Synopsis:
Implementing business-to-business scenarios using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration differs greatly from the implementation of other scenarios. This book provides a comprehensive overview of B2B processes and reveals the key elements required for a successful B2B implementation within your organisation using the SAP NetWeaver PI technology platform. In the first part of the book you'll get a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts of SAP NetWeaver PI and its B2B capabilities, like adapters, cross-industry and industry-specific standards, monitoring capabilities, Business Process Management and ccBPM capabilities. Then, you'll benefit from focused implementation guidance as the authors take you through the key phases of an implementation project including development, configuration, security considerations, testing, and more. Readers of this book will develop a clear understanding of the tools and techniques required for successful B2B integration and you'll learn new ways to optimise connectivity with your (global) trading partners by creating a reliable, secure, and low-effort data exchange.
