SAP XI and SAP BI integration scenarios (2)

Components

SAP XI SAP BW SAP POS DM Store Systems
data for controlling of retail processes and by understanding customer behavior in a better way.
SAP XI as single point to collect POS sales information
as mass data from (3thd party) store systems via an open industry specific interface (ARTS/IX-Retail2 compliant).
Using SAP XI as additional source for SAP BW improved by Retail POS Data Management to
ensure better data quality

SAP XI and SAP BI integration scenarios Benefits

Business Content Scenario SRM
Why using XI in this scenario
XI is used to distribute transaction data between many systems XI is also used for Master data distribution For analysis the data is also distributed to BW via XI Therefore extracting the data to BW from many source systems is not
required
Business Content Scenario Retail

Why using XI in this scenario
A push of message type data to BW is required XI supports quality of service Exactly once in order in push scenarios Stores deliver the data according to ARTS/IX-Retail XI supports ARTS/IX-Retail In case the stores deliver the data as flat files they can be easily
transfered to XML format via XI
BW and XI
The integration of BW and XI offers additional possibilities
Reducing point to point connections in complex landscapes Exactly Once in Order using proxies for push scenarios All sender formats (such as different XML flavours, flat files) can be mapped in XI
Scheduled data loads (BW functionality) and event triggered data transfer (XI functionality) complement each other.

FAQs
Will extraction from SAP applications be replaced by XI?
There are no plans to replace the existing extractors XI technology complements the options for SAP applications to provide the optimum way of data replication to BW
Currently XI supports push-scenarios. Are there plans to enhance XI with the capability to actively load data (pull, scheduled)?
Currently there are no concrete plans to build this functionality. File-, JMS-, JDBC-Adapter support a polling mode
Will data distribution from BW via Open Hub be replaced by XI?

There are no plans to replace this functionality.
Today a Configuration Guide describes in detail how to integrate BW and XI. Will there be major changes to this procedure?
Today these steps need to be performed manually as introduced in this presentation. Future plans are to offer automated configuration.
