IDOC ---> to XI ---> Vendors

What are all the design time points that I need to remember for the above scenario?

If there is any sample design document available?

thanks.

Hi Rohini,

IDoc-XI-Venodr(https)

Design Time and Configuration Time-

1) Idoc structure and import this into IR,

2) Idoc configuration to send the data into XI (Partner profile, logical systems , port maintenance(IDX1 entry) etc

3) Target structure, Mapping Rules

4) Type of communication, ie. Acknowledgement required or not?

5) Is the flow of messages/idocs into XI is an AddHoc process or scheduled in the Application Side?

6) Are you going to collect multiple idocs in XI - if so, you need to use BPM collect patterns here. If your scenario is just One Idoc ->XI->Vendor then BPM is not required.

Thanks Krishna. Coming to your point

5) Is the flow of messages/idocs into XI is an AddHoc process or scheduled in the Application Side?

How does XI design is going to be different for the Immediate and for Batch processing?

Hi,

<i>How does XI design is going to be different for the Immediate and for Batch processing?</i>

Here AddHoc means, one idoc at a time . So it is like one idoc ->XI->Target.. So no collection, etc. Whenever Application triggers the idoc, it will be sent to XI.

But if batch means, you may need to collect all the idocs at a time in XI and send one message. (N:1) mapping with BPM is required to collect the idocs.

Let us say that, if R/3 is going to collect the IDOCS and they are going to send the IDOCs in batch , then there is no need of a BPM!!!.

Whats your opinion Krishna.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Rohini,

If you send Idoc package from R/3, in XI it will be one message for one idoc.

As per the normal understanding, batch means one message we need to get from R/3 with multiple idocs. But it is not happening that way.

BPM is required here !!!
