Need XI Learning material

Hi,
Can any one provide me step by step procedure to learn XI.
Thank you
With regards
Satish

Hi Satish,
First i would like to welcome to the fascinating world of XI. If it’s just that you wanted to know more about sap xi....then the information below should definitely help you.
The best way to learn XI would be to make the maximum use of XI from its forums, weblogs, presentations, etc in SDN.
First I thought I will just give u the basic steps involved in doing any scenario in XI. This is very essential for a beginner.
First of all you would need to define your product, software component, business system and configure the technical landscape in the sld.
You then go on to create the objects in the repository, you import your software component here and then begin your design steps. To import your RFCs n Idocs if you require any before proceeding.
Then under the name space which you want, you go on to define your data types, message types and message interfaces.
Then you do your message mappings where you specify your source and target message types and the relation between them, then you do your interface mapping. If you are using a BPM, you do the integration process.
Once you have this done, you will have to move to the directory, here is where you define how you use the objects and how you configure them to work as a scenario.
You assign your business system to the configuration scenario which you have created, and create the communication channels. Then you go on to configure the receiver determination, interface determination, and the sender and receiver agreements. Once you’re done you will have make sure you activate your objects. The exact parameters steps depend on what kind of scenario you are implementing.
You can use sxmb moni or the runtime workbench to monitor the entire scenario which you have done.
Also I would suggest this link on SAP help for any info that you want on XI,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Further, this thread deals with everything that is needed for a starter on XI. Do check them out,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
/message/527697#527697 [original link is broken]
And after you are done with the documentation probably you can go through this scenario,
JDBC Receiver: exact SQL statement
Also check the following threads which might help you a little more,
Learning XI
XI 3.0 Training
Now lets see the installation of SAP XI,
Follow these steps while installing XI:
1. Windows server or advanced server with latest service patch.
2. IE 6.0 with latest service patch
3. Install Microsoft office and winzip, acrobat
4. Install JDK with version 1.4.2_03 or above with the corresponding JVM
5. Install the SAP GUI 6.20
6. Make sure that you have hard disk space of 10 GB in C drive and 50 GB in the installation drive.
7. Make sure the virtual memory is between 512 and 1594 or above for the installation drive.
8. Copy the dumps of following DVDs into the installation drive.
• Installation Master DVD
• Installation Export
• Additonal Components for SAP BW/SAP XI,SAP MI,SAP KW
• SAP Web As Java
9. Start the installation from the DVD dump Installation Master DVD.
10. When installing the ABAP Database the SID of the oracle default database should be different the ABAP database SID.
U can go through the Installtion Guides for Installing XI from http://service.sap.com/instguides (SR1 installation)
u can also refer to service.sap.com/platforms to see the available platform on which XI can be installed. ( Windows/linux/UNIX)
or you can even go through this weblog which clearly talks to you about XI installation
<a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/05/31/my-experience-with-xi-installation-on-fedora-core-3-linux installation</a>
In addition to this installation guide you also need to download the XI configuration guide which is very useful for technical configurations of various adapters and XI system.
At the same place you will also get the XI configuration guide e.g XI30ConfigGuideSPS11.pdf.
U can also download SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0 SR1 Installtion Guide from the articles scetion.
In simple words regarding learning XI, there is an abundance of information on SDN and help.sap.com…. So I think it will be better for you to search information there rather than me just providing you links….which will just go on and on and on….so I felt it is better for you to go and search so that not only you get information on SAP XI but also explore SDN in its real sense.
Regards,
Abhy

  • NEED Good Learning Material

    OK here is the deal. I need to learn as much content networking as possible between now and the end of September. How did you everyone here learn? I need reference material. Any ideas or links welcome. Thanks in advance for the help.
    bc

    First, you need to know TCP/IP in details.
    Any books, RFC on the subject is good.
    Then, you need to know the mechanism of HTTP and other protocols like DNS and FTP.
    Once you know this, you can read the CSS and/or CSM configuration material that you will find on this website.
    The important things to remember from these manuals are the concepts and not the commands.
    Like - what is a sticky connection ? On what parameter can you do stickyness ?
    What type of loadbalancing are available ?
    What's the difference between them ?
    What's the advantage of one compare to another ?
    By reading the configuration manual, you will see all these concepts. Try to understand them and ask yourself why we do it like this and not another way (if you know very well the protocols involved like TCP and HTTP, you should know why).
    I hope this will help.
    Gilles.

    hi
    Object Oriented prg
    A programming technique in which solutions reflect real world objects
    What are objects ?
    An object is an instantiation of a class. E.g. If “Animal” is a class, A cat
    can be an object of that class .
    With respect to code, Object refers to a set of services ( methods /
    attributes ) and can contain data
    What are classes ?
    A class defines the properties of an object. A class can be instantiated
    as many number of times
    Advantages of Object Orientated approach
    Easier to understand when the system is complex
    Easy to make changes
    Encapsulation - Can restrict the visibility of the data ( Restrict the access to the data )
    Polymorphism - Identically named methods behave differently in different classes
    Inheritance - You can use an existing class to define a new class
    Polymorphism and inheritance lead to code reuse

  • Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

    Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
    Please email [email protected]

    There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
    latest version is oracle 10g
    but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
    because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
    Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
    you need a oracle 9i dba certification
    or may be 9i developer certification
    it up to you
    but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
    you will learn this from oracle university
    excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
    http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
    Or u will read your self
    all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
    better you will read first this
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm
    download oracle software
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
    My need: to find a job that was similar to previous ones that I had. My previous job function was to develop database applications using Visual FoxPro,
    in oracle ,oracle developer is used for such type of application
    its front end tool
    gui tool like v.foxpro
    and oracle database is backend tool for store information
    i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
    in oracle
    oracle developer is front end(old name is D2k)
    oracle database is back end
    i am also a developer but now find job as dba.
    i am always intersting in DBA . but in IT market
    there is no entry level DBA job and
    its very difficult to go for dba job without experience.
    so my suggestion is
    read your self
    install oracle on u r pc read docs from otn.oracle.com web site
    and find a job on oracle platform
    BEST OF LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WILL GET A BETTER JOB SOON
    hope it will help you

  • Need to learn data transfer

    hi to abapers,
                        need to learn learn data transfer bdc,bi,ct,lsmw .plz send me links.or send it to my mail [email protected]  material will be rewarded

    Hi,
        BDC:
    Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
    Features :
    BDC is an automatic procedure.
    This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
    BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
    BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
    Types of BDC :
    CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
    CALL TRANSACTION
    BATCH INPUT METHOD:
    This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
    Features:
    Asynchronous processing.
    Synchronous Processing in database update.
    Transfer data for more than one transaction.
    Batch input processing log will be generated.
    During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
    CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
    This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
    Features:
    Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
    Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
    Transfer data for a single transaction.
    Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
    No batch input processing log is generated.
    For BDC:

    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.

  • Hello, i am new to the mac and i need to learn how to re image using an external hard drive

    Hello, i am new, like baby fresh new,...lol, to the mac and i need to learn how to re-image using an external hard drive.

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.

  • New To Mac's Need to learn how to use it!

    I recently have become the owner of a Power Mac G4. I am a longtime pc user and now I need to learn as much about the Mac. Where can I get good clear complete manuals or books on just how the Mac works and how do you move around in one, such as looking at directories, creating the same, installing software programs, etc.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Mac-dom!
    Here's another great Apple page with lots of instructional videos if, like me, you are a visual learner:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/
    When you start thinking about hardware questions, consider posting in the other G4 forum here. You model number indicates you have a G4 "Quicksliver," one generation older than the ones covered in this forum. The forum labeling is so cryptic that is hard to figure out exactly where to post G4 questions. Either place will work, frankly.
    Updating your equipment line in your profile will make it faster to get help. A lot of people don't know an M8493 is a Quicksilver, so use the name instead. Also do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu to find your processor speed and amount of RAM installed. Adding that to the equipment line helps everyone.
    I hope you enjoy the Apple forums as much as I do. I've learned a lot here!

  • Need to learn how to create a slideshow in Flash

    Hello All,
    I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link:
    http://www.esppromo.com/index.asp
    Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
    Since I've looked online, but can't find any tutorials for doing this in Flash Professional, I think I'll pick up a book on Flash. There are some online tutorials that are close but nothing that is exactly what I'm looking for.
    I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular book that covers creating this type of slide show with the links and controls exactly as I need it to be. I see these types of slide shows on a lot of sites now, so I'm hoping that maybe someone else on this forum has had to learn how to do this and can recommend a book they used?
    I was looking at Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and it looked like it may be what I'm after, but I am rather cautious, as I don't want to end up with instructions that are close to what I am looking for, but not quite right.
    Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst. Since it's not an option for me to buy more software at this time, I've decided to learn how to do this in Flash Professional.
    I really want to learn how to do this. I expect to go on and create more using Flash, but for now I just REALLY need to figure this slide show out.
    If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    William

    Edit:
    i'm sorry. it is a huge work to type this and will be confusing as hell. i'm already up to 1 full word page of explanation. Though i am able to do it, explaning it in full lengh is ... well.. very hard. Way harder than it is to make your flash itself.
    I can however point you to some element you should read about how to make them:
    - How to use timeline in flash cs4
    - how to create a button in flash cs4
    - How to make "CLASSIC TWEEN" in flash cs4
    - How to use ActionScript 2 ( AS2) basic command like : GetUrl, Gotoandplay, Stop and how to put those script in the right location. ( AS2 allow you to put script directly on the button itself. however it is best to put it in the Action Layer that you will have to build in the timeline.
    - How to import thing in library.
    keep in mind that what you want to make is mostly a Logic probleme...
    - Image 1 click = GetURL X,
    - After Y time, Switch image 1 to image 2 with animation. Do the same for the button.
    - If you click on button 1 while being on image 3, you have to set all the reverse animation in the timeline, and use a lot of Gotoandplay.
    Hope this help you a little.
    I'm sorry. i really wanted to help you do it, but it is just a monstruous job to write all this.

  • I need to learn how to use all about java & mysql...help me!

    I have a situation here, I need to learn how to use java with mysql
    . Can I connect to a MYSQL DB with servlets?
    how can I build an e-mail server with java (no matter how difficult)
    please, I need help, and I really apreciate your help.
    thank you very much!!

    I have a situation here, I need to learn how to use
    java with mysql
    . Can I connect to a MYSQL DB with servlets?Yes... documentation to help you connect to any database can be found at http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc. To connect to MySQL, you'll need drivers (sourceforge.net), and the specific connection URL for those drivers will be included in the documentation.
    how can I build an e-mail server with java (no matter
    how difficult)If you're fairly new to JSP/Servlets, you may be in over your head here, since an email server is no easy application to code. Here's a link to the source code for the JAMES project... Apache's Java email server... maybe you can find some useful information there...
