nonSAP to nonSAP App Integration Using XI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Apart from from SAP Applications, I have some nonSAP

applications in the landscape. I want to integrate nonSAP

Applications using XI, They are either some custom VB

applications, or some database applications.

Their input and output operations are using flat text

files/CSV files or some fixed length flat file ASCII

formats.

What all hardware,software are needed to integrate this

scenario ?

I have seen we can do it with adapters but What do i need

to purchase/install at the application systems to talk to

XI?

And what are hte steps that has to be done at the technical level ??

Any input is appreciated

Regards,

RM

Hi Ruby,

>>>And what are hte steps that has to be done at the technical level ??

you can find many weblogs describing your exact scenario

(file to file using file/ftp adapter)

like this one:

/people/krishna.moorthyp/blog/2005/06/09/walkthrough-with-bpm

you may also find many other weblogs about file adapter

thet you can use on the XI weblog page:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/weblogs/topic/16

like using content conversion , etc with many many examples

>>>>I have seen we can do it with adapters but What do i need

to purchase/install at the application systems to talk to

XI?

if you buy XI you'll have everything that you need to

create your file - file scenarios, file/ ftp adapter is

already included so you don't have to buy anything more

>>>What all hardware,software are needed to integrate this

you may take a look at qucik sizer:

Hi Michal,

Thanks for your help. I have seen the weblogs and links,

it all talks about how to configure the File adapters.

I need to know if i want to integrate 2 nonSAP applications

than what exactly i need to install in the applications systems ?

Will it be a centralized adapter or decentralized ?

is it J2EE Adapter or J2SE Adapter ? Where can i find those adapters ?

DO I need PCK ???

If it is in the standard installation CD than whats the file name and

where i can find it in the CD ??

RM

Hi Ruby,

First you need to install XI(instlln docs u can find in service.sap.com).You may go for centralised adapters now.

No need of separate installation for these adapters.

Then you need to include your nonSap systems in your SLD in buisness and technical systems.

Hardware requiremnts for XI given in htis thread:

Hi,

you just have to install XI

no need to install anything more (no decentralized adapters, nothing more)

go to:

https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/swdc

- Installations and Upgrades

--- Search for Installations and Upgrades

and type: exchange

you'll find the required CDs

then you have to go with "xi installation guide"

and "XI configuration guide"

BTW

you can also take a look at this weblog:
