Installation of Netweaver XI

[Former Member]

Hello Friends

We have received the software for Netweaver and ECC etc., (whole package) and trying to install ourselves with out any basis guys help.

The reading material they have sent is very confusing.

How can I just install the XI part of Netweaver?

Also, Do I need to first install solution manager first, Since they have sent

several CDs of SolutionManager installation.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)

u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)

or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation

XI installation: https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700009389172004E.PDF

In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.

At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.

U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.

ABOUT XI :

If it’s just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.

The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.

First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.

First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.

You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.

Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.

Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.

Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.

You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once you’re done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.

You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.

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

hi

No need to install solution manager separately u can installl sap ecc with solution it is coming in built and then install xi on a separate server because xi needs separate web application server and coming to installationguide u can find it from sap.com/instguide

You do not need to install solution manager first.

From NetWeaver 7.0 XI is called PI. After starting sapinst you should be able to find the PI installation for the specific database you are going to use.

All install guides are at service.sap.com/instguides

It is crucial that you follow the install guide closely to avoid having problems at a later stage.
