Hi,

In Case of Client Proxies

Source application can directly interact with the XI by executing the report in SAP R/3 & will be able to send the XML data to IS,

So no need of the XI Adapter in this case to post xml to XI.

In Case of Server Proxies

Now XI has to post the xml data to the Target Application, here some thing shld be there to establish the medium with the Target System. So we use XI adapter here.

Basically XI adapter will be used in normal scenarios also to communicate Adapter Engine with Integration Server internally while delivering the msg.

Check this Msg Flow how the XI Adapter is used in Normal Scenarios

Hi Ginger,

The use of XI adapter in abap server proxies is to communicate the IS with its respective R/3 system ( ie application system).Proxies will communicate with the XI server through the native SOAP calls over HTTP . So we need to mention the integration server to connect to the correct application system during runtime.XI adapter is used within XI for communication b/w AE and IE. So, regardless of proxy/not proxy, XI has to use it. If you are using Client ABAP proxy (Sender Proxy), then it is not required. If you are using Server proxy, then it is required. The use of adapter here is to communicate the Integration Server with respective ApplcatioN System. ie, R.3 or any SAP system which is configured as an Application System to the XI.

Its the same like HTTP or IDOC Communication.

The sending System process his message directly to the Integration Server. The Sending System starts the Message Flow.The XI dont has to do that when you using this kind of communication.

Sender Communication channel you need for technolgys which are not able to process messages direct to the Integration Server.

Like RFC .. or when you pick up a File.

The connection parameters in case of Outbound is maintained in the SAP system itself.

Hence a sender communication channel is not required.

However when it is the receiver, the connection parameters are specified in the communication channel. As the data is being sent form the XI system to SAP system, the connection details need to be given in the sender that is the XI system, which is done by specifying the receiver communication channel.
