do we need to create message interfaces for idocs and rfcs thatare imported

from sap server

in scenarios from sap system to file or vice versa

i knew that we need not create message types

do we also skip creating message interfaces

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

IDOCs and RFC's are act as message types and also used in message mapping(both synch and asynch processing)

RFC's are act as message Interfaces and also used in Interface Mapping (Synchronous processing) and You can create message Interfaces for RFC's and IDOCs in asynch

processing

for BPM u wud use the idoc as message type for abs interface.

For Idoc's never create a Message Interface. use the Idoc itself as the Message Interface.

For RFC's if it is a Synch Call, use the RFC itself as the Message interface. In the case of an Aynch Call you will need to create a Asynch Message Interface for the RFC.

hi michal could u tell me in detail wen to create message interface and wen not to create

[MichalKrawczyk]

hi,

you create an abstract message interface for IDOC only if you want to use

them in a BPM (integration process)

for more about IDOCs have a look at my book:

U got me on that

I was only thinking of "non BPM" scenarios. Nice to see that you are still around on the forums.
