[Former Member]

Hello all,

Thanks in advance,

Sriram,

You can try scenarios line File to File,File to IDOC,IDOC to File.Also while doing File to File scenario, you can try with Delimited file.

In real time scenario,usually you will be given 5 days for complex scenario and 2-3 days for simple scenario.This may also vary depending on the Client and scenarios.

Reward if this heps.

Thanks&Regards,

Guys,

Thank you very much for your prompt responses. I have done all these basic scenarios. all i want is real time scenarios. can some one share a couple of them and solve my problem.

for real time--

do a scenario in which u have a csv file with four fields viz date, document name, document number and number of items. u have to update a table on another r/3 with this data and in case of erroneous records, an error table. Use XI as a middleware

U have 3 days to complete the full scenario

create a webservice to update the table

Valiveti,

All the weblogs and how to guides in the xi forums are real time scenarios only. Only thing it may differ is the complexity of the interface.

So please practice all of them for educating yourself.

Hi,

I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,

Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,

And after you are done with the documentation probably you can go through this scenario,

Also check the following threads which might help you a little more,

Oh... mmmm. Here's a scenario from our business then.

We have a Generic IDoc that is processed in our R3 system that sends data with any amount of the Z1SSV items Segments.

each of these segments has 999 bytes of data, with any amount of information in that data.

each segment of information is separated by a delimiter on a Z1SSVitem row.

This data has to be mapped to a flat file where each segment of information is its own row.

Example:

IDoc-

Delimiter:~

Z1SSVITEMS1: data1_data2example_somethingALongAmountOFTextExample~

Z1SSVITEMS2:moredata_textsomeinformation~sameDa

Z1SSVITEMS3:taOnSeperateRows_test1

Flatfile-

data1

data2

example

something

ALongAmountOFTextExample

moredata

text

someinformation

sameDataOnSeperateRows

test1

if you can't make the IDoc, you could make a XML file with a similar structure and FTP it in.

It took me 2 weeks to do this one, it was my first XI project, you'll have fun with trying to figure out a UDF that solves this one, because XI functions wont work. Since your already doing this, you can probably do it in 2 days if you can do UDFs already, if you can't do UDFs already, this could take a long time to figure out

FAQ by Michal

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/06/28/xipi-faq-frequently-asked-questions

Time taken to complete a scenario will really depend upon the complexity of the scenario and your expertise in the domain to handle situations.

If you need some docs for the basics,etc please send you email id.

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi Sriram,

It is very diffcult to share the Scenarios sriram because all those spec in the server system so we can upload into our mail server. But if you see the step by step scenaios explain in so many blogs then really worth ful. you can't expect more than that.

You have lot of blogs avilable here by seeing them you can get to know what is the buiness requirement and how we will do it.

Regarding time constrins, Depending on the client requirement it depends. But if you are through with the bais then definely you can complete within the time line. but if you struct up anywhere raise the query in the forum this is really helpful to us.

I was also in the same position and now i am able to do XI work at my client place and doing well.

So no need to worry about it. Just go through the all the blogs then you can get to know so many thigs.

I hope that you understand my feelings [how i recovered]

Warm Regards,

Vijay

If you're really new at this, I'd start off with a simple file to file scenario.

try to FTP a flat file from one server to another (Server to XI to Server)

With a source file:

Joe

Shmoe

Final File:

Joe Shmoe

This is just taking two data entries and concatenating them into one.

This will get you familiar with mapping and content conversion while trying to keep it simple.

Hi,

look at the FAQ on Documents.

It shows weblogs to many different scenarios.

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/06/28/xipi-faq-frequently-asked-questions

Just decide if you want some IDOC, FILE, JDBC ... with the Search function in SDN you will find as well many documents and blogs for every of them.

regards,

Robin
