Sap Pi Idea & Automation

The document discusses the differences between ETL (extract, transform, load) and EAI (enterprise application integration) integration approaches. It recommends SAP BusinessObjects Data Services for ETL, which involves bulk, batched data movement and transformations between systems. SAP NetWeaver PI is recommended for EAI, which involves real-time, message-based integrations across multiple applications and systems.

As a general rule of thumb, I'd say the following (seeing SAP BusinessObjects Data

Services in an ETL context and SAP NetWeaver PI in an EAI context):

ETL --

Core Use Case: Data Replication and Data Synchronization in batch and real-time

Examples: Asynchronous bulk load of a data warehouse, Data Migration

Data Characteristics: Bulk Data

Transformation Characteristics: Lightweight to sophisticated transformations;


embedded Data Quality Transforms (cleansing, matching)

Integration Process Characteristics: Single-step, stateless integration processes


only

Point-to-point or point to multi-point connectivity with clearly identified sources


and targets

Recommended Product: SAP Business Objects Data Services

EAI --

Core Use Case: Event-driven, message-based application integration in real-time

Example: Synchronous process automation across ERP & CRM system

Data Characteristics: Single messages with small payloads

Transformation Characteristics: Lightweight transformations only

Integration Process Characteristics: Multi-step stateful integration processes,


requiring Workflow/ Business process management (BPM) engine to handle process
status; bus architecture with publish& subscribe, and sophisticated routing rules
