Configuring the Sender SAP Business Connector Adapter 

Use

You configure the sender SAP Business Connector adapter to send messages from the SAP Business Connector to the Integration Server or the PCK.

Integration

You configure the adapter on the Parameters tab page during the definition of a communication channel in the Integration Server or in the PCK. In addition to the adapter configuration, you can use the Module tab page in the module processor to specify generic modules, which give the adapter additional functions.

The sender adapter can extract data for the XI message header from the external message protocol. See also: Normalization in the Sender Adapter

Prerequisites

       1.      You have created a new communication channel or have opened an existing one.

       2.      On the Parameters tab page you have selected the adapter type BC.

       3.      You have selected the Sender radio button to define the adapter as a sender adapter.

Activities

To configure the adapter, specify the following:

Transport Protocol

●      HTTP

Message Protocol

RFC XML with Envelope

Adapter Engine

Select the Adapter Engine on the Integration Server, or select a non-centrally installed Adapter Engine. This selection is not available in the PCK.

Retention Time

Specify the length of time in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds that asynchronous messages are to be stored in the Adapter Framework message store, depending on the communication channel.

In asynchronous message processing, the Retention Time must correspond to at least the product of Number of Retries and Retry Interval.

Number of Retries

Specify how many attempts the Adapter Framework is to make to forward a synchronous message received from the SAP Business Connector adapter to the Integration Server/PCK when an error occurs.

Retry Interval

Specify the time interval in Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds after which the Adapter Framework will attempt to forward an asynchronous message successfully received from the SAP Business Connector adapter to the Integration Server/PCK.

Timeout

Specify the time period in Days, Hours, Minutes and Seconds after which synchronous message processing is to time out.
