In my early days I also faced these (confusing) terms.

actually online means interface should trigger at the time of application transaction , and offline means interface should trigger periodically independent of application transaction. (it can be synch or asynch).

pl. give your exact requirement for more specialise answer.

Hi,

Are you looking for Push and Pull mechanism of PI?

When the adapters like SOAP, HTTP, IDOC, etc. send the data to PI , it is nothing but a push mechanism, and hence the communication is synchronous by default.

But adapters like JDBC, File, etc. they fetch the data from Source Applications, so it is a kind of Pull mechanism for PI, and

by default communication is asynchrnous.

Pls elaborate exactly what are you looking for?

What do you mean by online and offline modes ??

There can be synchronous & asynchronous scenarios... They are acheived by creating appropraite ServiceInterfaces & Communicaiton channels * Integration Scenario...
