Hi,

As correctly said by Vijay, you don't require a sender IDOC adapter.

For IDOC configuration you can go through this blog and this a one time activity.

You have to create

1) RFC Destination in XI towards R/3

2) Port in XI(IDX1)

3) Partner Profile in R/3 and add the Inbound Parameters in WE20

You require Idoc Receiver Adapter Config here,

We dont require Idoc sender adapter because Idoc will directly can communicate with the XI's Integration Engine.

But While Posting the Idoc to the R/3 we require adapter Inorder to post the Idoc-xml into Idoc format

iam using IDOC adapter between SAP and XI , file adapter between SAP and FTP

~~~~~~~~~

You dont need to use the IDoc adapter. The configuration (destinations, port etc) will do the trick

i understand the XI part ...SLD IR ID configration, my question is do i need to configure the idoc ( i.e RFC creation. PORT creation, partnet profiles) on both systems SAP and XI everytime ?

~~~~~~~

No its a one time configuration.
