How is the licesning of XI implementation done?

[Former Member]

I heard that SAP XI licesning is based on the message volume.

Does any body have any info or pointers on this?

Hi,

Sorry for my previous answer

XI licensing is based upon 'Engine' and 'User', not by data volume.

It all depends.....there is tool for sizing in SAP....based on that we can check if XI can handle the load...if not go with 2 servers.....

It does depend on Message volume...when there is lots of load....but normally i never heard any scenario where there were 2 servers....

SAP People will come to your place and analyze the req and give you the solution...........

Coming to licensing part, its not a big deal...

if you have the useroid of market place,u can do the sizing by urself....

The above two answers do not really relate to my question at all.

I am not asking about a server.

If you do not understand the question , please leave it alone.

Please do not post unrelated answers as it is going to mislead the actual question as it is evident from above answers.

Moderators, please delete the above two answers.

Thanks,

hi

Yes, SAP XI licesning is based on the message volume and not based on the no of user/processors.

The exact details won't be in sap portals, will have to contact your regional sap office for the cost details and other negotiable parameters.

Hi

If you need fullfledged server then you should buy the XI server, but it is very expensive.

Less features are enouth to you then you can buy the PCK, it some less expensive as compared to the XI.
