Hi...some more information

Third party adapters are provided by Seeburger which is used to integrate EDI scenarios. Adapters are AS2,VAN,OFTPS,X400.

U need to purchase a license for the same.

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.

If SAP XI can manage to develope EDI adapters then SAP XI dont require third party adapters for EDI conversion.

We have other options as well for EDI message conversion.

here are the few links which u can refer.

1) Using stylus studio

HI,

EDI adapters are:

1) AS2

2) OFTPS

3) VAN

4) X400

if u r really interested in learning the flow and configuration then refer the below threads.

you need to follow the below steps:

1) First deploye the Std seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI

2) If you are using the AS2 adapter then you have to install the AS2 server on XI server.

3) Once you install the std seeburger on SAP XI server you will see the AS2,X400,OFTPS,VAN adapter on XI ID.

5) You need to call the std mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI.
