B2B Adapters

File(PO's) ---> XI ---> Supplier Hub

We are going to use the B2B (CIDX or Ariba) adapter for the above scenario.

1) How does the B2B adapters differs from the standard adapters like HTTP or IDOC adapter?

2) How to Install this B2B Adapters? Who will install this adapters (basis ???)

3) Whether the B2B adapters supply the Mappings along with that or we need to develop it?

4) What are all the other points that I need to keep it in mind when I work with B2B Adapters?

Thanks.

>>>If you have Basis then you can ask their assistence here.

<i>3) Whether the B2B adapters supply the Mappings along with that or we need to develop it?</i>

>>Yes, I am not sure till what extent. But they are providing some of the mappings.

CIDX already installed

some of them (like from seeburger) also give you predefined mappings

>>>>1) How does the B2B adapters differs from the standard adapters like HTTP or IDOC adapter?

their config is pretty much the same as with standard

as they are build using the same technology
