Monitoring the IDoc AdapterLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can use the IDoc monitor when you need information about the messages processed with the IDoc adapter available on AS Java.

Integration

If you want to process IDocs (intermediate documents) with the Advanced Adapter Engine, you use the Java IDoc adapter. You can also use the Java IDoc adapter to connect non-SAP business systems to the Advanced Adapter Engine and process their requests. The processing can be done in the following ways:

  • The Java IDoc adapter converts the IDocs to PI messages. These messages are in IDoc XML format and can be processed in the Integration Server pipeline.

  • The Integration Server transfers PI messages to the Java IDoc adapter. The adapter converts the IDoc XML format to native IDoc format and sends the IDoc to the identified receiver system using the standard Java IDoc interface.

For more information, see Characteristics of the IDoc Adapter (AAE) and Advanced Adapter Engine .

Features

  • You can use the IDoc message monitor to search for IDoc messages processed in the adapter. Based on the various parameters of the IDoc message you provide as search criteria, the monitor retrieves the messages and displays information about them. For more information, see Displaying IDoc Messages .

  • You can use the IDoc metadata monitor to load and display IDoc metadata information. You can also clear the metadata for the selected IDOC type from the cache. For more information, see Displaying IDoc Metadata .

More Information

IDocs can also be converted using the IDoc adapter on the Integration Server. For more information about monitoring this adapter with transaction IDX5, refer to the documentation of the Integration Engine.
