HI

XI Developer:

Starts from technical specification

Create design and configuration objects- execute unit tests

Support integration/stress tests

Document the developments

Responsibilities for a support project :

Responsibilities for a support project depends on Project.

But in general u have to Monitor SXMB_MONI, SMQ2, SMQ1 & RBW for Error Message.If there is any error u have to find the reason of error.

Then either u can resend it or u have to cancel it.

In IDOC scenarios most of the time Error comes bcoz IDOC comes with blank values for required Fileds & then Mapping fails........... in such cases u have to cancel that message & tell R3 ppl to resend the IDOC.

Then some times messages get stuck in queuesu have to resend them.

Hey

Practically speaking i have done Basis jobs as well while my designation was SAP XI developer,similarly there have been instances where i have to work on ABAP,Perl/Unix script,Java,Solution Manager,Aris,eSOA etc.

Ideally speaking,a developer will only do interface development.(but the world is not ideal:))

Thanx
