Hi,
Could you please provide me difference between IntegrationServer and Integration Engine.
functionality of both and what are the runtime environments exits in XI Server.
Could you please show me digaram how message flow from
XI server i.e., through which engines.. what is the input and output of each engine.
Thanks,
RamuV
Integration engine is part of Integration Server

HI
1.Integration server: It receives & forwards the messages of applications systems. It uses XML message format as it is easy to connect to non-sap systems. Once the data from non-sap system has been converted to xml using adapters, it is simple to convert data to other xml formats of other systems. Various engines work on integration server.
2.Integration Engine: Receives messages using Xi Message protocol and performs services like routing and mapping for received messages. XI Message protocol is based on w3c.SAP systems support this protocol directly using proxy runtime and local integration engine. So no adapters require communicating with integration engine.
Integration scenarios are developed in IR, configured in ID, and executed at runtime by the integration server.
Integration Server: This is the actual run time of XI. It is the central processing engine of the XI. All messages whether SAP or non-SAP, A2A or B2B, regardless of backend technology or vendor, are processed in a consistent way. It comprises of
The Adapter Engine running on the JAVA stack and consisting of many JCA adapters.
The Integration Engine running on the ABAP stack which process message in a consistent way using a series of pipeline steps.
The Business Process Engine on the ABAP stack where the Integration process or BPM are executed.

Hello Ramu,
Go through this link..

Use
Two SAP XI 3.0 Integration Servers are used to exchange messages between the system landscapes of two business partners.
Description
An SAP XI Integration Server of a business partner is connected to the SAP XI Integration Server of another business partner. Both use SAP XI message protocol to send or receive messages.
When an SAP XI Integration Server receives a message from another Integration Server it understands the message format and so processes the message.
Example
A business partner that uses SAP XI wants to send a message to another business partner who also uses SAP XI .
· The message is sent between the Integration Servers in SAP XI message format
· The Integration Server of the second business partner then sends the message to the relevant business system
Integration Engine
Purpose
The Integration Engine enables you to process XML messages exchanged between applications in heterogeneous system landscapes. Both applications of SAP components and external applications can communicate with the Integration Engine.
Using adapters, the Integration Engine can also process IDocs (Intermediate Documents) and RFCs (Remote Function Calls). This option is available for applications that have already defined IDocs or RFCs, as well as for applications of SAP components that do not yet have access to the proxy generation functions.
Integration
The Integration Engine is the runtime environment of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure. The following are examples of other important parts of this infrastructure:
· Proxy Generation
· Integration Repository
· Integration Directory
The integration processes involved can take place between heterogeneous system components within a company, as well as between business partners outside company boundaries.
Features
The Integration Engine, as a runtime component of SAP Exchange Infrastructure, has the task of receiving, processing, and forwarding XML messages. During message processing, collaboration agreements are evaluated, the receivers are determined, and mapping activities are executed.
The individual processing steps are called pipeline services and are defined in pipelines. It is the task of the Integration Engine to process these pipelines correctly and consistently. To guarantee this, you must configure the Integration Engine accordingly and monitor the message processing. Both event-driven message processing and prioritized message processing are possible.
Thanks,
Satya Kumar
