Configuring the Integration Engine for Message Processing 

Use

You only need the following procedures in scenarios where messages are processed by the Integration Engine. These settings are not required for direct connections.

The Integration Engine enables you to process XML messages exchanged between applications in heterogeneous system landscapes. Both applications of SAP components and external applications can communicate with the Integration Engine.

As a runtime component, the Integration Engine has the task of receiving, processing and forwarding XML messages. During message processing, collaboration agreements are evaluated, the receivers are determined, and mapping activities are executed.

Procedure

The individual processing steps are called pipeline services and are defined in pipelines. It is the task of the Integration Engine to process these pipelines correctly and consistently. To guarantee this, you must configure the Integration Engine accordingly and monitor the message processing. Both event-driven message processing and prioritized message processing are possible.
