Difference between IDOC Type and Message Type

Hi, please let me know the difference between IDOC type and Message Type?
Thanks

Hi,
Message type is business name for IDOC you are sending hiding all technical details of the IDOC.
IDOC type gives more technical information about structure of the IDOC.
You will be linking IDOC type to message type while processing IDOC in runtime.  You will be specifying message type and IDOC type in WE20 trasaction which says which message will go to which partner whether it is outbound or inbound.

  • Difference Between Data type and message type

    Hi,
        i have doubt on data type and message type.why we are mapping the message type why not data type?wht is the difference between data type and message type?

    Hi Narayanana,
    Data type defines the structure of your xml message.Message type is the wrapper of data type.You will be using your message type while mapping and not the data type.Its the abstraction concept used in oops

    Hi Suresh,
    Data Type defines the structure of the message and it will be wrapped under Message Type.
    Hope the details below will clearify your doubts.
    A data type in a programming language is a set of data with values having predefined characteristics. Examples of data types are: integer, floating point unit number, character, string, and pointer.
    The characteristic of columns and variables that defines what types of data values they can store.
    Check out the details:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_type
    A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. At the following points in SAP Exchange Infrastructure you can refer to the message to be exchanged at runtime by using the message type:

  • What is the difference between partner function and partner type

    Hi Gurus,
    What is the difference between partner function and partner type?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi John,
    The partner types allow us to distinguish between different business partners such as customer, vendor, employee etc and the partner functions represent the functionality or role each partner plays within the business transaction.
    For example under the partner type Customer, you will find - Sold to party, Ship to party, Bill to party, Payer.
    The business partners that exist in the market place are represented with a partner type in the R/3 system. Examples of business partners are customer, vendor, employee and contact person.
    The following partner types are defined in the partner processing for the sales & distribution module –
    a.     AP – contact person (06)
    b.     KU – customer (07)
    c.     LI – vendor (08)
    d.     PE – employee/personnel (09)
    Assigning the partner functions in the SAP system determines the functions of particular partner in the sales process. One partner may take on several functions also.

  • Idoc types and message types

    Hi ,
    Anyone can send what are all the std idoc types and message types are there in SAP?
    Coz i dnt have SAP.
    Please let me know

    The IDoc type indicates the SAP format that is to be used to interpret the data of a business transaction.
    An IDoc type consists of the following components:
    ·       a control record
    This is identical for each IDoc type.
    ·       several data records
    One data record consists of a fixed key part and a variable data part. The data part is interpreted using segments, which differ depending on the IDoc type selected.
    ·       several status records
    These are identical for each IDoc type and describe the statuses an IDoc has already passed through or the status an IDoc has attained.
    You find various IDOC / Message types in SAP -

    IDoc Types - Message Types -Accounting Business Processes
    IDoc Types - Message Types - HR Business Processes

    Eg.
    General       Message types / IDoc types / BAPI
    Vendor        CREMAS / CREMAS02
    Customer      DEBMAS / DEBMAS03
    Accounting   Message types / IDoc types / BAPI
    G/L account   GLMAST / GLMAST01
    Cost center     COSMAS / COSMAS01
    Cost element  COELEM / COELEM01

  • Difference between IDOC Bundling and IDOC Packaging

    Hi,
    Can anybody please explain the difference between IDOC bundling and IDOC packaging?
    Thanks,
    Loveena.

    Hi,
    IDoc Bundling is the changing the occurance of IDoc.
    In a scenario If there is a necessitity for changing the Occurance of some segment of the IDOC u have to perform this steps
    1.Import the IDoc to XI.
    2.Export the IDoc(i.e XSD format) and save it to the local machine.
    3.Make changes to the IDoc structure by modifying the XSD file in the local machine.
    4.Save it as an XSD file Itself.
    5.Import the XSD file in the IR under the External Defination.
    6.Use this XSD in your Message Interface/Mapping which is same as IDoc structure but with some changes that u have made.
    Go Thru this Blog <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change Bundling - Trick without BPM</a> BY Michal Krawczyk where the Occurance of the IDoc is changed to 1...Unbounded from 1...999999999 by using the XSD.

  • What is difference between transport protocol and message protocol

    what is difference between transport protocol and message protocol
    please give definition and small explanation

    Hi,
    Transport protocol gives information about outside of message details, kind of system, security details.
    A transport protocol is a network protocol that has the capability of transferring some payload from one node to another, thus providing some level of transparency from the underlying network.
    Transport protocols are used as a mechanism to move payloads around a network. Typically, a payload will have a transport binding associated with it. For example, SOAP (acting as a payload) has a predetermined binding for HTTP (a transport protocol).
    Some common transport protocols include: HTTP, HTTP-R, SMTP and BEEP.
    Message protocol gives you an idea of message type XI payload

  • Difference between Idoc Adapter and Proxies..

    HI XI Guru's,
    I am new to XI, I wanted to know what is the difference between Idoc adpater and proxies. When and what should be preffered ?
    Warm Regards,
    - Priya R

    idocs which mean - (intermediate documents)  are standard  document formats which sap systems use to store as well send data from one system to another. If this is the format in which data has to received by R/3 then you will use idoc adapter in XI.  idoc adapter can be used to communicate between systems is with  SAP release higher than  3.1.X. Communication using idoc adapter is always asynchronous.
    proxies are available for communication between  SAP systems with version WAS 6.20 and above. They support both synchronous as well as asynchronous modes of communication. Generally when you are looking at developing new application using WAS 6.20 and above then you can design the interfaces for this new applications in SAP XI and generate the required code for these interfaces automatically in SAP systems using transaction code - SPROXY in the case of ABAP Proxy and in the case of Java proxies the code is generated by SAP XI system itself. You only have to implement these interfaces in your new application. So, basically you have to only worry about building the application and the interface part is taken care by XI itself. you can also look at using proxies when data has to be inserted or fetched from custom/standard tables in R/3 using XI.
    ,idoc adapter can be used for commuincation between ABAP stacks only but Proxy can be used for both ABAP as well JAVA stack.

    hi,
    there no rare rule whe you define your data type, why i tell you this, because you define a data type since the documentation that sender sistem team gives to you. so you only have to copy this structure to PI.
    now about Message Type less problems, because, you a Data type is assign to a Message Type, whats it means.
    when you define a DATA type you are defining the structure of you XML, que you assing the data type to a message type this structure pass to be an xml document.
    Thanks you
