Hi,
XI and WebDynPro both comes under Netweaver.
The roles of Xi developer and administrator are distinguished.
XI Administrator....
1. Installation and configuration of XI server.
2. Post installation steps of XI server.
3. Creating software Component and Software products in SLD.
4. Also creation of namespaces will come under the roles of admin, as in our enviornment developer does'nt have the rights to create a new namespaces . Developer files up a request form to Basis team and an Administrator does the creation.
5.Then there are many periodic activities like archiving of messages, deletion of messages , performance tuning if required, etc.
6.Creating Business system in SLD .
7. Assigning proper roles to individual user etc.
8. Also Creation of an XI Track in CMS to transport your objects is a task of XI Administrator.
XI developer.
1 XI developer deals with the Scenario specific Repository objects like creation of Data type , message type , message interface,mapping ,etc.
He is also responsible for the creating the configuration objects in ID.
No portal knowledge will be required to work in XI.

1) XI technical consulants install XI and do the whole administration
XI developer develops interfaces - so programming
XI architect - who just tells XI developers what to do - which mappings to use,
how to model the flow (with or without BPM) or info from module consultants
2) Both Webdynpro and XI are Netwevaer technologies.

3) No special skill is required for XI.
Limited knowledge Core Java, ALE/IDOC/RFC is enough
