SAP PI (Process Integration) is SAP's middleware product that acts as an enterprise service bus (ESB) and uses a message-oriented approach to facilitate integration across systems. It provides design-time governance features and supports integration through various adapters. Some key uses of SAP PI include suppliers sending invoices to ERP via XML, CRM triggering refunds to customers in ERP via web services, and aggregating production stats messages and sending to ERP. The runtime environment includes components like the integration server, enterprise services repository, and integration builder for routing rules.
Sap Process Integration
- 1. Intro to SAP PI …and SOA in the SAP World
- 2. SOA
- 4. Service-Oriented Architecture Business + Technology! Expose app functionality via services A is for Architecture Usually focus on reusability Governance
- 6. The Business Side of SOA Think Processes, not Departments This is hard! Business Process focus, technology later
- 7. IT comes into play here
- 8. Governance Design-Time ‘Model’ Service Definitions Outside-In Design: 1st: interface first 2nd: implementation Library of artefacts Change control etc. Run-Time Focus on Control Usage metering & billing Enforce policies Service Discovery – UDDI Performance monitoring etc. More info: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/SOA-Governance-Development-Deployment-Runtime
- 10. ESB Enterprise Service Bus “Your SOA Middleware” Facilitates implementation of an SOA at run- time and design-time PI is SAP’s ESB
- 11. Standards… WS-* Soup of standards of various quality WS-I Basic Profile is pretty much all that counts to be honest Too many, complex standards without wide support Take a look yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WS-*
- 12. ES Workplace http://esworkplace.sap.com SAP’s “yellow pages” of standard web services There are 2,600+ service operations Public website, no login required
- 15. SAP PI
- 16. PI = Process Integration SAP’s Middleware product Message-Oriented Middleware + ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) Design-time governance features Many adapters from SAP and third parties Orchestration of different services across systems Monitoring, metering, etc.
- 17. Some Use Cases • Suppliers send Invoices to ERP via XML (B2B) • CRM triggers Refunds to customers in ERP via web service (SOA) • PI aggregates many production stats messages and sends 1 big IDoc to ERP (orchestration) • ERP HR updates Access Control system by writing into its database (A2A)
- 18. NetWeaver WebAS Java & ABAP Enterprise Services Repository Global Data Types, Schemas, processes, mappings, etc. Integration Builder Routing rules, connections Enterprise Services Registry (UDDI v3) Integration Server Execution Environment Runtime Workbench Monitoring, alerting, etc. System Landscape Directory System information, connection information, etc. Design-Time Run-Time Components More on the next slide!

- 21. High-Level Runtime Features • Sync & Async XML-centric integration • Supports the popular WS-* standards • Supports ‘hub & spoke’ and federated deployment • Out-of-the-box integration with SAP systems • Different transformation technologies (drag & drop, XSLT, Java, ABAP) • 1-to-1 and 1-to-n processing, message splits, multi- stage mappings, etc. • Loosely-coupled development object model to facilitate reuse • Stateful orchestration (avoid if possible)
- 22. Future Roadmap Java-Only deployment Robustness & Scalability improvements Tight integration with NetWeaver BPM Better JMS integration
