SAP Exchange Infrastructure Adapter Framework
I attended a hands-on session on XI. In the session we took a scenario from beginning to end. The scenario was to put a stock quote on a screen. There are two ways to invoke XI – from the outside in or the inside out. SAP strongly suggests using the inside out approach. What this means is that you can use ABAP to invoke XI (outside in) or you can use XI to invoke ABAP (inside out).
The following website contains web based information that can be retrieved via the XI infrastructure:

(I also placed this on the sidebar – Publicly Available Web Services)
Another new acronym to remember – WSDL – Web Service Description Language
I attended a presentation by a vendor on a tool to integrate Goggle maps. The demo used a scenario where a retailer was trying to determine the logistics of running a sales promotion. The program put bar charts on the map in the warehouse locations for available inventory. It then showed mileage and routes for retail outlets that carry the product. This was all imposed on a google map.
I attended a presentation on Visual Composer. This is the (fill in the largest number you can think of) attempt to create a tool so you will no longer need programmers. I think this will be a great programming tool. One of the examples presented showed a BAPI being selected and placed on a screen through cut and paste.
I attended a hands-on session on Bullet-Proof Software – Writing Robust and Correct Code in ABAP. I was very disappointed in this session. The session was on error handling which is certainly a worthwhile topic but not what I was expecting. Using their analogy – I believe to bullet-proof software you need to learn how to stay out of the wrong neighborhoods – not put on more Kevlar. In the XI / NetWeaver world I understand the need for robust error handling – I just wished they would have said that was the topic of the session and I would have chosen a different session.

Dateline: What happened to Taylor Behl?
Taylor Behl, like so many young people headed for college, was excited about going to Virginia Commonwealth University-and nervous too.
Hi, I was just blog surfing and found you! You might find mine of interest, go see my mlm related site. It isnt anything special but you may still find something of interest.
Hey Bloggers. If you could choose just one strategy for marketing techniques, what would it be?
By the way I have a marketing techniques site.
Check it out if you have time.
Nice Blog!!! I thought I'd tell you about a site that will let give you places where
you can make extra cash! I made over $800 last month. Not bad for not doing much. Just put in your
