Hi,

Usually that depends on adapter which you are using

refer this,

Adapters

Purpose

Adapters enable the PCK to communicate with different systems.

Features

Adapters are used to connect the PCK both to SAP Exchange Infrastructure and to other systems.

The PCK provides a variety of adapters for this purpose. You can use these adapters to convert XML and HTTP-based messages to the specific protocols and formats of these systems and the other way around.

The PCK provides adapters, which you can use to do the following, depending on how they are configured:

Communicate with SAP systems using the RFC interface (RFC adapter)

Enable data exchange with the SAP Business Connector (SAP Business Connector adapter)

Exchange data with systems by using a file interface or an FTP server (file/FTP adapter )

Access databases using JDBC (JDBC adapter)

Communicate with messaging systems using the JMS API (JMS adapter)

Integrate remote clients or Web service providers using the SOAP adapter (SOAP adapter )

Connect e-mail servers to the PCK (mail adapter)

Exchange data with SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI adapter)

In the adapter configuration, you specify whether an adapter is located at the inbound channel (sender adapter) or at the outbound channel (receiver adapter) of the PCK.

Adapter Types and Attributes

Adapter Type Transport Protocol Message Protocol Quality of Service

RFC RFC RFC-XML BE, EO, EOIO

SAP Business Connector (BC) HTTP(S) RFC XML with envelope

SOAP Sender adapter:

Hi,

Protocols enable you to use the additional services of ABAP proxy runtime, which go beyond the simple exchange of synchronous messages. The different runtimes support different protocols.

PLease refer for more details http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/51/d5cd16235e4643ae8ec92395c4ad97/frameset.htm.

Integration Adapters are used to convert various protocols and data formats into the Integration Servers XML based message objects and vice versa. The Integration Server comes with some built in adapters but most adapters are additional components.

HI,

Protocols exist at several levels in a telecommunication connection. For example, for SOAP you need to give Transport Protocol as HTTP and Message Protocol as SOAP.

SO normally in XI communciation channel we use

The transport protocol (TransportProtocol) and message protocol (MessageProtocol) elements can contain a range of referenced Attributes or AttributeTables.

Refer

Hi,

Transport Protocol -


> It specifies the protocol, based on the protocol data goes to

target system

Message Protocol----> Message protocol converts the data that is understandable by the XI if it is sender

and converts XML data to target format.

Here we have some options we can change the format types, based on that it converts data to that

selected format.

Thanks,
