PI for integration of non-SAP to non-SAP

Former Member

Hello experts,

Does anyone have experience with PI for integration of non-SAP to non-SAP systems? Are there performance issues or issues with scalability? Are there examples of companies that have been successful with non-SAP to non-SAP using PI?

I realize that non-SAP to non-SAP is easily accomplished. I am certain that we can handle the development. However, many of our colleagues make statements such as:

"PI is good for SAP to SAP or for SAP to non-SAP, but for non-SAP to non-SAP use something else."

These same people often recommend Websphere MQ.

After much searching, I also see that a similar question has been asked here before in 2006.

I am hoping that over the past 4 yearsI, some of you will have new experience in this area.

Best Regards,

Tom

PI has grown over the couple or years and hence the maturity levels have risen.

I know clients who have introduced PI for their landscape where in they use it for non sap to non sap integration on a major scale.

But having said that, it is beneficial to have PI in a landscape where finally at the end state you will find a SAP system

Shabarish,

That is helpful. Can you explain what you mean by "major scale"? We are expecting transaction volumes up to 2 million messages per day. Many of these messages would process within an 8 hour period of time.

volumetric shouldn't be a problem.

If you have a sized server and some best practices during design things should be fine.

Hi Thomas,

as mentioned by Vijay here, PI has grown up recent days and customers are started using PI for NON-SAP to NON SAP integration as well. We do have very critical NON SAP integrations running in SAP PI. platform and I didn't come across any major issues with the performance. It always depends on each interfcae design and hardware capacity.
