it is as per defined in the Integration directory

messages starts from

Communication channel

sender agrmnt

interface determination/receiver determination

[prateek]

Usually the sender sends the data to the adapter engine using sender communication channel. In integration directory, you need to specify which sender channel uses which sender business system/ business service and which sender interface to receive data from sender. So when data is sent from any external system, the sender agreements are checked and based on it messages are processed further.

Thanks for ur answer...

But how sender knows SENDER COMM CHANNEL.

For determining SENDER COMM CHANNEL u need SENDER BUISINESS SYSTEM, SENDER INTERFACE and SENDER NAMESPACE.

I ll take an example an explain you. Each adapter work in its own distinct way. Broadly, there could be 2 types of adapters. One which polls data like file and jdbc or other which sends the data directly like soap.

In case you are using file adapter, XI initiates the call by polling the file system and so in this case XI directly polls it using sender agreements and channel. For such channels, if the sender agreement is configured then it is enough to poll the data.

Now assume that you are using SOAP sender. In this case sender initiates the call. Here the soap sender (client) sends data using a URL which includes the message interface, namespace and business system information. Therefore based on these details, XI determines the channel
