About Idoc sender

[Former Member]

Why we don't give CC and adapter for sender Idoc and HTTPs ?

I know that two are in ABAP stack, then how to communicate that and where the XML conversion done at ABAP sys or XI server or conversion not required ?

Hi,

If say sender adapter is ABAP based, then the message flow will be

Sender -

---

> Integration Server (Idoc/HTTP Adapter) -

---

> Integration Engine -

---

> Adapter engine (receiver) -

---

> Receiver

If the adapter involved is a Java based adapter, then the flow would be

Sender -

---

> Adapter Engine (sender) -

---

> Integration Engine -

---

> Adapter Engine (receiver) -

---

> Receiver

Conversion of XML always happens in adapter engine.

I hope this will help you..

Hi Sarvesh,

You gave Conversion of XML always happens in adapter engine.

But there is no sender adapter for Idoc and HTTP then how the data converts to the XML format.

Because IDOC & HTTP resids on ABAP stack so there is no need to convert them into XML and this is the reason we don't require any sender adapter.

Hi Venkat

Plain HTTP adapter is part of the Integration Engine so when your message reaches integration engine this adapter changes it in XML data.Refer following link for more details about HTTP adapter:

In case of Idoc XI uses tRFC to post Idoc to integration server.Refer following link for more details:
