Hi Abhishek Jain ,

>>Can any one let me know what are the pre-requisites to learn XI?

XI is configuration using different scenarios like FILE 2 IDOC, FILE 2 JDBC, FILE 2 FILE, PROXY 2 PROXY...

For IDoc , u should be familiar with ABAP.

We can import JAVA functions into XI . Hence if u know JAVA it's good.

U should be familiar with XML, XSLT..

>>Also provide the links and study matrial for the same. Also provide some tutorials.

Configuration required at Xi side:

Go to IDX1: configure the port.

Go to IDX2: load the DOC metadata.

Go to SM59: Create RFC destination which points to R3 system this is require in the case where your IDOC is sent to R 3 system,

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)

In this case you can define you scenario as a proxy to File. The blog explains the proxy part. Map the structure to a file and complete the scenario.
