Hi Smith,

The use of XI adapter in abap server proxies is to communicate the IS with its respective R/3 system ( ie application system).Proxies will communicate with the XI server through the native SOAP calls over HTTP . So we need to mention the integration server to connect to the correct application system during runtime.

Have luk at below links:

Hope this will help.

Smith,

A question back to you.

Consider you have 20 communication channels for your Business sytem (R/3).

How will XI know which is the communication channel to be used dor your scenario with out a receiver agreeemnet?

I'll reframe my question.

In case of client proxy ,ie for a scenario like R/3 to XI if we use proxy,no need to use any communication channelSo no need of sender agreement.

But in case of a scenario like XI to R/3 if we use proxy (this is server proxy), then we need XI adapter.So we have to create a communication channel and a receiver agreement also. What exactly this XI adapter does in case of server proxy?

>>What exactly this XI adapter does in case of server proxy?

Sends the msg in its native format (SOAP msg) to the Application server. In XI adapter you just configure the details of the application server like user credentials, path in the application server.

These details can be maintained in a RFC destiantion also and you can specify the RFC destination name in communication channel.

<i>What exactly this XI adapter does in case of server proxy? </i>

XI adapter is used within XI for communication b/w AE and IE. So, regardless of proxy/not proxy, XI has to use it. If you are using Client ABAP proxy (Sender Proxy), then it is not required. If you are using Server proxy, then it is required. The use of adapter here is to communicate the Integration Server with respective ApplcatioN System. ie, R.3 or any SAP system which is configured as an Application System to the XI.

A very descriptive discussion
