Hello Experts,

We are in the process of identifying interfaces for our current client. I am looking for some documentation or any specific information that will help me to differentiate between SAP PI interface and ABAP Interface. Basically I want to know what are the advantages of PI interface over ABAP interface. What is better? and why?

Any information would be of great help. Thanks.

PI (versus point to point ABAP) advantages are:

1) Centralized control over data security

2) More effective (centralized) interface failure monitoring and resolution

3) Elimination of redundant development and maintenance costs
