IDOC-XML pass-through from SonicMQ JMS to IDoc_AAE adapter

[Former Member]

Dear SDN.

I really hope to get some good input regarding the following challanges we are facing at the moment.

As-is:

Today we have a solution where our main middleware platform (not SAP PI) does all transformations from legacy format to idoc-xml format and then via an adapter  converts the file into idoc flatfile which is sent directly to the SAP ECC system.

To-be:

We would like to have a solution where we have a queue inbetween our middleware platform and SAP ECC. This would mean that we will have to send the idoc-xml messages to SAP PI through SonicMQ and then PI sends the messages via the IDoc_AAE adapter to the SAP ECC system (and thus of course does the IDoc-XML to IDoc-flatfile conversion).

Challange:

To reduce overhead, we would like to know if this is possible without using ESR? We are duing this kind of pass-through for flatfiles, which do not require mapping, between two different locations.

Kind Regards

Sven

Hi,

>>>>To reduce overhead, we would like to know if this is possible without using ESR? We are duing this kind of pass-through for flatfiles, which do not require mapping, between two different locations.

you need ESR at least for the purpose of importing IDOC (XML) so the adapter will be able to generate the IDOC in XML format to push it to the IDOC adapter,

flat file IDOC cannot be sent via IDOC adapter to SAP backend unless it's mapped to XML (with IDOC module beans for example) - you can however use flat file IDOCs on SAP backend but not with IDOC adapter but with file adapter (on PI) and queueing will not work in this case,
