Hi,

communication channel is the physical connection for adapters to communicate to the systems (within or outside your landscape)

So if u want to say about Interface then U can say file to file,file to idoc,idoc to file etc.Interface is nothing but which acts as a gateway between systems.

whereas .. communication channel is define the type and configuration of the adapter used in interface for inbound and outbound processing of messages.

so interface repersents the whole integration scenerio ...

Hi,

No, configuration of adapter in CC is not the whole interace.

Whole design and configuration and unit test is comes under the scenario..

--- What they want is what are the scenario's you worked on

Like list of all the scenario's

--- You can give the list of all the Scenario's

Sender to Receiver

eg:

FTP(file) to SAP R/3 (Idoc)

SAP CRM(BDOC) to RDBMS(JDBC)

No ....it is not a communication channel

scenario includes who is the sender and what is the target

I hope this will answer your question

Hi,

Actually Interfaces are used to integrate two comonents using SAP XI.

Interface is used to communicate between two components . But in your case, what type of scenarios you worked that is the meaning , so tell about those you worked on.

No ,this is not a Communication channel.

you use a communication channel to define the type and configuration of the adapter used during inbound or outbound processing. A communication channel also contains additional details about message exchange, for example, which identification scheme to use to identify the communication party. it refernces to the adapters u use for configuration.
