Configuration Objects 
The tasks that you must perform when you configure in the Integration Directory are structured and organized according to configuration objects.
In this section you will find an overview of which configuration objects are relevant for the different configuration tasks.
Basic Tasks and Configuration Objects
The relevant tasks and configuration objects depend on the communication type:
Integration Server communication
An Integration Server is used for processing messages between the sender and receiver.
More information: Configuration Objects (Integration Server Communication)
Communication using the Advanced Adapter Engine
Message processing takes place on the Advanced Adapter Engine.
More information: Configuration Objects (Advanced Adapter Engine)
Direct communication
Sender and receiver communicate directly with each other.
More information: Configuration Objects (Direct Communication)
Further Configuration Objects
There are also the following additional configuration objects:
Value mapping
Maps different representations of entities (for example business systems or communication parties) to each other.
More information: Value Mapping
Configuration scenario
Groups all configuration objects that are relevant for the same process. The configuration scenario also contains a graphic representation of the actual configuration.
More information: Configuration Scenario
NoteConfiguration objects are identified uniquely in the Integration Directory using object keys.
