HI sagar.

I mean to say...data type is a structure...and message type representing..data type...as heder name...

[Former Member]

Hello Venkat,

As XI is middleware , you need to design the mapping i.e.,

trasformation of the data from one form to another.So this should be a one time design .So all these kind of Design we will do it in IR.

1.Data type : this will give you the structure of the source and target data

2.Message type : this is the actual data which we will process and takes the shape of Data types.

3.ok fine we defined Message types,But whether it is coming or going we have to declare and even we have to consider whether it is two way communication or not (Syn or Async).This we will define in Message Interface

Regarding ID ,

1)we have to give the techical details ...ie.,

Physical information of channels thru which the data will pass..

2)Where it will go and from which source

3)Regarding the Sender agreement and Receiver agreement,these two will tell that the source and target are ready for communication of data thru Communication channel

Hope you understood.

namespace: Where we develope the object under this..this is called development class.

datatype: Structure of a message.

Message type: Its a header or its called as document

Message Interface:Its contains message type and it decides the direct and communication,.

Message Mapping: Used to convert source to target structure.

Interface mapping: Executes the message mapping.

Communication Channel: Used to communciate with the external system from xi

sender aggrement: it will intimate sender system to xi

receiver aggrement: It will intimate recever system to xi

Hello Krishna,

Could you please check your second points...

>>Message type: Its a header or its called as document
