Hi can any one tell me what are seeburger adpaters and how actually is it used in EDI based intergrations
Hello Ram,
SeeBurger is a leading provider of global business integration solutions.
Market launch of the most successful EDI solution for the automotive industry in 1986.
the company today serves more than 7,000 customers in 42 countries and more than 15 industries through its flagship B2B Gateway and related products and services.
First company worldwide to receive certification for SAP R/3
Building a closer partnership with SAP.
Extended any-to-any-conversion.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an Any-To-Any Format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex,high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC Data Sources.
Supported EDI formats include: ANSI, EDIFACT, INHOUSE, IDOC, XML Schema, XML DTD, CSV,Delimited Data, positional data, SWIFT, EANCOM and many more.
Mapping Designer, a graphical tool, easily defines data format conversions via drag and drop functionality, enabling easy integration between source and destination files. A central mapping reposiu00ADtory enables comprehensive support of versioning and deployment support, such as self-testing and auditing.
The SAP Exchange Infrastructure message format is based on XML, but it also can work with non-XML data using attachments. In some cases it may be necessary to convert the main XML document in a message, into a non-XML document. The use of BIC is very common in Business-to-Business scenarios where EDI standards are in use.
The Business Integration Converter (BIC) of Seeburger is based on Java JIT Technology and can be used for small real-time messages, as well as very large master data (i.e.Catalogs) batches.
BIC can convert outbound invoices from XML format (used in SAP XI) to an EDIFACT invoice. The conversion can be executed before the message is transmitted to the business partner. The other way around, once an EDIFACT message has been received from the business partner, it must first be converted to XML format, which is the format SAP XI supports.
The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. BIC will allow you to do the following
Once you install BIC, you need to do Import the Generator Mappings into the Project Explorer of BIC MappingDesigner.
You can find Generator Mappings as a ZIP file in the following location <BICMappingDesignerInstallationDirectory>\user\bicmd\Exchange and select the file prj_GeneratorMappings.zip.bicmd.
In MappingDesigner select File Import Generator Mappings Zip File prj_GeneratorMappings.zip.bicmd Clik on Add and OK.
Once Import is done you can see Generator Mappings in BIC Mapping Designer.
The SEEBURGER Adapter runs on the SAP WEB AS (J2EE Engine)
The SEEBURGER Adapter is integrated into the SAP Exchange Infrastructure over JCA (Java Connector Architecture)
Consequence :
Supply of the complete SEEBURGER EDI/B-to-B-Technology-Suite within SAP NetWeaver
Central File of Business Content (mappings, integration processes) in the Integration Repository of SAP XI
Central configuration and design by using the Tools of XI in the configuration
Central monitoring and alerting over SAP XI

Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.
Supported EDI formats include:
ANSI
EDIFACT
INHOUSE
IDOC
XML Schema
XML DTD
CSV
Delimited Data
positional data
SWIFT
EANCOM
and many more.
See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.
Seeburger thread:
Refer this forum which is replied by me which talka about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:
