What is the main difference between interfaces and XI,I
think both are cross-applications right?what is the
exclusive difference.

Answer Posted / mahesh

We can say Interfaces is nothing but conversion programs
in BDC.(ABAP).Here the data is stored in the file format
only(Binary or text)...

We can provide interface between two systems(sap to non-
sap)or(sap to sap)using the ALE process. Here the data
stored in the idoc format only. This is also related to the
ABAP.

We can provide the interface between two systems using
the EDI technology also.But it is not related to the
ABAP.Some of the EDI developers are working under this
environment in the Organizations.This technology understand
file format only.

XI/PI ROLL IN THE INTEGRATION PROCESS:
----------------------------------------

While coming to the XI/PI.It is one of the middleware
technology to exchange the data between two systems(sap to
non-sap)or(non-sap to sap) or (sap to sap) or (non-sap to
non-sap).Most probably non-sap to non-sap interfaces work
with TIBCO technology in the Organizations.The
functionality is same while using the XI/PI,ALE and EDI.By
using these we can provide interface between the two
systems.

But using XI technology it understand any format.Assume
we are created one idoc in sapR/3 system.This idoc want to
use Oracle people with their database.Here XI converts the
idoc format to SOAP-XML message (Because XI understand XML
language only) and using mapping program in XI it convert
into the Database message(in SOAP-XML)and using the adapter
configuration it convert into the Database specific format.
This is the process flow for every Interface in the XI.

The main advantage with XI technology is XI server
supports for millions of messages at integration. Cost wise
also its cheeper and relaiable. So now a days number of
clients are willing to implement the XI for integration of
the systems.
