hi ravi,

if u r sending xml payload via Http client to XI ...no need to create communication channel...because http adapter lies in the ABAP stack itself....

since http adapter lies in the abap stack ....actual xml payload sent via HTTP client bypasses the adapter engine....

Since soap adapter lies in the Java stack.....u have to create communication channel for it....

Hi Ravi,

Please go through the following link and will find for which adapters we require sender and receiver channels:

Hi

>>SOAP

Its yes for both sender and receiver

For soap scenario u need communication channel for both sender and receiver

>>HTTP

only receiver channel

In case of HTTP sender service is not neccessary the message is directly posted in the integration engine.

but for receiver v will be creating communication channel

hi Ravi,

u need communication channel for both the sender and receiver soap.

but when it comes to HTTP, u need the CC only if u r using a receiving http adapter. we dont need the sender in http because http and idoc adapter reside on the integration engine unlike other adapters.

regards,

Raghu

SOAP- has both sender and receiver channels -

To know about configuring the SOAP adapter -

HTTP - It doesn't have a sender adapter. But it has receiver adapter.
