 Point-to-Point Communication Enabled Locate this document in the navigation structure

If point-to-point communication has been enabled, you can trigger enterprise services through the Web services protocol without using a mediator (such as SAP NetWeaver Process Integration). In other words, you can configure direct communication between the consumer and provider.

To set up a point-to-point communication for asynchronous services, you need to make additional settings in the SAP back-end system:

  • You must activate the business function FND_SOA_REUSE_1.

  • In Customizing for SAP Business Suite , choose Cross-Application Components -> Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications -> Enterprise Services -> Point-to-Point Enablement for Asynchronous Enterprise Services .

  • You use the SOA Manager application (transaction SOAMANAGER) to set up endpoints and logical ports.

For more information about the SOA Manager application, see SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/netweaver -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) -> SAP NetWeaver 7.0 including Enhancement Package 2 . Search for Working with the SOA Manager .
