XI to XI

Question

Hi Experts,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the XI adapter for XI to XI?  In this case, XI(localhost) receives the message (from a marketplace), process and sends the message back to XI(localhost).  Later on this message gets polled by another (file) service and gets sent to a backend system.
We opt to use an XI to XI flow since we need to use an xslt program to produce/populate tags based on some criteria.
Currently though,  I used the file adapter for this requirement.  I tried using the XI adapter however I am getting some error.  Any advise please if the XI adapter is applicable for this scenario?
Thank you!
Regards,
Lex

hi,
If there is a File System associated with another XI system (say XI2) then you don't need a XI adapter to connect to it....also I don't think there is any restriction of using/not using a XSLT program with File adapter.....so you can very well use the File adapter itself....just make sure that the sender XI system (XI1) is able to connect to the File System....
For more info on XI to XI integration you can refer this:

Re: Xi-to-Xi-scenario
Actually there are many threads describing the XI to XI integration....just search and check out if any of these suits your needs.
