EAI with Netweaver / XI

[Former Member]

Hello,

I`m in an evaluation process about the different EAI-Tools for my thesis. Currently I am researching about SAPs solution. So does anybody here has experience with the integration of applications (favoured heterogenous SAP/non-SAP-systems) using Netweaver or XI? It`s hard to find reliable informations about the "real quality" of this product...

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your answer and big sorry for my late response. I wasn`t at work in the last month.

Well I have a list of (general) questions regarding SAP Netweaver and most of all XI. But first please let me know sth. about your experience with these products.

So here are a few questions:

1) How many adapter for integrating enterprise information systems does XI contain? Are they proved of value? What about JCA 1.5 compliance?

2) Does XI make use of a SAP-developed middleware or an established one like MQSeries?

3) What about pricing and licensing of Netweaver and XI? There`s nothing to find on sap.com and SAPs CRM-center doesn`t help much...

4) Which of the following integration technologies does SAP Netweaver implements for integration (additionally to EnterpriseServices): EJB, JCA, other?

I would be very happy about some objective answers.

Thanks a lot!

regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

you can find tons of materials on our Service Marketplace or SDN or our public web.

Personally have four SAP XI 4.0 projects, using AIX, HP-UX, WIN platform, file, EDIFACT, JDBC/Oracle, JDBC/MSSQL, HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP communication and it realy works

Do you have any concrete question?
