adapter?

when we will use the XI adapter?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

XI Adapter will be used in the following places

1) We will use XI Adapter in case of Receiver Proxies inorder to communicate XI with the IE of SAP R/3

2) Internally in the Message Flow in XI will use XI Adapter between IE---IS and vice versa

Hi,

You 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.

Features

· To receive XML messages from a sender system, configure the sender XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the Integration Server to the PCK, you must create a sender XI adapter in the PCK.

· To send XML messages to a receiver system, configure the receiver XI adapter.

If messages are sent from the PCK to the Integration Server, you must create a receiver XI adapter in the PCK.

XI Adapter in the Integration Server

A communication channel with a receiver XI adapter can be created automatically for business systems that are defined in the System Landscape Directory.

Reward points if helpful.

Hello Rao,

XI adapter are used when youa re using the Proxy's.

Go through this blog: The configuration for the XI Adapter is as shown in this blog

HI

Adapters:

We use adapters to connect other systems to integration server. Apart from idoc adapter all adapters run on adapter engine, it provides services like messaging, queuing, security handling. Adapter converts messages from sender into XI Message format, and converts messages from integration engine to receiver message format.

Adapter engine and pck are based on the adapter frame work with core functions of adapter communication. it supports java connector architecture.

We can use adapter with adapter engine as mediator between adapter and integration engine.

Adapter Framework: It runs on the j2ee stack of the sap web as. It provides functionality for adapter engine and PCK. It supports J2EE Connector architecture. It provides functionality like scalability, thread management, queuing and logging services to adapter engine and PCK.ne.

We use adapters to connect to the legacy systems with kernel of WAS <6.40

Proxies:

we use proxies with kernel WAS >6.40

We can use proxies to communicate with integration engine

Proxies are objects (classes & methods) generated from a language.

Proxy communication starts with objects in integration repository and adapter communication starts with application system.

Advantages of Proxies:

Basically proxies are used for adapter less communication & main purpose of it is to bypass adapter engine.

Proxy generation enables you to create proxies in application systems. Proxies encapsulate the creation or parsing of XML messages and the communication with the relevant runtime components required to send or receive the messages. The proxy runtime controls these processes and can itself be controlled in application programs by means of additional methods.

If we have requirement for a scenario like XI----

>XI then we can go 4 the XI Adapter

XI adapter is used at the Proxy communication and in b/w the Integration engine and Adapter engine internally

uses the XI adapter

Hi,

Adapters enable the Integration Engine and the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) to communicate with different applications.

You only require an adapter to communicate with SAP systems older than Release 6.20 and with external systems. A direct system connection using proxies and without additional adapters is supported for SAP systems that are based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20 or higher.

Adapters connect the Integration Engine to SAP legacy systems, as well as to external systems.

In this way, adapters integrate existing SAP components with SAP Exchange Infrastructure, for example. In the process, XML and HTTP-based documents are converted to IDocs (IDoc adapter) and RFCs (RFC adapter) and the other way around. This enables you to integrate your existing SAP infrastructure with the new SAP infrastructure, which is based on system integration and the exchange of XML messages.

The plain HTTP adapter gives application systems the option of communicating with the Integration Engine and exchanging business data in a simple format, using an HTTP connection.

Furthermore, the J2EE-based Adapter Engine provides you with various adapters that you can use to connect external systems to your Integration Engine. You can use these adapters to convert XML and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocols and formats of the respective external systems and the other way around. You can specify generic modules for adapters in the Adapter Engine in the module processor. These modules give the adapters additional functions. Modules describes the modules shipped by SAP.

Hi,

Xi adapter used for post the data directly to the integration engine.

If we have a requirement XI--XI scenarios we ill go with the XI adapter.

Hi,

for general questions like this please search in SDN.

It's for example explained in SAP Help:

Hi,

XI adapter are used in case of Proxies. If u r using Java or ABAP proxies, on the Receiver side. On the sender side we do not need Adapters for proxies.
