Announcement: B2 B ada pters for SAP NetWeaver PI that PI that SAP plans to release
some B2B adapters for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration. It is time for sharing some further details: These B2B adapters will be provided as comprehensive B2B Add-On allowing to run B2B processes as part of an existing SAP NetWeaver Net Weaver PI based integration hub or as dedicated B2B integration hub. It comes with a set of B2B protocol adapters, converter con verter modules and B2B infrastructure infrastru cture services for serving the B2B/EDI integration needs of most industries.
Just FYI: In addition to the B2B add-on SAP intends to deliver an SFTP adapter and adapter module for PGP encryption, too.
Technical architecture The B2B Add-On runs on the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Adapter Framework, based on the Java Connector Ar chitecture chitecture (JCA). Accordingly Accordi ngly its capabilities are a re b eing used for enabling the common message delivery options (best-effort, exactly-once, exactly-once-in-order), an automatic retry mechanism and information logging. The configuration of B2B adapters, monitoring and operations is done in the same way as for other adapters of SAP NetWeaver PI. The B2B Add-On runs fully in the Java stack and supports all valid deployment options of SAP NetWeaver PI (ABAP + Java, Java only).
Product availability and supported releases The B2B Add-On will be released for SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 and SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 at the beginning of Q2 2012 (date is subject to change). A version for SAP Enhancement Package 1 of SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 will follow at a later point in time.
Product components Now, let’s take a closer look at the scope of the B2B Add-On for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration. The B2B Add-On comprises of three building blocks: B2B protocol adapters adapters enabling a standards based exchange of B2B documents with business partners Converter modules for modules for transforming native EDI and plain text formats into XML messages B2B infrastructure services services allowing to manage and process EDI documents properly
B2B protocol adapters The B2B Add-On comes with three adapters supporting specific B2B/EDI messaging protocols: AS2 ada pter OFTP OFT P ada pter X.400 adapter
AS2 adapter AS2 ena bles companies to exchange business documents securel y and reliabl y over the Internet as defined by RFC 4130. AS2 is based on HTTP and S/MIME. Transport Protocols: Protocols : HTTP and HTTPS (w/o proxies) Message level security: security: Message de- and encryption, signing and verification Authentication of partners: Via URL, AS2 sender, AS2 recipient, message subject, message ID, signature and encryption via, X.509 certificates and RSA private keys Acknowledgements: Message disposition notifications synchronous and asynchronous for inbound and outbound communication Character set conversion

Support of dynamic attributes
OFTP adapter OFTP was introduced by the Odette organization to enable secure, reliable electronic message exchange (point-topoint or indirectly via a VAN). OFTP2 is a specification for secure document exchange over the Internet, ISDN and X.25 networks. Supported OFTP versions: OFTP1.x and OFTP2, certified by Odette Transport protocols: TCP/IP, ISDN (X.25) for transport via RCAPI & Funkwerk ISDN Routers Authentication: Via cryptographic handshake or against the Odette trusted services list Encryption: SSL encryption of the transport layer with client authentication. CMS encryption, signing and compression of the messages Acknowledgements: End to end responses (optionally signed) Automatic exchang e of certificates with partners Character set conversion Support of dynamic attributes
X.400 adapter The X.400 adapter is used for VAN based communication using the P7 Protocol to connect to X.400 mailboxes. Transport protocols : TCP/IP (w/o SSL), support of SOCKS5 proxy Authentication: Content-based sender determination as multiple partners and message types might share one mailbox Document content : IA5 text, binary and bilaterally defined body parts, general text extended body parts Acknowledgements: Delivery, non delivery report, submission reports Configurable poll schedule (per weekday, time-dependent) Configurable maximum number of messages per poll Support of dynamic attributes
Converter modules The B2B Add-On contains a set of adapter modules allowing to convert native EDI messages into EDI XML messages and the other way around. In addition to that a plain text module is being provided for handling custom B2B message formats in the same way. This content conversion is beneficial as SAP NetWeaver PI is optimized for processing XML messages. The converter modules can be used together with any transport protocol adapter for inbound and outbound communication. They support all common message type and versions of the following B2B/EDI standards: ANSI X.12 EDIFACT TRADACOM Odette VDA Plain text The conversion rules are maintained in tables. A maintenance tool is being provided allowing you to modify or create conversion rules as needed. Additional features are as follows: Syntax check of inbound B2B/EDI messages (optionally) Ability to gene rate XSD definitions which can be imported i nto the Enterprise Service s Repo sitory (for de signing service interfaces, mappings) Test features for validating EDI messages and generating sample EDI messages Automatic detection of message type and conversion direction at runtime Maintenance of number ranges for automatically inserting continuous counters into outgoing EDI messages
B2B infrastructure services In addition to the technical connectivity, message handling and processing specific B2B/EDI related infrastructure services are being delivered ensuring a secure and professional integration B2B/EDI message exchange with your business partners, such as: Security through key management: Digital certificates and keys are centrally managed in the key store views of the SAP Java application server. EDI numbering: Generation of transmission numbers to insert automatically continuo us counters into outgoing EDI messages Acknowledge ment hand ling: Generation an d ha ndling of acknowl edgements compliant with respe ctive B2B/EDI protocol standard. Archiving of B2B messages: Adapter module extending basic a rchiving functionality which is b uilt i nto the AS2, X.400 and OFTP adapter. In and outgoing messages can be stored on the file system with more information (e.g. IDoc number in filename, archiving per business partner, etc.). B2B mapping functions: A library of specific mapping functions needed for EDI/B2B communication. Besides, some basic mapping templates (EDI <-> IDoc) are being provided for testing purposes. EDI splitting of inbound messages: This service requires a bit more explanation than the ones above: The EDI separator is an adapter is used for splitting inbound Electronic Data Interchanges comprising of multiple messages. Depending on the EDI standard splitting is done on the following segments: EDIFACT – split per service string advice (UNA,) interchange header (UNB), message header (UNH) segment ANSI X.12 – spl it per interchange control he ader (ISA), functional group header (GS), transaction set header (ST) segment VDA – split per start segment

Character set conversion is supported, too. You might wonder how the EDI Splitter Adapter is used and how it works? Let’s take a look at the single steps performed in SAP NetWeaver PI: 1. Electronic Data Interchange comprising of multiple B2B messages received by any technical adapter of SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration 2. Outbound EDI Separator Adapter splitting Electronic Data Interchange into single B2B messages 3. Single B2B messages received by SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration and mapped to corresponding internal message format (IDoc, Enterprise Service) 4. Optionally acknowledg ement generated and sent to business partner 5. IDoc/Enterprise Service sent to receiving application

Hi Katrin, Thanks for sharing this information. A very big relief i s that the SFTP adapter is free. :) After the anno ucement in blog by Piyush , I asked a few questions and few of them got a nswered. A few remains: 1. Are there any new monitoring capabilities provided specifically for EDI communication (like Seeburger Workbench)? 2. Under the Converter Module section, you mentioned about "maintenance tool". Will this tool be capable enough to edit standard mappings based on customer requirements (like Seeburger BIC MD)? Would there be direct deployment option from that tool on PI server? 3. Are these adapters being built by SAP or bought from partners like Seeburger? Regards, Prateek Raj Srivastava Like (0)
Katrin Ahsen Oct 24, 2012 6:09 PM (in response to Prateek Raj Srivastava)
Hello Prateek, at 1.) You can monitor the message exchange with your partners using the standard monitoring solutions. In addition to that we plan to deliver a B2B monitoring solution allowing to monitor B2B processes end-to-end taking into account EDI specifics (e.g. acknowledgements). at 2.) The B2B add-on comes with predefined conversion rules for the most common EDI standards, messages and versions. If there is a need for modifying the standard rules or defining custom ones you can do this using a webbased maintenance solution. So no additional mapping tool will be needed.

Hi Katrin, Thanks for the announcement and clear and in-depth description of the capabilities of this B2B AddOn. Some questions pop up though: 1. What happened to the SAP strategy of letting partners come up with the so-called third-party adapters? Is SAP now killing/cannibalizing its ecosystem? 2. How does this new offering compare to for instance the proven Seeburger product (no, I don't have any shares)? 3. What is the advice for customers? Third-party, B2B Add-On, or Crossgate B2B services? 4. What is the cost of this B2B Add-On? 5. In the past we've used Itemfield/Informatica Conversion Agent for plain text conversion of EDImessages. Will the new functionality replace the need for this separately licensed tool? 6. ... (can't think of more at the moment) Thanks for any clarification you can (and are allowed to) offer on these questions. Best regards, Fred Like (0)
Bhavesh Kantilal Feb 7, 2012 8:08 PM (in response to Fred Verheul)

Additional Question on MonitoringSeeburger offers a Level 3 dashboard that enables you to use Interchange Numbers, ISA ID's, etc to look for messages. Would SAP be offering such a monitoring tool built in or would customers have to use the Payload Search / TREX Option? A demo of this with how monitoring would be done would be great! Like (0)
Katrin Ahsen Oct 24, 2012 6:03 PM (in response to Bhavesh Kantilal)
Hello Bhavesh, an end-to-end monitoring solution allowing to monitor B2B processes is currently being developed. This solution is supposed to become available by mid of next year. Best regards, Katrin Like (0)
Katrin Ahsen Oct 24, 2012 5:57 PM (in response to Fred Verheul)
Hello Bhavesh, At 1.) Our startegy in regards of partners is unaffected. We wel come our partners to deliver adapters and predefined integration for specific implementation use cases. However, there was a strong request from existing customers to deliver a SAP solution for EDI integration. At 2.) On a hi gh l evel the solu tion scope of the B2B Add-On and the Secure Connectivity Add-On is identical with the adapters from SEEBURGER. Howeve r, the SAP solution provides for instance the following benefits: Easier to deploy and configure Deeper integration in PI product (e.g. logging, monitoring, tracing) No additional tooling is needed Superior functionality is supposed to be delivered according to the roadmap (e.g. endto-end message monitoring for B2B) 3.) This finally depends on the customer needs. Third party adapters could be an option if only few B2B capabilities are needed. For determining whether the B2B add-on with SAP NetWeaver PI (on premise solution) or a managed service provided by SAP Information Interchange OnDemand or even a combination of both is the right choice for your B2B integration needs please take a look at this B2B integration strategy paper ( http://scn.sap.com/community/b2b-integration/blog/2012/09/17/b2b-integration-strategyonpremise-ondemand-and-hybrid ). 4.) Please consult your SAP sales representative regarding the costs of the B2B add-on. 5.) The B2B add-on is no successor of SAP Conversion Agent but you can implement some of the CA use cases using the B2B add-on. Best regards, Katrin Like (0)
Aamir Suhail Feb 7, 2012 7:43 AM
Katrin, First of all, i would like to thank you for explaining the B2B offering of SAP PI, this will definitely help us in positioning PI at our clients location. I have one question on the "Separator" Adapter/Module. In the past, i have used the "Splitter" module of SeeBurger, it does pretty much the same task as Separator does but the splitting is done in the
3/20/2015
The new B2B Add-On for SAP NetWeaver Process In... | SCN channel). So if we get an EDI 850 and 855 in a single message, the sender communication channel will split them hence we have to configure a single interface. In case of "Separator", it looks like the splitting happens in the receiver communication channel so we have to configure atleast 2 interfaces. First interface is to split the EDI message and the second one to pick 850 and 855 individually. Please let me know if my understanding is correct or can we use Separator as a module in sender communication channel itself so that we can avoid creating multiple interfaces? Thanks Aamir Like (0)
Katrin Ahsen Oct 24, 2012 5:34 PM (in response to Aamir Suhail)
Hello Aamir, the EDI Separator is no adapter module but an adapter. You need to create an outbound EDI Separator communication channel for splitting the big EDI message into single messages comprising of one business document each. These are then sent to an inbound EDI Separator communication channel for the "real" processing. You can find further details on how to use this adapter at the Leaning Series about the B2B add-on: EDI Separator (see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-28948). Best regards, Katrin Like (0)

Marcos Sola Bayarri Apr 24, 2012 11:11 AM
hi, from my point of view there is no clear motivation for migrating from the Seeburger to the SAP adapters at this time: since both require an additional license, I do not know if there is a cost saving when it comes to EDI invoicing, there are many country specific requirements, for example, EDIFACT digital signatures in several european countries. Is SAP going to address these issues? the SFTP adapter is however a great new feature since it requires no additional license Marcos Solá Like (0)
Katrin Ahsen Oct 24, 2012 5:26 PM (in response to Marcos Sola Bayarri)
Hello Marcos, yes, additional costs apply for using the B2B add-on. As the pricing is different as for SEEBURGER B2B adapters you cannot say per default that one or the other will always cost less. I would be interested in getting to know what kind of digital signatures are missing as of today. Please drop me a private message ideally with further details about the implementation use case.

Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions. One more from my side if you don't mind. Will the XML structures generated from the EDI to XML converter be compatible with what the Seeburger BIC adapter module produces today, thus enabling reuse of already developed Message Mappings in case a customer was deciding to move from Seeburger to the new SAP product?

Katrin Ahsen Oct 30, 2012 1:28 PM (in response to Patrick Weber)
Hello Patrick, no, the XSDs of SEEBURGER B2B adapters and SAP B2B add-on are not compatible. The most obvious difference are the namespaces. The same applies to Message Mappings. Even though some parts of mappings for SEEBURGER B2B adapters or SAP B2B add-on might be identical on field level there are some functional differences (e.g. user defined functions) between both solutions.

The new B2B Add-On for SAP NetWeaver Process In... | SCN Seeburger clearly state in their documentation that "No part of this document may be reproduced, copied, or transmitted in any form or purpose without the express prior written permission of SEEBURGER AG". Nobody on this forum who is not directly affiliated with Seeburger is hence going to e-mail you these documents. If you have a valid license for their product, I'm certain you can easily obtain a new copy by contacting Seeburger support.
Other than that, I can only echo what Dimitri has already recommended to you twice. Have a good weekend, Patrick Like (0)
Stefan Hilpp Dec 13, 2013 4:22 PM (in response to Anand Shankar)
Dear Anand, the Seeburger Workbench is just an Interface to store/display information around the Seeburger EDI Adapters in an ea sy overview . There i s no "specific" Workbench documentation as each part of the Workbench is explained in the relevant documentation of the corresponding adapter that uses parts of the Workbench.
Some examples: - if you are using the Seeburger PGP-Adapter, the Documentation of this Adapter explains how to use the "Key Center" to export, import or create keys that are then stored in the NWA-KEystore and can be used/accessed during encryption/decryption - if you are using the X400P7-Adapter, then the documentation of this Adapter explains how your partner-adresses can be maintained in the "Addressbook" of the Workbench if you use the "MessageSplitter" to split and process all kinds of incoming EDI data/formats, then the corresponding documentation explains how the entries need to be made in the "Message Splitter" part within the Seeburger Workbench ... So the SeeWorkbench is jus tone consolidated area that is used by many adapters and holds a lot of different features which are explained in the corresponding adapter-documentation Hope this clarifies the question Kind Regards Stefan Btw...usually it´s better if such questions are created in an own thread instead of an existing thread which refers to a different topic...
