Praneet,

The skill XI with ABAP background is in great demand in the present market. If one knows XI with ABAP/Java, that will be greatly helpful.

XI stands for eXchange Infrastructure, which is an Integration Technology Solution from SAP. It is a Middleware technology. Eventhough, we have many middleware technologies, XI has great scope in future.

Can u tell me dif between EDI (SAP to Non SAP) and XI?

EDI is an standard for data exchange. It could be interpreted as set of rules based on which organizations generate their documents. These rules are universally accepted and thus enabling other organizations to understand those docs.

XI is the middleware that provides the complete Integration solution to organizations. XI reduces the complexities of overall system landscape and therefore is much preferred by organizatins. For communication XI uses universally accepted standards like xml, BPEL, wsdl etc.

Hi,

You cannot compare EDI and XI. They are 2 different concepts / terminolgies.

EDI is a format for data exachnage in B2B scenarios.

XI supports EDI format so that it can communicate across firewalls and business according to specific standards.

Please look into this excellent article to understand EDI and how XI supports EDI,

Taking Care of Business -- XI and EDI

SeeBurger Provides Adapters for EDI integration using XI. Itemfield Conversion Agent is another means to communicate to a EDI system using XI

Hi praneet

o add more...

EDI came into when there was a need to exchange data between companies ,etc..

there comes with perticular standards like anscii12 and so...so that no one will say that u fallow my method...

EDI is a technology.

EDI goes with perticular standards like HIPPA,ANSCII 12..

EDI has got point to point connection.

xi came into picture ...when u are using SAP why not SAP product to exchnage data...

XI is a tool

it has got shipped sap Components like CRM,etc.

it is an SAP tool.

Openess and interoporability.

single point of connection.

multiple database updation

with regards
