Hello

anybody did integration from SAP R3 to Legacy system including master data (customer, Material, BOM etc). Is there any way (ALE setup?) we can send master data (create/change) to Legacy system real time?

Thanks

KK

Hi,

Unlike the transaction data SAP has not provided to trigger the master data information immeidately. It has to be done on a batch basis, however, you have the provision to schedule the program as frequently as you want to so that the change IDOCs are triggered as soon as the changes are done.

1. You will have to activate the change pointers on the R/3 side.

2. Then schedule a program which will collect all the changed master data and trigger IDOCS for the same.

The config can be done here

SAP Web application Server --> Application Link Enabling --> Modeling and Implementing Business Processes -->

Take a look at this thread

Hi,

>>>>). Is there any way (ALE setup?) we can send master data (create/change) to Legacy system real time?

yes for all master data this is a standard

you can set up ale model with master data idocs

and just you change pointers

there's a report which checks those changes pointes

and send new,updated master data

this is all standard (with IDOCs) no need to do

anything else

Hi,

<i>

This type of Scenarios are nothing but R/3->XI->Legacy Systems.

In this case R/3 can give the data in different formats either Idoc/RFC/ABAP Proxy..

I think there are some standard Idocs available for this in R/3 (BOM,Material..) So you can make use of this to configure your IDOC ->XI->Legacy System (File )scenario.

Followinng blog talks about Idoc ->XI->File Scenario-

When you are talking about Master Data, is you have MDM in your Design. In this case you can use XI for distributing data into legacy systems.

Thanks Krishna I appreciate your quick response. How does this triggers whenever a new record added (R3 side) or any record changed? do we have to find user exit or any alert will work (for IDOC/RFC/BAPI/ABAP proxy)?

Thanks

Hi KK,

Whenever you change for e.g PO, automatically data has to update, for this there is some standard Idocs from SAP(ORDERS..CHNG...) Wheneve it trigger that Idoc you need to make sure that it should reach XI. For this you need to fill control record informations like, logical system,port etc. This type of scenario is of type adHoc .

But even you can schedule the idoc processing once in a day...etc.

Check this SAP help-

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/dc/6b835943d711d1893e0000e8323c4f/content.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0b/2a65ec507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm

For Proxy you can schedule the ABAP report so that it will send the message to XI. I don't think so, you need to have user exit for this..Because you can write small ABAP report from there you can call RFC/ABAP proxy/BAPI..

If you define proper logical systems/RFC destinations then message will reach XI.
