HI
SAP XI focuses on cross-system process integration u2013 the exchange of messages between applications.
SAP XI runs on the Web Application Server (WAS).
It is a component of SAP Netweaver with an open architecture that enables us to integrate a wide range of SAP and non-SAP systems within and outside our companyu2019s boundaries.
A goal of the Exchange Infrastructure is to provide a single point of integration for all systems, SAP and non-SAP, inside and outside the corporate boundary.
SAP XI is an integration technology and platform u2026
u2022For SAP and non-SAP applications
u2022For A2A and B2B scenarios
u2022For asynchronous and synchronous communication
u2022For cross-component and Business Process Management
The focus of SAP Netweaveru201904 is the integration of people, information and process in one solution. XI represents the process integration layer of the NetWeaver Stack, and is a crucial element of the Enterprise Service Architecture.
The overall key concept of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure is to drive integrated and business processes across heterogeneous and highly dynamic IT landscape in a more manageable and cost effective way.
With the SAP Exchange Infrastructure and collaborative business, SAP approaches the integration challenge from a different angle. The basic idea is to provide a 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 message flow from one application to the other, have a centralized storage of the integration knowledge.
Advantages
XI is open and flexible; it uses web standards such as Web Services Description Language (WSDL), XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) and SOAP messaging for describing objects and communicating with other systems. Generally, it use open, XML based standards for integration.
Benefits
u2022Leverage existing investments
u2022Arrive at new integration landscape in an evolutionary manner.
u2022Allow easy and non-disruptive addition of new services and processes.
u2022SAP XI mainly drives to reduce the TCO by reducing the integration and maintenance cost of the system
u2022SAP XI provides a central repository for all the interfaces.
SAP Applications Using XI
The following applications now use XI:
u2022xApps (Such as xRPM, Resource and Program Management)
u2022MDM (SAP Master Data Management)
u2022SRM (SAP Supplier Relationship Management)
u2022CRM (SAP Customer Relationship Management)
u2022BI (SAP Business Intelligence)
u2022R/3 Enterprise (for Industry Standard Support)

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.
Follow the above(others given) links for different scenarios.

Hi
XI exchange Infrastructure?
This is a middleware used to establish communication betweesn two Systems in a Hetrogeneous IT LandScape.Using XI communication(Exchange of messeges) between SAP-SAP, SAP-NonSAP, NonSAP-NonSAp, Systems can be done.
XI Understand only XML messeges.The input message coming form source System will get converted into XML (with the help of different adapters(communication channels )avaolable in XI)and the XML message will get into XI Integration engine.Now at the reciever side the XI will through an XML message as an output and again with the help of suitable adapter the XML message will be converted according to the reciever System format.
XI Infracture mainly has :
(1)Integration Repository
Where all the desigen of objects (EX. Data Type,Message Type,Message Interface,Message Mapping,Interface Mapping)is done to provide structure and direction to the Messages.
(2)Integration Directory
This contains all the configuration part which includes the Sender System,Reciver System,Communication Channels where adapters are used,Reciver Determination(Who is the reciver for a particular message)etc.
(3)Integration Scenario
(a)Integration Engine.
(b)Adapter Engine.
(c)Business Process Management.
(4)Syatem Landscape Directory.
This stores all the information and provides to the Integration Repository Objects.
(1.) XI provides security as it deals in XML .
(2.) XI provides monitoring facilities to monitor the message at different steps.
Purpose
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, uses open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers those services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape:
● Modeling and design of messages, transformations, and cross-component integration processes
● Configuration options for managing collaborative processes and message flow
● Runtime for message and process management
● Adapter Engine for integrating heterogeneous system components
● Central monitoring for monitoring message flow and processes
SAP XI supports internal company scenarios and cross-company scenarios.
Features
SAP XI is based on general standards so as to enable external systems to be integrated. At the center of the infrastructure is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). The application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML (eXtensible Markup Language) schema from the sender to the receiver using the Integration Server.
In the above graphic, Integration Broker is an SAP NetWeaver capability (that is, the features for a technological area of SAP NetWeaver) that is supported by SAP XI. The Integration Server, on the other hand, is an XI runtime component.
Senders and receivers that exchange messages using the Integration Server are separated from one another. This separation makes it easier to connect systems that are technologically different. Every system that can exchange messages with the Integration Server can also exchange messages with all other systems that are connected to the Integration Server. SAP XI supports the following methods of communication with the Integration Server:
● Direct communication using proxies, which you generate in the application systems using a description in WSDL (Web Service Description Language).
● Communication using adapters. In this case, you create interfaces for message exchange in the application system, or use existing interfaces.
Simple message processing on the Integration Server is stateless. This means that the Integration Server does not know of any connections between various messages. Cross-component integration processes, on the other hand, describe related processes, which can use the knowledge about messages that have already been processed to further control the process (for example, waiting for the corresponding response for a message in order to start further actions). You can use SAP XI to model, change, and manage these cross-component integration processes centrally. These processes are executed on the Integration Server and are included in message processing by configuration.
As with cross-component integration processes, you save the entire integration knowledge of a collaborative process centrally in SAP XI: Objects at design time in the Integration Repository and objects at configuration time in the Integration Directory. In this way, SAP Exchange Infrastructure follows the principle of shared collaboration knowledge: You no longer need to search for information about a collaborative process in each of the systems involved, but can call this information centrally instead. This procedure considerably reduces the costs for the development and maintenance of the shared applications.

Hope this is usefull
Thanks
