hi Suresh,

There are 2 engines in XI ~ ABAP and J2EE engine.

A few tasks are carried out by XI in the ABAP engine and a few others in the JAVA engine.

The J2EE engine in turn cotains the ADAPTER Engine and all your Adapters Interact with this engine.

The only adapters that interact directly with the INTEGRATIONE ENGINE / ABAP Engine are the IDOC and HTTP adapters.

All the other adapters like File, RFC, JDBC , JMS , XI, BC, Mail, etc reside on the Adapter Engine and forms the Adapter Framework in XI.

Hi,

Which adapter do you want to configure? You have idoc, http, file, soap, jdbc, mail etc adapters. For general information about adapters and the different kinds navigate through this link:

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ae/d03341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Adapters</a>

Applications based on SAP WAS 6.20 or higher can communicate with xi via proxies, for all other apps for instance legacy sap systems communicate with XI via adapters, the adapter framework is provided for effecting this communication. The adapter architecture is J2EE based and the adapter engine is installed on the integration server.

Regards,

Chandra

HI Suresh,

Adapter engine is based on java stack.

All these adapters which we have are nothing

but JAVA beans. So there are some standard

jar files which are required for these

java beans(Adapters) to run properly.

Those required jar files constitutes the Adapter Framework on which the adapters are running.

The adapter framework and Adapters in Xi

are based on JCA(J2ee connectivity architechture).

This is a global standard which helps any third party vendor to build adapter of its own which is JCA complaint ,so that it can be easily plugged into XI adapter Engine.

If you want to deploy an adapter other than that

provided by SAP,you will have to refer the

corresponding guide provided by the vendor.

For default adapters they get deployed

automatically with XI.

Specifically for JMS and JDBC adapter you have

to add the vendor specific jar files to jmsproviderlib.sda and modify the provider.xml file.

Please refer this link for more details on this.
