3rd party adapter integration into XI

Question

Dear Experts
I wanted to know how 3rd party adapters are integrated into XI?

Answer 1

Hi Dheer,
There many third party adapters available in market.
One example is seeburger:
U need to follow the below steps for integration into XI:
For the same requirement 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.
if u need process then let me know I will send u the configuration threads which is required for integration.

Brief about seeburger:
Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.
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.
