In this video demonstration, Paul Read and Udo Paltzer guide you step-by-step through the procedure for service-enabling a legacy application using SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1.

Learn how to make proprietary legacy functionality available as a standardized Web service by applying SAP NetWeaver PI as an abstraction layer between the consumer and the provider application.

We focus on the following areas: 

• Process modeling in the Enterprise Services Repository
• Working with the Enterprise Services Builder to model SOA artifacts such as data types, message types, service interfaces, mappings, and communication channel templates
• Process Component Interaction Model 
• Configuring the message exchange between the service consumer and the provider
• Publishing the service description to the Services Registry and testing it
• Process execution and monitoring
