IDOC and HTTP Adapters - sender agreement ??

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I do understand that we don't need to use sender agreement for IDOC and HTTP adapters, because they are sitting right on the ABAP stack. But we do use receiver adapter and receiver agreements even though these two adpaters on abap stack. I am not 100% getting cleared why we don't use sender agreement for IDOC and Http adapters. Please some one clarify me.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

>>>>I do understand that we don't need to use sender agreement for IDOC and HTTP adapters,

we can create them and sometimes we need too

(if we want to use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes

for the http adapter for example)

check

section <b>Obligatory Sender Agreements</b>

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b1/f29e7a56e18a439984a3c6630951d2/content.htm

read the link above to understand why we use

sender agreements (security, adapter attributes)

and you'll understand it all
