Hi Sreenivas,

What is ALEAUDIT with respect to IDOCs? when will they use it?

IDoc Processing with the IDoc Adapter

Purpose

The IDoc adapter enables you to process and send IDocs (Intermediate Documents) using the Integration Engine. You can use all existing IDoc types that have been released. ALE Audit is supported.

Processing IDocs using the Integration Engine pipeline is an alternative to processing XML messages that are generated using the proxy interface. This alternative is considered for all SAP applications and external systems (subsystems) that have already defined IDocs, as well as for new SAP applications that do not yet have access to the proxy generation functions.

For more information on IDocs, see IDoc Interface/Electronic Data Interchange

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/b9/c5b13bbeb0cb37e10000000a11402f/content.htm

Use

Monitoring the Status of Inbound IDocs Using ALE Audit

Using ALE audit you can monitor the processing status of dispatched IDocs in the receiving system (inbound) from the sending SAP system. The receiving SAP system periodically sends confirmation messages to the sending system. These confirmations are logged in IDoc status records and in separate audit tables in the sending system.

Connections are also created between IDocs in the sending system and IDocs in the receiving system.

A report program on the sending system analyzes the audit database.

Hope this info is useful to you...

Thanks,

Satay Kumar

Hey,

ALEAUDIT is an Idoc by itself.

It consists of information about other Idocs that are transferred from one system to another.

Few of the fields of ALEAUDIT are:-

DOCNUM i.e. document number.

TABNAM that is the table name.

STATUS that is the status of the Idoc.

DIRECT this the direction of Idoc

There are many more fields in the Idoc.

The value of these fields can be sent back to the sender in order to inform him about the recieved idoc.

to configure this you refer to the following link.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/903a0abc-e56e-2910-51a8-9dc616df...

reward points if useful.

regards,

Milan

How to handle Ack for IDOC's

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/c8f66bc7a56bb0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

ALE audit is only possible for IDocs of type logical system (LS).

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/932e8896b610bbe10000000a422035/content.htm

TO SETUP THE ALEAUDIT

Steps: if u want IDOC Ack You have to set up the ALEAUD.

Acknowledgment IDocs are always converted to XI acknowledgments.

This function enables you to send acknowledgment IDocs (ALEAUD) as XI request messages for a sender port and client.

Procedure

...

1. In the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38), under Program, enter IDX_ALEREQUEST and choose Execute.

2. Enter a sender port and a client and choose Execute.

3. Enter the partner number, partner type, and partner role for the receiver and choose Insert.

The entry is added to the table.

4. To delete an entry in the table, select the entry and choose Remove Entry.

Result

In the XI request message, the original sender of the acknowledgment IDoc is no longer known.

The XI request message created is a new message. Monitoring is not able to determine which was the original message.

Processing Acknowledgment Messages

An acknowledgment message informs the sender of an asynchronous message about the result of the processing of the message within SAP Exchange Infrastructure. The reported result is referred to as an asynchronous acknowledgment.

Request Messages

Within the request message you must define whether an acknowledgment message is required, and if so, what kind of acknowledgment message. The acknowledgment message can refer to two events:

● The arrival of the request message at the final receiver

● The execution of the application in the receiver system

For this purpose, the request message contains an acknowledgment tag, which specifies the event for which an acknowledgment is expected. This tag must be specified by the sender (or a sender adapter that supports acknowledgment messages).

Message processing in SAP Exchange Infrastructure ensures that the acknowledgment message follows the same route from the receiver to the sender as the request message did from the sender to the receiver. For this purpose, the request message contains a hop list that logs the route of the request message. This information is provided by all Integration Engines and Integration Servers that are involved in the processing of the request message.

Acknowledgment Message

As soon as the request message processing encounters an event that requires an acknowledgment, a corresponding acknowledgment message is created and sent to the sender.

An acknowledgment message receives a new message ID, but also has a reference to the message ID of the request message as well as the value Response in the Directory tag of the message header. The request message hop list is copied to the acknowledgment message header, thus enabling backward routing of the acknowledgment message.

If a message is branched, a separate acknowledgment message is returned for each newly created request message. These acknowledgments enable the sender to recognize that its original message has been branched.

Acknowledgment messages are processed using backward pipelines. These pipelines are defined for each pipeline involved in the processing of a request message:

Pipelines and Corresponding Backward Pipelines:

Pipeline

Backward Pipeline

SENDER

SENDER_BACK

CENTRAL

CENTRAL_BACK

RECEIVER

RECEIVER_BACK

The backward pipelines have the following main tasks:

● Transport from the receiver system to the Integration Server

The receiver system sends an acknowledgment message back to the corresponding Integration Server (RECEIVER_BACK), as defined for the local Integration Engine.

If a receiver adapter is involved in message processing, it sends the acknowledgment message back to the Integration Server, provided that the respective adapter supports this procedure. Otherwise, a final acknowledgment message is returned with a comment that an acknowledgment is not possible.

● Transport from the Integration Server to the sender system

The Integration Server sends an acknowledgment message back to the sender (CENTRAL_BACK). It uses the name of the sender system for logical and technical backward routing.

If the sender is addressed using an ABAP proxy, you must define a corresponding receiver agreement for this sender.

If a sender adapter is involved in processing the message, the Integration Server sends an acknowledgment message to the sender adapter, which is then responsible for returning the acknowledgment to the sender.

To do this, some adapter types require a corresponding receiver agreement for the sender.

Hope This Information is useful to you,

Thanks

Hi,

Refer

How to Handle Acknowledgments for IDoc (NW7.0)

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/903a0abc-e56e-2910-51a8-9dc616df...

This Feature is Available under SP 18 and we are on SP16

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/c8f66bc7a56bb0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

ALE audit is only possible for IDocs of type logical system (LS).

So no need to do any configuration for acknolwledgment. Unless if you have the receiver is also R3 receive Idoc.

You can turn of this message via the report IDXNOALE(select your message type ie IDOC Name).

Thanks
