Hi all,
I am completely new to XI.
The scenario which needs to implemented is as follows ->
We have a .net Application which needs to push and pull some data in SAP R/3 using XI.
I have an option of using either a file adapter or a SOAP adapter in XI to achieve this.
I would like to know what are the pros and cons of both of these approaches ?
Also if ankyone could describe me the steps that are to be performed in XI and also in the .net Application to achieve this, I would be gratefull.
Also please point me to some How to Guides where I can find a solution to my problems.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
If you are going for simple scenarios then you can go for File Adapter -> XI -> R/3.But if you want it to be a web service then go for SOAP Adapter.
Now here you are communicating with XI through .net then you should definitely go for SOAP Adapter. Your R/3 part can be handled by either RFC or IDOC. You can also go for proxies there.
Create a simple SOAP -> XI -> R/3 scenario and make the wsdl file of it. Call this wsdl file through a .net page.
For information on SOAP Adapter. Have a look at this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/fdca3f01f33e1ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I think there is no How to Guides available(I have searched for it extensively, if u find then do let me know).Start creating your scenarios and there is this forum for your queries.

Thanks a lot Varun and Suraj for the help.
I will go through the links that you have mentioned and get back if face any problems.
Also Varun you have mentioned about trying a simple file to file scenario.Does this mean trying to do the following, pls correct me if I am wrong
Get input from a flat file -> Do soem processing in XI->Put the output in another flat file.
Can you please let me know the steps as to how this can be done, or if there is any document on this , it will be great.

Hi Vivek
As you are a newbie it is important for you to first understand the Netweaver Stack and the role of Exchange Structure in it. For this go through this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e1/8e51341a06084de10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
Now start reading this link to understand the architecture of XI
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Once you go through these links and are a bit aware what all XI objects do, you can try a simple "File to File Scenario" which would help you to understand XI objects in a much better manner.
Or you can read about SOAP adapter through this Blog by Mr. Sudhir Porumamilla:
Sending a Simple SOAP envelope to XI via HTTP using ASP
