How to distribute HR Master Data without using IDOCS

Former Member

Hi

Currently we push IDocs (HRMD_A) to distribute HR Master data with a non -SAP system. IDocs are push techniques, but the non-SAP system is moving to different architecture where it supports only pull. So they don't want to receive IDocs any more. So is there any technique to distribute HR Master Data with pull techniques like BAPI, Web Services or other techniques in standard functionality? If it is available, then is that technique is as good as IDocs? If not what are the drawbacks?

Thanks in advance

Hello Fareez,

From the fact that your Master Data is in iDoc format it seems that this is not NetWeaver MDM as it actually exports in XML or flat file format.

If you are not using NW MDM then you could possibly be using MDG or your ERP system in order to export and therefore use the iDoc format.

If you have PI you could use an adapter to change the format to XML or any other format and you could also initiate the pull externally.

There are also other methods using RFC and Web Service to extract the data.

Hope this helps,

Stanley Levin.
