Hi,

Idoc and the Http adapters are implemented in ABAP and reside directly on the IS i.e the ABAP stack, the monitoring of these adapters does not go through the RWB and you have to use seperate ABAP transcations to monitor them. Whereas the SOAP adapter is hosted on the J2EE adapter engine.

To know about how to configure these adapters:

Hi Pavan,

Just go through the parameters one requires to fill in while configuring the adapters.

Please note--. you dont need to configure sender http and sender idoc channel.these two run on Integration engine and not on Adapter engine.

Please go through the different ALE IDOC configuration steps required in R3 side to post an Idoc to XI.

please got hrough this weblog for this.

/people/saravanakumar.kuppusamy2/blog/2005/01/20/configuration-tips-for-a-business-serviceintegration-process-to-send-back-ale-audit-idoc

Also see how to configure REciever Idoc channel.

Soap message consists os soap header and soap body.

Soap header conrains all the sender information and soap body has the actual message.It is sent through http protocol.

Hope this helps,

All the best
