Hi Phani,
Fault message is a error meesage. Its like an exception in simple terms. The fault message is used to store a log for application error. Fault messages is defined in IR.
To give a overview on Fault messages it is mostly used in synchronous communication. When an error occurs at the inbound side instead of sending the response message back it sends a fault message back to the sender system to handle error.
Fault Message are Msg type that provided whenever u create a namespace..they are usually used to get the exception or error mapped which has occured while execution of Application at the sender/receiver end....
One scenario where i had used it from Soap to RFC where i defined the exception in rfc source code at r/3 end...I mapped that exception to Fault msg type that i created of my own type(didnt used the default)..
Fault messages are used to propogate / send back the error message to the calling application. This is used when there is a failure and the sending system needs to know what the error was. This is more of catching Application Errors.
