Dear Srinivasarao,

SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, uses open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers those services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape:

-->Modeling and design of messages, transformations, and cross-component integration processes

-->Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow

-->Runtime for message and process management

-->Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components

-->Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes

SAP XI is based on general standards so as to enable external systems to be integrated. At the center of the infrastructure is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). The application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML (eXtensible Markup Language) schema from the sender to the receiver using the Integration Server.

Hope i answerd your query please reward points if you are satisfied.
