Since you are an ABAP consultant and therefore you can go for both XI as well as BW, but as you said you don't want to be in programming then XI will be better for you and your abap knowledge will be plus point.

Hi,

I feel Xi will not require more coding.

Xi is divided in two part.

1) Development

2) Administation (BASIS).

Under the development:

People first design the object and then they will configure the objects. Once u have the idea of requirement u can easily implement it in XI as there are many standard functions are given by SAP.

Not much coding is required but if there is a requirement which is not fulfilled by standard function then u need to do it in JAVA so little bit of java knowledge is required.

In the configuration side. there are standard configuration steps are defined and also the standard adapters are provided by XI so there is also not much conding involved in configuration part as well.

Also u said u have worked on ABAP so that will be used in designing the PROXy scenario.

I hope this will help u..in deciding.

Thnx
