advantages of proxy

advantages of creating proxy rather than using idoc ,rfc adapters

•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.

•ABAP proxies supports two different protocols; XI and Web Services

•Most important is that they can be used for both synchronous and asynchronous communication .

RFC/BAPI is basically only intended for Synchronous comm. which asks much more system resources from your XI system.

•Proxies are used when you have large chunks 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 take a java 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.

Hi,

In simple terms, Proxy talks with XI in XI native formats. Therefore, the time required in conversion of messages from one format to another is saved. Thats why proxies are faster in execution than other adapters wherein the conversion of message from one format to other takes place.

Applications based on SAP WEB AS version 6.20 or higher can communiate with the XI using proxies

Also, better monitorng features for ABAP proxies(you can monitor message from the R/3 system - sxmb_moni)
