SAP ALE IDocs Interview Question:

What is the main difference between interfaces and XI, I think both are cross-applications right? What is the exclusive difference?

According to my knowledge in SAP XI we have so many kind of
control levels to process the message. For instance i will
discuss on few points, like
1) Here using XI we can communicate with the SAP or Non-SAP
at sender side or reciever side.
2) XI supports both Syncronus and asyncronus communications
3) in XI we can find the status of the message where it is
during the process of Message processing.
4) We have so many kinds of monitoring techniques.
5) Here we can have N number of senders and N number of
recievers based on your requirement.
6) It supports to process multiple messages at a time from
different senders to multiple recievers.
So I feel we cant perform all these things in
Interfaces.That is the reason XI come into picture.
