>>how the services and communication channels are related conceptually in PI.

you specify the communication channel in sender/receiver agreement and while configuring sender/receiver agreement you have to specify business service/system.

is this what you are looking for or something else?

Thanks

Hi,

The following piece of information is got from help.sap.com

To describe on a logical level which address types communicate with each other, use services. A service can be a business system or an integration process, for example. You can assign multiple services to a communication party or configure a service without a specific communication party.

§ The service does not yet specify any technical details regarding the message exchange. Depending on the type of service, you reference interfaces and one or more communication channels. The latter defines how you can address a communication party technically, for example, which adapters are required.

This means that you can call all technical options and u2018publicu2019 sender and receiver interfaces in a collaboration profile.

How does Communication Party, Services and Communications Channels are related??

If you configure sender/receiver agreement by yourself,you will have better understanding:)

You can define a service with a party or without party,then in this agreement,you define a communication channel.

as simple as that:)

Hi,

it's a 1 to n relationship.

One service could have multiple CCs, but one CC belongs always to one service.

Srinivasan,

Would request to go through SAP Help for clear understanding of all the basics.
