SAP IDoc Tutorial – Using WE19 to test IDoc processing

Andy — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 08:11:21 +0000

In this tutorial, I try to explain how to use t-code WE19 to test an IDoc inbound processing. This is a very basic tutorial but I believe it is very helpful for beginners to have a general understanding of IDoc processing. The test scenario for this tutorial is an external SAP system sends an IDoc to the receiver SAP system and the receiver SAP system will send the inbound IDoc to the agent to review.

Below are the steps to configure, test and monitor the whole scenario. All these steps are performed in the receiver system as I use the WE19 to simulate the inbound IDoc, so all the configuration activities in the sender system is omitted in this tutorial.

Step 1. Define the logical system for the external SAP system

Go to transaction BD54 to add a new logical system for the external SAP system. You can find the external SAP system’s logical system using transaction SCC4 and select the correct client you are using, you can find the assigned logical system to this client.

Expose RFM to Web Service

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a blueprint for an adaptable, flexible, and open IT architecture
for developing services-based, modular business solutions. SAP makes it easy to adopt SOA –
enabling companies in diverse industries to quickly differentiate their businesses and optimize
processes in their business networks. SAP enables businesses to adopt SOA at their own pace as
part of their SAP solutions. At the heart of SAP’s open-standards approach to SOA is the web service.

SAP provides a set of tools to create, configure and monitor the web service. In this post, I would like to share how to expose a remote-enabled function module to a web service.

1. Create a Service Definition

With the inside-out approach, independent function modules that were implemented as RFC-enabled function modules, as function groups, or as BAPIs are provided as a Web service. The Web service can be used across the entire Internet using standard protocols and can easily be added to any development environment.

BDC – Batch Data Communication

Andy — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:15:54 +0000

BDC is abbreviation for Batch Data Communication. It is a common data transportation method and is especially useful in large data communication scenario. There are two methods to run BDC program. One is using statement ‘Call Transaction’ directly. In this method, the screen is simulated directly but difficult for error processing. The other method is to create a BDC session. Actual data transportation is executed when running this BDC session. I will explain the two methods further.

ABAP Email Traditional API

Andy — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:37:21 +0000

SAP provides several function modules to send email to the external world. The interfaces of them are more or less the same, just with some minor difference. Function Group: SOI1 - API Function Modules for Externals Function Module: SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 - SAPoffice: Send new document with attachments using RFC SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 - SAPoffice: Send new document SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 - SAPoffice: Send new document with attachments using RFC

What does the interface mean? Interface means the communication interface between different systems in an enterprise enviroment. SAP provides a comprehensive solution for different industries.
