Hi,

Addition to above Check the application of the sender system or target system ...

TCP/IP communication is over network layer but not at application layer...

I faced a similar situation earlier with one of the vendor who provided the application to us...and we used the database and from there we fetched the data instead of notification requests via TCP/IP...

so ask him to store the data in database or use http request to send the notifications if used to send some notificatins...

TCP/IP is a connection oriented network protocol. TCP - Transmission control protocol IP - internet protocol.

TCP/IP is a 7 layers model and the top layer is a application layer where all the applications or services are supported such as file, HTTP, Webservice etc.... PI adapters are application layer services. SO PI can support all the current adapters.

>>wat adapter do we have to use in XI?? pls help

Since TCP/IP establishes connectivity between one system to another system using network protocol, PI can use that connection for communication. You can use any adapter that PI supports. please elaborate your question.
