Why IDoc Sender Channel Used in Outbound Scenario's

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

In my outbound scenario's ,I never used IDoc sender channel.Only ALE settings I have configured..PartnerProfile,RFC dest,Port etc.

Why can we use Idoc Sender channel? Is it only used for IDocFlat file format OR for normal Idoc's also? If we use Idoc sender Channel , how it is processing - Is it TRFC queues-sm58 ?

Can you give me clear idea on it / suggect any blogs.

Thanks.

In simple terms,

Sender IDoc is necessary when you go for IDoc Packaging.

We have an option to create IDoc sender channel from PI 7.1 EHP1 onwards, the usage of IDoc sender channel here si to specify the packaging size, earlier version if you wnat to perfrom IDoc packaging we use file port option to convert collected IDocs in to IDoc xml,using file channel we pick up and process it.

but from PI 7.1 without XML file port option we can use IDoc sender channel to receiver multiple IDocs as a single message.Hence we create IDoc sender channel will specify the package size like how many IDocs to be collected as a single message.

we dont necessary to create Sender Communication channel for IDOC and Proxy and http because xi and sender systems(out bound) resides on abap stack and also dont need for any idoc.

The reason is that R/3 can directly send Idocs to XI via ALE layer using RFC destination specified in SM59.

This IDoc after reaching XI is converted in IDoc-XML. This is done when we specify IDoc metadata IDX2 in XI. It is then used in IR for mapping.

Now for the receiver side, when IDoc-XML is created after mapping program run is sent to R/3. Before that, it has to

be converted into IDoc. This conversion is IDoc-XML to IDoc is done by IDoc Receiver adapter.

one case we need to create sender IDoc Communication channel for IDOC packaging concept thats all.

thanks,
