Difference between Adapters and Proxies

[former_member725477]

Hi,

Can anyone help me in understanding what is the difference between an adapter and a proxy. I read that the XI can communicate with systems based in WAS 620 and above using a proxy.

And also What are the advantages of using a proxy over adapters..

Thanks for the response.

Hi,

>>>can communicate with systems based in WAS 620 and above using a proxy.

you're talkign aobut abap proxies so:

better monitorng features (you can monitor message from the R/3 system - sxmb_moni)

you don't have to use adapters

no need for sender channels

proxies use native format no need to translate anything

you can build your data structures inside the XI

and with adpaters you have to change them
