Hi Santosh,

SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other.Its a part of Netweaver Stack.

And for all doubts there is a Forum for XI
