Hello Friends,
I am new to SAP-XI. So one of my friend told me that if we have done JAVA or ABAP along with this it is very helpful for me. But i dont know that in which areas of XI is used JAVA or ABAP.
Thank you
Hi,
Just a Short overview:
Java->
Adapter Engine
Mapping Runtime
Java Proxys
ABAP->
Integration Engine
ABAP Proxys
ABAP Mapping
BPM
HTTP and IDOC Adapter
Right now you need for every szenario something of both.
As far as i know with PI 7.1 it is possible to communicate from Adapter to Adapter without passing the Integration Engine. So in future you can have some szenarios without ABAP.
Development Skills are always good in both languages. But i worked in arround 5 XI Projects without deep ABAP Development knowledge.
Of course you have to know the ABAP Stack... ALE ... RFC ... BAPI ..and so on ... but programming you need only for ABAP Proxy and ABAP Mapping.
regards,
Robin

Hi Ravi,
Quite difficult question to reply... I think u should know Both ABAP and JAVA.
Since it's a Integration technology. so we need atleast basic knowledge of ABAP , JAVA.
check this Blog for the same...

and This forum for Expert comments.
hope this will clear your dobut

Hi
If you are working for R/3 systems...then you have to use IDOC Adapters.
Using IDOC's you have to know the configurations of ALE...for ABAP stack..
If you want to create UserDefined Functions where you will get the difficulty at mapping level...then you have to know the CoreJava atleast..
finally,
SAP XI product supports both ABAP stack and Java stack which clearly draws out a conclusion that either a good ABAP or JAVA professional can learn SAP XI.
If you are open to learn new technology then you can learn SAP XI.It is no rocket science! The only thing that varies is the time taken to master the tool (Probably might take little more if you have not worked in SAP or Java or EAI or ABAP) and depth of understanding of the tool. It totally depends on your grasping ability and interests of learning to work on the SAP XI. We need to have an access to SAP XI system for working sample scenario that helps you in understanding things better.

Knowledge of both ABAP and JAVA is a good advantage for a XI consultant.
But ABAP-XI or JAVA-XI is also a prominent skill set.
More about XI in case you are new;

Hi Ravi,
A tough question to answer. But as far as XI development is concern its better to have good knowledge in both the languages.
But generally Java is most preferable as we use it for most of the times. I feel its better to have minimum (core java) java knowledge to start work with XI development (for mapping, UDF).
But for proxies and ABAP mapping ABAP language mandatory.
hope this helps.

Hello Ravi,
This is true ,as XI is an EAI tool developed by SAP,it give much emphasis on this XI and most of the integration process handled in XI will use IDOC ,whether its as sender or receiver systems,ie., SAP system to Non SAP system or vice versa.

Raju.
Please reward points if its useful
Hi,
It depends on the requirement of the company. If they are looking for ppl with ABAP knowledge (they mean having good knowledge in ALE,IDoc, and RFCs) so that they can work with SAP part of the integration.
But for start to work with XI, its good have knowledge in Java and ABAP.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
>>So one of my friend told me that if we have done JAVA or ABAP along with this it is very helpful for me.
YES
>>But i dont know that in which areas of XI is used JAVA or ABAP.
When integrating with SAP systems and working on Proxies etc.. we need to have ABAP knowledge
Inside XI, we have mapping functionalities.. if we can't achieve the funcationality with the existing functions we go for Java mappings etc..
so, it is always gud to have a fair knowledge of ABAP and JAVA as well.
regards
