Difference between Synchronous & ASynchronous.

Hi All,

I few queries:

1) Difference between Synchronous & ASynchronous communication?

2) How should we decide whether it is a Sync or Async scenario?

Hi,

Synchronous:

If message is waiting for acknowledgment from the target system then that scenarios is called Synchronous.

Ex. There are 2 file from sender side need to be processed. XI system will pickup 1 st file and send to the target system. Now sender has to wait to get the acknowledgment/response from XI system that file is posted successfully then only XI system will pickup the 2nd file for processing.

Asynchronous:

XI system will pickup the files from sender system and process and send it to the target system without waiting any response/acknowledgment. Doesn't matter whether posted successfully or not .

Thanks!
