Hi,
I need what knowledge and how much extent i must have to learn xi.
like java,xml,xslt,abap etc.. whatever i must have plz tell me
thanks
Hi Vijjay,
follow the steps which i give u can clearly understand,
Just when u see the architecture of XI u can clearly understood that everything was interdependent in XI,
Why WebAS is used in the sense the integration builder which is present in the Netweaver will basically run in the explorer, which depends on the java stack, so a platform is required which is used to support both ABAP as well as JAVA, so a unique architecture or we can say platform was introduced to build a system which is nothing but WebAS, it may be WebAS JAVA or WebAS ABAP.
and when u come to the servers part, it is quite differient when compared with XI3.0 and PI7.0 and at the same time in PI we have a provision of installing the both java and abap as central instance and when u see in XI3.0 u need to sepatrately configure for both java and ABAP, as a whole in concern we dont see separately in the servers part..
SLD can be classified into 2 as
1. Software Catalog
2. System Catalog
Software catalog consists with Products and Software Components.
If u know Ms-Office we can understand better, Ms-Office is an Product in which Ms-Word and Ms-Excel and others are the components of the Ms-Office product in similar any object created in XI should store under any software component so we require a Software Component and at the same time this Software Components should be under Products, so we are creating products the hierarchy will be like this for software catalog
PRODUCTS -
>>> SOFTWARE COMPONENTS -
>> NAMESPACES CREATED DURING DESIGN -
> OBJECTS
System Catalog consists with Techinal System and Business System
Technical System is the physical entity but where as the Business System is the logical system of the Technical System..
i.e an n number of business systems are created for a singel Technical system.
Basically while developing the scenarios it is difficult to share the technical system so we develop instance of the technical system i,e a logical system.
*Regarding to the Integration Repository..*
The concepts that to be covered are ..
know about the Software components and namespaces
Interface Objects -- Data types -- Where structures are designed
Message types
Message Interfaces -- Where structure of the data type are
accessed through message types..
Mapping -- Choose according to the requirement basically we have 4 types of mapping, Graphical Mapping, ABAP Mapping, Java Mapping, XSLT Mapping.
Proxy Generation --Which is used to avoid adapters in transforming information (Adapterless communication)
Sometimes we use BPM depends on the requirement.. Integration Scenarios..
Regarding to the Integration Directory..
First according to the scenario u have to decide whether to use a party, service without party in which it contains business system, business service , business scenario..
The creation of Objects will be like this ...
*Communication Party or Service
Communication Channel
Receiver Determination
Interface Determaination
Sender Agreement
Receiver Agreement*
Business scenario is used when a scenario is developed using BPM's
Based on your needs, you can select from the following service types:
Business System: Address a particular business system as the sender or receiver of messages.
A business system is an actual application system in a system landscape. A business system
(service) comprises information about the inbound and outbound interfaces and the software
component versions of the business system. The business system services are used when
configuring internal company processes.
Business Service: Address an abstract business entity as the sender or receiver of messages.
Using a business service, you can define the technical or business subunits of the companies
involved and then assign them the relevant interfaces. The business services are used when
configuring cross-company processes.
Business Process or Integration Process Service: Address an integration process as the sender or receiver of messages.
Prerequisites
The business system must be entered in the SLD.
A communication party has been created.
1Create Business System as Service with Party
Procedure
1. In the Configuration: Integration Builder, navigate to Objects tab.
2. Expand Party.
3. Right-click on Business System and choose Assign Business System.
4. In Business System Wizard, skip the step 1 Introduction by choosing Continue.
5. In step 2 Assign Party, for example, enter Buyer.
6. In step 3, select systems from the list that you want to define as the business system
service.
7. Choose Finish.
Create Business Service as Service with Party
Procedure
1. In the Configuration: Integration Builder, navigate to Objects tab.
2. Expand Party.
3. Right-click on Business Service and choose New.
4. In the Create Object Wizard, choose a communication party. For example, select
Seller.
5. Enter a service name, for example, PCK_Service.
6. Enter a description for the service.
7. Choose Create and Save.
After Creating the Systems u need to choose the Adapter based on the scenario.. we call this as communication channel, and we shuld configure the communication channel to fetch the file from the source and to drop the files to the target directory..
Then it should follow with Logical Routing and Collaboration Agreements..
Logical Routing consists with Receiver Determination and Interface Determination
Collaboration Agreements consists with Sender Agreement and Receiver Agreement..
In Receiver Determination u have to specift the what are all the receivers that are going to receive the message and u have a provision of delivering the message based on the payload by using an option of condition editor.
In Interface determination u will be specifying the Interface mapping which was developed in the design in between Outbound and Inbound Interfaces
In Sender agreement we give the communication channel which is developed in the sender side w.r.t the business system/service.
In Receiver agreement we give the communication channel which is developed in the receiver side w.r.t the business system/service.

Hi,
To learn XI, you need basic knowledge of XML, java and SAP. It will be advantageous to explore in XI based on the knowledge of Core java, SAP (ALE/IDOC, RFC, Proxy), and XML structure.

HI,
For The starter you first need to understand the basic of XI. U need to have the knowledge of java,ABAP sometimes based on ur requirements.
XI is the middle ware tool which is used to integrate the SAP and Non SAP system.
Purpose
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, uses open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers those services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape:
● Modeling and design of messages, transformations, and cross-component integration processes
● Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow
● Runtime for message and process management
● Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components
● Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes
SAP XI supports internal company scenarios and cross-company scenarios.
XI has following components:
1) Design and Configuration time components

2) Mappings
3) Adapters
