Siemens - Simantic IT Unilab / SAP Integration / xMII

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Any experience in conducting integration between Simantic IT Unilab (LIMS) and SAP R/3 using xMII?

Simantict IT offers connectors to achieve such integration with SAP R/3 by XI pathway. But we found this as an opportunity to explore xMII. I would appreciate any comments or suggestion in this particular.

Thanks

Tony

Tony,

I haven't personally seen or done interfaces to Unilab, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been done, and according to: http://www.cubetechnologies.com.au/Contents/sb_unilab_e.pdf

"Standardized and scalable: Simatic IT Unilab has become the industry standard in hardware and software. The system is based on industry standards such as Oracle, Microsoft, NT, and Unix. You can choose an architecture with two or three tiers. Simatic IT Unilab is standardized and was designed to interface with other enterprise systems (ERP, MES, etc.) through conventional and emerging technologies (such as XML)."

LIMS systems in most cases just have an industry standard relational database underneath the vendor specific client application, which is no problem for xMII standard connectivity for running queries or calling procedures to access the desired information.
