Display WSDL in ID with difference URL for send SOAP scenario

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have one question here about Display WSDL tool in ID.

The first step is to specify the Integration Server SOAP Inbound Channel (URL).

Refering to the help document this URL can be either the Integration Server or an Adapter Engine.

However by simply click Propose URL option, the URL given automatically is pointing to the Integration Engine only.

http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

Does this mean in this case, no sender SOAP adapter channel is required?

And the further question is what is the difference between URL to IE and AE.

Here i know the URL format are different, my question is what is the major difference in the processing process?

And what are the pros and cons of giving different URL when Display WSDL?

Thanks in advance. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Does this mean in this case, no sender SOAP adapter channel is required?

If it will be connecting directly to the integration engine, yes. No sender adapter is required.

And the further question is what is the difference between URL to IE and AE.

The advantages and disadvantages are summed up in Stefan's blog below:
