Hi,

Pipe line is nothing but a series of steps each msg pass through before reaching the target. Pipe line is implemented as a set of ABAP objects in XI.

The steps are..

1. Receiver Identification

2. Interface Determination.

3. Message Split

4. Message Mapping

5. Technical Routing

6. Call Adapter...

As the source xml msg enters each step in the pipe line, some changes are made to the xml. for ex. after passing the 1st step <receiver service>, <receiver interface>, <receiver name space node> are added..

Hi,

XI messages are passed through a serious of processing steps called the XI Pipeline.Below are the Processing setps...

SOURCE MESSAGE->Receiver Indentification->Interface determination->Message split->Message mapping->Technical Routing->Call Adapter->TAGET MESSAGE.

An XI pipeline is a configured serious of pipeline services,A pipeline service ia an ABAP objects class that performs a perticular processing step on a message.

All the messages that are received at the integration server are processed in a consistent way,with a single set of monitoring and managemnet transcations,regardless of the underlying platform, technology,or vendor of the application systemas involved in the message exchange.

MySAP alpplications based on SAP Web Application Server vertion 6.20 or higer have their own local instance of the integration engine.This allows the application server to function as a receiver of messages in the nativeXI-SOAP format(via Proxies)

Pipeline is accessed via URL(or through T-code SICF),behind which is an ICF service,The URL for sending a message to the pipeline.Below is the URL link...

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

<host> is the hostname of the integration server,the port is the HTTP listener port of the internet communication manager.

a XI pipeline is series of configured services.

in case u need to check it, in SXMB_ADM - Display Pipeline Definition and in pipeline ID give SAP_CENTRAL and then goto the pipeline element Tab.

Hi,

It is just a flow in which integration server processes the xml messages.

Hi,

<b>

Receiver Determination</b> -- Determine who the receiver / receievrs of the message are

<b>Message Split</b> -- If multiple receivers, split the message for each receiver

<b>Interface determination</b> -- determine the Inbound interface and call the mapping to create target strcutre

<b>Technical Routing</b> -- Determine the Protocol to be used to send the message to the target system

<b>Call Adapters</b>-- Call the corresponding adapter and pass the message to it.
