Hi,
1. Getting through the introduction,XI acts as a middleware between source and destination.Goal of XI is to provide a single point of integration for the systems,SAP and NON-SAP.
2.XI supports A2A ,B2B,Synchronous and Asynchronous message exchange.It provides openness and transparency to the integration process.XI represents the process integration layer of the netweaver stack.
3.The components of XI are
Integration Builder which contains Repository and directory.
System Landscape Directory
Integration Server
Central Monitoring
Adapter Engine
Just go through these links:

Hi,
What is XI?
Exchange Infrastructure can be used as a Middleware Engine to communicate in a distributed environment. The heart of XI
is Integration Engine that is used for integrating different technologies using Standard Messaging techniques e.g XML.
Different mapping tools are avilable for mapping the distributed system which can be mapped without having any expertice
of Technical Details. As a real world example, XI can be helpful in integrating different banks with SAP R/3. XI Engine
also support previous releases of SAP R/3 like 4.6C and have many more adapters to communicate with legacy systems.
SAP XI is an integration technology and platform for
1. SAP and Non-SAP systems,
2. A2A and B2B scenarios,
3. Synchronous and Asynchronous communication,
4. Cross component Business Process management and it include built-in engine for designing and executing
integration process (Business process).
5. The goal of SAP XI is to provide single point of integration of all systems inside and outside the corporate boundary
across technologies and organizational boundaries.
6. The important feature of XI is openness, flexible and transparency to the integration process. It is based on ESA
and SOA.
7. The overall key concept of SAP XI is to drive integrated business process across heterogeneous and highly dynamic
landscapes in a more manageable cost effective way.
8. The basic idea is to provide runtime infrastructure which allows heterogeneous systems to be tied together with
fewer connections and at the same time, in order to connect those applications and let messages flow from one
application to other, have a centralized storage of integration knowledge
Features:
XI enables you to do the following:- Develop cross-system applications. You can exchange multiple system messages using
the runtime infrastructure and synchronous or asynchronous communication. You can either develop new and
platform-independent interfaces, or connect to existing interfaces at runtime, using adapters. Adjust message values
and structures for the receiver, using mappings. - Centrally maintain the message flow between logical systems in the
system landscape, using logical routing.- Connect the logical receiver to a technical system, using Services; this system
can easily be switched using this abstraction level (technical routing). Describe your system landscape as the basis for
the description of your cross-system business process.
By using the blogs you can learn the XI/PI.
Why we use XI :
1. right now you are using point to point connection which is not the best way.
2. XI is a middleware tool (you can send message to many apdaters:
SOAP, mail, file/ftp ) by XML messages .
3. Error handling and Sloving the error easrier.
4.Integrate with SAP and Non SAP applications..........
5.XI has it's own Monitoring to track the incoming and outgoing messages
6.Synchronous and Asynchronous communication
7.Reusable components
8.Reducing cost of development work in future
9.End to End montoring the messages in SAP XI is great
10.Maintance is easeir .
11.The biggest Advantage of XI is that it supports web services.
12.It has the feature of business process management(BPM) which enables us to impliment the
business logic.
