1. waht is the advantage of proxies comparing to adapters? one of the advantage is Adapterless communication, eventhough we will tell proxies are adapter less communication, we will use xi adapter? may i know the reason for this?

Hi,

Take a look at this blog too,

Hi,

it's not always <b>advantage thing</b>

adapters are more or less for data change

(structure - flat to xml , jdbc to xml etc)

and proxies are more or less

a replacement for idocs, RFC connections

so you can still use both:

SAP - ABAP Proxy - XI - adapter

Hi ,

Adapters can covert non XML to XML messages where as proxies cannot.XI will communicate in native language with SAP systems via proxies.

The above thread should give you a pretty good idea.

Hi Rakesh,

Applications based on SAP WEB AS version 6.20 or higher can communiate with the XI in the native XI-SOAP format via proxies. All other applications, including "legacy" SAP systems (those on the Basis releases lower than version 6.20), communicate with the XI via Adapters.

ABAP Proxy Scenarios:

Java Proxy Scenarios:

/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/04/03/abap-server-proxies

Go thro' the above scenarios to feel how advantageous is proxy within the SAP landscape.

I hope this helps.
