Hi experts;
I'm quite new to SAP XI.
Lately a colleague asked me for the possibilty to communicate with a business partner via EDIFACT.
We are not able to communicate that way, yet.
I already searched the SDN for some information relating this topic and read some blogs and threads.
But most of them was detailed information that doesn´t match our needs.
I need some high level information about EDI integration within SAP XI, to evaluate if we are going for a
solution or not.
What are the different possibilites to enable EDI communication?
What are the provider? (I already SEEBURGER, are there others?)
What do I need for EDI? (only the XI Adpater e.g. Seeburger or do I also need some Hardware or other things?)
Whats about the pricing? (how does it works? messages based?)
What´s SAP Conversion Agent? Is that a possibility to realize a EDI szenario?
I think that are enough questions for the beginning...
As I already mentioned I need some High-level information about the different possibilties and how to evaluate them.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Jochen
