is associating communication channel to sender agreement necessary

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it necessary to associate communication channel to sender agreement to pick the message from the specified source directory

[prabhu_s2]

A Sender Agreement is used to transform an incoming message so it can be processed by the Integration Engine. This allows the Integration to understand the protocol of the incoming message (via the associated Channel) to processes it as needed

<b>A Sender Agreement is not always required based on the Adapter Type selected Ex. IDOC.</b>

Hi Santhosh,

To pick the message from sender side , sender agreement should be required, thre are some cases where we dont need the sender agreement for IDoc Adapter and HTTP adapter. bcz these two adapters are resides on Integration server.
