PI Experts,

I am an SAP Enterprise Portal Consultant and I am new to XI/PI.

I would like to learn PI and want to be a master on this.

Kindly provide me the links for Weblogs to start from beginning to End.

If you provide any e-learning materials thats also fine.

Please dont provide SDN thread links.

Regards,

Karthick Eswaran

Configuration required at Xi side:

Go to IDX1: configure the port.

Configiration required at R3 side:

Maintain Logical System for PI (SALE transaction):

Maintain Partner Profile for XI system(WE20):

Pre-requisites for Outbound IDoc from R/3 to PI:

Configurations required in R/3:

Maintain Logical System (SALE)
