Hey Rakesh

you can develop two seperate interfaces

1)Legacy-XI-IDOC

2)IDOC-XI-Legacy

IDOC's by itself cant be used for sync communication

thanx

Hi Ahmad

In this we have dicided to go for Sync calls

Rather than spliting into two parts !!!!

Do you mean like it is not at all possible ? atleast Ack ?

Hey rakesh

you can have acknowledgement's for IDOC but not a response (as with RFC)

what i meant is,if u only have to use IDOC and you want some information (other than ack.) then you can split your interface into two

thanx

Hi

That is fine i can get Ack but in my case i want get some data as response

Is it possible ?

First of all is this feature not there in XI ?

(By writing modules ,own functionality on XI or CRM side ...)

Rakesh,

Idoc's are asynch. You cannot use them as synch scenarios.

You can consider using Application Ack's etc, but, again you will need a BPM to collect the Ack and then send the respons back to your calling application.

Alternate is to use ABAP Proxies.

We cant have IDOC as Syncorous if yu need such i think you can find corresponding BAPI for that and by default BAPI is synchronuose.

Hey Rakesh

if u have WAS>6.2,go wid proxies,you can have sync proxies but if u cant go for proxies then u have to split the interface(there is no way you can make IDOC sync.)

thanx

Hi

Thanks to all ....but

what will you suggest on my specific scenario ?

here on our specific req...no BAPI's are there but we have some Standard

IDOCs...In this what would be the better approach ?

(But as per our design we need to go Sync calls )

help on this really appreciated

Rakesh,

These standard IDoc's internally would be using some function module for its processing . You use them as Process Codes in the Partner Profile.

Try finding out the corresponding FM's for the same and use the RFC/ BAPI for the synch requirement or, a better way would be to use ABAP proxies.

Hi

As Bhavesh said go for Proxies or make two asychronouse calls.

try for proxies and inside there u post the idoc using std f/n modules....if any response req then u might need to call a method which will trigger an outbound call from proxy
