Hi Barik,

<b>I use an Inbound message type when i am receiving some data and outbound message type when i push data out of the XI box??Is this correct..</b>

WRONG!!!

outbound message->XI->Inbound message...

(sender system)->XI->(reciever system)

remeber: when u r sending some data to XI u send it using outbound interface.

and when u r sending some data from Xi to other system u use inbound interface...

Hope ur doubt is clear!!

Hi Arijit,

These terms Outbound and Inbound are not referred from the XI perspective but from the other SAP/NON-SAP/Third Party system perspective.

In case of Sender -

---

> XI it is Outbound message from the sender so we have an Outbound Message Interface to receive this messages.

In case of XI -

---

> Receiver it is an Inbound Message to the receiver so we have an Inbound Message Interface to send this messages.

Hope this clears your doubt.

Hi Arijit,

The Ans of "<i><b>And how to decide when to use a Inbound and Outbound Interface?</b></i>" this question is:

Every time whenever you have sourec fields you will be having target fields. So in simple words, whatever you are going to get/pick from source system into XI as source will act as inbound and whatever the receiver system is going to receive from XI will act as Outbound.

So there is no confusion to decide inbound and outbound interface.

Hi Arjik,

messages are allways going from outbound to inbound interface. So, at XI do you copple at least 2 systems/messages, where you need both an outbound for sender and an inbond interface for receiver.

Hi Arijit,

Sender -

---

> XI : is Outbound Interface.

XI -

---

>Receiver : is Inbound Interface.

Arijit,

Its other way around. Whenever XI receives data its Outbound Interface and when it sends its Inbound interface.
