Difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter

Hi,
I am not very clear on the exact difference between XI adapter and HTTP adapter.
I want to know, when should we use XI adapter and when to use HTTP adapter.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
We use HTTP Adapter in case of the Application is trying to post the HTTP Request message to XI and able to receive the HTTP Message from XI also.
While using the HTTP as Sender , HTTP Sits on ABAP Stack and can able to communicate with the Integration Server Directly, No need of any Adapter here, it is adapterless communication
In Case of Client Proxies
Source application can directly interact with the XI by executing the report in SAP R/3 & will be able to send the XML data to IS,
So no need of the XI Adapter in this case to post xml to XI.
In Case of Server Proxies
Now XI has to post the xml data to the Target Application, here some thing shld be there to establish the medium with the Target System. So we use XI adapter here.
In the receiver case, we need XI Adaper to communicate XI integration Server with the Local Integration Engine( Which we made in SAP R/3's Business system as local IE) to post the data
Basically XI adapter will be used in normal scenarios also to communicate Adapter Engine with Integration Server internally while delivering the msg.
Check this Msg Flow how the XI Adapter is used in Normal Scenarios

Could someone help me to clearly distinguish between SOAP and HTTP adapter?

In which scenarios we can go for HTTP adapter and when to go for SOAP adapter?

Hi Lekshmi !!
A SOAP message will be bundled inside the soap envelope.HTTP is not an adapter in adapter engine whereas soap is an adapter i.e, HTTP doesn't require a communication channel where as SOAP requires.You can send soap messages using some SOAP client.
SOAP Adapter is used to xchange SOAP messages bw remote clients and webservices....
check this link for more differences..
SOAP and HTTP adapter
When you need to Send Data to XI from a Webservice , your SOAP adapter is used.
HTTP adapter is used when you want to post a HTTP request message from a web application to XI.
How can i make use of SOAP Sender Adapter without using any tools like XML Spy etc....
XML SPy is used as a TEST tool when you are sending SOAP information to XI. TO actually send data , you need to configure a webservice and construct a SOAP request message and post the data .
we use SOAP adapter when we need to connect to remote system or use Webservices in these cases we use SOAP adapter.
HTTP Adapter is used by extenal systems to connect to Intergartin server using native HTTP Interface.
the http adapter is a service which is directly connected to integration engine. Adapter Framework (Java) isnt involved. It is much more performant than SOAP adapter.
The SOAP adapter is written in Java and is responsible for the SOAP envelope around the real XML message. You can build/remove that envelope as well in the mapping and use instead http adapter. But standard for webservices is using SOAP adapter.

The difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1

Hello all,
can anybody explain what is the main difference between SOAP adapter and WS adapter in PI 7.1?
I have checked this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/0d/5ab43b274a960de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
but was not able to find the real difference.
Or better, what can I do with WS adapter I can't do with SOAP adapter? What are their advantages/disadvantages?
Thank you all, Igor.

In addition to RM, ws adapter also support other ws standard like SAML which is not available in SOAP adatper. Beside:
if your sender or receiver is SAP system, you can also monitor the message in the sender/receiver in addition to the PI box. This is a very good thing, because sometime the MONI in PI shows nothing wrong, but the MONI in your receiver will show you error message that's only related to the receiver system.
However, if you define ws sender CC, and your ws client doesn't support RM, you will have issue sending ws request.
And ws CC will generate ws runtime in PI box, if your configuration is wrong (like user name and password not correct), even if you correct it, the ws runtime sometime won't be regenated based on the correction. In this case you need to delete the ws CC/agreement, and re-create it with all correct information.
Beside make sure your basis team configured the PI system properly regarding ws. If not, you will have lot of pain to figure the problem which was my case.

Difference between webservices model and adaptive webservices model

hi
Can any one explain me regarding Difference between webservices model and adaptive webservices model.
Thanks

Hi,
In old WS Model, ithere was no concept of logical destinations.
There if you are using a WSDL located on a server and if the location of the WSDL
changes, your application won't run. The deployed application using the WS Model will have trouble finding
the WSDL. As a result you'll have to again import the
model. Moreover old WS Model does not have re-import functionality.
But incase of AWS Model, you can desine logical destinations and even if the location of the WSDL changes, all you have to do is change the new url in the Visual Admin and not import the model again.
You can visit the following link for more details:

How can find the difference between iphone 5 Real Genuine adapter and fake adapter

Can anyone please tell me, How Can Find Difference between iphone 5 Real Genuine adapter and fake adapter....

That's about the only way. Many of the fakes are indistinguishable from genuine without taking them apart. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi-b9k-0KfE Note that BOTH of the adapters in this video are fake. Yet the one on the left looks identical to the "real thing".

Difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter

Hi All,
i am very new to SOA, Let me know the difference between OA Adapter and DB Adapter.
thanks
Hari

The EBS (OA) Adapter is mainly a sort of wrapper around DB and AQ adapter supporting the different interfaces of EBS including Business Events(AQ).
The adapter introspects the Integration Repository. And it sets the responsiblity/application context for you when connecting. The ebs-user and responsibility are set in the wsdl. Using the database adapter you should take care of that yourself.
Honestly, if you're basically using custom-plsql api's or the pl/sql api's of ebs (eg. TCA) then you're perfectly fine with the DB-adapter. The only thing is that you should set the responsiblity in the pl/sql yourself (for example in the intialization block of the pl/sql package).

Difference between File adapter and FTP adapter

hi,
I would like to know what is the difference between File adapter and FTP adapter
thanks
Yatan

Both file and ftp adapters are non-concurrent jca adaps, however we go for file adapters mostly when you have files on your local environment and do not need to wait for someone to FTP the files on a timely basis. In case of FTP Adapter, we would need an FTP Server, a remote location with access where in files pitch in for polling.
Also, File adapter is dependent on the local folder and OS, however FTP adapter is dependent on the local as well as the remote file system/OS/folder permissions/user access.

Diff between Seeburger Adapter and File Adapter

Hi All,
My company needs to interact with some banks and the banks are particular that they want SFTP, which is not supported by File Adapter, so we have decided to go with Seeburger adapter.
Now what are the differences between File adapter and seeburger adapter?
I believe that Seeburger adapter does not support File Content Conversion, Archiving etc.
Could you all pls put some light on the diff between file adapter and seeburger adapter when it comes to dealing with files?
Xier

Hi
You are aware with working of File Adapter.
The most direct way of using the Seeburger adaptors is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to
1. Define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
2. Using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
3. Create a one to one mapping between input en output.
4. Export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
5. Generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
Have a look here,
