Reg., Adapter Queries

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can someone please answer the following queries?

1. Explain about what are the ‘Type A’ and ‘Type B’ Adapters?

2. From the following adapters, please categorize the adapters with respect to the type of the communication they perform (like Asynchronous / Synchronous)

File, RFC, XI, JDBC, Mail, IDoc, JMS, SOAP, HTTP, RNIF, CIDX, BC, Marketplace.

I mean, I would like to know about each adapter what sort of communication it supports like Asynchronous, Synchronous or Both.

3. When we will use the XI Adapter specifically? If possible please explain with an example scenario or requirement.

Thanks in advance.

I have received your e-mail. But I could not get the attached word document from your e-mail account. It seems, the attached document was filtered from your company e-mail.

Can you please send the same document from your personal e-mail account?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Sree,

RFC is synchrronous adapters.

File, XI, HTTP, SOAP are asynchronous adaptres.

<i>When we will use the XI Adapter specifically?</i> - When you have your SAP system on WEB AS 6.2 or higher, then only you could use proxy in your SAP system......so with XI adapter, you can either connect to SAP for proxy or you could connect XI to an external web-service.

Thanks,
