Differences between rfc and ale/idoc.

hi ..
will u please send the differences between rfc and ale/idoc's.

Hi,
Please reward with points if helpful................
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. There are three layers in ALE system: application services, distribution services, and communication services.
For communication services, ALE performs a Remote Function Call (RFC) using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. RFC is used to communicate between applications of different systems in the SAP environment includes connections between SAP systems as well as between SAP systems and non-SAP systems. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Means of creating and operating distributed applications.
The purpose of Application Line Enabling is to guarantee a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange with consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Application integration is achieved not via a central database, but via synchronous and asynchronous communication.
Application Link Enabling comprises the following three layers:
application services
distribution services
communication services
Two Development Models
     Distribution using BAPIs
     Distribution using Message type
The programming model "Distribution using message types" contains the definitions of message types and IDoc types and the ABAP code for processing inbound and outbound IDocs.
Defining message types and IDoc types:
If you want to create message type enhancements for master data distribution, you also have to create a new message type for each enhancement.
The ALE interface does not allow you to create different segment data for different IDoc types for the same message type.
Writing ABAP code:
         Outbound Processing
           Inbound Processing
You can find information on other ALE functions under:
                               Master Data Distribution
                              Communicating with Non-R/3 Systems
1. The Remote Function Call facility allows you to call an R/3 Function module on a remote machine.
2. To communicate between two R/3 Systems and also with an External System. External Application program also can call these function module for integration.
3. RFC or sRFC - Synchronous RFC
                 aRFC - Asynchronous RFC
                  tRFC - Transactional RFC
                  qRFC - Queued RFC (I.e. Serialization of tRFC)
Types of RFC Call
Synchronous
CALL FUNCTION Func Destination Dest
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION 'NONE' ...
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION BACK' ...
Asynchronous
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname
PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func

Difference between EDI and ALE.

Hi gurus,
     Let clarify my confusion in difference between EDI and ALE.please give a proper example for the same.
     please have a look my confusions as mentioned below:
    Case 1--In same company,suppose we r using two clients 417 and 416 and want to transfer sap data between these two clients.Then which process (EDI or ALE) has to be follow?
     Case2--Suppose want to transfer data from SAP system to non SAP system then which process(EDI or ALE) has to be follow.

Hi Ravi,
Jin has correctly explained.
Only two connectors are provided from SAP
JCO- for connecting java applications
>.Net connectors - for connecting >net applications
And SAP has provided these connectors bcoz these the two most popular technologies or framefork these days which are very common.
But In my previous examples , I try to explain the concepts only by giving .net as example.
Now for making you clear, No SAP connector is available for C++ for accessing RFC but C++ can access web services using XML and SOAP
Again Note these points.
RFC is SAP specific.
Used For----->
SAP applications- SAP applications
SAP Appl - Java Applications(Using JCO)
SAP Applications->Net Applications( using >NEt connectorprovided by SAP)
Web Service is open standard
Any Platform/Any Language to Any Platform/Language( which can understand SOAp and XML).

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALE

HI
COULD ANYBODY TEL ME
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAPI AND ALE

Hi Kalyan
ALE is a SAP specific method how to distribute data from and to SAP. It uses the asynchronous calls based on IDOC structures.
However in the distribution modell of ALE can also be used BAPIs. They will then automatically converted into IDOC structures. After creating the IDOCs they will be passed over to the receiver using the tRFC protocol.
Wheras the BAPIs are using the sRFC protocol.

What is the difference between rfc and idoc

hi,
My name is rambabu.can anyone of u please tell me the main differences between idoc and rfc??
Thanks in Advance

hi Ramesh,
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.

Difference between BAPI and IDocs

hello all
what is difference between BAPI and IDocs

Hi,
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.
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.
IDOC
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.

Difference Between BAPI And RFC in ABAP

Hi,
i want to know difference between BAPI and RFC in SAP,
can we call SAP GUI screen from NON SAP System Using BAPI.
Reg,
Hariharan

Hi Ravishankar,
The difference is not importat while you understand the concept.
I think, RFC is the protocol for calling functions from external systems in R/3.
I understand like BAPI a series of complet functions that SAP offers you for use and model a business use.
But if I need program a function that can be called for external system i would call it RFC_NAME, because is a unique function that makes a single task.
In other words, the difference i think is about work idea more than another thing.
RFC
A remote function call is a call to a function module running in a system different from the caller's. The remote function can also be called from within the same system (as a remote call).
RFC consists of two interfaces : A calling interface for ABAP Programs and a calling interface for Non-SAP programs.
The RFC Interface takes care of :-
- Converting all parameter data to the representation needed in the remote system
Calling the communication routines needed to talk to the remote system.
Handling communications errors, and notifying the caller, if desired ( using EXCEPTIONS paramater of the CALL FUNCTION).
BAPI
BAPIs are standardized programming interfaces (methods) enabling external applications to access business processes and data in the R/3 System.
BAPIs provide stable and standardized methods to achieve seamless integration between the R/3 System and external applications, legacy systems and add-ons.
BAPIs are defined in the BOR(Business object repository) as methods of SAP business object types that carry out specific business functions.
BAPIs are implemented as RFC-enabled function modules and are created in the Function Builder of the ABAP Workbench.
The most critical difference btwn BAPI and FM is that BAPI can be wrapped in Business objects whereas RFC cant.
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Difference Between BAPI and RFM

Dear Friends,
I have seen a few thread explaining the difference between BAPI and RFM(Remote-enabled function Modules) from functional point of view. I know that there are cases when both are available in BOR. Both can be implement using Object Oriented Technology.
Can any tell me how they differ from techincal point of view ? OR Are they same techinically ?
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh

hi,
Remote Function Call:
RFC is an SAP interface protocol.
Based on CPI-C, it considerably simplifies the programming of communication processes between systems.
RFCs enable you to call and execute predefined functions in a remote system - or even in the same system.
RFCs manage the communication process, parameter transfer and error handling.

Unable to differentiate between RFC and BAPI

So far I learnt that the two are both techniques used to realize communication between SAP and external
systems,and frequently via Remote-enabled Function.
   My confusion is the distinctions between the two. Would you please do me a favor? Tks

Hi   Alex,

another points,
BAPI is object oriented. It is placed under Business objects as methods.
RFC is just a Function module or a call.
RFC: is just a FM that can be called from remote system too(destination defined in transaction SM59).
BAPI: Business Application Programming Interface
A BAPI is a method of a business object defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR). For example, in the BOR, you can find a business object called SalesOrder, which conceptually represents a sales order in the system. A business object typically has several methods that can be used to read, create, modify a particular instance of the business object, or list instances of the business object matching certain selection criteria. These methods are BAPIs.
Technically, a BAPI is implemented using a RFM. But, unlike the non-BAPI RFMs, a BAPI is usually well documented, has nicer parameter names, and is supported by SAP for several SAP software releases. You can browse Business objects and BAPIs in the SAP system using transaction BAPI.

Difference between RFC adapter and a proxy

Can any one tell me the technical difference between RFC adapter and a proxy?
reg

There are advantages / disadvantages for RFC / Proxies / Idocs. So if I am in your position depending upon the requirement I will choose one. Some of the differences are:
RFC and Proxy:
RFC/BAPI has its own overhead of function call.
Proxies communicate with the XI server by means of native SOAP calls over HTTP .RFC does not, so you have to convert from SOAP to RFC calls and vice versa. So XML conversion is required.
ABAP Proxies uses Webservice and Http Protocols.
If you use ABAP Proxy , you can reduce the overhead calling the function again and again.
Proxy and Idoc:
IDOC : After recieving the strucutred data It processes it using a Function Module associated with it.
Proxy : Proxy is a structure where there is no processing function module associated. You need to explicitly write the Business Logic/Call the subroutines here
This is my absolutely my view. Another guy has his own response. So first go through your requirements and then you can decide for what to go.
Also go through this urls which may help you:

Difference between scripts and idocs

In real time why we are using scripts and idocs?what is the difference between scripts and idocs?pls tell me where we r using scripts and idocs?

Hi,
IDocs are simple ASCII data streams. When they are stored to a disk file, the IDocs are simple flat files with lines of text, where the lines are structured into data fields. The typical structured file has records, each record starting with a leading string that identifies the record type. Their specification is stored in the data dictionary.
Electronic Interchange Document
IDocs is the acronym for Interchange Document. This indicates a set of (electronic) information which builds a logical entity. An IDoc is e.g. all the data of a single customer in your customer master data file, or the IDoc is all the data of a single invoice.
Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
IDoc data is usually exchanged between systems and partners that are completely independent. Therefore, the data should be transmitted in a format that can easily be corrected by the computer operators. It is therefore mandatory to post the data in a human readable form.
Nowadays, this means that data is coded in ASCII format, including numbers which are sent as a string of figures 0 to 9. Such data can easily be read with any text editor on any computer, be it a PC, Macintosh, UNIX System, S/390 or any internet browser.
IDocs exchange messages
The information which is exchanged by IDocs is called a message and the IDoc is the physical representation of such a message. The name messages for the information sent via IDocs is used in the same ways as other EDI standards. .
Scrpits...
If the user wants to print documents such as invoices, purchase order, all such documents are printed with the use of forms. SAP allows the user to define these forms by using layout sets. SAP script is the tool used to create the layout set.
In order to print the document, the SAP system runs a program that collects the data for the document and feeds it into the layout set. This is called as Print Program.
SAP Provides a standard layout set for every printable document and usually there is no need to create layout sets as such. User just modifies the existing layout sets as per requirement of client.

Sam

Whats the difference between RFC destination of type "HTTP" and "TCP/IP"

Hi Folks,
I want to know the difference between RFC destination of type "H" and "T".
In what instances/tasks we would use them?
Looking forward for your valuable answers...
Cheers,
Ram.

Type of RFC connection.
By entering the type of RFC connection, you specify the communication method (TCP or SNA) and the logon type in the target sys
Type T (TCP/IP) destinations are connections to external programs that use the RFC API to receive 'Remote Function Calls'. You must specify the host name and the pathname of the program to be started. The communication method depends on how you select the program location.
Type H is the HTTP connection to R/3 system
Type G is the HTTP Connection to external server

Diff between EDI and ALE

Cand any one of you tell me exact difference between EDI and ALE

hi praneeth,
ALE: Application link enabling is a methodology used to transfer data between two applications
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is the standards to integrate data between those applications who support these standards
IDOC s are converted into a standard text format by EDI and send it to receiver application which is able to interpret that message means which support edi standards.
