Hi Folks,Yesterday I have read about XPI Inspector and have used it for the first time. I have found this very interesting. Although many of you may be aware of it but also I feel there are many people who may not be aware of this. So I thought I would share few points I learnt.To start with, XPI Inspector is basically a tool developed by SAP which is a web application for collecting information about XI-related configurations and traces.The tool also performs certain number of configuration checks, such as SSL client/server verification.Which checks are executed depends on the selected example or the type and properties of the selected XI communication channelsThe tool does not do any configuration changes on the system. All collected information is saved on the file system of the central Java instance and is available for review.Note that in order to perform some checks, such as verification of SSL client connections, the tool automatically opens a dummy https or ftps connection to the remote ssl serverSeveral additional general options are available for selection:1.
