Integration Directory (Advanced Adapter Engine Extended)

Configuration Task

Description

Using tools to configure efficiently

The manual execution of all configuration steps can be very complex and time-consuming for large scenarios. Therefore, tools are available that enable you to perform the configuration efficiently and quickly (for example, the model configurator or the Integration Directory programming interface).

Defining Communication Parties

You define the units that are to be addressed as the sender or receiver of messages.

You define communication parties and communication components for this purpose.

You define communication channels to establish the technical communication paths for the communication party and the communication components. You configure the adapters for inbound and outbound processing in the communication channels.

For more information, see the documentation in SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver Process Integration  Developing and Configuring Integration Scenarios  Defining a Collaboration Profile.

Defining Communication Components

Defining Communication Channels

Defining the Integrated Configuration

You configure the following:

• Inbound and outbound message processing

• Routing and mapping

Using Configuration Scenarios

You can use a configuration scenario to group configuration objects that are connected together. In addition you can display the objects of a configuration scenario and their relationship to each other in a graphic overview.

Copying Configuration Scenarios

You can automatically adjust a configuration scenario with all of the configuration objects that are used in it to new or changed communication components.

Configuration Task

Description

Defining alert rules

You configure message alerting, where alerts are used to notify administrators of technical problems.

Defining value mapping

You use value mappings to map different representations of an object to each other.

Function
