Choosing an adapter

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

In my current scenario I'm connecting a 2rd part software. I'm sending IDOC to the 3rd party using SOAP and Receiving XML in the SAP XI server from the 3rd party using the HTTP adapter. But the client is not convienced with the current solution provided as there is always a security issue with the adapter.

Client suugests to use the TRFC adapter as the SAP XI receiver adapter.

Please suggest which adapter will suit the best to my scenario. and also please explain the constraints of the adapter in details.

Regards....

If security is the issue then you can consider the option of using the SOAP receiver adapter with some additional settings as mentioned here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/56/992d4142badb2be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Hi Abhishek,

What do you suggest, which adapter shall I use and why ? because client is asking to use TRFC adapter. we have to give the solution that which adapter we'll be using and why & also how it is going to serve better in all the ways like performance & security.

Nayak,

I didnot heard anythign about TRFC adapter till now. If the client is concerned about the security then you guys can go with HTTPS communication instead of normal HTTP in SOAP and HTTP adapters. With HTTPS everything will be secure.

For using HTTPS you need to first install the certificates and then should get signed by a third party like verisign etc. You need to enable the HTPPS communicaiton in both java and abap stack because you are using both soap and http adapters. To enable them you can also see this doucment:
