ALE / Inbound processin / function modules

[Former Member]

Hello

I am quite new in ABAB and i have a ALE question:

For testing the minisap WA1 I designed a very simple Idoc

with one INT and one CHAR segment.

I wrote a JcO programm, that sends that Idoc to my WA1 system.

For inpound-processing the Idoc, I designed a processing code, linked with my Idoc (and the Partnerprofile, Processing Code, etc,).

But: The last step, the FunctionModule doesn't work. It shoud write the Idoc-data in the tables, I created for my tests

//* Did someone designe a simple Idoc for testing purpose and the corresponding function module?

//* Is it always necessary to design a Business Object for inbound processing?

following my function module:

FUNCTION YGBG_F_02.

Hi,

maybe the examples on SAP interface documentation for CA-ALE may help you:

Hi!!

You can see what happens with your idoc in the we05 transaction, and you can change and reprocesed it in we19.

Hi,

Try WE19 to test your IDOC in SAP system first to see if the records are being updated. Check table contents or the value of SY-SUBRC after your INSERT statement. If that is fine, then you might be missing a step in ALE configuration. Take a look at http://www.sapgenie.com/sapgenie/docs/ale_whitepaper.doc for a detailed description of the ALE process. You can directly jump to Chapter 5 (ALE Development) for a step-by-step guide for IDoc processing.
