Client Proxies : ABAP or Java code which sends a request to XI and may or may not get response back based on the mode of communication i.e. sync / Async

Server Proxies : ABAP or Java code to which XI sends a request to and may or may not get response back based on the mode of communication i.e. sync / Async

Hi Satish,

<u><b>

CLIENT PROXY:</b></u>

A WSDL description from a UDDI server (or an Internet page) is usually used to make a service executable in the Internet and to describe the interface of this service. You require a client proxy and not a server proxy to call this service by using the Web service infrastructure.

It sends data into XI i.e.the proxy makes a request to the integration server and gets back a response / or not [based on sync/async] attributes.

<u><b>SERVER PROXY:</b></u>

You can only generate ABAP server proxies from a WSDL description if they originate in the Integration Repository.You can also generate server proxies for Java and client proxies for ABAP from message interfaces.

It recieves a request from XI pipeline and does further processing , may or may not send back a response [again based on sync or async nature of the interface]

Generally speaking, if u generate proxy for outbound interface then its client proxy and for inbound interface its server proxy.

Satish,

Client Proxies are used to send data from the Appplication System to XI .

Server Proxies are the other way around. It is used to send data from XI to the Application System.
