Dear All,
Please, can anyone tell me what is the difference between ALE/EDI and RFCs?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Umesh.Hi prasad,
1) ALE = Application Link Enable: Initially developed for SAP as an abstract layer to extract master and transactional data to be sent ellectronically to other SAP systems. These days is also being used to send data no non-SAP systems. ALE is not a protocol or anything like that, it's just abstract layer composed by a set of applications which are capable of extracting aplication data on a 1-time basis or periodically, by selection criteria or incrementally by deltas.
2) In contrast, EDI = Electronic data interface, this is a comunication protocol not designed by SAP but it´s an industry standard. Of course most SAP software supports EDI, but EDI it's no software but the specification of the protocol in itself.
These r some major difference b/w ALE and EDI:
ALE: used to transfer IDOC with in the R3 distributed system.
EDI: used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system
ALE --This method is used to transfer master data
EDI--This method is maximum used to transfer transactional data.
ALE--RFC port is used
*EDI*-- FILE port is used
ALE--Data transfer takes place from one mother client to N different clients
EDI-- one partner 2 other partner thru customer distribution model
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.
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.
ALE allows for efficient and reliable communication between distributed processes across physically separate SAP systems.
ALE is based on application to application integration using messaging architecture. A message defines data that is exchanged between two processes. IDocs are containers that hold data exchanged between the two systems.
Benefits of ALE:
Integration with non-SAP systems: ALE architecture allows third party applications to integrate with SAP system.
Reliable Distribution: Once message type created and the receiver of the message is determined, ALE delivers the message to the recipient. If there is any network problem it will buffer the message and delivers the message once the network is restored. It also ensures that the message is not delivered twice.
Release Upgrade: Any of the distributed system can be upgraded to the new release of SAP without affecting the functionality. The ALE layer ensures backward compatibility of messages exchanged between systems.
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.

Hi,
I'm about to implement Spec2000 to RFC interface. since XI does not support EDI (no EDI adaptors available) i'll have choose one out of two options:
1. manipulate EDI as it was regular text file.
2. use 3rd party tool as an adaptor.
i belies my first option is complicated and clearly has great risk, so i'm looking for as much leads as i can get.
Tnx in advance

Option 1 - I guess that is not a good idea considering the complexity in EDI messages. But then it denpends how many interfaces you have. If there are very less say under 10 interfaces using the EDI spec. then it is still worth investing time and money on coming up with the manipulation but else.... its a night mare.
Option 2 - There are various third party adapter available ex. seeburger, iway etc which you can make use. Only thing is it comes with a cost but life becomes much easier. -
EDI, Wrapper RFCs, ABAP Proxies
Hi Experts,
Could you please give some idea about the following things.
1. EDI
2. Wrapper RFCs
3. ABAP proxy( Inbound & Outbound)
4. Creating and Running Jobs in SAP
5. Sql Trace(Tcode = ST05)
Regards
SaraSara,
1. EDI --> This is a standard for data exachnge between partners. More info in this link and also this article,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Data_Interchange
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/135b0b94-0701-0010-f6a9-86a14057544a
3. ABAP Proxy --> Used to connect XI to a SAP system ona WAS 6.20 or greater. Uses Native XI protocol to comminuate to XI and is thereby supposed to provide better perfromance.

Production Copy Back - RFC's/Ports/EDI
Before copying back from production to pre-production we want to export the RFC destinations/Ports/EDI partners from the pre-production environment. When the production copy back has been completed we want to import the RFC destinations/Ports/EDI partners copied previously back into pre-production environment. Does anyone have a definitive list of tables that should be copied to perform this task.
I know SAP identify OSS note 182172 for the EDI partners but what about the RFC's and ports. We know we have to do some manipulation of the ALE/EDI partner/RFC's after but it does reduce the workload greatly rather than having to recreate everything again. We have performed an SQL trace on each area to identify the tables.
ColinIt looks infotype for the Unit relationship is missing. How did you copy back or replicate it ?

Hi Experts,
My Scenario: EDI to RFC Synchronous scenario.(Order Status Inquiry interface-- 869/870)
Guys could you suggest whether do i need to use BPM to achieve the output file.
1. we have EDI struture imported from stylus studio and used two mappings as follows
Mesage Mappings:
EDI input request xml file (869 EDI xml File) -
RFC request structure
RFC response Structure -
EDI output xml file (870 EDI XML file)
Interface Mappings:
one interface mapping
My doubt was i have seen some scenarios in SDN that we can achieve sync scenarios without using BPM with the help of module configurations in the file
adapter.
Else do we need to go for the BPM to achieve such scenarios.
Thanks,
--Sai.Such scenarios can be easily achieved using standard SAP module Request Response bean (without using BPM)

Communicate between SAP & mainframe
Hi,
Could someone please help... i need to pass data back & forth between SAP & mainframe. what do i need to have? we will be on ERP 2004. your help is greatly appreciated. thanks.hello jothivel,
IMHO your statement is not true as a general rule. There is a little bit of too much a hype or even fanaticism around XI at the moment.
If you have a single Mainframe system and a single SAP installation and if you have a single integration task, a simple point-to-point integration using traditional communication mechanisms like EDI or RFC or more modern ones like web services would surely be sufficient whereas setting up a complex (often ressource-intensive)integration middleware (and aquiring the needed skills to operate and customize it) just for this task is an overkill.
In reality not every customer faces a landscape with numerous systems to integrate and partners to collaborate but has simple integration challenges concerning two systems and limited information to exchange.
Of course, if, for whatever reason, you already have a middleware like XI in place, it makes sense to use it for every additional integration task, be it a mainframe or desktop to exchange data with.

Hi,
How can the data be migrated? I have a question that what are the topics the comes under data migration? I think data can be migrated through BDC, LSMW, BAPIs.
In the case of data conversions- BDC, LSMW, BAPIs. ALE, EDI, IDOC, RFC are under Interfaces. Am i right? Please suggest me are there any methods comes under data migration other than these..? what comes under conversions..& what under Interfaces? please suggest me..
Regards,If you get data from another system to SAP on a daily or periodic basis. Then you will have to build a interface for that requirement. If you want to retire the legacy sytem. Then the data in the legacy system will have to be added to SAP system. Then you will have to build a conversion. (The only difference is conversion is for one time use only). Where as interface are used to get data from legacy system. Conversions are used to retire the legacy system.

idoc:
Data Creation in 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.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.

Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
Generate outbound partner profiles;
Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)

EDI:
Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

EDI FLOW :
Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

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.

Main Difference Between EDI and IDOC Based On RFC
In IDOC ,RFC is Used to define the characteristics of communication links to a remote system on which a functions needs to be executed.
What About EDI ?Hi Saurabh,
Check this..Hope it helps you.
EDI is nothing but Electronic data interchange. SAP will support EDI through Intermediate documents (IDOCS).
EDI (Electronic Document interchange) - EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents between the computer systems of business partners, using a standard format over a communication network.
EDI is also called paperless exchange.
Advantages:
Reduced Data entry errors
Reduced processing time
Availabilty of data in electonic form
Reduced paperwork
Reduced Cost
Reduced inventories and better planning
Standard means of communications
Better business process
EDI has two process
1. Outbound process
2. Inbound process
OP:
1.Application document is created.
2.IDOC is generated
3.IDoc is transferred from SAP to Operating system layer
4.Idoc is converted into EDI standards
5.Edi document is transmitted to the business partner
6.The Edi Subsystem report status to SAP
IP:
1.EDI transmission received
2.EDI document is converted into an IDOC
3.IDOC is transferred to the SAP layer
4.The application document is created
5.The application document can be viewed.
IDOC:
IDOC is a container that can be used to exchange data between any two process.
Each iDoc is assigned a unique number for tracking and future reference.
iDoc Consist of several segments,and segments contain several fields.
iDoc contains the following three type of records...
1.One Control Record.
2.One or many Data Record
3.One or many Status record.
PORT:
Port is used in the outbound process to determine the name of the EDI subsystem program,the directory path where the idoc file will be created at the operating system level,the idoc file names and the rfc desinations.
RFC Destination:
Used to define the characteristics of communication links to a remote system on which a functions needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
Partner profile specified the various componets used in an outbound process ( Partner number,IDoc type,message type,Port,Process code),the mode in which it communicates with the subsystem(batch or immediate) and the person to be notified in case of errors.
Message Control
Used in pricing,account determination,material determination,and output determination.The message control component enables you to encapsulate business rules with out having to write abap programs.
Process:
Setup RFC destinations SM59
Port Destinations WE21
Partner Profile WE20
Message control NACE
Purchase Order ME21
Check IDOCs WE02,WE05
Explain to me about Idoc?
IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system.
IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions: Each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database.
Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions.
A large enterprise's networked computing environment is likely to connect many geographically distributed computers to the main database. These computers are likely to use different hardware and/or operating system platforms. An IDoc encapsulates data so that it can be exchanged between different systems without conversion from one format to another.
IDoc types define different categories of data, such as purchase orders or invoices, which may then be broken down into more specific categories called message types. Greater specificity means that an IDoc type is capable of storing only the data required for a particular transaction, which increases efficiency and decreases resource demands.
An IDoc can be generated at any point in a transaction process. For example, during a shipping transaction process, an IDoc may be generated that includes the data fields required to print a shipping manifest. After a user performs an SAP transaction, one or more IDocs are generated in the sending database and passed to the ALE communication layer. The communication
layer performs a Remote Function Call (RFC), using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model.
The IDoc is transmitted to the receiver, which may be an R/3, R/2, or some external system.
Re,Manas -
RFC call fails while implementing Inovis EDI. ' NO AUTORITY FOR CONNECTION
Hi All,
We are implementing 'Inovis's' EDI solution. I have narrowed done the error to note 618941. It is telling me to modify the SEC file to allow a RFC_REMOTE_EXEC call.The SEC file came down in the form of a physical file. So I am really not sure what to do here. I don't know where this file should reside. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
DianaI figured it out. Thanks.
