Every XI installtion gets installed with a deafult adapter engine referred to as the central Adapter Engine.

In many cases, when the load is expectedto high for load balancing and SPOF (Single Point of Failure) etc, you can have multiple adapter engines and these addiotnal AE's are called Decentral Adapter Engines.

Hi Bhavesh,

Thanks for your reply.

one more query, where does decentralized adapters will be installed. I mean, are they installed on the same hos(machine) where the XI server is installed or some other host. If it is on other hosts how does it will communicate with XI server.

Thanks,

They are normally insatlled on separate SAP J2EE WAS. , i.e, a separate host.

>>what kind of protocols will it use for communication

The same set of protocols used by central adapter engine to communicate with the IE ie HTTP.

Hi Avispra,

<i>are they installed on the same hos(machine) where the XI server is installed or some other host</i>

Separate machine recommended

<i>If it is on other hosts how does it will communicate with XI server. </i>

The SLD of the decentralize adapter engine will point to the integration server of the central XI
