XI Adapter 

Purpose

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.

The adapter can be created automatically for business systems that are defined in the System Landscape Directory. See also: Creating Communication Channels Automatically
