Advantages and disadv of xi

hi,
what are advantages and dis advantages of xi
wirh regards
vijender

Advantages of XI:
XI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
Any fully mature middleware should provide these three layers.
1. An independent Message Queue
2. A data consolidator and mapping engine
3. Workflow processor.
XI is lacking full-fledged Message Queue compared to other established Middleware products.
Currently, SAP XI does not have the features like IBM Websphere, Seeburger or TIBCO.
Here are the advantages of SAP XI from my point of view.There are lots of advantages but to list a few :
Easy Integration with SAP products & components (RFC, IDOC, Proxy).
Data security as expected from any SAP product.
Standards based - XML, XSD, Xpath etc
Ability to communicate with other messaging systems/products.
Business Process Management
Synchronous & Asynchronous communication possible.
Complex processes for communication possible instead of only sending and receiving (business process management) (connect e.g. asynchronous and synchronous steps, define complex communication scenarios)
Mapping etc possible to accomplish in Java. Platform independent Java components.
Java & .Net support.
Big range of adapters for different technologies / tools (SOAP, Mail, JDBC, CDIX...)available in standard or offered by other companies (EDI e.g. by Seeburger).
Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules fpr business purposes.
Central monitoring for data communication for all your communication between different systems.
And the marketing issue: SAP and its partners provide high volume of development capabilities to make XI always up-to-date for new requirements
Disadvantage is
XI is not stable....
costly
Other cost effective middleware are there like TIBCO...
hope this hepls u..

  • Advantages and disadvantages of OA Framework

    Hi All
    Can any one please share your experiences of advantages and disadvantages of OA Framework over JSP...
    I am preparing a document which is to be submitted to Client..
    Please share your experiences, it is urgent for me..

    There is no hardcore adv/disadv of using OAF over jsp, but in Oracle Applications, you either need to use JTF/JTT fwk or OA fwk to code pages that can be used within Oracle Applications, and in those terms OAF is a better framework than JTF.
    Normal jsp/java or other frameworks have enormous capabilities, but doesnt fill the Oracle Applications requirement as good as what OAF does.

  • Advantages and Dsadvantages of Remote Client Copy over Client Transport...

    Can anybody explain the Advantages and Dsadvantages of Remote Client Copy over Client Transport...
    Thanks in Advance

    Advantages of Remote client copy over client transport
    1. Client-specific data as well as cross-client customizing can be copied to the target client, this is not the same in client transport.
    2. The prerequisites for performing a remote client copy are that an RFC connection has to exist whereas client transport do not need RFC connection
    3. The copy can be performed in parallel with several processes.
    4. Remote client copy automatically performs a consistency check on the tables being copied,for client transport performance check need to be done.
    5. A remote client copy is easy to use and does not require file system space on
    operating system level whereas Client transport require lot of space as files are created at OS level.
    Disadv
    1. A remote client copy does not create a file at the operating system level,
    so there is no hard copy of the client to be copied. Therefore, the same,
    identical client copy cannot be duplicated at a later time.Client transport creates import and export files at Os levels
    2. To be able to copy all data during the client copy, the structures of all copied
    tables in both systems must be identical.
    3. An automatic repository consistency check is performed in Remote client copy and if inconsistencies are detected, the client copy is terminated and an error message is displayed.
    4. You cannot copy the remote client data and use it whereas in client transport you can copy the files in a cd (like import files, export files)

  • Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

    Hi,
    anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
    thanks in advance!

    The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
    In a bit more detail:
    - I used word to generate my default table
    - this created a field INVOICE_NUM
    - in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
    The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
    For any other formats this will not work.
    I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

  • Advantages and disadvanteges with static methods

    Hi,
    Can anybody suggest me the advantages and disadvantages of static methods? In my project i am using templates which are used by different programs and in that templates i am using static methods.
    It is web application. is there any problems if made methods as static in templates that are used by diferent clients?
    Thanks
    Karimulla

    A static method can't be overridden, and static methods are usually only used for some utility methods and other things which don't belong to the class. I would probably not make the methods static.

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of Dual booting Windows on PXI Device

     
    Hello,
    In solving my previous problem of running a DLL in RTOS I've stumbled upon another solution. But i wanted to know the pros and cons of this before i make the leap.
    I want to install windows on the PXI device so that the NHR DLL files are run inherently on the windows kernel and i have access over my DAQ devices without placing them in the remote target.
    What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing a windows only on the DAQ device and running all my operation from it. Do i loose my real time features? I dont know, I'm really new to LabView and may sound really dumb. Please excuse my lack of knowledge.
    With Regards,
    Khalid.

     
    Hello Bob,
    Thank you for your insightful answer. I also thought this might happen, loosing all the RT features.
    I have another question for you. If i use a RT variant of windows like "Windows Embedded 8", will this make any difference? Can i regain my RT features by it or i have to go with the LabView RTOS.
    I'm pushing towards a windows system because i have to run this DLL file from NHR which is not supported by the LabView RTOS.
    Moreover, I could just install just windows onto the PXI controller. I'm not being able to make it dual boot. Can you guide me towards proper guideline to do so? I looked at the knowledge base file about dual booting, but the instructions dont exactly match with my available options in BIOS setup.
    Any suggestions from anyone is much appreciated.
    With Regards,
    Khalid.

  • Singl/Multiple Server Oracle 10g DB and AS- Advantages and DisAdvantages

    Hi Friends,
    I am using Application1 using Oracle 10g Application Server and Oracle 10g database.
    Now i planned to use Application2 using Oracle 10g AS and Oracle 10g DB
    I need to know what will be the Advantages and Disadvantages if i have the schema for Application2 in the existing Oracle 10g DB / having it in another Oracle 10g DB Server
    sameway what will be the advantages and disadvantages if i have the Application2 regsiterd in existing Oracle 10g AS(Multiple OC4J Instance) / having it in another Oracle 10g AS Server.
    Regards

    To start the list, for me some of the advantages are:
    Same DB:
    - less overhead and wasted CPU Cycles (therefore potentially lower license fees)
    - easier maintenance (backup, recovery)
    - easier tuning (fewer conflicting external environments asking for same resources)
    - Oracle is designed for this, allows use of Resource Manager
    - technically RAC is a clustered 'same DB'
    Same AS:
    - less overhead and wasted CPU Cycles (therefore potentially lower license fees)
    - easier maintenance (backup, recovery)
    - easier tuning (fewer conflicting external environments asking for same resources)
    - Oracle is designed for this, use AS clustering
    Different DB:
    - separate maintenance (patch, upgrade) cycles for different SLA
    - easier tuning (isolate tuning to one app)
    - easier security (most developers have no idea about Oracle security and make merge impossible)
    Different AS:

  • Advantage and Disadvantage of user login ID

    Dear SAP expert,

    Hi Nitin,
    A view can be thought of as either a virtual table or a stored query. The data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. What is stored in the database is a SELECT statement. The result set of the SELECT statement forms
    the virtual table returned by the view. A user can use this virtual table by referencing the view name in Transact-SQL statements the same way a table is referenced.
    For more information about the advantages and disadvantages of views in SQL Server, please refer to the following two articles:

  • Advantages and Disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

    Dear All,
               Please specify the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of using BEx Analyzer for reporting over a browser.Does the analyzer provide better performance?generate exhaustive reports?and found better by users since it is excel based?
    Yours truly,
    Ratish
    [email protected]
    +919820827647

    Hello Ratish,
      The advantages and disadvantages are primarily based on the light weight client and heavy client.
    Excel -
    1. It is heavy weight and needs a client installation
    2. Analysis is easier , as excel functionalities can be used over BI data
    3. People who know excel will like this
    Web-
      1. It is light weight and no installation needed at the client as browser will be available
      2. Can not analyze the data from the report ( you need copy to excel)
    In simple analysts and expert users like excel.
    Users who just view the report and no more analysis will be happy with web.

  • What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

    HI,
    What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Logical standby database
    The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
    applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
    database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
    However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
    SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
    Physical standby database
    A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
    rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
    physical database.
    A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
    applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

  • Advantages and disadvantages of having 2 controlling areas.

    Dear All.
    My client have 2 company codes and will use same fiscal year variant and chart of account. so we recommend for one contrilling area. But my client wants some document or wants to know the advantages and disadvantages of having 2 controlling areas.
    I will really do appreciate if anybody hepls me in this regards.

    there is no general correct answer as every case is the different.
    However, the majority of solutions that have a single CoA will also have a single Controlling Area.
    The Controlling Area is the highest reporting level in Controlling, PCA, CCA etc.
    Normally if you have two CoA then you will have two Controlling Areas.
    A simple point to make to them is that a Controlling Area can only have 1 CoA, therefore you cant have 2.
    Are your Company Codes in the same Country?
