XI and .NET SAP Connector

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm a .NET SAP Connector user, and I'm wondering, is there any direct way to make .NET SAP Connector to communicate with XI and the other way around?

Thanks,

Hello,

Do you have any client references for the following scenario:

FRONT: NET Application

MIDDLEWARE: SAP XI with Web Services (without BizTalk)

BACK: SAP R/3 4.6

Cheers,

Olá Luís Pinho

À falta de outra forma de contacto, resolvi vir por este meio solicitar o vosso contacto (e-mail).Isto porque partilhamos uma área de interesse (explorar o .Net Connector). O meu e-mail é lisbonpt@netcabo.pt

Um abraço,

Hi Nuno,

.NET Connector is a connector only to call application server SAP from .NET environment via RFC protocol.

From SAP Web AS 6.40 (or 6.20 with some restrictions) you can use open standard - web services (i.e. SOAP protocol). Why to use proprietary SAP communication protocol if we have common standard SOAP?

SAP XI is a different type of application: EAI aplication or message broker supporting wide list of communication protocols and message formats. The best way to connect SAP XI to .NET environment is to use web services again.
