for example:

transport protocol is a agreement of transmission line,it as a ship or train or plane.

it is message protocol as for type of goods shipped, you can ship dog or cat or people or anything allowed.

such as:

you can transport soap message by http protocol as well as jms protocol.

here:

soap message is goods shipped.

http or jms is ships.

transport protocol is vehicle allowed.

message protocol is shipped goods in the vehicle allowed.

Hi dhanush,

This two can have different attributes which were assigned in the adapter metadata. Please see this help for some info on this:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/e462405c910272e10000000a155106/content.htm

Go to SAP BASIS 6.40 or 7.00 software compoenent and open namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System. Go to Adapter objects and open Adapter metadata. Then open any adapter. Here you can see all the properties of your adapter which support.

Transport protocol gives information about outside of message details, kind of system, security details.

A transport protocol is a network protocol that has the capability of transferring some payload from one node to another, thus providing some level of transparency from the underlying network.

Transport protocols are used as a mechanism to move payloads around a network. Typically, a payload will have a transport binding associated with it. For example, SOAP (acting as a payload) has a predetermined binding for HTTP (a transport protocol).

Some common transport protocols include: HTTP, HTTP-R, SMTP and BEEP.

Message protocol gives you an idea of message type XI payload
