your XI/PI Implementation?

interfaces with huge volumes. So totally
will use the following systems for
implementation:

DEV

QA

Pre-Prod

Prod

Q15. What is the difference


between the party and the
business service and in which
cases they are used with details?

A Communication party represents a


layer unit that is involved in a cross-
system process (eg. a company). and
Business service represents an abstract,
addressable unit. business services are
used in the cross-company process. for
eg if the parties involved have only
published their interfaces and not their
system landscape or it is partly known.
normally we use business services to
communicate with different systems in
the same company.

Q16. What are the usual project


scenarios on the job (Legacy
systems or ERP)?

It depends on the client's requirement


but you should know about the R3-MDM

projects?

It depends on the client's requirements.

Q18. What is a Global container in


SAP XI?

Container object—> can be only used in


the function it is defined in.

Global container > it can be used and


remain visible across the different
functions.

Global container – in the old days it was


used to store objects in mappings now
we can use global variables instead.

Container Object: This object enables


you to cache the values that you want to
read again when you next call the same
user-defined function.

From SP14 and above avoid Global


Container. Use the Java Section of
Message Mapping to define Global
Variables and to use them in your UDF’s.

Q19. Is it possible to transfer the


data without using IR(repository)?

Yes, it is possible.

Q20. What is the use of IDX2?

IDoc. No other SAP system needs to do

that.

Q21. Which adapter should you


use while integrating with any
SAP system? Explain why?

SAP gives us the following options to


communicate with SAP systems.

1. IDoc Adapter
2. RFC Adapter
3. Proxy

Explanation: If you take a close look at


the adapters specified here, the one
thing that strikes right away is the usage
of proxies. We know that proxy
generation is possible only if your WAS is
>= 6.20. So, that is one parameter that
comes up straight away for the usage of
proxies.

Hence Use Proxies only if the WAS


version is >= 6.20. And the biggest
advantage of the proxy is that it always
bypasses the Adapter Engine and will
directly interact with the application
system and Integration engine – so it will
and should give us a better performance.

Q23. What is the CCMS button in


RWB?

It is an alert or monitoring for the error


messages. To monitor SAP components.
CCMS is SAP Computing Center
Management System. RWB is smoothly

Prod (Pre Production System) also.

Production will use Pre-Prod to test all
interfaces with huge volumes. So totally

implementation:

DEV QA Pre-Prod Prod

You have the option of sending a


message to multiple receivers and
waiting for a response from each of the
receivers. This procedure of sending a

waiting for a response message is also
known as ‘multicast’.

Q32. What are the Types of Node


Functions?

1. Remove Contexts – remove all


higher-level contents of the source
level message in order to map with
the target message field. So you
can get the node contexts removal.
2. Split by value – Insert Context
change for an element split by
value is some as the counterpart of
remove context. Here instead of
delivering the context, you can
insert a context change in the
source value queue.
3. Collapse contexts – Copies first
values of all contexts to one
context empty context are replaced
by an empty string.
4. Copy Value – How many ever
times I occur I am copied just

very frequently in real-time. Let us
take an instance of the material
group, which can occur as many
times as the item node. But since
we are mapping it to the header in
the target nodes just want to copy
the first occurrence of the material
group and map it to the header
node. Copy Value exactly does that.
5. Create if – It will create a target
node or element based on some
condition.
6. Exists – Function to determine
whether a particular source field
exists in an instance to be
processed. If it does it gives true or
else false.
7. Use one as many.
8. Replace value: – Replace the value
I with the value that you desired in
the dialogue for function
properties.
9. iSort – Sorts all values of the
multiply occurring inbound field
within the existing or set context.
