Configuring Inbound Processing 

Inbound processing is a runtime component that delivers messages to integration processes, or that starts new integration process instances.

You can configure inbound processing to improve performance and message throughput. The configuration that is most suitable in each case is determined by the semantics of the corresponding integration processes.

Basic Process Flow

Inbound processing proceeds as follows:

Step 1: Determine the process type that the message is delivered to

...

Once the process type to which the message is to be delivered has been determined, the message is put in a process-type-specific qRFC queue where it is processed further by inbound processing.

You can influence this step by configuring the queue assignment. Depending on the semantics of the process, you can enable load balancing or execute the entries of the qRFC queue on a dedicated server.

Step 2: Determine the process instances that the message is to be delivered to

For a message to be assigned to a process, the process must have at least one active correlation for this message.If this is not the case, but the process type nevertheless contains a starting receive step that matches this message, a new process instance is started and the message is delivered to this process instance.

Step 3: Deliver the message to existing process instances or start a new process instance

Once the message has been successfully delivered, the process is continued after the receive step.

You can influence this step by configuring the delivery mode.

We recommend that you select the Without Buffering setting for the delivery mode, if the semantics of the process allow this. This setting can simplify the analysis of certain problem situations, and can improve performance.
