• Key Concepts: 
  A sender adapter is a component of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (BC-XI) that is responsible for sending messages from the SAP system to external systems. It acts as an interface between the SAP system and the external system, allowing for communication between the two. The sender adapter is responsible for formatting the message, sending it to the external system, and receiving a response from the external system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The sender adapter can be used to send messages from the SAP system to an external system. To do this, you must first configure the sender adapter in the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (BC-XI). This includes setting up the connection parameters, such as the hostname and port number of the external system. Once configured, you can use the sender adapter to send messages from the SAP system to the external system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring a sender adapter, it is important to ensure that all of the connection parameters are correct. If any of them are incorrect, then messages may not be sent correctly or may not be received by the external system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that any security settings are configured correctly so that messages are sent securely.
