Differences between SOAP Adapter and WS Adapter

[pedro_baroni3]

Hi Experts,

In order to consume a service in SAP ECC by SAP PI 7.1, I´m using a service based on RFC. I tryed sucessfully to do that using SOAP Adapter and WS Adapter.

What are the differences between using a receiver communication channel with SOAP adapter or WS adapter? Which is the better way ?

Tks in advance.

SOAP adapter uses XI integration engine for sending and receiving data. However the WS adapter provides the direct communication using WS runtime. The advantage of using direct communication is that it improves the performance of message transfer. PI is still involved as it provides the monitoring capabilities which is very important for point-to-point communication.
