Question on SOAP Adapter

[Former Member]

Hello Friends

I have a basic question on how soap adapter.

In case of a file adapter, you can configure the value of polling and so periodically XI checks for the file at a given location.

In case of SOAP, according to what I read a client software sends the message to XI using a SOAP adapter. How will XI know that there is a message that has been sent. Is there some kind of Polling going on in the background?

I have tried to read many articles on sdn.sap.com, however couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Pipeline of XI will help you to understand more.. thru Sender Agreement it will happen and no polling as of like File Adapter

XI will receive the message based upon the sender agreement. The SOAP client uses the WSDL generated in XI to send the SOAP request. This makes the data understandable to XI.

<i>Is there some kind of Polling going on in the background?</i>

No.

Hi ram,

In ID we will be configuring SOAP Sender Adapter which points towards particular Message interface..

Now whenever sender wants to send something to XI using SOAP ... he will call this Soap Sender Adapter.... which in turn executes the interface..

ALso can u check this PDF doc

How To…

Use the XI 3.0
