XI Proof of Concept

[Former Member]

Hi Xi Sappers,

I am new to the XI world. I was looking for some documentation on how to conduct a POC (Proof of Concept) for XI. Basically it should encompass a sample landscape, most common business scenarios, ways to test thruput, error messaging, monitoring, security etc.

Any help would be very appreciated and will be a lifesaver.

Thanks in advance.

NG,

The proof of concept by itself tells that, you need to select one of your integration scenario and implement it.

If you want to know more about XI here are some links.

Knowledge of ABAP and JAVA is surely going to help you learn XI.

It is important for you to first understand the Netweaver Stack and the role of Exchange Structure in it. For this go through this link

Once you go through these links and are a bit aware what all XI objects do, you can try a simple "File to File Scenario" which would help you to understand XI objects in a much better manner.

For help on this scenario go through this blog it is in two parts thus I am providing both links below:
