Query on EDIFACT

[sahithi_moparthi]

Hi Everyone,

  We have around 100 interfaces with EDIFACT messages using seeburger and using PI7.1.Now we are planning to migrate to PI7.31.

Could any one please provide some inputs on the below queries:

1) Do we have to install seeburger  adapter seperately for PI 7.31?

2) How we can convert EDI messages to EDI XMl messages without seeburger adapters ?

3) In PI7.31,do we get the adapters by default ?

Hi Sahiti,

1) Do we have to install seeburger  adapter seperately for PI 7.31?

Ans:-  For your current PI version you must be using seeburger 1.8.3 or 1.8.4 adapter . For PI 7.3.1 you need to upgrade your seeburger adapter with 1.8.5

2) How we can convert EDI messages to EDI XMl messages without seeburger adapters ?

Ans:- there are many ways, if your client wanted to remove third party adapters then this is the best time to remove seeburger and use SAP B2B addon. SAP Announced B2B adapters for SAP PI owned by SAP- (Available from 30-mar-2012).SAP Partnership with Seeburger still in place.

3) In PI7.31,do we get the adapters by default ?

Ans:- No,  for using SAP B2B add-on you require an additional license

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your reply!!!

Very useful information. I have one more query:

3) In PI7.31,do we get the adapters by default ?

Ans:- No,  for using SAP B2B add-on you require an additional license.

Do we require additional license for SAP B2B add-on,if we are on PO ?

[Dimitri]

Yes, the same applies for SAP PO, an extra license is required.

This just came in hot off the press!

Additional license for B2B Add on no longer required for SAP PO.

Hi,

SAP introduced the new B2B add-on for SAP PI and PO long time ago.

This new product is very mature, robust, straight forward, 100% integrated and easy to configure.

Please have a look at the community, dedicated to B2B integration:

Kind regards,

Dimitri
