Is it MessageInterface?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Microsoft : To retrieve the employee details, they use GetEmployeeDetails <b>method</b> as a service. The input request value will be passed as a parameter for the GetEmployeeDetails method.

SAP XI : What is the <b>corresponding</b> object we have to use in XI for <b>method</b>(in Microsoft). I think, method means message Interface in XI. Is it correct?

From XI perspective, <b>GetEmployeeDetails</b> will be your outbound interface.

In case of webservice u r correct it is the message interface

Hi Sara,

What i understand is if you say

<i>they use GetEmployeeDetails method as a service. The input request value will be passed as a parameter for the GetEmployeeDetails method.</i>

I understood it similar to webservice, which means it is interface.

I think when we say a method it is a processing unit.

it could also mean of some function modules which is remote enabled and called in XI.

Hi sara

Here in SAP XI we will be using BAPI's i think so.

Is it a meesage interface?

At this case it acts as a message interface and message type.

Hi Yuagpreetha,

My scenario is Webservice -> XI -> JDBC. We are not using BAPI. According to me, Message Interface is correct. Just, I would like to know/confirm from experts.

Hi,

Yes Sara, Web Service throws you interface to provide the service. It is Interface.
