Connecting to Websphere Message broker from SAP

[Former Member]

Hi

Iam working on Websphere Message Broker(WMB).

We have to integrate SAP system and WMB, to receive messages from SAP and forward them to other resource; taking the message from the resource and sending it back to SAP, along with the message status like success or failure.

We are using SAPAdapter which comes with WMB toolkit.

SAP will send messages in Batch.

I wanted to know the message format SAP send messages in batch mode. How to send message back to SAP from WMB? As far as i know if we use IDoc then only we can send message back to SAP, but if it is batch process, then how to do in this case?

People who worked on the integration between SAP and WMB, please throw some light on this issue.

I have gone thorugh many websites reading about ABAP, BAPI, ALE, RFC.....

It will be very helpful if someone can answer my questions.

Hi Nina,

first of all I guess there is no standard answer, to what kind of format / structure SAP uses and sends to WMB. It really depends on the individual case. Also important to know, which version of WMB you are using, v6.1 has significant changes regarding SAP adapter.

You may want to read some general WMB SAP connectivity information provided here:
