Hi Rachit,

Here is how i can look at the two....

With regard to performance, Proxy communication is better than RFC/BAPI communication..........The biggest advantage of the proxy is that it always by passes the Adapter Engine and will directly interact with the application system and Integration engine - so it will and should give us a better performance.

Proxies communicate with the XI server by means of native SOAP calls over HTTP .RFC does not, so you have to convert from SOAP to RFC calls and vice versa. So XML conversion is required.

RFC/BAPI has its own overhead of function call. If you use ABAP Proxy , you can reduce this overhead of calling the function again and again.

Proxies are used when you have large amount of data coming in and that too if its unstructured, so if it comes from a SAP system we go for a ABAP proxy, if its from a non sap system, we go in for Jjava proxy.

For abap proxy we may use a report to send a proxy data to sap xi.

EOIO quality of service can be obtained with Proxies and not with RFC/BAPI.

RFC/BAPI support BE( Best Effort ) when used synchronously.

Also have a look at Michal's Blog below....

Hi,

If you wont to integrate the application system based on WAS >= 6.2 go for ABAP proxy.

Reg. proxy ref this doc: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/48/d5a1fe5f317a4e8e35801ed2c88246/content.htm">Proxy Runtime</a>

In other cases (WAS < 6.2) use RFC adapter.

Reg. RFC adapter ref this doc: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/33/c6e63b60c25767e10000000a11402f/content.htm">RFC Adapter</a>

Hi,

RFC Adapter will be used to use BAPIs or RFCs in R3 integration with sender or reciver side..

ABAP proxys are not for ABove two rest of integration with R3, when WAS is >=6.2 version, and Adapter less communication..

see above link s
