Hello Praveen,

XI Adapter:

The communication via web service may have advantages, if you want communicate with non XI systems.

In your scenario, there is direct communication between XI engines, so you can go for XI adapter. The XI adapter which is normally used to configure the exchange of messages with in an Integration Server, can be extended to exchange messages between the two Integration Servers in the scenario.

You can use security settings to sign messages and check the signature. You can encrypt and decrypt message payloads

The XI Adapter is used for communication, via direct XML / HTTP message exchange (no message protocol conversion required)

1. With an Integration Engine (ABAP based). Both XI 2.0 and 3.0 protocols are supported

2. With a party using the Partner Connectivity Kit

3. With an Adapter Engine based either on XI 2.0 or 3.0

The XI Adapter is used with the Proxy Runtime (covered in another chapter) when communicating via ABAP or java proxies.

You configure the XI adapter to exchange messages with an Integration Engine. Both XI 3.0 and XI 2.0 message protocols are supported. You also use the XI adapter to exchange messages between SAP Exchange Infrastructure and the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK).

You can use security settings to sign messages and check the signature. You can encrypt and decrypt message payloads.

Features

· To receive XML messages from a sender system, configure the sender XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the Integration Server to the PCK, you must create a sender XI adapter in the PCK.

· To send XML messages to a receiver system, configure the receiver XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the PCK to the Integration Server, you must create a receiver XI adapter in the PCK.

XI Adapter in the Integration Server

A communication channel with a receiver XI adapter can be created automatically for business systems that are defined in the System Landscape Directory

Hi,

This is internally used by Integration server.

The Adapter Engine and XI Integration server use XI Adapter for Internal message communication purpose.
