Collaboration profile

Describes the functions of communication parties with regard to message exchange.

The profile of a communication party consists of its identifier, services, interfaces, and communication channels. To create a collaboration profile, define the objects communication party, service, and communication channel.

In SAP Exchange Infrastructure which is now Process Integration in latest version 7.1, you can address senders or receivers of messages on two levels. The objects communication party and service are available for this purpose. For example, if you want to address a company or a business partner, you can use the object communication party. To address technical or business units, you use the object service. You can use this object without the object communication party or for further structuring with the object communication party.

Collaboration agreement

Defines which details from the collaboration profile to apply to the message exchange for a particular sender/receiver pair.

There are sender and receiver agreements that describe how the Integration Server (including the Adapter Engine) is to behave towards a sender or receiver of messages. An agreement is always made between a sender and a receiver with regard to an interface. It is not necessary to provide or use all the sender or receiver information in each case.

Hi,

In collaboration profile you specify the relevant receivers and interfaces. It is used for routing.

Whereas in collaboration aggreement, you specify the communication channels used to convert the participating messages between the systems.

Just a basic understanding.
