Hi Pankaj,

You can findout the so many links in this forum.

Look into the Pipeline steps,.

Receiver Identification:

To determine which systems should participate in an exchange with the incoming message.

Interface Determination: For each receiver system determine which interface should receive a message.

Message Branch:

If multiple receivers are found, XI instantiate a new message for each receiver

Request Message Mapping:

Call the mapping program to transform the message structure to the receiver format.

Outbound Binding:

Bind a specific destination and protocol to the message.

Call Adapter:

Send the transformed message to the adapter or proxy.

Hi

Check this weblog for full details on how a message flows in XI:

Pipe line is nothing but a series of steps each msg pass through before reaching the target.

When a source message reaches the Integration server

the messages under goes this

a) Receiver Determination:

This steps determines the system that participates in the exchange of the message.

b) Interface Detremination:

For each receiver determine which interface will should receieve the message.

c) Message Split:

If more than one receievers are found, XI will instantiate new message for each receiver.

d) Message Mapping:

Mapping to transform the source message to destination message format.

e) Technical Routing:

Bind a specific destination and protocol to the message.

f) Call outbound Adapter:

Send the transformed message to the adapter or a proxy.

Hi,

as said above, Pipeline steps are the steps followed in PI for processing a message/data. for more details you can refer to the sap help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a1/e9763c997fda50e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

Thanks!

hi,

from technical point of view pipeline step is a class

that does some funcitonality in XI like mapping, receiver det etc.

so the most important thing in XI/PI but you don't need to configure that
