How to Lower TCO

Reduce complexityMinimize the number of connections - using hubsUse only 1 platform to integrate all people, information, and systems

Reduce custom integrationDeliver .NET and J2EE interoperabilityDeliver adaptors for ISV productsDeliver products, not projects!

Increase company performanceIncrease ease of use, scalability and adaptability Increase business process flexibility by using an Enterprise Services Architecture

The Solution – Key Design Elements

Web servicesApplication functions become Web services

Self-contained, modularized functionality that can be described, published, discovered, and accessed through open internet standardsIn addition, all kinds of services that are relevant for „classical EAI and remote communication“ (via adapters)

Open syndication of Web servicesRegardless of location

Web-centric ArchitectureXML and message based infrastructure for open collaboration supporting open standards and leveraging Java, ABAP and .NetCentral Integration Repository and Directory capturing shared Collaboration knowledgeOpen for mySAP.com e-business solutions and 3rd party componentsAll customer touchpoints based on open XML and Java technology

© SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 9

The Solution – Shared Business Semantics

Shared Integration KnowledgeBusiness scenarios, business processes, Web services, interfaces, mappings, routing rules, ... For a common understanding of how collaborative business processes workEnabling distributed executionShared classification and discovery of businesses and services

Support for UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)

Loose coupling via XML messagingAsynchronous communication as far as possibleSynchronous communication where required

EvolutionAllow easy and non-disruptive addition of new services and processesIntegration of existing and new SAP componentsIntegration of existing customer and 3rd party components

Integration Repository – Business Scenarios

Business scenariosProvide overview of business semantics of an integration scenarioShow involved communication partners and their rolesOutline choreography of message exchange Provide central access to all involved design time objects (like interfaces, mappings) Provide input for configuration Support top-down and bottom-up modeling

SAP standard business scenario “Supplier Managed Inventory …”

Integration Repository - Interfaces

Global interfaces and types

populate

Central place to define and catalogglobal and component-specific interfaces

Interfaces assigned to componentsTracks different interface versionsDescriptions of all existing BAPI, IDOCs and RFCs

Includes message types and data types for high reusability

Based on WSDL (Web Service Description Language, W3C)

Outbound and inbound interfacesSynchronous and asynchronous interfacesXML Schema to describe data types

Basis for Proxy generation

populate

Application developerdesigns a new interface

© SAP AG 2003, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name / 14

Proxy Generation – Key Benefits

Separation of Business Application from technical Exchange Infrastructure

Platform and programming language independent principles

Generation of proxies in Java, ABAP and .NET platform

Using interface description (WSDL) of Interfaces in the Integration RepositoryDesign time activity

Proxy connects to (local) Integration Engine

Executes shared integration knowledge (Integration Directory)

Integration Repository - Mappings

Contains preconfigured information for Structural transformation Value mapping

Interface Mappings registermappings for interface pairs

Message Mappings are used to implement mappings

Message Mapping definition in theIntegration Repository

Graphical Mapping EditorImport schema (XSD, XML)Import IR message typesImport archives (zip or jar)Import RFC, IDocWrite own Java functions

Mappings are stored in the Integration Repository, selected for businessprocesses in Configuration Time, executed by the Integration Engine at runtime

Integration Directory

Integration Content provided at Configuration Time

Contains productive integration knowledge at customer site

Can be derived from Integration Repository during installation and configuration
