Introduction

The configuration description for PI covers the following configuration steps:

In addition, it provides an overview of the parameters contained in the exchange profile.

Intended Audience

The configuration information is intended to be used by both consultants and administrators.

Required Users and Roles

Before you can start to configure PI, you have to assign yourself (and all those involved in the configuration process) the following roles on each host (SAP NetWeaver application server) that is involved:

  • SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR (mandatory)

  • SAP_XI_CONFIGURATOR (mandatory)

  • SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR (mandatory for the SLD configuration)

  • SAP_SLD_CONFIGURATOR (mandatory for the SLD configuration)

More information about SLD roles: SAP System Landscape Directory.

For test purposes, it is recommended that you also assign the other roles that are available.

User menus for the roles are available in the easy access menu of the application server (AS) ABAP. All the role-specific ABAP user menus contain a reference (transaction SXMB_IFR) to the start page of the Java-based PI tools. This start page runs in a Web browser and provides access to the exchange profile and to the PI online documentation.
