Hi shiva,

The integration repository is used to create data types,message types,interfaces,mappings,etc.All these objects are not independent of customer landscape,so they can be shipped along different landscapes.whereas in Integration directory you define the actual sender and receiver of ur message,the adapter to be used.All these objects are created specifically for a landscape.ID objects are not shipped.

the integration server conists of integration engine,adapter engine and bussiness process engine(BPE). Integration engine is where ur message is executed i.e the receiver determination, msg mapping execution,etc.

BPEL stands for bussiness process execution language.whenever a business process is created it is executed by the BPe which is inside the integration server.

hi,

IR is the place where you create ur design time xi objects like data types, message types, mappings etc.

ID is where you 'configure ur scenario'. that is ur systems com into the picture. you create configuration time xi objects-- rx determination, sender and receiver agreements, interface determination etc.

Integration server is the runtime of xi. ur incoming message is processed in IS. it has tgree components Integration engine, adapter engine and business process engine. routing, mapping etc take place in integration engine.

BPEL is the execution language for ur business processes and it is executed over business process engine which is a part of IS.

HI Siva

1. All the Design part we will do it in the IR and all the configuration part we will do in ID.

2. Integration Server and Integration Engine are used synonymous with each other. But there is a sublte difference if you actually look into the XI architecture images provded by SAP.

The Integration Server contains,

a. Adapter Engine

b. Business Process Engine

c. Integration Engine.

So, taking this into picture I guess Integartion server is a collection of these 3 while integration engine is one of the runtime components of XI. All messages are processed in the Integration Engine.

The Integration Engine executes the integration logic of the Integration Server and converts messaging (of the Integration Server or application systems).

Actually the Integration Engine is Central runtime component of the Integration Server for receiving, processing, and forwarding messages.

Cheers...

Integration repository is the place where you design.i.e you create the data types,message types etc.Integration repository is the place where you configure i.e

creating communication channels,sender and receiver agreement.
