Configuring the Integration Engine 

Purpose

Before you can use the Integration Engine, you must first configure it for the existing system landscape, depending on the integration processes involved.

Prerequisites

You have called the transaction Integration Engine – Administration (SXMB_ADM) and are on the Integration Engine: Administration screen.

Process Flow

The Integration Engine: Administration screen has a menu consisting of two areas: Administration and Configuration.

Both areas mainly apply to system administrators. They are used to set up the system to process XML messages. This enables you to make changes to SAP default settings and configure test settings.

Accessibility users can call the functions of transaction SXBM_ADM directly by using the relevant transaction code.

The following functions are available to help you configure an Integration Engine:

Function	Transaction Code
Configure event-driven message processing	SXMSFILTER
Define filter for queue prioritization	SXMSQUEUE
Define sender/receiver IDs	SXMSIF
Display/change global and specific configuration data	SXMS_IECONF
Define interfaces and retention periods for archiving XML messages	SXMB_ITFACTION
Define the procedure for deleting XML messages	SXMS_CONF_SWITCH
Display pipeline definitions	SXMS_PIPEL
Configure principal propagation	SXMS_CONF_PP

You also have the following administration options:

Function	Transaction Code
Manage queues	SXMS_QREG
Schedule jobs for archiving and deleting including the migration of archive administration data	SXMS_ADMI_ARCH and SXMS_ADMI_DEL
Make settings for error analysis	SXMS_TSTOOL

You cannot execute options in the menu that have the locked symbol (), because you do not have the required authorization.

The authorizations for the individual functions are tailored to requirements and are assigned as derivations of the composite role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR. They are all based on the authorization object S_XMB_AUTH.

Result

Once you have configured your Integration Engine, it can be called by an XML-enabled application, for example using an outbound interface of proxy generation.
