XI sync communication

hi,

what are the advantages and limitations of using synchronous communication on an XI perspective.

thanks in advance

Using a synchronous scenario is driven by the business requirments.

Synchronous messages assures the sender that it has been recieved by the target host appropriately.

Contrary,Sending System has to wait until it gets a response from the target host by delaying the operations that has to be performed.So we need to tradeoff with performance.

Asynchronous messages are persisted and synchronous are not persisted meaning re-starting messages when error occurs is not possible.

Further disadvantages of sync communication:

- Messages can't be sent to multiple receivers

- Receiver can't be offline while message is sent

- Packing of messages is not possible
