Using SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) to ensure the safe transfer of data across security domain boundaries

This article shows you how to use SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) 7.0 in conjunction with a security gateway to ensure the safe transfer of data between high and low security domains. PI serves as a flexible and transparent integration platform while the security gateway acts as a firewall, enabling data to cross domain boundaries without compromising security.
