• Key Concepts: 
  Conversation is a communication protocol used by SAP Gateway and CPIC (Common Programming Interface for Communications) to enable communication between two systems. It is based on the client/server model, where one system acts as the client and the other as the server. The client sends a request to the server, which then responds with a response. The conversation protocol is used to ensure that the communication between the two systems is secure and reliable. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The conversation protocol is used by SAP Gateway and CPIC to enable communication between two systems. To use it, the client system must first establish a connection with the server system. Once the connection is established, the client can send requests to the server and receive responses in return. The conversation protocol ensures that all requests and responses are securely transmitted between the two systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using conversation protocol, it is important to ensure that all requests and responses are securely transmitted between the two systems. To do this, make sure that all requests are encrypted and that all responses are authenticated. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all conversations so that any errors or issues can be quickly identified and resolved.
