adapter chosen has importance. For example, if you need a jdbc adapter and you need to install the drivers.

Summing up, you can consider for you complexity estiamtion:

1. Mapping difficulty.

2. Adapter configuration. RFC, HTTP, SOAP, FILE without FCC, etc are easy; IDOC, FILE with FCC medium, JDBC and JMS difficult. (At least form me )

3. You need a ccBPM o SAP NW BPM.

Regards.
