IDOC Abstract Interface

[Former Member]

I assigned IDOC to an Integration Process. During design I did an interface mapping between the IDOC and the Abstract Interface of the IP. I have to assign a Message Mapping to the interface mapping.

1. As the structures are the same do I need a Message Mapping.

2.I am following an answer Yes for 1 and created a Message Mapping with same structure on both sides. Now I have to map all these IDOC fields. Any easy way to map by one drag and drop.

Hi,

If you want to use the Idocs in the BPM , then abstract interfaces are required.

<i> During design I did an interface mapping between the IDOC and the Abstract Interface of the IP</i>

Is it mean, the same idoc absract Interface as a target here ?

<i>1. As the structures are the same do I need a Message Mapping.</i>

>> Not required.

If your Idoc is in the SWC of the Integration Process and you have defined the Absract Interface for the Idoc type, then it is not required to create the mapping here. You can directly use i.e you can receive the Idoc message in the Idoc Abstract Interface.

But with no message mapping you cannot activate your interface mapping.

You do not need interface mapping at all.

Just assign the abstract interface as receiver in the interface determination. Leave mapping empty.
