Best practices in choosing Product Version / App Comp Type

[Former Member]

Unfornunaly I din't find a document like SAP XI Best practice.

I am a litle bit confuced in terms Product version, Software Component Version, Main Instance...

Are the following scenarios right?

1. <b>I want to integrate non-SAP System.</b>

a) I have to create SYSTEM and PRODUCT in SLD

b) I have to create integration scenario in my PRODUCT

c) Which type of Application Component do I have to choose?

(In help.sap.com <b>Choise Template if it is non-SAP product that it is not defined in SLD</b>)

It is non-SAP product <b>but it is defined</b> in SLD. Which type of App Comp is the best?

What sense is in Application Component Type?

2. <b>I want to integrate SAP SRM and Oracle DB of non-SAP application</b>

Do I need to use SAP SRM Product Version and to create Integration Scenarion there?

Which Application Component Type do I need to choose for non-SAP application? Template?

Hi Sergey,

>>1. I want to integrate non-SAP System.

>>>> b) I have to create integration scenario in my PRODUCT

no you don't have to create integration scenarios

these are only created to show the flow of our processes

but you don't have to create/use them

take a look at this weblog if you really want to create it:

/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/08/27/modeling-integration-scenario146s-in-xi

>>> Do I need to use SAP SRM Product Version and to create Integration Scenarion there?

you don't need integration scenario here too

but if you want you can create it

Do you suggest to create only Interfaces/Mapping in Design Time?

I'm generating configuration scenario by integration scanario.

Without integration scenario I have to create all config time object myself.
