Technology to be used for IDOC generation (ALE/EDI)

[sivapuram_phanikumar]

Hi All,

I have to send an IDOC to the integration layer TIBCO which in turn takes care of sending the IDOC to the third party system. I need your help in identifying the technology that can be used for the same. Based on which things, we can go for ALE or EDI. Kindly help me in understanding the two concepts and deciding the technology to be used in this case.

Best Regards,

Kumar.

ALE Is used for Integration of two Systems without the need of a Third Party integration system like TIBCO.

You can create the Idocs without using concept of ALE. Just define the TRfc Ports with TCP/IP RFC from where TIBCO will pick the idocs

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

If we create TRFC port, where the IDOC will be recided and how TIBCO will pick them?

Thanks for clarification.

Best Regards,

I don't know about TIBCO, that you can check with the consultants handling the EAI technology in your project. We had a different software (DSTX) for Integration.

In the TRFC port we have defined RFC destination for DSTX to receive the idocs and the RFC destination was of type TCP/IP. You can check with the Basis/TIBCO consultants on the same.

reward points if useful.

Hi Siva,

Once you create An TRFC, at both the ends ( Depending upon the configuration).

The link will be generated on both the ends. For this purpose, the promt Server names, ID and LOgon Should be, need. As soon, as the configuration( ALE SetUp) is set. Automatically, The transactional RFC will be triggered and related information if the idoc will be passed to the Tibco system.

Thanks

Hi Manju/Abhishek,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me the steps required for creating TRFC's (Abhishek, in your case, steps you have followed to create TRFC port and RFC destination for DSTX) and all the other step by step process in customization required to trigger the IDOC and send it to TIBCO system?

Best Regards,

Kumar.

Hi Kumar,

IF you have opted for ALE, The following steps should be follwed.

for this you have the Tcode SALE.

As any ALE configuration, The common steps are as follows. F

1. Define the logical Systems ( Which are nothing but your Sending and receving systems).

2. Assign these logical systems to the concern clients. Like SAP server to that related client and TIBCO LS to Its receving client.

3.SM59 ( or in SALE Tcode only, you can fing the options), Where you will give or define the RFC. Just, you need to give the LS name and the server details.

4. Once this is set up fine, then, you need to create Modelview, which contains the message type, Sender and Reciver side LS .

5. After, this distributing and generating.

These are the Major and important steps, which should be followed.

Thanks
