The main use of a sender adapter is to convert the input format into an XI supported XML format. Once this is done, the sender agreement appends the header with the sender details. In the case of IDoc adapter, you would not require a sender agrrement or a sender channel for the following reasons

1. The adapter resides on ABAP stack hence the integration server takes care of the IDoc to XML conversion without requirement for adapter.

2. The business system that is sending the adapter has already been assigned to a technical system which normally acts as an Integration server.

3. In the system, you fill in the adapter specific identifiers where you define under the IDoc adapter, the Logical system name and the R/3 client and the number.

Hi

In case of receiver IDoc,V should know the receiver i.e to whom v r sending and wat type if message v r sending.So v are craeting the receiver IDoc.

But for sender the its not neccessary the while trigerring IDoc, it is pushed directly into the integration engine.

well its a very common questions and the most common answer is,coz it sits on ABAP stack:)

well lemme explain a little bit,the main reason for sender agreement is to associate namespace with the sender adapter,now when we shoot IDOC from R/3 it already contains its standard SAP namespace so no need of sender agreement.

now comes the sender CC,main use of sender CC is to identify the sending system and the adapter.the IDOC header contains details of all the this,so again there is no need for sender CC

thanx

Hi JP,

IDOC sits on the ABAP stack so we dont need to configure the communication channel for this adapter. The option given in ID for sender IDOC adapter is only for the purpose of the future enhancements, in case SAP wants us to shift the IDOC adapter from IS.

Thanks,

JP,

IDOC adapter resides on Integration server, so Integration engine takes care of the conversion format from IDOC to XML, hence there is no need for sender Adapter .Also since its residing on Integration server you can directly post the message in the Integration engine.

Hi

iDoc Adapter resides on ABAP stack and hence can communicate directly with Integration Server, for the conversion from IDoc to IDoc XML.Communication Channel is used for communication with the Integration Server which is obtained directly in case of IDoc .Hence Sender idoc adapter is not required and therefore no Sender Agreement.

Thanks
