hello nanthagopal,

idoc metdata is needed in the xi system, beacuse xi server doesnt have the standard idoc structure. we import the metadata from the r/3 system using the transaction IDX2.

an idoc adapter receives an idoc from an r/3 system and converts that idoc into an xml idoc structure.

thanks,
