Purpose
The SAP Business Connector adapter (BC adapter) supports the B2B protocol of the SAP Business Connector, which is based on HTTP. The BC adapter enables you to replace a business connector with SAP Exchange Infrastructure or the PCK in scenarios where several SAP Business Connectors are used. This ensures guaranteed message delivery by SAP XI.
Implementation Considerations
To connect to SAP Exchange Infrastructure and the PCK, you need SAP Business Connector 4.7. [pic] For FAQs about the SAP Business Connector Adapter, see SAP Note 774854.
Integration
You must configure the Adapter Engine/PCK in the SAP Business Connector to be connected. See also: Configuring in the SAP Business Connector
Features ● To send messages from an SAP Business Connector to the Integration Server/PCK, you configure the sender SAP Business Connector adapter. ● To enable a connected SAP Business Connector to receive messages from the Integration Server/PCK, you configure the receiver SAP Business Connector adapter. The receiver adapter supports system acknowledgments but not application acknowledgments. ● For more information about configuring your own modules for the adapter, see SAP Business Connector Adapter Modules.
Constraints ● You can only send RFC-XML documents and IDoc-XML documents with the SAP Business Connector adapter. ○ Between the SAP Business Connector adapter and the SAP Business Connector, documents of type RFC-XML with envelope are supported. This kind of document is supported directly by the SAP Business Connector standard pipeline service for RFC. ○ Between the adapter and the Integration Server/PCK, documents of type RFC-XML (without envelope) are supported, as generated by the RFC adapter or SAP JCo. ● Calls are stateless and sessions are not supported.
