2) How is converting into XML messages?

3) What is main d/w Adopter and proxies?

With in XI all messages are processed in XML only.

>>2) How is converting into XML messages?

Using J2EE adapter frame work

>>3) What is main d/w Adopter and proxies?

Adapter is a part of J2EE adapter frame work where as proxies lie in ABAP stack.

HI,

1) XI will accept and give only XML messages.

2) Adapters are used to convert the messages in native format to XML and vice-versa.

3) Proxies are executable interfaces. They support adapter less communication.

Hi Ram,

1) In Xi , only XML language or any other, if yes, tell me others.

--> The integration engine works with "SOAP with attachments". SAP did enhance the "normal "SOAP.

2) How is converting into XML messages?

--> This is the task of every adapter convert incoming/outgoing format <-> SOAP (internal format)

3) What is main d/w Adopter and proxies?

--> If you got existing applications and want to connect them to XI you normally you adapters (JDBC, FILE, SOAP for WebServices, ...). If you develop a new scenario and you Backend is able to speak JAVA, ABAP Proxies have the advantage for a faster development. Proxies go directly to XI and do not use adapters.
