Hi All,

I have the following doubt.

XI repository objects are client dependent or independent.

Yes.They will not get affected until the objects are imported and there will be lot of work that has to be done for you to get it affected..:)..It is not so easy..:).

You can take it for granted that any modifications in dev will not affect qa or px5..:)

Venu,

Is your question about installing 2 XI instances or 2 clients on the integration server?

If you are speaking about client dependent or inpendent object I infer that basically you are speaking about 2 integration clients.

You can configure XI to have two clients (100,105) etc and we can test the proxy from the other client.We have done that and it is very much possible.

I donot feel there is much use of configuring two clients as the IR and ID are having only one client and we cant configure them on two different clients.May be this feautre is some thing which might be expecting from SAP XI product team in the future as it will be useful when we need to point the ID &IR objects(atleast for ID) to point to different SAP sand boxes during the XI implementation cycle as we need not re-configure the entire scenarios when we need to point 2 different sender and reciever systems simultaneosly.

Hi Sravya,

Thank u very much for responding.

Here i Suggested my basis gui based on the suggestions earlier i got from this post.

I suggested the following things.

1) Install 3 instances DEV/QAV/PRD one clinet in each of the instance..

2) For the question they have raised regarding my IR/ID objects Client Dependent / Independ, I answerd both are client Independent and we can transport the objects from one instance to another.

3) here the confusion for them is if they are client independent , if we do change in ur objects that might effect in other instance objects since they are client independent. I told them unless we transport the objects from one instance to other there would not be any problem.

Please confirm my answer. and suggest.

Thanks,

venu.

Hi Michal,

They are going to install xi, doubt raised by the person who is going to install XI.

What can I suggest him.

both IR/ID objects are client Independent?

Both, but your Integration Server anyway will only be configured to run on a single client, which is just called "Integratiobn Server client". This is the one configured in SLD under the business system of your XI box.

Hi Alessandro,

are you sure you can create two business systems

defined as integration server on one technical system?

as far as I remember you cannot do that

but I might be wrong...

BTW

I've never seen two XIs on the same instance yet

but I'm happy about it

Michal, Venu,

That was exactly what I was trying to tell, maybe I wasn't that clear.

As far as I know, on ONE XI instance you'll have just ONE Integration Server. I don't even know what another client could be used for...

Just once on a project I wanted to invoke inbound proxy with ABAP code on XI itself, and the error I got said something like: "You cannot use Inbound Proxy in the client where IS is running", from which I guessed another client could have been created and used. Btw, I simply changed to RFC, which is allowed.

Take care,

Alex

Hi,

>>>in the client where IS is running", from which I guessed another client could have been created and used. Btw, I simply changed to RFC, which is allowed.

but this might be something else:

sure you cannot use proxies on IE client

but.... you can use proxies on any other client

<b>on this instance</b> (which are configured as application systems) - this is for sure

but Venu is asking how to do two XIs on one instance I believe...

Hi Alex,

Thank u very much.

Here I conveyed my mesaage to the technical team , that

1. Right now no need to create extra client in each instance (DEV/QAV/PRD).

2. All XI objects are client Independent so when we transport from DEV to QAV then only QAV box data will be modifes . this is same to QAV/PROD.Unless we transport from one box to another data will not be changed even if they are client independent I added.

3. Here I'm not able to convey my understanding to the Technical team , the difference between Client dependent and Clinet Independent relates to transport mechanism.

Pls confirm thease issues.

It seems to me we are keeping on quoting ourselves saying the same things...

Anyway,

> but Venu is asking how to do two XIs on one instance

> I believe...

I don't think it's supported, and I don't see the reason for it. If the aim is less hardware costs, maybe two instances on the same host (such as dev and tst) could be advisable.

(That was referred to Michal's post.

Regarding Venu's 3 points, at a glance I'd confirm. And regarding the transport of IR/ID objects crawl sdn... There's a lot of literature: the most exciting story is using JDI)
