Displaying/Changing End Points 

Use

You have the option of displaying or changing an end point.

Prerequisites

You have created a new end point or have opened an existing one.

·        For more information about creating objects, see the Creating a New Object section. Note the following when creating end points:

¡        You can use a placeholder (*) to complete input fields for the receiver interface. For more information, see the Default Procedure section of this documentation.

¡        If the business system is an SAP system, you can also use the RFC namespace.

¡        In the Create New Object dialog, select the receiver business system first. Next, select the receiver interface. In both cases you can also call search help. Search help only displays those interfaces that are available in the receiver business system.

·        For more information about opening objects, see the Object Editors section.

You can also open an end point by selecting one in the overview of end points and choosing Open ().

Features

Header

The editor header displays the following fields:

·        Receiver business system

·        Receiver interface (name and namespace)

You cannot change any entries in these fields since the values were defined when you created the end point.

Fields for the sender business system and sender interface (name and namespace) are also shown. You cannot make any entries in these fields and they are pre-defined with a placeholder (*). For reasons of consistency, this information is displayed in the header just like in the other editors. However, you do not make any specifications about the sender when you create an end point. The fields referring to the sender cannot be changed since the end point for the specified receiver applies, regardless of the sender information.

For more information, see the Default Procedure section of this documentation.

The editor header also displays the status of the objects and you have the option of entering a brief description of the end point.

Work Area

Here you specify the attributes for the end point. The type of end point determines which attributes you must specify here.

See End Point Types for more information.

Activities

To edit an end point, select the end point type from the dropdown list box in the work area of the editor. Then enter information about the end point, as described in End Point Types.

If the RFC namespace (urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions) or the IDoc namespace (urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages) is already specified in the editor header, then the respective end point type (in other words end point for an RFC adapter or end point for an IDoc adapter) is pre-defined in the work area and cannot be changed.

Example

See End Point Types for examples.
