Configuring the RNIF Adapter 

Use

You configure the RNIF Adapter to send and receive data between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.

The RNIF Adapter can be configured for the following scenarios:

●     Single-Action Initiator

●     Single-Action Responder

●     Two-Action Initiator

●     Two-Action Responder

In each of these scenarios, you configure the adapter with respect to the partner. So, if you use the scenario, single-action initiator, it means that the partner is starting a message exchange with XI.

Depending on the Process Types and the actual roles of partners in a PIP, a different channel configuration is needed.

The RosettaNet-compliant system of the partner must be configured to send messages to the RNIF Adapter. Specify the outbound URL on the partner system as follows for this purpose.

http://<host>:<port>/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF

Integration

You configure the adapter when you define a communication channel on the Parameter tab page. In addition to the adapter configuration, on the Module tab page in the module processor, you can specify generic modules, which give the adapter additional functions.

For the RNIF Adapter, you must specify the protocol as RNIF 2.0. To specify the protocol type, select RNIF 2.0 as the Message Protocol on the Adapter tab page. You must also specify the module name RNIFModuleListener in the Module tab page.

The modules configured in the Module tab page are only used to configure the integration of the RNIF Adapter with the Adapter Engine. They do not provide any other additional functions.
