What users can expect from this paper

This document provides both an introduction to the key concepts of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) and an overview of the tasks and tools that come into play in integration projects. It is targeted at both beginners wanting to get involved in the topic and see their first example scenario running, and experts already involved in real-life integration projects and who need a handbook to help them keep their orientation not lose the central theme. The document is organized in such a way that, if printed out, it can be used as a self-contained reference for getting a basic understanding of SAP NetWeaver PI. In addition to this, when used online the handbook serves as the first point of entry to those parts of the SAP Library documentation that cover the key concepts in detail, as well as the procedures for performing the necessary tasks end-to-end. Links to key documentation chapters in each section point you to those parts of the documentation where you can dig deeper into the topic touched on in the section. In detail:

• Chapter 2 covers the basic concepts in short.
• Chapters 3 – 6 cover the basic concepts in detail and provide a description of the most important tasks that come into play in an integration project.
• Chapters 7 – 13 cover specific concepts in more detail than in the preceding chapters. Note: The concepts and tasks described in this document correspond to release SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 including SAP enhancement package 1. It is stated explicitly if a specific feature is not available before SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1.
