What is meant by Seamless Integration using XI ?

When we use BAPI technology for Integration between SAP and Non-SAP systems, the flat file concept comes into picture.

I do accept that the maintainance of this kind of point to point (BAPI) interface is pretty complex and labourious.

But how XI will comeover this issue....????

Can anyone explain me about this...????

Hi

Seamless means one to one connection without any joints.

BAPI though can be exposed to the outside world, but the outside world need data only in particular format, which is given by XI. XI eases the conversion of data from one form to the other.

XI is an ESB framework. ESB framework provides integration services using interface based approach. Interfaces do not address the implementation so that there is not tight coupling between service consumer and service provider.

ESB also provide loose coupling, means any entities required to address an integration requirement can be further divided into different types of entities such as

Data types (atomic, composite and canonical), message types, interface types, which will help us async mode of computing and reusability.

A async mode of operation in computer is efficient compared to point to point computing also async mode of operation help us to change integration need by re-configuring or re-wiring the entities to meet the business changes.

All these FACTS together provide you a seamless integration options

Hi Pavan,

>>What is meant by Seamless Integration using XI ?

Seamless Integration in XI is Intergating two systems without causing any errors or complications.
