SAP Integration Advisor (IA) is a component of the SAP Integration Suite
Message Implementation Guidelines
MIGs contain all information for implementing a customized message interface. IA uses the message in a type system as a starting point to implement message interfaces. It ensures all users who are involved have a clear understanding of the guidelines
Mapping Guidelines
MAGs are runtime artifacts that are used in the mapping step of an integration platform. It simplifies the data mapping tasks for users who use messages.
MAGs are based on MIGs. It demonstrates how the defined nodes at each side are mapped and describes all mapping elements in detail with definition or notes for the transformation.
The Integration advisor proposes mappings generated by the AI engine. These can be reviewed and filtered using the constraints option.
Provision of runtime artifacts
MIG & MAG play together to provide specification and documentation for interface contracts that can then be used in integration flows.
After MIG and MAG are defined, Integration Advisor can generate several runtime artifacts:
- XLST Mappings
- Pre/Post processing scripts
- XML Schemata (XSD)
- PDF Documentations
Process of creating a message mapping
- Choose the correct type system
- Create Source MIG
- Create Target MIG
- Create MAG
