Underlying communication protocol for XI proxies (ABAP)

[Former Member]

What is the underlying communication protocol for XI proxies (ABAP) ?

So, technically, how does the "actual" communication happen between SAP and XI when using proxies, as opposed to iDocs and BAPIs which use the RFC communication protocol.

And how can you ensure that the proxy communication is "secure" ?

Thanks in advance.

It's http(s), soap-xml based.

What do you mean by <i>secure</i>? Https could be the answer... Or you mean robust, reliable? In this case http, in my opinion, is reliable. But, of course, RFC will always be faster.
