Solved: Help on detailed XI Overview

Former Member · ‎05-05-2008

Hi to all,

I have to write a detailed XI overview to present to a customer of my company. Where can I find some documents about it? Can you suggest some links? or can you send some documents by mail (lamberti.anronio#libero.it)?

Thank you very much for your help,

Antonio

Hi,

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 http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
