Is the message interface can be Inbound & Outbound at the sametime?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there possibility one Message Interface to be Inbound and Outbound in the same time?

For example, there are the following Messages Interfaces: MI_Person, MI_City, MI_Street,MI_Address ( it is composed of MI_City and MI_Street) , MI_Person_Address (it is composed of MI_Person and MI_Address). In this case MI_Address is Inbound for MI_City and MI_Street , it is outbound for MI_Person_Address.

Is it possible?

Please get back to me with your suggestions,

Regards,

Soorya

Adding to Abhishek,

You can use Abstract interfaces for any business system/service. However, SAP standard recommends us to create inbound/outbound interfaces accordingly...

you can use same data type or message type for outbound or inbound message interfaces,

but in one time only message interface will be outbound or Inbound.

No. Create a Service Interface and you will see it can either be Inbound or Outbound. If you want it to be directionless you have abstract but thats usually used in BPMs.

No, you have to design separate Message Interfaces.

Workaround can be use Abstract Message Interface instead or outbound/ inbound......if using SOAP.

Abhishek.
