Core Java will do.Java is required only for Java Proxies, Adapter Development.

Hi,

Its always a added advantage if u know Java. And also you have know about ABAP .................so these languages will is good to know XI..

If u r new to Xi click on the below link which has the End-to-End process documentation of XI..

Hi Vinay,

Java is required when you are working with Java Proxies , Java Webservice or creating Adapter modules in NWDS. Otherwise very basic knowledge of core java will do just to create User Defined Functions in Message Mappings.

Hi,

If you know java then it is very good, if not then nothing to worry because in general java is only required whenever you go for java mapping or going to create any UDF in mapping.

Hi

No need to have the knowledge of java in XI.

But

1)when you want to overcome the limitation of GUI mapping

==>use UDF in Java.

==>Importing java mapping

please go through the blog

Hi,

Advance java knowledge is not required ususally, adavance java is required if you have a requirement which is not satisfied by graphical mapping then you go for advance java mapping but if you have core java knowledge then you can use that one in XI.

I suggest you first read the theory about XI:

If your new SAP XI , then its better to read TIBIT. Below are the links of TIBIT

which are very helpful in understanding the End-to-end process of XI. And you can even do some exercies here which very helpful.

And of course u have documentation abt adapters
