Regarding IDOC in XI

Question

Dear All,
For scenario:
System A (RFC adapter) --> XI --> System B (IDOC adapter).
How should i configure for the partner profile?
1. In System A --> Logical System to System B, and put my message type as outbound.
2. In System B --> Logical System to System A, and put my message type as inbound.
3. or i need to configure in XI partner profile? Logical system A (outbound) and Logical system B (inbound).
Please clear my doubts.
Thanks,
Victor.

Hey,
   For RFC you do not need to make any entries in partner profile.
For IDOC(i.e) in system B create a partner profile as inbound.
Please refer to these steps if any issues.
