HI Prathna

You use the Advanced Adapter Engine to connect the Integration Engine to SAP systems (RFC adapter) and non-SAP systems. You use the various adapters in the Adapter Engine to convert XML- and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocol and format required by these systems, and the other way around.

Using Integrated Configuration you can define a local Message Processing on the Advanced Adapter Engine. The Advanced Adapter Engine provides mapping and routing for this locally. Message Processing is only executed on the Advanced Adapter Engine from one adapter to another without the involvement of the Integration Engine. You can gain a great improvement in performance.

You can implement all adapters on the Adapter Engine for a local Message Processing on the Advanced Adapter Engine, apart from the RNIF adapters and the CIDX adapters.

If you do not use Integrated Configuration, Message Processing will always be performed by the Integration Engine to execute the routing and mapping there.

The Advanced Adapter Engine is a separate software component that is automatically installed on the Integration Server. In this case, it is the central Advanced Adapter Engine. However, you can also install the Advanced Adapter Engine separately on another host. This is then a non-central Advanced Adapter Engine.

Its all the same means only one adapter is there in Xi but it depends on configuration means how you configure your message to be processed ...and there the " advanced " adapter engine concept came... means processing message locally or inside the IE

Hi Prarthna Samuel ,

please go through

Advanced adapter engine is new name given to adapter engine in PI 7.1 .

performance of pi 7.1 is going to vary from PI 7.o because of adapter engine,most of the operations like mapping are going to be performed at adapter engine stack than integartion engine.

performance of pi 7.1 is 14 time than performance of PI 7.O due to new architecture of adapter engine in PI 7.1 .

that's why the name AAE.

Thanks & Regards,

Rama Krishna

Hi,

I didn't heard about Adavanced Adapter engine in XI.

We have the only one Adapter Engine in XI, which is used to convert the sender data to receiver format in XI
