Minor Thesis in SAP XI....Topic Suggestion??

Question

Hi all,
I will be doing a minor thesis in SAP XI as a part of my Masters Program.
I have also spoken to guide about the topic. He said that I can consider any topic as SAP XI is relatively new. I don't have much hands on SAP XI so far.Just as what generally happens at academic level. I am pursuing my Masters in IS and ERP. This minor thesis will be equivalent to 3 subjects.
As far as my supervisor is concerned about the topic he wants some kind of demonstration solution for whatever topic I choose to do research in. At the end of the day it has to be some hands on practice research which I should be able to demonstrate. I tried to find on internet if any research of this kind has been done on SAP XI. I couldnt find a single paper.Also the time duration is around 4-5 months maximum considering extensions periods as well.
So what I want from you all experts there sitting and reading this is to suggest me a topic where minor thesis can be conducted or research can be done. I especially urge all those people who are experts in this area and have done minor thesis before. Please do let me know about the topic and I will get back to you if I have any doubts. I thought as there has not been enough research been done talking straight to SDN forum will be beneficial.
So please suggest me some topics and just give some background information 1st and then where the research has to be done.
Thanks.
Warm Regards,
Rahul

Dear Rahul,
Thanks for your concern.
Thats good mite, keep going.
keeping the target in mind you have to concentrate on the scenarios, that is scenarios that leads to BPM and Proxies.
for example: I hope you created Message Interfaces for Filt-to-File sceanrio right. concentrate on parameters what you give and try to figure out which parameter is related to BPM in case of message Interface.
see the Idea is to work on BPM not keep doing all R&D on XI server Right.
so practise scenarios which drive to BPM or Proxies.ok
for do some other simple scenarios first like IDOC-File or FIle-IDOC and take FTP as source in File adapter. ok
Next study BPM and Proxies theory.
and Try to relate where exactly you need to concentrate in existing sceanrios, to get working scenarios of BPM and Proxies.
kk
search for
File to File File Content conversion sceanrio
and any File related Sceanrios for Practise.
By the way where you are doing ur M.S
Reward with Points if helpful
