hi

i read that PCK is some thing which enables the smaller companies (which are not the business parners of XI to communicate with XI and then send it to the target systems(which are the business partners of xi).

>and PCk is a package which is not distributed individually but given only to its business partners then how can the smaller companies (which are not the business parners of XI) communicate via PCK

Hi

PCK is a mini version of XI. It is used by smaller business partner (who cannot afford to install a full blown version XI) to exchange XI messages with large companies (having an XI installation).

PCK has its own local Adapter engine.

Yes u need to have .

PCK is nothing but the J2EE adapter engine.

A partner may not need a full blown XI and so to communicate to the main company, he can install the PCK ( just the Adapter Engine ) and use it to send and receive data from the main company.

It does not have a abap stack and is just a j2ee engine installation.

>>doubt

souppose we are company X and we have xi connectivity

can we connect to comapny A and B via x for data communication

with ftps alone

>>or do we nee to have PCK for both A and B

Actually you also have mapping runtime and logical routing in PCK.

Henrique,

Thanks for the correction.

What i meant was PCK just has a J2EE stack and no ABAP stack but I guess it came out wrong..

hi

bhavnesh

wats the difference b/w j2ee stack and j2e engine

all the ir and id are done in j2ee stack

wats done abap stack

[henrique_pinto]

Adapter engine is one of the services that run on J2EE stack. IR and ID are also services that run on J2EE stack.

In normal PI box, Integration server, HTTP and IDOC adapters and BPE are the parts in ABAP Stack.

hi henrique

thanks for the response

but BPE is something which is done in IR(j2ee stack) is in exception

[former_member335553]

Hi

<b>Tha ABAP stack consists of the Integration Server which in turn contains your Integration Engine and Business Process Engine.</b> .So it is not n to J2ee but on abap stack

The J2EE stack contains the Adapter Engine and your IR and ID run on the J2EE engine.

Most of XI pipelines happens in the ABAP stack.

All messsages picked by the Adapter Framework running on the J2EE engine are passed to the Integration Engine, which does the routing. The mapping program again gets executed on the Java stack and the rest of the pipeline servies are executed again on the ABAP stack and so on.

You do have an interface for BPM configuration in IR (Java Stack), but all BPE works over ABAP Workflowm, thus its execution resides in ABAP stack. The java part is just a frontend to facilitate the developer's life, since you will have a single interface for Repository development and all.

Henrique.
