Outbound communication denotes communication from the application server to the EIS partner. For outbound communication, you have to configure outbound services and outbound communication endpoints.
An outbound service represents a service (e.g. transaction code) inside the EIS partner. Each service of an EIS partner which is to be called from the application server, must be configured as an outbound service. It can either be used implicitly if it is assigned as a service to a communication endpoint or can be set explicitly in the EJB via the method setServiceName.
Each outbound communication endpoint represents a communication endpoint inside the EIS partner for outbound communication and is therefore EIS-specific. A connection factory is assigned to a communication endpoint with the configuration property connectionURL and is thus assigned to a specific EIS partner. An EIS partner can have multiple outbound communication endpoints.
You can find examples of how to use the BeanConnect programming interfaces for developing EJBs in the Code samples for outbound communication .
