MESSAGE PACKAGING

MESSAGE PACKAGING We  can improve the performance of message processing in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI) by grouping together asynchronous messages in packages and then processing each message package in one LUW. We  configure how packages are created in the sender system and in the central Integration Engine. Packages can be received and saved in the receiver system. They are then processed as individual messages. Sender adapters handle message packages in different ways. ●        The Advanced Adapter Engine can receive packages but not create them. ●        The Business Process Engine (BPE) can process packages ●        The IDoc adapter sends all messages that have the same interface to the Integration       Server in one RFC call. It can send IDoc message packages to an IDoc receiver. ●        The plain H...

B) Then, depending on whether your system is single/dual stack, create a RFC destination from SM59  which will point to PO system. If its a Single stack - create Type G connection            Dual stack - create Type H connection while creating we should follow a standard Path Prefix for both Type H & Type G connection Connection Test should result in Status 200 ex: Type H Target Host : Hostname of PO system Path Prefix : /sap/xi/engine/?type=entry Type G Target Host : Hostname of PO system Path Prefix :   /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?ximessage=true C) Go to SXMB_ADM - Configuration -  Select Category as Runtime  select parameter -  IS_URL Value =  dest://<your_rfc_destination> D) We will create o...
