HI everyone,
We have biztalk as integration tool. I would like to know is it feasible to implement Biztalk with SAP XI to communicate with our SAP ECC server. I heard it will be over weight to use both Biztalk and SAP XI coz each will have its own message box and leads to more process time. So we are planning to use Biztalk with SAP webservices. So please let me know which is better as cost wise and work wise biztalk with SAP XI or Biztalk with SAP Web services.
SAP Guys please take some time to provide some useful information. it will be much appreciated.
cheers

Using SAP XI it is possible to implement additional features such as reliable messaging as described in my whitepaper:
<a href="http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7521a237-0701-0010-499b-b3285b789c0d">Reliable Messaging between SAP XI 3.0 and Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Using SOAP-Compliant Communication</a>
SAP XI comes with serveral preconfigured scenarios. It would make absolutely no sense to publish several RFC funtion modules as Web services and rebuild the application logic that might already been available with SAP XI.
Best regards,
André

Hi Ram,
how are you doing today ?
From a business perspective, if u're using 2 rival products to do the same integration function, it is a defeat in architecture and in resurces consumed to do the requirement [tha two end systems]
lisence issues of how much is paid to the vendor will also then be higher than if u used either one and not both
technically speaking,
it is making the system overly complex without any real benefit or requirement
maintenance will increase and it will make troubleshooting more omplex when it does not need to be
i'd recommend the use of either based on the resources available
SAP web services are available since web AS 620, and just need to be enabled for the Function Module, RFC , BAPI
check out transactions WSCONFIG, WSADMIN
using them will make things simpler all around
but again it depeneds on the type of application, it's demands on Quality of Service and the nature of the Data as well
with respect,
amit

Hi Ram,
there should be no hiccups in integrating SAP Web services to BizTalk
most of the time will be spent in deciding which web services to sonsume
the methodology is stable and is fully supported within all SAP systems WebAS 620 upwards
what systems are you looking to connect from and to ?
with respect,
amit
