Performance of XI Interfaces

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am doing performance testing for this synchronous interface

SOAP -> XI -> RFC -> XI -> SOAP

Sometimes I encounter this problem when a request takes more than 10sec to get a response.

When I go into SXMB_MONI and look at the performance header and I noticed that the HTTP_SEND alone takes nearly 10sec. :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

My questions are:

1. What is this HTTP_SEND doing?

2. How can I improve the performance in this case?

Please help.

Thank you.

Thanks chilla, I think I understand what a SOAP request over HTTP means.

But how is this used in our context?
