Ashish,

SXMB_ADM is mainly used for administering your XI box. Also you can configure XI using this transaction. Check this help for what all you can done here:

SICF is used to lock funcitons for the users. Also you can activate or create the services. Check this help on this:

SMICM can be used to start stop the xi server. Also you can use this to monitor and adminster the communicaton manager. Check this help on this:

SICF

The ICF provides interfaces that make it possible to use the HTTP connection. The interface IF_HTTP_SERVER models the entire HTTP connection. This interface is used to access the request and the response. The ICF can also be used in a client role. As a client, the ICF can send HTTP requests to other Web servers (such as SAP Web AS, Apache, and IIS).

When you use the SAP system as a server, you require a HTTP request handler. SAP provides these handlers. A HTTP request handler is a program that is identified by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and receives HTTP requests that use this URL. The HTTP request handler must receive data sent by a request, process the data, and then generate a response to this HTTP request.

The link between URL and HTTP request handler is storedi in SICF

SMICM

With an add-in installation (Java + ABAP), a Java instance is assigned to an ABAP instance. The Internet Communication Manager (ICM) of the ABAP instance starts and stops the associated Java instance as required. To start this ICM Monitor, transaction SMICM is used

SXMB_ADM

The integration server related configurations and monitoring can be done using transaction sxmb_adm. We frequentlt use it in XI to monitor the processed XML messages after these messages reaches the integration server.
