I.R Questions

[Former Member]

Hi,

Under Adapter Objects in I.R

1. What is Adapter Metadata and Use of it?

2. What is Communication Channel Templates and Use of it?

Other Topic:

In a RFC to File Scenario, I Created RFC Destination of Type <b>T</b> with ProgramID.

a.What is ProgramID means?

b.In what other situations we use ProgramID, i know only about RFC Sender?

Thanks

Hi Seshu,

I thought i will give you the answer to a question that i have made on "Basic Dought.. In Integration Repository ", it will not only answer your questions but will also give you some aditional information.....

I have taken some time off for you and have given the best possible explanation for all the doubts you can possibly have related to IR.

<b>Integration Scenarios:</b>

An integration scenario completely models the exchange of

messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ec/21ee117a909f44a8b69794b9ed6221/frameset.htm

<b>Integration Processes</b>

An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.

You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).

<u>Interface object</u></b>

<b>1. message Interfaces</b>

ou use a message interface to describe a platform-independent or programming-language-independent interface, which you want to use to exchange messages between application components using SAP Exchange Infrastructure.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/55/c5633c3a892251e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

<b>

2. message type</b>

A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type

<b>

3. fault message types</b>

Fault message types are designed for application-specific errors that occur on the inbound side and that are reported back to the sender or persisted in monitoring.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/b7623c6369f454e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

<b>4. data types</b>

A data type is a basic unit for defining the structure of the data for a message type and, as a result, for the message to be exchanged.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/04623c4f69b712e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

exchangefaultdata and exchangeLogData

All fault message types reference the data type ExchangeFaultData for this part and, indirectly, the data type ExchangeLogData. These data types are automatically created in a namespace when you create the first fault message type there.

<b>

5. Datatype Enhancements</b>

SAP applications enable customers to enhance application source code without making modifications and thus to meet customer-specific requirements that are not provided for in the standard shipment. The applications can use Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for this purpose. Furthermore, if customers use applications that exchange messages by using XI, they can define data type enhancements for Integration Repository data types.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/bfc6373c8fea43bdb3541535bcbd43/frameset.htm

<b>6. Context Objects</b>

Context objects are a simple alternative to XPath expressions for accessing the contents of a message.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d6/e44fcf98baa24a9686a7643a33f26f/frameset.htm

<b>

7. External Definitions</b>

External definitions enable you to import WSDL, XSD, and DTD documents to the Integration Repository so that you can access the message definitions they contain as external messages.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/ce49ef1019087ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

<b><u>Mapping Objects</u>

</b>

<b>Interface Mapping</b>

Interface mappings register your mapping program for an interface pair in the Integration Repository.

Please go through this link for further reference:

Message Mapping</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d9/cea942ad920c31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

<b>

Mapping Templates</b>

Just like you can reuse data types in different message types, you can also save parts of message mappings as Mapping Templates and reuse them elsewhere. Once you have saved a mapping template it serves as a copy template that you can then load into other message mappings and modify to fit your requirements.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/2835b7848c458bb42cf8de0bcc1ace/frameset.htm

<b><u>Adapter Objects</u></b>

<b>Adapter Metadata</b>

With adapter metadata you can define configuration data needed for a certain type of adapter at design time. Adapter metadata define the part of a communication channel that is specific to the adapter type.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/12/f9bb2fe604a94cbcb4c50dc510b799/frameset.htm

<b>Communication Channel Template</b>

You can preconfigure a communication channel with a communication channel template. You can use the communication channel template as a template to define a communication channel at configuration time.

Please go through this link for further reference:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bd/6af766076e384ebdce621d25161184/frameset.htm

I am sure i have clearly explained your doubts.

Hi,

Program ID is used when you are doing a RFC server. As you said one is RFC sender, in this case it is RFC server. Simillarly if you want to communicate to any external program like C, VB or Java program you use this Program ID. If you are using a C/Java programs you will be specifying the executables as the Program ID. You can also use this to trigger any external applications/executables whicih are residing in the presentation server/application server or any registerd programs. Even the communication with the SLD takes place this way checkout the SAPSLDAPI in the SM59 under TCP/IP which is used to communicate to SLD from ABAP stack. In the SAPSLDAPI you also see a registerd program which is registerd in visual admin.

Hope this helps. For more info refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/33/f26a3990e1fd17e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
