What are Java IDocs ?

[ajeyagv]

Hello PI experts,

I am reading a section on how to do the adapter configuration and I came across the Java IDocs concept. What are they ? I searched for that in help.sap.com and in the results I get links to configure adapters or ports but nowhere it is mentioned what they actually are ?

Is there any difference between a regular IDoc and Java IDoc ? Is it like, for a Java-based adapter we make use of only Java IDocs or a Java-based adapter will take a regular IDoc and convert that into a Java IDoc ? if that is so, then how is it done ?

Thanks,

Hi Ajeya,

I seached this concept Java Idoc and I dont find any things related to this.

I beleive that Java Idoc is same as IDOC which we are using.It is just that now in single stack you are communicating with Java Stack directly.

Hi Ajeya,

As far as I’m aware there is an IDOC and you can use the java idoc adapter to communicate.So on a single stack you have the java idoc adapter to communicate to a ERP system.

Hi,

As far as i know it is relevant to the adapter configuration relavant to Idocs handling in singlestack i.e. javastack...

As there is a new IDoc adapter in javastack which is IDoc_AAE concept you might be looking at is relevant to this...but there is no change in concept of Idoc handling here as well...except some configuration changes again which are relevant to adapter config..but not to do with idoc stuff...

if the above didn't answer your query , please let us know more info...

So, an IDoc that has been imported from ECC will not work as long as it is a Java IDoc ? And you are right. I'm trying to learn about adapter configuration in AAE for a single stack.(AEX).

Hi Ajeya,

what do you mean by "So, an IDoc that has been imported from ECC will not work as long as it is a Java IDoc ?"

it is a same idoc just change to mode of communication from direct abap stack to java stack
