Hi,

You can 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.

The RFC adapter enables you to use the functions of the Integration Engine or the PCK in existing SAP landscapes. It is used by SAP systems to connect to the Integration Engine or the PCK by using the RFC interface. It supports SAP systems as of version 3.1x

Sridhar,

you may have warpper BAPI or BAPI in our SCM and which is used to create ABAPProxy out of our BAPI to send data from XI to SCM . as they their sending data to ABAP Proxy they might have used XI adapter?

XI adapter is used in case the data is being transfer via a proxy. In you case i gues the RFC is being used in a ABAP proxy and the ABAP proxy is being triggered.
