Hi Prasad,

In case of server proxy, XI is sending the data to other integration engine ( Remember Was 6.20 and above has inbuilt IE ). XI communicates with this Integration engine using XI adapter. Now to identify that integration engine Path, the channel and the receiver agreement is required, so we configure XI adpter .

At sender side, external integration engine sends the data to XI integration engine. As XI understands the Path and Format directly, so it does not require the adapter configuration at the sender side.

Adapters functionality is to handle the data transformations( to convert data from Source format to Target format). It also holds the login credentials of Target system.

When u come to "XIAdapter" (used in proxy communication), it does not do any data transformations ( XML format is retained). It has only the login credentials of external system. Thats why we use XI adapter to know about the Target System.

As there are no Data transformations we term it as "adapterless" communication.

Hi Hari,

Communication Channel is used for two purposes.

Transformation of data from one format to another and providing Logon Details for Target System.

In proxy communication transformation of data is not required as it uses the native XI format ( XML over HTTP )for communication.

In Receiver Proxy we use Receiver XI communication channel only to solve the purpose of providing target System login details but At sender side, external system sends the data to XI . As XI understands the Path and Format directly, so it does not require the adapter configuration at the sender side(no need of XI communication channel).
