What is Pre delivered content in SAP XI context ??

1. What is Pre delivered content in SAP XI .Can some one clearly explain this.
2. Why should a customer move from an existing middleware (webMethods) to SAP XI.What cud be the strong reasons possible.
Regards,
Nandini

Hi,
Customer move from an existing middleware (webMethods) to SAP XI, because of the features of the XI.
Check this link, then you can know the all middleware features, here you can compare the features
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_business_integration_software
XI is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows defining adapters to non-XML protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target format.
XI comes handy particularly incase of SAP - Non SAP interfaces where you can import standard integration content. Also XI has got sophisticated open standard adapter framework which is very easy to implement and custom logic can be implemented using Adapter module programming.
Advantages
u2022Monitoring is better than any other middleware product. It offers exhaustive monitoring features like message, performance, component monitoring etc, all of which can be used to track and rectify the errors. It follows a hub and spoke model.
u2022When you need to integrate with an SAP system XI has an advantage in supporting various SAP components and so on.
u2022Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules for business purposes.
u2022Mappings and adapters are good as comparable with any other middleware product.
u2022Synchronous & Asynchronous communication is possible.

  • Interoperable and pre-delivered content

    Hi,
    Can any body explain me what is Interoperable and pre-delivered content.
    Regards,
    Prem.S

    Pre Delivered content or rather industry content is a factor that is one of the advantages of XI. In this case, for example industry standards providers like Rosettanet, Seeburger and even in case of SAP's SRM etc comes with content for XI. usually they are preconfigured interfaces, message types, mappings , integration scenarios etc for XI.

  • Pre delivered Content

    Hi All,
    I have a doubt regarding the pre-defined contents in IR.
    SAP has given us some data types, message types and interfaces in IR.
    How can we use them? For example the predefined inbound has a proxy defined in appln. server. I need to use that proxy. Is it possible?
    Please explain this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jai Shankar.

    Hi Jai,
    <i>The interfaces defined in these components have also their corresponding proxies in appln. server. Now I need to use one of those proxies. Is it possible?</i>
    You mean the SAP BASIS component ? Yes, you can create Proxies for them The how to guide for Java Proxies actually uses this SAP BASIS Flight Booking as an example to show how proxies can be used in XI.

  • GRC PC 2.5 - pre delivered data

    Hi All,
    We installed the PC 2.5 and activated all the delivered BC-Sets in the PC - we want to ensure that we have all the delivered data.
    We can now see in the system the pre-defined rules in the:
    Evaluation Set-Up -> Automated Test Rules -> Rule
    and also the pre-defined rule scripts and criteria in the:
    Evaluation Set-Up -> Automated Test Customizing -> Rule Script / Rule Criteria
    According to the documentation, the PC comes with 70 sample controls and 102 rules.
    The documentation terminology is not so clear regarding the pre-delivered content -
    Is it only rules and scripts we saw or is there something more?
    Thanks
    Yudit

    Hi Yudit
    Even though you see the rule and rule scripts in PC 2.5 system,in order to use them you need to install RTA (Real time agents) in backend ERP system,where you will perform the automated control test.
    You also need to connect PC2.5 and ERP system using a RFC connection
    RTA packages are available for the following different type of ERP versions
    ERP 4.6 C
    4.7
    2004
    ECC 6.0
    RTAs are the real ABAP programs(pre delivered Rule Scripts) which runs in the ERP system and sends back the result to the PC 2.5 system
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks

  • SAP third party Pre-delivered SLD Content - Product and SWCVs

    I have started this thread on LinkedIn and I wanted it to be viewed by all of you for your valuable suggestions and thus from SAP too... The thread is [here|http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers? viewQuestionAndAnswers=&discussionID=20482912&gid=81282&commentID=16700717&trk=view_disc ]

    Here is the thread content until now -
    Hi All,
    I have been working on integration of our product with SAP. We wanted our SLD objects for the product and the swcs to be delivered as part of SAP's pre-delivered SLD content, so that the client could simply import our design objects in to their PI landscape (Similar to how SAP provides PI content on service market place. We do have partnership with SAP and this product integration was not yet certified by SAP. However, they SAP agreed to supply our product and SWCs as part of the standard SAP CIM modal content).
    How ever, even when we gave our SLD export to SAP, when the latest CIM modal for SLD from SAP got released, we were surprised to see that, our product and SWCvs are created with the vendor name "sap.com". This absolutely makes our product and swcvs unusable as we would not be able to look at them in the SPROXY on application systems. This was the same case with an older client that I worked with too..!! Any one had similar experience with this? Shouldn't SAP
    be creating them with vendor as "<vendor>.com"? At least, our product is not owned by SAP..!!
    We all know that, if sap.com is the vendor for SLD objects, only SAP could provide the proxy implementations through an SAP support pack.
    Could someone from SAP PI Techies understand my point and care to respond?

    Understanding message flow in XI
    /people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/05/25/understanding-message-flow-in-xi
    what are the different technical systems are there in the landscape.
    The technical system describes the physical view and the business system the logical view, respectively.
    So in most cases you must define both but while a technical system can only link to one WEB AS, more than one business systems can link to the same technical system.
    Tech System - Holds the tech details like installation no, db instance.
    Technical Systems are of following types:
    Technical systems are application systems that are installed in your system landscape. An example of an application system is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) server. In the SLD, there are five types of technical systems:
    1.)WEBas java,
    2.)Standalone JAVA
    3.)Third party
    4.)Web as ABAP
    1) Web AS Java
    Web AS Java systems consist of one or more instances and each instance is installed on a separate host. An instance itself consists of cluster nodes that can communicate with each other.
    2.)Standalone Java
    Standalone Java technical systems are standalone Java applications that are installed in a computer system from an administration perspective. They can also be installed as an operating system service or as a daemon
    Web AS java belongs to the NetWeaver Comes with both ABAP and Java, Standalone instread comes separate from the netWeaver.
    3) Third party technical sytem
    It can be any of the technical sytem. let us say if you want to send a file to R/3, here the file reside in your local system. for that you can define your local system as a third party technical system.
    All those machines that comes under non sap, belongs to the third party.
    4.) Web AS ABAP technical systems, ranging from any SAP system to an APO server or CRM server, are based on the same Basis Component (BC), which includes the ABAP interpreter, ABAP Dictionary, ABAP Workbench, and so on. A dedicated database, which stores most of the data of the BC and the application components, is associated with the system.
    Also refer : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/8fa93e08503614e10000000a114084/content.htm
    What is your file size and how many records are there in your file ? which idoc your using ?
    The file size that your server can process depends on various different aspects like the server hardware sizing, total available memory form both Java and ABAP side, the kind of interfacing you are trying to achieve, if your interface needs a complex mapping etc. Although there is no correct picture on theoritical Max file size, it will depend on the specifics of your landscape.
    I personally feel that, processing a 2 GB file is not a good idea as the message when converted to XML its size multiplies atleast 3.5 times to 7 times, which gets persisted at various stages of logging that the system does. You may want to consider other options like splitting the messages into smaller chunks, having no or minimal mapping and configuring the recordset per message property.
    Personally in one of the implementations we have had to process a Max file size of 350MB which gets processed once a month and that too during non-peak working hours.

    example: if it is purchase order then the idoc would be orders.orders05
    if it is invoice,idoc would be invoic.invoic02.

  • What is the relationship between the SAP BC and XI?

    Hi Friends,
    What is the relationship between the SAP BC and XI?
    Regards
    Sam

    Hi Samuel Melvin ,
    The SAP BC is basically WebMethod's product supplied free of charge to SAP customers.
    SAP XI is a purchased product from SAP that can be used to integrate multiple systems, you would need to contact your SAP Account rep to discuss licensing issues. You cannot download it for free from sapnet.
    It is probably more relevant to discuss the comparison between these solutions based on a specific scenario, but here are some basic differences. Obviously, the foremost one being that the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) belongs to the SAP Netweaver technology suite, whereas Business Connector although bundled by SAP is really a Integration tool provided by Web Methods.
    Being a Netweaver solution the SAP XI is central in design and configuration. The SAP XI is really integrated as a required solution for some of new mySAP solutions like SRM. For example, the mySAP SRM business scenario for Supplier Self Services in EBP requires the implementation of SAP XI, the Business connector cannot be utilized to replace this scenario. Although the SAP Business Connector can still be utilized with SRM for all XML based communication. Both mySAP SRM and XI runs natively on the SAP WebAS Server.
    The Business Connector is a point to point solution that provides messaging and routing. Currently a number of organizations using the Business Connector utilize it to communicate between its partners using XML based messaging. This can be achieved using SAP XI as well, but SAP's strategy is to utilize XI as a central hub for messaging, routing, and communication between all SAP, non-SAP systems as well as partners. As SAP XI is a relatively new solution, organizations that are looking for communicating with their partners to exchange XML based documents or other point-to-point scenarios can still utilize SAP Business connector.
    Initially, when SAP announced the SAP XI, there was a notion that SAP Business Connector would be phased out and SAP XI would be the solution utilized hereon. But SAP will continue to support the Business Connector, the SAP Exchange Infrastructure will remain as the SAP's strategic integration solution. All new and or updated SAP solutions will make use of the XI for all process-centric, message based integration. As upgrades are scheduled and new solutions deployed we'll see the mandated need for XI but currently the only solution that natively requires SAP XI is mySAP SRM 2.0.
    It will be interesting to see how organizations that already utilize SAP Business Connector warm up the SAP XI idea. But for the most part they will not have a choice really, as the new mySAP products are going to natively require the use of SAP XI for all process-centric integration between the different SAP solutions. But there is no reason why organizations cannot continue to utilize the SAP Business Connector for all point-to-point solutions already deployed with possibly document exchange and partner integration. Hope this helps.

  • PI 730 - XI Content for SAP BASIS

    Dear Support,
    When I searched the SAP Marketplace for "PI 730 - XI Content for SAP BASIS", I have found the files which has .SCA extension instead of .tpz or .zip file extension.
    Am I looking into a wrong directry if so, could you please help me in pointing to the correct directory?
    Otherwise, could you please let me know the way to Import the Design Objects onto PI 730 system?
    Thank you,
    Nikee

    Hello
    The 7.30 SAP Basis content is delivered as a *sca file. You need to extract the *tpz file from this and import into the ESR in the normal manner. See the kba #1637955 PI ESR Content for SAP BASIS 7.30 for further details.
    P.S. point 6 of the previous post is incorrect - "Under this you can get XI CONTENT PI_BASIS". It is available under XI CONTENT SAP_BASIS (not PI_BASIS)

  • When is existing BW3.5 content being converted to BI 7.0 content by SAP

    Hello ,
    We have a fresh installation of BI 2004S at our client.
    I was hoping to request if there is any information regarding conversion of the existing SAP BW 3.5 content by SAP , to migrated data sources, transformations in place of existing communication structure /update rules and porting of routines where applicable.
    The reason I am asking this because the client has every know module on the SAP sky and its a huge task to manually migrate the  master data sources for attribues and text , migrate transaction extractors, rebuild all transformations and routines.
    I would really appreciate any help , white papers and/or inputs on the same.
    Tx,
    Madhu

    if its a fresh installation, I dont see any good reason why you want to stick to 3.x dataflow. doing that you would be doubling ur costs and resources just for going ahead with 3.x and later having to migrate it to 7.0 when SAP decides to pull plug on 3.x support. As of now with SP 13, i would say the system is pretty stable and less number of bugs compared to what is was in the old days of SP9

  • How to find standard contents in SAP BW?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to find all SAP Provided standard contents in SAP BW?  For example, let's assume that I'm working on shipment - delivery requirement.  How do I find list of all standard datasources related to this, it's cube/DSO in sap BW?  Here, I get the datasource, 2lis_08trtlp for shipment - delivery.  Like wise, what are all the datasources associated to it?
    Kindly suggest on How do I find list of all standard datasources related to this, it's cube/DSO in sap BW? which will be definitely useful for any beginners who are doing development if they get such technical documents.
    Regards,
    Antony Jerald.

    Hello Antony,
    For finding out cubes/DSOs related to delivery, shipment etc, you can follow the following steps:
         - go to RSA1
         - go to BI Content from the left pane (where you find Modelling)
         - Now you should see "All objects according to type" in the middle pane, you can now select DSO/Cube according to your requirement.
         - Select Objects and do a ' 0SD* ' search.
    you should find standad SD infoproviders using this approach, as 0SD is the standard naming convention for Sales & Distribution.
    Infocube           0LES_C13 : Delivery data of shipment stages
    DSO                  0CDS_DS05: Deliveries
                               0CDS_DS07 : Assignment of Deliveries to Requirements
    the above infoproviders should help!
    Hope this helps!
