Hi,

Any one can explain the concept of RNIF and how it will used in XI.

Thanks

Hi Rao,

RosettaNet Implementation Framework is specification that is packaging, routing and transferring of RosettaNet business messages as well as specification of business signal messages used in the execution of RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes(PIPs).

XI enables A2A and B2B Integrations which supports open standards like XML, SOAP and industry standards like Rosettanet, CIDX and PIDX to implement B2B integrations across organization boundaries. XI provides a set of technical and industry specific adapters that facilitate communication using industry standards. XI focuses on supporting RosettaNet-based scenarios that are standardized for the High Tech industries. XI provides the RNIF Adapter, developed based on Rosettanet framework which supports RosettaNet-based communication between different business partners.

RNIF adapters are used to send messages between the Integration Server and RosettaNet compliant system.

HI,

RNIF adapters support the data communication standard – RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet.

This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.

The adapters change the XI message format to the required RosettaNet message format. The adapters also change the format of

messages from partner systems to the XI system.

You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.

Please refer to the replay of following webinar on Know-how network calls that has live demo on how to configure the RNIF

Adapter.

There are 3 software components related to RosettaNet that are offered by SAP:

ROSETTANET

ROSETTANET CRM

ROSETTANET ERP

The component ROSETTANET contains mainly the definitions of the PIP's, while the components ROSETTANET ERP and ROSETTANET CRM

contain (most importantly) the mappings against the respective SAP backend (CRM or ERP).

If you look for complete support of PIP's including the mapping to the backend (IDoc or BAPI) you need to check which PIP's

are supported in ROSETTANET CRM or ROSETTANET ERP. Here the document you find following the link in the SAP service

marketplace is correct. As of today SAP offers mappings for the following PIP's:

PIP3A4

PIP3A7

PIP3A8

PIP3A9

PIP3B2

PIP3C3

PIP3C6

find the latest information on the service marketplace). In general, SAP is working on making all PIP's available in that

available very soon.

Currently you find the following PIP's:

PIP2A12

PIP3A1, 3A2, 3A4, 3A6, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9

PIP3B2, 3B12, 3B13, 3B14

PIP3C3, 3C4, 3C6

PIP4A1, 4A5

PIP5C1, 5C2, 5C3, 5C4

PIP6C1, 6C2

Also important to mention is that SAP works with some partners that also offer mappings for some PIP's, for example 3C4 and

the PIP6C* series.
