Hi Experts,

I often get confused with the Party and Service without Party in Integration directory. What is the difference between these two? When to use Party and When to use Service without party?

Kindly help!

Thanks

Hi,

you need to use a party when you want to change some header fields

of your XI message (when communicating in B2B scenarios for example)

with party you can also use IDOC partner profiles other then LS

(like LI, VN)

but in most cases in A2A scenarios you never use the party object
