OT: Bizztalk vs. XI

Dear colleagues,
One of our customers is using Bizztalk as primary integration plattform but they are also using XI - but not in all branches. However, my knowledge about Bizztalk is very limited and the official Presnetations say it can be connected to SAP - who wonders. Anyways, Did anyone of you a Bizztalk implementation and could tell me how simple or complex it is to have
- IDoc
- RFC
(or others)
connections from Bizztalk to a SAP system (6.40)?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
BizTalk should be used as the main integration engine between the different system landscapes and ALL external communication, and XI should be used as the integration engine for all data to/from our SAP system landscape. Depending on the integration scenario, we may use both.
BizTalk will not see any SAP systems, only web services exposed by XI or using IBM MQ depending on an async/sync integration scenario.
Please check this:

ECC 6.0 integration with MS Dynamics CRM 2011 on-demand thru PI

Hi Gurus,
sorry in advance if some of my doubts will appear to you experts as stupid....
Scenario: we're on the way to realize the integration between SAP ECC and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online (so...in the cloud) using SAP PI 7.11. In our scenario SAP PI will be the client, consuming webservices provided by MS CRM.
Unfortunately during the PI configuration (following SAP HELP instructions) we're facing the following problems:
1. The system (PI, dual-stack installation) has the parameter 'ssl/pse_provider' set to 'ABAP'. Considering that we would like to use SSL with SOAP adapter, questions are:
- Can we use the ABAP stack to maintain the PSEs, or it's mandatory to do it into the AS Java in order to use SSL with SOAP adapter.
- If so, we need to switch the ssl/pse_provider parameter to JAVA. Could this change create some kind of problems?
For information, currently in transaction STRUST we only have a Local node, neither Server nor Client nodes.
2. We have already installed the SAP Cryptographic Library for SSL but:
- In NWA we can't find ICM_SSL_<instance_ID> view or CLIENT_ICM_SSL_<instance_ID> keystore view into the list of Keystore Views.
- We would like to change the default Profile into RZ10 but we Can't find the profile...
- MS CRM (ws server) give us only a public certificate but do we need a private key too or we have to generate it from SAP?
- We need to know if is possible to use the MS 'LIVEID' authentication with SAP PI or SAP ECC.
- Do we need additional modules for the SOAP adapter(maybe an Axis one in order to use soap protocol 1.2)?
Could you please suggest the right configuration and give us some tips about this kind of integration?
Thanks a lot,
MR

Hi Mauro,
Looking at your background I thought maybe you could help me out wit this integration question.
I'm looking for some feedback on how best to integrate Microsoft Dynamics AX (DAX) with SAP CRM. We have a PI server.
From reading on the net, I see many people are using a middleware product called Scribe or BizzTalk. We already made an investment with SAP PI and we'd like to use it.
Do you have any references for Microsoft DAX integration with SAP CRM via SAP PI/ XI?
Thanks in advance!

SOAP prefixes required

Hi Experts,
I have an SOAP inbound interface comming to XI.
The SOAP envelop has not prefixes defined.
This message was genareted by Microsoft Bizztalk
The message is generating error in mapping.
But, when I run the interface with the same WSDL but using XMLSpy, it's working fine.
The question is, SOAP prefixes are allways required ?
The message genareted by BizzTalk shoud be wrong or XI mapping is wrong ?
Follow bellow the messages example:
MESSAGE FROM BIZZTALK - ERROR !!!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<MTP_Qualidade_Celulose_Seca
MESSAGE FROM XMLSPY - WORKING FINE !!!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<m:MTP_Qualidade_Celulose_Seca
Cheers !
Regis Ferrato

are you able to see the message in XI. If yes can you post the error message from log.

PI and RM-CA

Hi everyone,
I need an opinion, about an architecture choice.
Would you put SAP PI 7.0 between R/3 and RM-CA? And why?
Best regards,
Pedro Pereira

Hi,
I have the same perception that all of you have. With a design like this one, you have one less hop. My personal opinion for this old fashion way to connect systems, and i am not saying it is wrong, it just doesn't fit, because we are talking about a big company that uses several integration systems PI, Tibco, Bizztalk...etc. I think who took this decision, is having some "difficulty" to accept a system in the middle like PI, either because they loose some perception or there is something they do, that is not correct. The reason why, is interesting.
Best regards,
Pedro Pereira
