Regarding Integration Repository

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

In IR we have concepts like Configuring Adapter Objects

Adapter Metadata,Communication Channel Templates, Version Creation. I am not aware these concepts. could you please explain with the simple example.

Thank you in Advance

Hi,

adapter metadata

With adapter metadata you can define configuration data needed for a certain type of adapter at design time. Adapter metadata define the part of a communication channel that is specific to the adapter type.

The functions for creating and editing adapter metadata are intended for parties developing new adapters. They are not intended for general use.

For more information about adapter development, see Adapter and Module Development.

You can export adapter metadata as an XML file and import it into the Integration Directory. In this way you can provide the configuration with new adapter types.

To export adapter metadata, choose Adapter Metadata ® Export XML Description in the object menu bar.

SAP ships adapter metadata for all the adapter types it provides. You can find the adapter metadata shipped by SAP in software component SAP BASIS, software component version SAP BASIS 6.40, in namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.

You can find adapter metadata in the corresponding namespace in the navigation tree of the Integration Builder (Integration Repository) under Adapter Objects ® Adapter Metadata.

communication channel template

The communication channel template is for the documentation purpose that will give the information about the sender and receiver communication channels in IR. So No need to goto ID and check the related CCs each time for every scenario.

You can preconfigure a communication channel with a communication channel template. You can use the communication channel template as a template to define a communication channel at configuration time.

If you want to create multiple communication channels with some identical configuration data, you should use a communication channel template.

version Creation

I suggest you to go through these blogs carefully to understand your problem. It clearly shows you the step by step procedure to create a software component version.

See when we a particular software and we feel that we can bring in some more enhancements to the same software. We usually don’t release it as new software but we rather just release it as a higher version of the existing version. Same is the reason in our case also.

Just putting all that you see in the blogs in simple terms, to create another version of the software component, follow the same procedure that you followed to create the first software component. The only difference is that the version that you provide will change.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thanks
