How is XI related to SOA

Hi to all,
This is Pavan, now a days in job protals, some organisations mentioning SOA knowledge for XI Consultant positions, in job description.
What is SOA, and how SOA related to XI, can we learn individually SOA. If so, help me.

Hi,
Service-oriented architecture expresses a perspective of software architecture that defines the use of loosely coupled software services to support the requirements of the business processes and software users. In an SOA environment, resources on a network are made available as independent services that can be accessed without knowledge of their underlying platform implementation. A service-oriented architecture is not tied to a specific technology and may be implemented using a wide range of interoperability standards including RPC, DCOM, ORB or WSDL.
Please refer these below links

What is ESA (Enterprise Services Architecture) ?
SOA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture
How SOA Releated to XI
You definitely can go ahead with SAP XI if you want to implement an SOA model in the enterprise.
SAP XI can expose the interfaces as webservices. As you rightly mentioned all the 3 listed methods of integrations are not based on SOA as they are proprietary adapters and they cannot expose their services to the enternal world, at least in no straight-forward ways
The advantages and disadvantages of SAP XI which I can list are
Advantages:
1. SOA based integration model.
2. The proxy technology in XI gives the advantage of SOA based integration model in SAP integration scenarios. {which is otherwise is difficult (if not impossible) to achieve}
3. Greater extensibility and all the other advantages featured in SOA
4. The integration model of the enterprise will be the SAP recommended way.
Disadvantages:
1. Deployment and maintanence of the SAP XI infrastructure

File to IDOC:how do i relate inbound idoc with generated idoc in the R/3

hi experts;
can any body tell me how can i relate the IDOC number genrated in the PI with the generated IDoc number in the SAP R/3 system for file to IDOC scenario?

how can i know a particular message (in SAP PI) created a particular idoc in the backend SAP R/3 System.
thanks in advance,

Hi Kumar
at the time of testing you have to note down a time at what ur file got picked up ok
then go to we05
-> give the date on CREATED ON field.
-> then in BASIC TYPE field select your particular IDOC CREMAS05 or whatever, see the TIME field that you have noted down at the time of testing, if that is matching means that is ur latest IDOC you have tested.
-> one more thing, tha last IDOC showing in the list means that is your latest IDOC you have tested.
Hope i have helped you, points plz
Warm Regards

What does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle?

hi,
i want to know what does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle? and also in the scriptcollector if i call this,
preRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadBegin}
postRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadEnd}
how my page will react?

The hx:scriptCollector is part of the IBM Faces Client Framework and has nothing to do with Sun JSF RI.
Lot of the hx components require specific Javascript and those hx components should be placed inside a single hx:scriptCollector which on its turn checks the nested hx components and renders the desired Javascript for it at the end of the tag. Check the HTML source for that Javascript.

What is BOM? Steps Needed. How is it Related to Product Costing

Gurus,
What is BOM?
How is it related to Product Costing and Profitability Analysis and CO?
Technical help and steps would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Points available.

Hi,
BOM (Bill of Material) is a structured list of components (with the object number, quantity and unit of measure) that go into making of a product or an assembly.
Bill of Material can be simple or complex depending upon the structure of the product. And, a collection of BOMs that lets you describe a product or a number of similar products is known as BOM Group.
T code is CK51.
In product costing BOM is used to estimate the cost incurred for the creation of a finished product.
Technically, when u do a product cost run for particular material and if you don't have BOM for the material, the system will give an error.
If useful, assign points.

Manju

How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?

Seems SOA is overwhelming.
I am in a big SAP implementation project and on the wall I see many SOA charts.
However, my daily work NEVER has anything to do with SOA.
How to become ready for SOA as a basis administrator?
Thanks!

Hi,
Read all what is available about SOA on SDN. This is the best to do now.
You can also practice the configuration of a SAP Netweaver system as a producer or consumer of web services.

Add a system status in CS? and how is it related?

Is it possible to add a system status (not the user status) in CS? (for equipments like status "INAC")
If yes, how is the relation made between a GI of movement type 551 (scrapping) and a automatic change of status in transaction IE02.
What I want is in case of a GI of 551 that SAP chooses my
new status (SCRP) in IE02....

How can we relate c and x types in ABAP

hi all,
I would like to know how we could relate c type and x type in ABAP.
In terms of size specification.
Thank you all
prasad.

Hi Prasad,
Consider the following code snippet -
data : char type c,
hexa type x.
Now, both these variables are of 1 byte each. However, they store different kinds of data, so we have -
hexa = '41'.
write : hexa to char.
write: char , hexa.
hexa is going to store the hexadecimal number 41. (the decimal equivalent is 65). The first write statement does the automatic type conversion. so we get the 65th ASCII character in the character variable (which is the capital A).
Hope that helps.

Anand MAndalika.

Look my page for you to understand my problem www.ionio.gr/~aleksgeor

It looks like you have taken a behavior from the Library Palette and hard coded it to suit your needs. This was unnecessary. Instead try the following behaviors attached to buttons that take you between movies - assuming they are in the same directory:
on mouseUp me
gotoNetMovie("@/part1.dcr#test1")
end
on mouseUp me
gotoNetMovie("@/test.dcr#Intro")
end
Also, you should Shockwave-compress your files to DCR (see the Publish Settings) in order to make your movies as small as possible so they download quickly

How the HR related data of BP is stored in SAPCRM Sys??

Hi Guru's,
I' m very new to the CRM.
I want to know <b>How the HR related data of BP is stored in SAPCRM System?? for the project requirement.</b>
Please, can anybody help in this regard ??
Regards,
Arjun

hi,
I don;t entirely understand your question.
But just as in R/3 HR data is stored in infotypes, accesible as always with PPOM, but for CRM, there's also PPOMA_CRM.
If you check the evaluation paths in OOAW, you also see some specific ones for BP. this is also an entity in HR, just as P, O CP etc.
In short, data is stored as relations eventually in table HRP1001
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
