In very simple words..

Application system: This is the system where you run all your applications. e.g R3 system

Integration Server: The system which integrates one or more systems is called the Integaration server. e.g XI

> in which case we use each of them

Suppose you are having a scanario called IDCO to FILE. Then in this case you will be sending the IDOC from Application System to Integration Server.

Integration Server and Integration Engine are used synonymous with each other. But there is a sublte difference if you actually look into the XI architecture images provded by SAP.

The Integration Server contains,

1. Adapter Engine

2. Business Process Engine

3. Integration Engine.

So, taking this into picture I guess Integartion server is a collection of these 3 while integration engine is one of the runtime components of XI. All messages are processed in the Integration Engine.

Hi

Integration Engine:

In Intergation Engine message is processed through different steps these processed one after the other these steps are pipeline steps . it is called is called pipeline it same logic as pipe fristinfirstout.

pipelinestep: Receiver determination,interfacedetermination,routing,mapping,calladapter.

The Application Server or you can say web application server is fully J2EE compatible and is certified by sun. JMS is part of the J2EE specification, thus every program that works with JMS should be able to work with the JMS provider of the server. The JMS runs by default,
