In 2002, SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) was launched as part of the SAP NetWeaver suite. SAP XI version 1.0 evolved into SAP XI 2.0 and SAP XI 3.0 in 2004. SAP XI was built on top of a dual-stack architecture, which includes SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP (SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP) and SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java (SAP NetWeaver AS Java). After a few improvements and new features, the product was renamed from SAP XI to SAP NetWeaver PI in 2005. In 2010, SAP PI 7.3 was released with a more productively equipped Java stack: AEX. This is a robust Java-only ESB.

From the ESM of ABC, it can be found that SAP ERP, the ERP system used in ABC, needs to communicate with the SolidWorks CAD system. It can also be found from the ESM of ABC that the SAP ERP system uses SAP NetWeaver Application Program Interface (API). Further, suppose it is known that SolidWorks uses Microsoft .NET API. As such, to integrate SAP and SolidWorks, the compatibility issue between SAP NetWeaver API and Microsoft .Net API will be examined. Suppose it is known that SAP NetWeaver API and Microsoft .Net API are found to be compatible and hence, SAP and SolidWorks can readily be integrated from the viewpoint of API.
