SAP PI/PO Interview Questions

What is SAP PI/PO?SAP PI (Process Integration) and SAP PO (Process


Orchestration) are middleware tools that enable seamless integration between
different systems and applications within an organization's landscape.
Differentiate between SAP PI and SAP PO.SAP PI is the earlier version of the
middleware tool, and SAP PO is the successor that includes additional features like
process orchestration and business rules management.
What are the main components of SAP PI/PO?The main components of SAP PI/PO are
Integration Builder, Integration Directory, Integration Engine, and Runtime
Workbench.
Explain the purpose of the Integration Builder in SAP PI/PO.The Integration
Builder is used for designing, creating, and modifying integration objects such as
Interface Objects, Message Mapping, and Configuration Objects.
What is an Adapter in SAP PI/PO?An Adapter is used to establish communication
between SAP PI/PO and external systems or applications. It acts as an interface
between different protocols and formats.
What are the different types of Adapters in SAP PI/PO?SAP PI/PO supports
various adapters such as File Adapter, IDoc Adapter, JDBC Adapter, SOAP Adapter,
REST Adapter, RFC Adapter, etc.
Explain the purpose of the Integration Directory in SAP PI/PO.The Integration
Directory serves as a central configuration repository for maintaining integration
scenarios, channels, and other communication-related information.
What is an Integration Scenario in SAP PI/PO?An Integration Scenario defines
the flow of messages between different systems and applications in an integration
process.
What are Message Mappings in SAP PI/PO?Message Mappings are used to convert
data from the source format to the target format during message processing.
What is the role of the Integration Engine in SAP PI/PO?The Integration Engine
is responsible for routing, queuing, and processing messages between different
system components.
Explain the purpose of the Runtime Workbench in SAP PI/PO.The Runtime Workbench
provides monitoring and error handling capabilities to monitor message processing
and manage errors in integration scenarios.
What is the difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous Interfaces in SAP
PI/PO?Synchronous interfaces provide real-time responses, while asynchronous
interfaces do not require an immediate response and are processed later.
How do you handle message mapping in SAP PI/PO?Message mappings are handled
using the graphical mapping tool, where you can define mapping rules to transform
data from the source to the target structure.
Explain the terms 'Inbound Interface' and 'Outbound Interface' in SAP
PI/PO.Inbound Interface: It refers to the interface used to receive messages from
external systems into SAP PI/PO. Outbound Interface: It refers to the interface
used to send messages from SAP PI/PO to external systems.
What are the different design objects in SAP PI/PO?The design objects in SAP
PI/PO include Interface Objects, Data Type Objects, Message Mapping Objects, and
Configuration Objects.
How do you handle acknowledgments and message status in SAP PI/PO?SAP PI/PO
provides a monitoring feature to check message status, and acknowledgments are
handled through acknowledgment settings in the sender and receiver communication
channels.
Explain the terms 'Sync/Async Bridge' and 'Async/Sync Bridge' in SAP
PI/PO.Sync/Async Bridge: It converts synchronous messages to asynchronous messages
before forwarding them to the Integration Engine. Async/Sync Bridge: It converts
asynchronous messages to synchronous messages before forwarding them to the target
system.
What is the role of the Message Protocol in SAP PI/PO?The Message Protocol
defines the communication method, like HTTP, RFC, FTP, etc., used to send messages
between systems.
How do you handle errors in SAP PI/PO?Errors in SAP PI/PO can be monitored and
managed through the Runtime Workbench, where you can check error messages and re
How do you handle errors in SAP PI/PO?Errors in SAP PI/PO can be monitored and
managed through the Runtime Workbench, where you can check error messages and
reprocess failed messages.
