What is XI

XI:

Purpose

Exchange Infrastructure in SAP NetWeaver (SAP NetWeaver XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, uses open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers those services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape:

● Modeling and design of messages, transformations, and cross-component integration processes

● Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow

● Runtime for message and process management

● Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components

● Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes

SAP NetWeaver XI supports internal company scenarios and cross-company scenarios.

Design and Configuration Time

SAP Exchange Infrastructure centrally manages the integration knowledge in the Integration Repository and Directory. The Integration Repository gathers together all objects relevant for shipment (see: Design) while the contents of the Integration Directory must be configured at the customer site for the particular system landscape.

Integration Processes (ccBPM)

Purpose

An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.

You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).

Adapters:

Adapters enable the PCK to communicate with different systems.

Features

Adapters are used to connect the PCK both to SAP Exchange Infrastructure and to other systems.

● Communicate with SAP systems using the RFC interface (RFC adapter)

● Enable data exchange with the SAP Business Connector (SAP Business Connector adapter)

● Exchange data with systems by using a file interface or an FTP server (file/FTP adapter )

● Access databases using JDBC (JDBC adapter)

● Communicate with messaging systems using the JMS API (JMS adapter)

● Integrate remote clients or Web service providers using the SOAP adapter (SOAP adapter )

● Connect e-mail servers to the PCK (mail adapter)

● Exchange data with SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI adapter)

There are many weblogs available on SDN which will help you to understand.

Thnx
