Hey

hope the following definitions help u

Sender agreement:

This is used to make sure that the sender of ur file has agreed to use the sender communication channel.

Receiver agreement

This is used to make sure that the receiver of ur file has agreed to use the receiver communication channel.

Receiver determination

Used to determine who is the receiver of ur messages(you can have multiple receivers too)

Interface determination

Used to determine which interface ur gonna use for the specific receiver,as everything in XI uses interfaces and its the outermost layer of the messages(same holds for Message Interface too)

thanx

Hi,

a) Receiver Determination:

This steps determines the system that participates in the exchange of the message.

b) Interface Detremination:

For each receiver determine which interface will should receieve the message.

c) Message Split:

If more than one receievers are found, XI will instantiate new message for each receiver.

d)Sender Agreement:

How the message of a sender is to be transformed so that it can be processed by the Integration Engine

e) Technical Routing:

Bind a specific destination and protocol to the message.

f) Call outbound Adapter:

Send the transformed message to the adapter or a proxy.

Hi sree,

u need to give Receiver of ur message in <b>receiver determination</b>....if u hv more than one recivers of ur messages then u can also do this with condition

in receiver determination we give sender service, sender interface and receivers

now we must provide inbound interface( interface/structre of receiver)...so we provide it in <b>interface determination </b>

<b>Sender agreement </b>contains sender communication channel...that is one who can understand message from sender...eg if ur sender is file ur sender Comm channel will b file.

Similarly <b>Receiver agreement </b>contains receiver communication channel...that is one who can convert message understandable to receiver...eg if ur receiver is RFC ,ur receiver Comm channel will b RFC.

is it clear??? if not u can ask again....we r here to help u

Thanks,

Maheshwari.

Hi Sree,

the agreements are the routing because they are close to their comminication channels.

The determinations have the tasks

a) who should receive the message?

b) how should the message be received/mapped?

Best is to make a screenshot of all and pin them on a big paper. Then you understand the connection between these objects
