hi

Proxies are essentially the APIs, or the programming lines of code, that are generated for the target application language like ABAP/JAVA/.Net.

These application languages use "executable interfaces" to exchange messages in SOAP/XML with external applications.

As we know, the role of SAP XI’s integration broker is basically to integrate SAP and non-SAP systems, as in the integration of an SAP R/3 system with a database using adapters. SAP XI provides various adapters to integrate different types of systems.

But in some of real-time scenarios, it’s not always a particular type of business system that has to send/receive messages with SAPXI; it can also be an application like ABAP or Java. To cater to these needs, SAP XI provides different ways to generate interfaces in ABAP and JAVA – and these interfaces are known as proxies.

ABAP proxies are generated using the transaction SPROXY (in SAP Web AS 6.20 and above); for Java proxies, the Integration Builder tool is used.

1.outbound proxy knowns as client proxy,

2. and inbound proxy is knowing as server proxy. in client proxy client is sending data to XI and in server proxy Xi is passing the data to any aplication/server. .

Thanks
