Hi,

After going throuh XI architecture picture I have got one very basic doubt like whether all adapters (except idoc and http) will reside in adapter engine or they reside externally to adapter engine ?? Still now what I was thinking all adapters (except idoc and http) are part of adapter engine. But like to confirm whether I was mistaken or right ??

Idoc and http adapters reside on abap stack. What is the meaning of abap stack ?? Is it like that IE is build on abap architecture and as idoc and http adapters reside in IE they will be called as reside on abap stack ??

thanks

kumar

Hi,

The adapters run on the Adapter Engine which in turn runs on the J2EE engine of XI.

ABAP stack is the Installation of XI that runns on the ABAP WebAS, J2EE stack is the Installation of XI that runs on the j2EE based WebAS.

HI,

The Adapter Engine provides adapters, which you use to do the following, depending on their configuration:

- Communicate with SAP systems using the RFC interface (RFC adapter)

- Enable data exchange with the SAP Business Connector (SAP Business Connector adapter)

- Exchange data with external systems using a file interface or an FTP server (file/FTP adapter)

- Access databases using JDBC (JDBC adapter)

- Communicate with messaging systems using the JMS API (JMS adapter)

- Integrate remote clients or Web Service providers using the SOAP adapter (SOAP adapter)

- Connect marketplaces to the Integration Engine (Marketplace Adapter)

- Connect e-mail servers to the Integration Engine (Mail adapter)

- Communicate with systems that support the RosettaNet standard (RNIF adapter)

- The CIDX adapter supports Chem eStandards, an open standard for business-to-business data exchange in the chemical industry

palnati,

if look at XIserver it works WAS Web Application server . WAS has two parts

1. WEB AS ABAP

2. WEB AS JAVA

Adapter Engine sits on WEB AS JAVA that is J2ee engine of XI

hi,

>>>>> Still now what I was thinking all adapters (except idoc and http) are part of adapter engine.

adapters are part of adapter engine

>>>What is the meaning of abap stack ??

it means that these are sevices written in ABAP

and other adapters are services written in java

that's the main difference
