Triggering mechanism in EDI

Former Member

Hi Friends,

I need some clarification regarding triggering mechanism between SAP system and EDI-Subsystem. After creation of the IDoc, <b>R/3</b> will put the same file in the operating system at a directory. Then how exactly the subsystem will be triggered. I have seen some documentaion which explains like through RFC/STARTRFC the subsystem will be triggered. In the same manner, In inbound how <b>R/3</b> will be triggered once if <b>substyem</b> got the IDoc.

Hi,

Following are the steps to start the SAP inbound processing by subsystem.

The upstream external system writes the data to a sequential file in IDoc format.

The external system starts the SAP System with the rfcexec program.

The name and directory of the file (as well as the port) are transferred to the SAP System as startrfc parameters.

The SAP System reads the inbound file and then deletes it. It does not return any status information to the external system.

Other way is ,

The upstream external system writes the data to a sequential file in IDoc format.

Schedule the BG job for running the program RSEINB00 to poll it in periodic intervals.
