Point-to-Point Communication Enabled

If point-to-point communication has been enabled, you can trigger enterprise services through the Web services protocol without using a mediator (such as SAP NetWeaver Process Integration). In other words, you can configure direct communication between the consumer and provider.

To set up a point-to-point communication for asynchronous services you need to make additional settings in the SAP back-end system:

• You must activate the business function FND_SOA_REUSE_1.
• In Customizing for SAP Business Suite , choose Cross-Application Components -> Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications -> Enterprise Services -> Point-to-Point Enablement for Asynchronous Enterprise Services.
• You use the SOA Manager application (transaction soamanger )   to set up endpoints and logical ports.
