Regarding communication channel

[Former Member]

we will not create communication channel while

using HTTP/Idoc Adapter. but why should we require comm channel while receiver is SAP system?

Hi Praveen,

IDoc Adapter resides on ABAP stack and hence can communicate directly with Integration Server, for the conversion from IDoc to IDoc XML.Communication Channel is used for communication with the Integration Server which is obtained directly in case of IDoc .Hence Sender idoc adapter is not required and therefore no Sender Agreement.

In case of IDOC adapter as receiver to tell the XI where he should

send the data - there are many systems to which we can connect our XI and somewhere there has to be an object which will tell thx XI "where to" -> which RFC destination should it use.

Why does PI provide sender HTTP channel.Are there any specific uses for it

Basically when SAP itself is sending the data we don't need any communicaatioon channel

But when some other system is sending the data it should be converted into idoc format so we need reciver comm channel .

ANd more ever the HTTP and IDoc does not come under JAVA stack and hence these two adapters do not need sender communication channels and sender agrrements

Hi,

IDOC & HTTP adapters are working in JAVA stack that why data reach directly to integration server after integration engine. At the time of sending data indirectly we are giving receiver information that why no need communication channels.

But in reverse transaction we need receiver parameters to send data that why we are using adapters.

I hope now clear

hi,

the IDOC /HTTP adapter is part of abap stack , thus can directly communicate with the IE.

here the abap code is responsible to convert IDOC format to IDOC xml format.

but in the receiver side we need to tell the xi that how the idoc xml is tansformed into idoc format.what is the st of idoc

and we also need tell to which system this idoc need to deliver.

HTTP & IDOC - Because they lie on ABAP stack ie on Integration Engine...so that they can process directly but other adapter lies on Adapter engine.

for other example

SOAP - J2ee stack. Hence it cant be a part of the IS pipeline( ABAP)

Hello Praveen

You need to configure the receiver IDoc adapter to convert Integration Server contents from IDoc XML to native IDoc format and to forward the IDocs to an SAP system or subsystem by using the standard tRFC IDoc interface.
