Application adapters Vs Technical adapters

[Former Member]

What are the constraints involved in using Application adapters against Technical adapters? Why do we go for Technical adapters most of the times?

Thanks.

Hi ,

Application adapter are speicific to application suppose if you take R/3 as application then use application adapters RFC,IDOC.

Techincal adapters are common adapter such FILE,HTTP,JDBC.

You can use both ie depends on the application system.

Techincal adapter are used where can interact with any application regardless of aplication speicifc adapters.

Most of the we go for techincal adapter because no need to buy or create appllication adapters as these are extra cost when we are able to do with techincal adapters which are provided by SAP by deafult so no need to go for application adapters

Hi,

application adapters are application-specific like IDOC for R/3 systems. So the constraint with application adapters is you cant use them with other type of system. This is why technical adapter is mostly used like File adapter because they can communicate with differnet types of systems - you can use file adapter to send a file to a Windows system, Unix system etc.
