ABAP Proxy Vs IDOC

[Former Member]

What are all the advantages ABAP Proxy has over an IDOC?

When to go for an ABAP Proxy?

Hi Pete,

Mainly Performance ..

When to use -- my take is .. when there is no custom idoc available we should always go for proxies instead of creating custom idocs..

Thanks,

Himadri

Hi Himadri,

what did you mean with performance? what of those is better?

I think IDOC's are better for async scenarios... for sync scenarios we are using abap proxies.

U can't use IDOC's for sync scenarios either,so ur left with only two options RFC or ABAP proxies.

Pete,

<b>Proxy and Idoc:</b>

IDOC : After recieving the strucutred data It processes it using a Function Module associated with it. If you have a standard Idoc for your requirement then you should go with Idoc only.

Proxy : Proxy is a structure where there is no processing function module associated. You need to explicitly write the Business Logic/Call the subroutines here

This is my absolutely my view. Another guy has his own response. So first go through your requirements and then you can decide for what to go.

Also go through this urls which may help you:
