IDoc Collection in BPM and Without BPM

[prabhu_s2]

Hi All

I'm much confused on IDoc collection for which i require your expertise to clear my doubts. My primary question is based on the context "Multimapping doest work with idocs".

consider the case -> collect files-idoc scenario. <b>Using BPM</b> i need to have

a multimapping scenario. In the <b>transformation step</b> we will have a <b>container</b> element where <b><u>mutiline</u></b> is enabled so that the collected files are <b>transformed into one abs interface</b>. my dopubt arises here when i consider this scenario <b>without bpm</b> that is N:1 mapping (no collection). in this case why this <b>multimapping works in bpm process</b> and <b>not incase of non-bpm scenarios</b>? is it because in bpm the mapping happens in BPE?

pls clarify.

thks

Hi Prabhu -

In an N:1 scenario without BPM, how could you send more than one <b>message</b> to your multi-mapping? You can't.

Also, the limitation of <b>N:1/multi-mapping without BPM</b> is not limited to just IDoc messages. For this case, it applies to any type of message.

yes we cant as this validation is not supported at abap stack level and N:1 is possibkle without BPM (or i'm missing something here). but this same step with bpm get executed succceffuly. whats the logic behind it
