Protocols in XI architecture

[GabrielSagaya]

Please mention the various Protocols like http used in XI architecture????

XI adapters provide an additional, specific technical protocol to facilitate communication with XI.

SAP already provides many adapters such as SOAP, HTTP, RFC, Idoc, etc.

Typically XI adapters are provided by EAI vendors for support of additional protocols.

XI adapters must be implemented as resource adapters of the Java Connector Architecture 1.0 (JCA).

Underlying Protocols for different communications are,

XI proxies --- SOAP.

iDocs and BAPIs --RFC Communication

File system ---FTP/NFS

<b>XI uses SOAP over HTTP to communicate with its other component ,</b>

Hi

If you take the IDOC and RFC Adapters in XI...

suppose RFC : you suppose to call TCP/IP which communicates your R/3 to XI based on the host and service..for IDOC you have to choose type3 connection as well as File.
