Hi Bharat,

You seem to have a range of Questions. I will try and answer as many as possible.

  1. What is Sproxy?

SPROXY is a transaction [T-Code] on the SAP ECC/CRM etc side where you can see the objects designed in SAP PI ESR and develop its corresponding ABAP code. SPROXY T-Code displays the Service Interface. You can read more about it in the following site:

SAPTechnical.COM - XI - ABAP Proxy communication

  2.     Why we are using Sproxy instead of Idocs

For Certain implementations Standard IDocs may not be available and it is quite tedious to create a Z- IDoC and therefore it is advantageous to use Proxy. You can read more about this doubt in the following links:


3. When we are going Proxy ?

When there are no Standard IDocs available. Please refer above links to get an answer for this.


4.   What are the types of proxy ?

5.   How to Create to Proxy ?

Again the following link has the answers for both these questions:

SAPTechnical.COM - XI - ABAP Proxy communication

6.   What the Difference between SProxy  and Idocs

Difference is in the way the communication happens. Standard Idocs are already provided and you can use them directly while Proxy you will require to write the code on ECC side. You can refer the following link to understand more:

7. What is SOAP file? When we are using SOAP file ?

I have not heard of anything called SOAP file. SOAP is a protocol used for communication and you can send files as attachment in your SOAP to Any(file/idoc/Soap etc) or vice Versa Interfaces. Infact Proxy itself is SOAP based communication with XI 3.0 Protocol.

Please explore SCN to know more about the various scenarios. There are endless possibilities in SAP PI.

Hope this Helps.

Thanks &  Regards,
