Open PI Initiative (OPI2)

Overview

The Open PI Initiative (OPI2) is the first comprehensive Open Source project for SAP Netweaver PI. Aim of the initiative is to provide and develop reusable adapters, tools, libraries and functional add-ons for SAP NetWeaver PI within the open source community. The current subprojects comprise the Open PI Adapter for EDIFACT, the Open PI Adapter for AS2 and the Open PI Conversion Module for EDIFACT.
