Difference between SOA and B1ISN

Hi all,
Can anybody tell  me what is the difference between SOA and B1ISN ???
Thanks

Hi,
SOA, and more specifically eSOA, is a common service-oriented architecture / platform for SAP products.  Partners can build business applications in .NET based around and on top of this new architecture for SAP Business One and other SAP / 3-rd party applications (one of the samples provided shows integration between SAP Business One and Outlook).  You can find more information about eSOA [here|https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001387112008E].
B1iSN is SAP's existing integration solution for integrating data between SAP Business One and SAP R/3.  It is built on top of SAP's B1iP technology.  Users can either develop custom content / scenarios by using the core B1iSN solution, or can develop totally new and distinct solutions using B1iP.  You can find most information about B1iP in this forum.
In a more general sense, the answer to your question is that eSOA is a platform / architecture which allows the creation of integration solutions, while B1iSN is an existing solution built on top of B1iP.

  • Difference between soa and esoa

    Hi,
    What is the difference between SOA AND ESOA.
    Regards
    Abhay

    Hi
    In a nutshell, ESOA are simply Web services that provide enterprise-level business functionality.They may range from very simple lookup services (like finding a company’s location or product offerings) to more complex and composite services — but what they have in common is that they’re highly integrated into your process or application.Typically ESOA are high-level components that take more granular Web services and aggregate them into reusable elements with business value. For example, take the service Cancel Purchase Order. An elementary Web service like Delete Purchase Order would simply lead to the deletion of a purchase order in the corresponding database. However, if the stated goal is “cancel purchase order,” the service has to become a more far-reaching enterprise service that handles this process end-to-end, and therefore has to trigger a number of follow-up actions, including:
    => Check against production orders
    => Check against a corresponding billing process
    => Update of inventory/warehouse information Or consider the Credit Limit Check
    service, which at first glance seems to be quite simple. Normally, this service is one ingredient of the Order Creation service. But typically, credit checking is
    really a more elaborate composite service.
    5 Key Principles of ESOA
    1. Abstraction — hiding confusing details
    2. Modularity — breaking down complexity, resulting in reusable pieces
    3. Standardized connectivity — enabling flexible composition of services to
    create bigger processes and scenarios
    4. Loose coupling — allowing for separate evolution of the various components
    without breaking any points of integration
    5. Incremental design — enabling changes to composition and configuration
    without affecting the interior of components, and vice versa

  • What is the difference between SOA and AIA

    Hi All,
    Can you please let me know the need of SOA and AIA both ?
    Regards
    Kumar

    SOA is an underlying backbone or an infrastructure that supports and provides for web services. AIA is another technology from Oracle which is based on SOA.
    SOA offers different components such as BPEL, Mediator etc to build, test and publish web services. AIA is more of a framework which provides artifacts like the EBO, EBM which are standards based. These are part of a Foundation Pack. The artifacts can be used to build flows using BPEL and Mediator.
    Oracle themselves have come up with pre-developed, tested BPEL/Mediator flows which execute a business scenatrio. These are called PIPs and one can install and integrate systems to execute the common industry business cases.

  • Difference between ESOA and SOA Middle ware

    Hi All
    Can anybody explain me the difference between ESOA and SOA Middle Ware?
    Thanks
    SIM

    Hi SIM,
    SOA and ESOA are not middlewares.
    They are architectures.
    SOA is Service Oriented Architecture
    ESOA is same as SOA with some business semantics which is initiated by SAP to reduce the complexity of business process and problems.
    Middleware is any tool which is used to integrate different technologies and platform like XI .
    XI is a middleware tool which supports SOA and ESOA. I.e by using SOAP adapter you can expose web services which can have business meaning also.
    Hope this helps.

  • Difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit

    Hi,
    I am new to SOA. I want to install SOA Suite 64 Bit on my laptop which 64 Bit system and has Window 8 64 Bit.
    I am curious to know that what is the difference between SOA Suite 64 Bit and SOA Suite 32 Bit.
    Are there different installations available for 64 Bit and 32 Bit?
    Or
    Installations are same for 64 Bit and 32 Bit but it's only depends on whether JDK is 64 Bit or 32 Bit.
    Thanks,
    Prashant Jain

    Hi Anatoli,
    Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate it.
    I can download the latest SOA Suite but still I am curious to know that how can I use the same SOA Suite which I have as 64 Bit.
    Steps may be,
    1. Install JDK 64 Bit.
    2. Install the same weblogic with -D64 option.
    3. Install the rest of the software (most probably downloaded for Window 32 Bit not for generic 64 Bit).
    Will this make SOA Suite installation 64 Bit? Apologize if I am keep asking silly questions
    Thanks,
    Prashant Jain

  • Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?

    Hi,
    Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?
    I guess R2 is used only for mainframe systems some time back. But i dont know why we prefered R3 over R2.
    Please clarify this!
    Thanks,
    Venkatesh.R.

    SAP R/3 is
    Client server
    3 tier
    Presentation
    Application
    Database
    Relatively hardware and database independent
    ABAP/4 applications runs on application servers.
    Dispatcher, shared memory, gateway, work processes are major components of an application server.
    SAP R/3 offers
    Comprehensive suite of integrated applications meeting the needs of most business
    Best practice process design
    Ability to configure to
    Industry sector
    Unique business requirements
    In a R/2  System - it is a 2 Tier System based on Mainframe Systems with Intelligent terminals
    R/3 is based 3 tier Client Server architechture and supports the R/2 system as well.
    R/3 Middleware -
    Client server
    Uses underlying relational databases
    Oracle
    SQL server
    Ingress
    Sybase
    Its graphical user interface
    Sap GUI
    hence R/3 is preffered over R/2 systems because they support Client Server Architecture which is easily configurable,scalable and can integrate with ERP systems and integrate with SOA or Web based Apps.

  • Difference between Null and null?

    What is the difference between null and NULL?
    When is each used?
    Thanks,

    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
                  filetype                = 'ASC'
             changing
                  data_tab                = iflatf
             exceptions
                  file_open_error         = 1
                  file_read_error         = 2
                  no_batch                = 3
                  gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
                  no_authority            = 6

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2
