Procedure

There are two ways of posting IDocs in ALE inbound processing:

  • Immediate processing:

    Upon receipt, inbound IDocs are immediately released for posting. ALE inbound processing splits the IDoc packets into individual IDocs.

  • Background processing

    Inbound IDocs and IDoc packets are first saved in the database. IDoc packets are split into single IDocs beforehand.

    The program RBDAPP01 later releases the saved IDocs for processing. Single IDocs can be put into packets and then processed.

    Proceed as follows:

    1. Set up background processing (IDoc/ALE area menu):

        IDoc Interface/ALE   Administration   Runtime Settings   Partner Profiles (WE20)  

      Then the required setting is: On the Inbound Parameters detail screen, select the Trigger by background program option.

    2. Schedule posting (ALE customizing):

        Transaction SALE   System Monitoring   IDoc Processing   Update IDocs in Receiver System  

      You can also process the IDocs manually by passing them to the posting function module. To do so, in ALE Administration, choose   Monitoring   Status Monitor (BD87)  , select the IDocs and then choose Process.

Note Note

You should choose background processing, especially if large data volumes are to be distributed. The load on the system is improved because the IDocs are generated and transferred to the communication layer at different times.

Packet Processing can be used to process individual inbound IDocs in the background. A function module capable of mass processing is required for this purpose. Further benefits are provided by

Processing IDocs in Parallel as part of inbound processing.

End of the note.
