XI with Webmethods

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

1. How XI is going to communicate with WebMethods? Is there any specific adapter for communicating with webMethods in XI?

2. Can we use standard communication methodology to communicate with webMethods ?

Thanks,

Vikram

Check this blog by and Article by my colleague Abhy that describes the WB - XI Integration.

WebMethoads has provided a XI Adapter that can be plugged into WM and can be used to trigger calls to XI,

I have seen the blog before, but iam talking from xi point of view not from webmethods point of view.

If your webmethods is going to use the XI adapter in its landscape then XI will use the XI Adapter to push the data to WM_XI adapter.

If your client is not willing to use the WM_XI adapter , you would need to use HTTP / SOAP adapters.

Hi Vikram,

If the service available at Webmethods side, get WSDL file from WM and consume it in SAP XI server. Use SOAP adapter at receive side.

Else service available at SAP xi side. ( generate WSDL file from SAPXI) and give it to WM . WM will consume that wsdl file. Use SOAP adapter at sender side.

HI Vikram

Initially WEBMethods and SAP colleborated and created a joint venture product called SAP Business Connector.Then SAP Created its own middlewear called XI.

Webmethods have set of adapters to connect with SAP so at present there is no direct connection between SAP XI and webmethods.

They both access SAP tables using RFC and IDOC.

go through this thread..it gives diff bet XI and webmethods,

THis gives how XI gonna communicate with Webmethods,

I hope upto some extent i clears your query

Cheers..
