The pipeline is the set of processing steps through which all XI messages are processed once they are received at the Integration Engine (Integration Server). The processing steps include (most significantly): - Receiver Determination (which partner system[s] shall be the recipient of the message); - Interface Determination (to which interface[s] on the selected systems shall the message be sent); - Technical Routing (binds the message to a particular protocol and delivery channel); - Message Mapping (call the Mapping program[s] to format the message in the receiver’s preferred format). Transaction SXMB_ADM is used to configure pipeline settings, for instance logging and trace levels.
