IDoc to IDoc Scenario - Correct Interface Mapping configuration

[Former Member]

Hello All,

i have to configure an Interface Mapping for an IDoc to IDoc scenario.

IDoc Type for sending and receiving already imported and located under Imported Objectes\IDocs in respective Software Component Version.

Now, how is the correct configuration? Add the sending respectively receiving IDoc Type directly to Source Interface/Target Interface under Display Interface Mapping or create first a sending Message Interface and a receiving Message Interface and add the IDoc type under configuration Message Types. Then add the Message Interface to the Interface Mapping.

The selection for direct import of the IDoc structure under the Interface Mapping (Source Interface/Target Interface) is possible.

Many Thanks in advanced!

Jochen

hi,

for IDOCs (if you don't use a BPM)

you don't need any message interface

so if you have already created a message mapping

you can put the IDOCs directly to your interface mapping

then click on read interfaces

and select your message mapping program

if you want to learn more about IDOCs and XI

have a look at my book:

Many thanks Michal for quick answer and Link to your book.

Later i will start with a deeper investigation in this area.

Please, short question at least.

If i put the IDoc directly under the Interface Mapping, when i don't have the opportunity to configure "Synchronous or Asynchronous" like under Display Message Interface "Attributes".

Hi,

you can only use IDOCs in asynchronus scenarios
