Event processing

To configure the adapter for SAP XI for event processing, use the following procedure:

  1. Generate a WSDL file from the SAP XI system by doing the following:
    1. Log on to the SAPXI (2.0) system GUI.
    2. Select Repository(Design).
    3. Import the object (for example BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST ).
    4. Double-click the imported object (for example, BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST).
    5. Select Tools->Export WSDL and save the WSDL file in your local file system.
  2. Generate business objects using BIA_XIWSDLUtil tool and then the SAP XI ODA. These are delivered with the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SAP XI. For more information, see Enabling collaborations for request processing.
  3. Configure the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SAP XI:
    1. Using Connector Configurator, add support for the generated objects.
    2. Define business processes (collaborations) and mapping if necessary.
    3. For testing, configure the test connector to imitate end applications.
  4. Configure SAP XI:
    1. Define a software component for the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SAP XI in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).
    2. Configure the HTTP(S) protocol handlers and listeners using Connector Configurator
    3. Maintain the directory.
  5. Configure the SAP application to trigger IDoc or other types of messages.
