Hi Prasad,

Interface objects contain you data types,message types, messages interfaces etc, so all objects you use to define the message structures.

Mapping objects contain you message mappings, interface mappings etc, so all objects you use to convert one message / interface into another.

Hope this helps,

Koen

The Objects required to create interface either for receiver side or sender side like the following are called interface objects , this inteface objects are used to pull in or push out the message to/from the XI-

-- what should be the data type, message Type and other objects

The Objects which comes into picture when there is tranformation/transmission of message is performed from one format to onother like the following are called Mapping Objects

-- Mapping, Inteface Mapping, Java mapping etc

Hi Prasad

<u><b>Mapping Object</b></u>

Mapping programs are required to transform the source data to the target schema format...

There are options for mapping program:

1) Message mapping : Easy to use.. has GUI drag and drop... las limitation in terms of complex hierarchy

2) XSLT / JAVA mapping programs can be created AND IMPORTED IN xi for use

3) ABAP mapping can also be use. it needs to be developed in the ABAP stack as a ABAP Class...

2 and 3 are programatic and you have better flexibility for transformation

<b><u>Interface Object</u></b>

interface objects contain ur DT, MT, and MI for src as well as trg. this means these are the objects that define what "type" of data is going to be sent and received

hi prasad,

interface objects contain ur DT, MT, and MI for src as well as trg. this means these are the objects that define what "type" of data is going to be sent and recevd.

while mapping objects contain MM, IM that is hw src is going to be "mapped" to trg...that is what is the logic--hw the src structure gets converted to trg structure.
