Hi Friends,

I have around 4 yrs of experience in SAP-ABAP ,I am interested to move to sap-xi but some of my friends told me there will be java coding required for mapping and developing Adapters etc . in SAP-XI ,but I don't have prior knowledge in java.

In other way I am not interested in coding line any more.if it is less coding(100-200 lines code) then it is okay .

How best SAP-XI would be for me at this situation ???

Should I go for XI / BW ?

I am eagerly waiting for ur best suggestion ..........

Thx and Regds,

Bapi

<b>My sincere advice is you go for SAP BW. </b>

But if you want to be in XI, and to read learn it all by yourself==>

What is SAP XI?

SAP Exchange Infrastructure is SAP’s platform for process integration based on the exchange of XML messages.

1. It provides a technical infrastructure for XML based message exchange in order to connect SAP components with each other as well as with non-SAP components.

2. It delivers business process integration knowledge to the customer in the form of SAP pre-defined business scenarios.

3. It provides an integrated tool set for building new business scenarios by defining and maintaining all integration relevant information. (“Shared collaboration knowledge”).

Before we take a closer look at how the Exchange Infrastructure will enter into the IT landscape of every SAP customer, let’s take a closer look at the capabilities as well as the strategic direction of XI. This particular module of Net Weaver is one of the most powerful and is undeniably the most critical. Its purpose is really three-fold:

Connect:

XI has the ability to connect all applications regardless of whether it is an application

From a 3rd party or from SAP. The solution has pre-built connectivity to all SAP modules

Such as SAP CRM and utilizes the Adapter Framework to integrate 3rd Party solutions

such as Siebel, People Soft, Legacy systems, or AS/400s and Mainframes.

Coordinate:

XI has the ability to define a path/workflow for each business transaction that is

Integrated. The system actively routes each message to ensure that it is properly

Delivered from the source to the target destination. Active monitoring allows

Administrators to manage document exchange on an exception basis.

Communicate:

XI has the ability to translate files into any format whether an internal file format or any

Business to Business integration standard including but not limited to an XML format, an

EDI format, a marketplace, or a Web Service. Finally, there are multiple communication

Protocols included which allow the routing of a file over protocols such as s/FTP, http/s,

SOAP, ebMS, Value-Added Networks, or EDI INT (AS1, AS2).

Understanding The SAP Exchange Infrastructure_

Now, you might be saying to yourself, we already have solutions that provide all of this

Functionality. True, most organizations have invested previously in an integration strategy, but what we see in over 90% of organizations is that they have multiple translators and communication brokers, which they are supporting on a daily basis. This

is both a resource drain as well as a monetary drain. For example, it is not uncommon to see the following even in smaller organizations:

• Multiple Point to Point connectivity: For example, R/3 connected to a 3rd party

Warehouse Management Solution via an internally developed adapter or with the SAP

Business Connector

• A 3rd party EAI Integration Broker to connect legacy mainframe systems to SAP and

WMS

• A 3rd party EDI translator to communicate messages

• A 3rd party XML broker to communicate XML messages to marketplaces and non-EDI

Trading partners

• A communication server that focuses on sending messages via FTP, Value-Added

Networks and Internet protocols such as AS2 solution of choice for SAP end users

Once you go through these links and are a bit aware what all XI objects do, you can try a simple "File to File Scenario" which would help you to understand XI objects in a much better manner.

For help on this scenario go through this blog it is in two parts thus I am providing both links below:

Hi

SAP-XI is a middleware.It is an Integration platform and Technology just like any other EAI(Enterprise Application Integration).For example TIBCO is a competitor for XI.

But you can learn XI if you have knowledge of SAP ABAP.

In fact a knowledge of both Java and ABAP is required for SAP-XI.

True,Java coding will be required for particularly Java mapping,Java Proxies and developing Adapters etc.But basic knowledge of Java would help you in this.You can do the basic stuff with knowledge of datatypes, instantiating classes, writing small functions etc.Same way ABAP is required ABAP mapping,proxies etc.

You can really go for learning XI since you are saying you are aquainted with ABAP.

XI is quite in demand these days.BW is also good.It all depends on your personal interest.

Prospects of XI
