RNIF 1.1 support

Does XI support RNIFv1.1??

The business packages provided with XI integration content contain PIPS with version 1.00, 1.01, 2.02 etc..But the RNIF adapter supports 2.0 version..Is this adapter backwardly compatible with v1.1.

I am unable to find this info..I need to use this adapter in a scenario containing a mix and match of 1.1 and 2.0 content..

Hi Sriram,

RNIF1.1 is currently not supported by XI3.0. My understanding is that the business package is done by one group and it contains PIPs that are of older version, but RNIF adapter is developed by a different group. They are not synchronized.

I remember there was a discussion about whether to provide RNIF 1.1 support, but since it has not brought up enough interest that makes SAP to put efforts into it.

What could be the implication of this..My customer has need for both 1.1 and 2.0 support in RNIF adapter, as there is a mix of both in his environment.

Any ideas??

Hello Sriram-

SAP has intentions of providing RNIF 1.1 adpater support. The Business Package for RosettaNet contains PIP versions that will be compatible with either SAP RNIF 2.0 or 1.1 adapter. The PIP message versions are independent of the RNIF protocol versions.

Who is your customer and which pips are being implemented?

Sriram,

version 2.0 is the default version identifier in XI, but i think also supports version 1.0(though you might have to select it manually), when used during configuration. hope that helps.
