Hi Karthik,

As per as my knowledge,

Integration Server (SAP WebAS) it centrally configured on Integration Engine , Business process engine, Central Adapter Engine. it contains ABAP stack and Java Stack.

Integration Engine :This is runtime environment on XI. it is responsible for routing, messaging, mapping, queuing,transportaion services for XML messages.

Integration Engine is on ABAP Stack.

Business Process Engine: it handles the BPM and various integration process designed in XI. the working of BPM's is completly based on Business process engine.

BPE is on ABAP Stack.

Central Adapter Engine: The adapter engine enables you to handled functions of various adapters available in XI . the adapter engine contains the adapter framework for messaging , queuing, security handling services, and connectivity to the Integration Server.

Central Adapter Engine is on JAVA stack.

Regard's

Hi,

Intergration Server <-- it contains an Integration Engine

and

Integration Engine is a runtime of XI

(so it processes messages)

and

runtime uses pipeline services to process those messages

and pipeline services are ABAP classes <- so it's on ABAP stack

The Integration Server runs and depends on the SAP Web Application Server. Most parts of the Integration Server run within the ABAP part but mapping is realized in Java. The mapping part is a registered RFC server that runs within the J2EE part using JCO.

The Integration Engine routes the messages and performs the necessary mappings.

The BPE is responsible for the execution of the Integration Process

The Adapter Engine deals with the message flow in XI. The AE is based on the integrated J2EE of the SAP WAS. It allows for central configuration and monitoring of all adapters, even those that r installed de-centrally. AE includes its own security, message processing and message queuing.

Thanks
