Diff between Proxies and Adapters

[Former Member]

Hello,

What is the difference between Proxies and Adapters?

Also, why do we need to go for proxies, when we have adapters?

Hi Priya,

The discussions in these threads will give you a clear idea:

You can use proxies for systems with WAS >=6.20

<b>Proxies</b> are interfaces which will get executed in the application system. They can be created only in the system from message interfaces using the proxy generation functions.

XI will communicate in native language with SAP systems via proxies. Proxies uses XML - SOAP based communication for both ABAP and Java Proxies.

<b>Adapters</b> will convert one format into another expected/target format. means from SAP standard formats and as well as 3rd party formats to target formats.

Hello Rajesh,

Thanks for your answer. But I still do have a small doubt.

<i>"XI will communicate in native language with SAP systems via proxies"</i>

What is this native language?

Hi Priya,

XI can understand only XML data. So, native languae for XI is XML.
