Resolution:
The SAPAdapter 3.0, supports publishing of messages in 10xcif format which allows for transfer of IDOCs in backward-compatible certified intermediate format (CIF). From an adapter configuration perspective, one must choose the appropriate mode to publish in, there is no configuration to be done in SAP for this.

Some notes on CIF (Certified Message Format): This message format contains self-describing IDoc fields. The Publisher queries R/3 (only the first time it receives a IDoc) for the data dictionary (meta-data) of the IDoc it receives. The outbound message is constructed using this meta-data. It is comparatively slower than the Publisher that publishes Opaque IDocs.  The main benefit however is to the recipients of this message, as no interpretation is needed.
