• Key Concepts: 
  Serialization context is a concept used in SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) to ensure that messages are processed in the same order in which they were sent. It is used to guarantee that messages are not lost or duplicated during the exchange of data between two systems. Serialization context is also known as message sequencing. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Serialization context is used to ensure that messages are processed in the same order in which they were sent. This is done by assigning a unique identifier to each message, which is then used to track the order of the messages. The serialization context can be set up manually or automatically, depending on the requirements of the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up serialization context, it is important to ensure that the unique identifier assigned to each message is unique and not reused. This will help prevent any issues with message sequencing. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the serialization context is set up correctly so that messages are not lost or duplicated during the exchange of data between two systems.
