Adapter-specific attributes (SAP Library - Configuring Communication Channels with Adapter Type WS)

Adapter-specific attributes

You can specify the following adapter-specific attributes when using the communication channel with adapter type WS.

Note

You make these settings in the collaboration agreement or direct connection that contains the communication channel.

Note that you can only configure these settings in the communication agreement or direct connection if the Web service client to be configured is based on AS ABAP 7.10. For the sender agreement or direct connection this effectively means that the back-end system of the sender is based on AS ABAP 7.10 in the sender agreement or direct connection key.
