BizTalk Server Integration with SAP NetWeaver

SAP Web Application Server 6.20 - the platform for SAP NetWeaver and SAP 4.7 - is able to send and receive IDocs in XML format. We have used this capability in a few projects to connect BizTalk Server to SAP NetWeaver over HTTP. The integration worked well and performance was very satisfying based on our configuration (2 loadbalanced Web Server for receiving the IDocs and a BizTalk Server Group with 2 dual-processor Server etc.). We have published a Collaboration Brief on this topic. The document can be found at http://www.microsoft-sap.com/pdf/CollaborationBrief.pdf. This Collaboration Brief includes a Walk-Through for setting up the SAP System the BizTalk Server 2004 or BizTalk Server 2006 in order to help you to set up this scenario.
