Prerequisite Knowledge (SAP Library - IDoc Connector for XML Component (BC-FES-AIT))

Prerequisite Knowledge

Although you are sending or receiving XML documents when using the IDoc Connector for XML component, you are actually sending or receiving IDocs to or from an R/3 system.

This means that when sending an XML document it must convert to an appropriately structured and valid IDoc, and when receiving an XML document you should know how to interpret it as an IDoc.

You should:

Be familiar with the fundamentals of the IDoc protocol and the general structure of IDocs
Be able to construct a valid IDoc for the relevant R/3 application

In addition, you or your administrator should be able to set up the ALE and IDoc infrastructure. See Prerequisite Setup.
