Hi

The Port can be a File Port (IDocs will be saved in this folder)

Ports are use to define the way data is send (or received) from another partner (e.g. other system).

- Port type Transactional RFC defines an RFC Destination.

- Port type File defines a file and directory (and a function module that does the record handling for your output file)

- Port type CPI-C defines an SAP R/2 system and transmission parameters.

- Port type Internet, allthough in the system is no longer supported (See SAP note 315083).

- Port type ABAP-PI defines a function module that will do the transmission. This is often used if you want total control over the sending (or receiving) process.

- XML defines a file and directory (and a function module) specific to XML formatted files. The XML-HTTP leaves out the file and can transmit directly to a website location
