Hi Guru,

your perfect answer would be very helpful and i will cosider u as a real hiro in sap abap in my mind and heart

Hi Manas,
EDI
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.It is mainly an interface which acts as a moderator between SAP and non SAP system.EDI is used to transfer Datas to R/3 from NonSAP system or Other SAP system.
EDI uses IDOC as its interface component.Which mean EDI is a concept and IDOC is like protocol.
EDI is configured in the R/3. It has Outbound folder and indboud folder.
Outbound folder:This contains the data to be send to the nonSAP system
Inbound folder:
This contains the data from the nonSAP to R/3 or SAP system.
status processing
This holds the status of message from SAP to NonSAP and from Non-SAP to SAP. So that if any error occurs in transfereing Message it is easily traced out.

  • Diff... between  ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI --- Not clear and clarify

    Hi All
        I am learning XI and the difference between " ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI "
        Not clear and when to use what and how in point of XI ?
       Pl..clarify me
    Adv..thanks and points

    Hi
    This will expalin you every thing ...pl..go through
    The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.
    I hope this will help you to understand the difference bet..those

  • Different between ALE, IDOC and BAPI?

    Hi Folks,
    What is the different between ALE, IDOC and BAPI? and send me the following steps?
    Thanks in advance.
    Siva

    Hi,
    please read the below lines.
    ALE
    ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. When a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution such as R/3 is implemented, companies have to interface the ERP system with legacy systems or other ERP systems.
    ALE provides intelligent mechanisms where by clients can achieve integration as well as distribution of applications and data.
    ALE technology facilitates rapid application prototyping and application interface development, thus reducing implementation time.
    The ALE components are inherently integrated with SAP applications and are robust, leading to a highly reliable system.
    ALE comes with application distribution/integration scenarios as well as a set of tools, programs, data definitions, and methodologies that you can easily configure to get an interface up and running.
    BAPI
    BAPIs provide a stable, standardized method for third-party applications and components to integrate into the Business Framework. These interfaces are being specified as part of SAP's initiative with customers, partners and leading standards organizations. Also, SAP has implemented the emerging Object Application Group (OAG) specifications with BAPIs.
    Pros and Cons for both BAPI and Call Transaction
    BAPI
    One of the big plusses for BAPIs is that the interface and function are not supposed to change.  This is a big plus when you do upgrades or hot packs because the transaction can change (format, required inputs etc) which means you then need to update the call transaction.
    Some of the BAPIs are better documented and easier to use than others.
    You usually need to perform the BAPI that actually does the COMMIT after you call your BAPI.
    The Program coding for calling a BAPI is usually cleaner than setting up the screen flow etc for the Call Transaction.
    You don't need to worry about special data circumstances interrupting the normal data flow of the screens and causing errors because of that.
    BAPIs probably have better performance since they don't do the screen flow processing.
    In general if the BAPI exists for the transaction you want to perform and you can figure out how to use it the BAPI is probably the best way to go.
    This is just from my experience working with both BAPI and Call Transaction.  I have had some very good successes with BAPIs, but very occasionally found that I could not get the BAPI to perform the update I needed.
    Regards,
    Anki Reddy.

  • Mass Upload -  ALE/IDOC or BAPI approch

    Hi Guys,
    I have to upload material master and we have options to do it by either ALE/IDOC or BAPI approach. The quantity of materials is quite huge. I tried to find some comparison about different approaches so as to know when to use what but not able to get exact information. Kindly suggest which one is usually preferred for mass upload and if possible provide some links for more references.
    Thanks,
    Brijesh Soni

    I have never seen such recomendations or  benchmarks
    SAP has a homepage for benchmarks: http://www.sap.com/solutions/benchmark/index.epx
    the source is the same, then result is the same. all steps in LSMW are the same. you have to map the same fields in any method.
    BAPI may have some more structures than IDOC or batch input. so just minutes more to assign the source structure to the target structure. .
    it is a historical growth or development. It started with batch input to process SAP transactions en mass
    then the IDOCs came to exchange data between 2 SAP systems.
    and then we got the BAPIs to execute SAP transactions even from a non-sap system.
    the result is in all three methods a created material master.
    LSMW is a toolbox which gives you any of the available import methods.
    there are other aspects to be considered in a migration.
    What if you have errors? do you correct them yourself, or do you want the business people to fix them.
    if you want business people to fix wrong data, then a batch import method may be the first option, as you can process it in foreground. It is too much complicated for a Non-IT-person to edit values in IDOCs. (even the performance may be better than a batch input)

    can anyone send me the good links for EDI concepts.explain me a bit about the creation process .
    EDI is described as the interchange of structured data according to agreed message standards between computer systems, by electronic means. Structured data equates to a simple and direct method of presenting the data content of a document. The method of ensuring the correct interpretation of the information by the computer system is defined by the EDI standard."
    EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."

  • Objects in ale/idocs, bapi

    1)can any one give me any good object in ale /idocs and BAPI and explain them (senario where that is used and why and how  .
    i will give you maximun reward points if  i can understand them .

    Hi,
    IDOC Programming
    There are two processes in IDOC processing one is INBOUND PROCESS( IDOC coming to the system and its handling at various stages)  and the other is OUTBOUND PROCESS( IDOC is send to other system  . Separate ABAP programs are written for these 2 processes and different configuration settings are required for each one .Depending upon the trigeering mechanism different programming approaches are used.OUTBOUND PROGRAMS handle the IDOC creation and INBOUND PROGRAMS handle the inbound IDOC and the data trasfer from the IDOC to the database tables.
    NEED FOR ABAP PROGRAMMING arises if
    1)New IDOC was created
       Depending upon the triggering mechanism i.e change pointer,message control
       etc the programming technique changes and the type of process.
    2)Existing IDOC was extended
       User Exits are used to populate data in new segments added and to read them 
       back.
    3)To enhance an exsiting process.
       User Exits are used . 
    Basic structure of an OUTBOUND PROGRAM
    The basic structure of all outbound programs is same. The CONTROL
    record which is of TYPE EDIDC has to be filled. It contains important fields like
    IDOCTP      IDOC type
    MESTYP    Message Type
    RCVPRN    Recieving Partner (Destination)
    RCVPRT    Partner Type (it is LS i.e Logical System)
    The DATA RECORD internal table which is of TYPE EDIDD has to be filled
    in the same order as there are segments in the IDOC definition.
    It has 2 important fields which are to be filled ,these are
    SEGNAM  Name of the segment
    SEGDATA Data in the segment and can be upto 1000 bytes.This field
                    is corresponds to each data segment in the IDOC.
    e.g.
    DATA INT_EDIDD LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA W_SEGDATA LIKE zsegment "custom segment zsegment
           INT_EDIDD-SEGNAM = 'ZSEGMENT'
           W_SEGDATA-field1 = value    "taken from some table
           W_SEGDATA-field2 = value    "taken from some table
           INT_EDIDD-SEGDATA = W_SEGDATA
           APPEND INT_EDIDD
    This will fill the data record corresponding to the segment ZSEGMENT . For all
    segments the sam steps will be repeated until all the data corresponding to all the
    segments in the idoc is filled in the internal table of type EDIDD.
          There is only one control record and can be multile data records in the idoc
    structure.
    Which data is to be extracted from the tables to be filled in EDIDD type internal table is determined in standalone programs from the objects which are specified in the selection screen and from the object key passed to the function module in case of message control and is taken from BDCP table in case of change pointers using function modules "CHANGE_POINTERS_READ"
          In case of stand alone programs and function modules based on change pointers method the function module "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE" is used to send the IDOC to ALE layer for distribution ,in case of message control it is handled automatically by the RSNASTED program invoked by the message control.                     
    OUTBOUND PROCESS AND OUTBOUND PROGRAM
    Outbound programs are used in outbound process to genearte IDOCs . There
    purpose is to extract the data from the tables and to fill the IDOC data records
    and the control record in the IDOC and pass ito the ALE layer for distribution to the recieving system .
    Depending upon the triggering mechanism (how and when the outbound program will be started different techniques and interface is used for outbound program.
    1)Message control
    Application like PO(purchase order) creation use this technique , where the output type is linked to the application(Message control is a configurable cross application component which can be set in IMG .Such programs are created in the form of function modules and linked to the output type which is linked to the apllication.These have predefined interfaces.
    In outbound programs(function module) that use message control the key of the
    application document is passed to the function module whcig will read the data from the table depending upon the key passed(NAST structure) and fill the IDOC segemnts with the application data.The control record is also passed to the function module but is not fully filled, the rmaining fields are filled and the control is passed back to the calling program which is RSNASTED and is invoked by the
    message control to process ALE and EDI output types and this program on recieving the IDOC data will create the physical IDOC in the system.
    The parameteers passed to the function module are
    IMPORTING PARAMETERS
    OBJECT LIKE NAST
      It contains documents key.
    CONTROL_RECORD_IN  LIKE EDIDC
      It contains the partailly filled control record
    EXPORETING PARAMETER
    OBJECT_TYPE
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT LIKE EDIDC
    TABLES
    INT_EDID LIKE EDIDD
    The internal table used to fill the data records in the same order as they exists in 
    the IDOC.
    The important parameters that should be filled in the custom function module are
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT and  INT_EDIDD .The OBJK field of the structue NAST contains the key of the apllication document.
    2)Stand alone programs
      Generally used for Master Data transfer and as such depending upon the requirement can have different interfaces.The programs have a selection screen which has select options to select the objects, and parameters for specifying the recipient Logical System and the Message Type.
    Data is selected based on the specified objects from the tables . and control record of type EDIDC is created and filled with important values like DIRECTION ,IDOCTP,RCVPRT,RCVPRN and MESTYP .
    Data is filled in an internal table of TYPE EDIDD according to segment definitions
    and in same order and the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called passing the control record and the internal table containg IDOC data and importing an internal table consisting of control records for each communication IDOCS created.
    3)Change pointer
    Change Pointer table is read and checked if changes were made to important fields , if so the outbound program will be triggered automatically , these have predefined interfaces
