Hi All,

can u plz tell me how adapters work internally

if we are implementing file to file scenario then what process actually go in the backend.

Thanks,

HI Anushree

<i>if we are implementing file to file scenario then what process actually go in the backend.</i>

When a source message reaches the Integration server, it performs 6 steps before the message reaches the destination. The steps are:

1) Receiver Determination: This steps determines the system that participates in the exchange of the message.

2) Interface Detremination: For each receiver determine which interface will should receieve the message.

3) Message Split: If more than one receievers are found, Xi will instantiate new message for each receiver.

4) Message Mapping: Mapping to transform the source message to destination message format.

5) Technical Routing: Bind a specific destination and protocol to the message.

6) Call outbound Adapter: Send the transformed message to the adapter or a proxy.

One can examine these steps in Runtime Workbench using the Transaction: SXMB_MONI.

Cheers..

Hi

u have mentioned in the steps

Technical Routing

Call outbound adapter

can u explain me more on it when we use it and for what we use it

i mean these two things i havnt seen in the file to file scenario

plz let me know

Thanks

well there are a sequence of pipeline steps in XI;

1. Receiver Determination -- Determine who the receiver / receievrs of the message are

2. Interface determination -- determine the Inbound interface and call the mapping to create target structure

3. Message Split -- If multiple receivers, split the message for each receiver

4. Message Mapping

5 .Technical Routing -- Determine the Protocol to be used to send the message to the target system

6 .Call Adapters-- Call the corresponding adapter and pass the message to it.

HI Anushree

<u><b>Technical Routing</b></u>

Technical Routing involves the definition of the communication channels, adapters, etc.

- Sender agreement & communication channel

- Receiver agreement & communication channel

Technical routing involves exactly how the data will be sent or received.

Routing is one of the steps of the pipeline process

<u><b>Call Outbound Adapter</b></u>

Call Outbound adapter is the step where the message is sent to the adapter.

Hi Vasu,

Thanks for the exact reply

now i understood who process flow

is there any architecture for the process flow that u had explained

[former_member529475]

HI Anu

have a look at this blog by Siva Maranani, you will get the clear picture of process flow..
