What is the exact meaning of PAYLOAD?

[Former Member]

It is appearing here all the time.

Who can give an exact definition?

Thanks!

Hi,

to do very simple...

XI works only with a XML message. This last one is composed in two parts (*):

1. SOAP Header (with sender, receiver, interface, etc...)

2. SOAP Body = <b>Payload</b> = your data in XML format

(*) in fact, it's a little more complex, but for a 1st approach, it can be resumed by that...

You can go to help.sap.com and search by payload.

Hi...

Payload is nothing but the data(data type) provided by u

and which is displayed in XML format...

The payload is the actual contents (business data) of a message in the Exchange Infrastructure<b>(this is from the help).</b>

Cheers,

Hi Jennifer,

just have a look at this link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/content.htm

to see how XI messages are build

(their structure)

and you will know where's the payload section

Regards,

michal
