Scheduling IDoc Transfer to Communication Layer (SAP Library

Scheduling IDoc Transfer to Communication Layer

When an IDoc is transferred to the communication layer, a transactional RFC (tRFC) forwards it to an external system. The ALE layer transfers the IDoc.

The ALE layer processes the outbound IDoc and controls its dispatch. Depending on the partner profile settings in Customizing for ALE, IDocs can be transferred in the following ways:

IDocs assigned to the same partner and message type are collected and the RSEOUT00 program later forwards them to the communication layer.
To do this, in ALE Customizing choose:
Basis
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
Modelling and Implementing ALE Business Processes
Partner Profiles and Time of Processing
Schedule IDoc Dispatch in Packets

You can process IDocs that are ready for transfer manually in ALE Administration (IDocs ® Monitoring ® Process IDocs manually).

The IDoc is forwarded to the communication layer immediately.

Note

You should use the outbound processing mode Collect IDocs, especially if you are distributing master data. System performance is better.

You can also Process IDocs in Packets in the "collect" processing mode.

To go to the ALE administration functions, from the SAP menu choose

Modelling and Implementing Business Processes
Partner Profiles and Time of Processing
Maintain Partner Profiles Manually or
Generate Partner Profiles.

Under outbound parameters choose the output mode Collect IDocs and transfer.
