exchange message between XI and External System

[Former Member]

Hello.

I am working on building an application that can exchange message with XI. I went through many documents and forums, but I found that most of them is in the boundary of XI and SAP not XI and external system. I just wonder if there is any simple code available that I can start working? Or any helpful suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks.

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

Looks like you have been mislead by the documents. You could talk to any system from or to XI so long as there is an adapter available in Xi to talk to that external system.

Usually you could talk to external systems using SOAP/File adapters. One could use JDBC to talk to external databases, Java proxies to implement ur custom logic of how you want to talk to external systems.

Hi Kevin,

You can go for a simple Http -> XI -> DB/R/3 Scenario.

Where you need to use a ClientHttp page for testing and you may choose between a Database or any R/3 system to transfer the data.

Please go through this thread for detailed steps in a Http -> XI -> R/3 scenario:

Also you can also go for a simple File -> XI -> DB scenario, where you can pick the data to be inserted in a DB through a file from a Business system and using XI route it to the Database.

For more help, please go through this blog:

If you wish to go for a Http -> XI ->DB scenario, you need to take guidance from both the links.

<b>Happy Learning !!</b>

I hope it helps,

Thanks & Regards,
