Hi Harleen

In Xi there are two ways to communicate adapters and proxy

Application based on WAS 6.40 can communcate direcrly using proxy

but applications based on WAS <6.20 can communiicate using only adapters

So adapters are used only to connect external system to XI

SAP XI has some inbuild adapters like FILE,JDBC,JMS,SOAP etc

Technical adapters provide low level connectivity to XI

there can also be vendor specific adapters

For more details on adapter I suggest you to go through TBIT 42 This is specific to Adapters Link is as follows

TBIT42:

https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~form/ehandler?_APP=00200682500000001337&_EVENT=DISPLAY&COURSE=TBIT42&LA...

After going through TBIT all ur concepts about adapters will be cleared

Thanks

Hi Harleen,

Beside Proxy , XI Adapter can be used for the communication between XI servers.

Example-->

Company A Company B

File>XI

---

> || -

---

> XI>File

One XI server is in your landscape and other is installed at some other organization's landscape. Now you can use receiver XI adapter to send from your landscape and sender XI adapter to receive data in other XI system.

Hope this helps.

hi

XI adapter is use in directlly communication with the integration engine

and if you are using the XI adapter as a sender side no need to create the sender channel

because XI internally in the entgration engine

for example you are creating the simple application using the BPM in this case used the XI internally

thanks

Hi,

The XI adapter is to exchange messages with an Integration Engine. Both XI 3.0 and XI 2.0 message protocols are supported. You also use the XI adapter to exchange messages between SAP Exchange Infrastructure and the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK).

You can use security settings to sign messages and check the signature. You can encrypt and decrypt message payloads.

Features

· To receive XML messages from a sender system, configure the sender XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the Integration Server to the PCK, you must create a sender XI adapter in the PCK.

· To send XML messages to a receiver system, configure the receiver XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the PCK to the Integration Server, you must create a receiver XI adapter in the PCK.

XI Adapter in the Integration Server:

A communication channel with a receiver XI adapter can be created automatically for business systems that are defined in the System Landscape Directory.

Hi,

We use XI Adapter in case of we use the Server proxies inorder to communicate the Integration server with Integration Engine

If we talk abt the reverse case means Proxies will directly communicate with IS so no need of XI adapter presence here

when we use XI adapters in case of sender?

It is used internally, but creation of communication channel is not required

What are Xi adapters?

XI adapter is used for communication with Integration Engine directly

It is usually used during proxy communication
