SAPBODS integration using IDOCS

ByPraveenAddanki,HCLAXON

1.Introduction:
ImagineyouwanttobuildaReportingSolution,notaDataWarehouseinpureterms.Sosomebodyopens
thebalancesheetreportanddoesnotlikethewayitlooks.SoabookinginSAPiscreatedtocorrectitand
then....hehastowaittheentirenightuntiltheDataWarehousegetsrefreshed.Anotheroptionwouldbeto
configureSAPsoitsendsallchangestothereportingdatabaseimmediately.AndthatiswhatIDOCsare
for.
On the downside though, to configure SAP to actually send changes is quite a challenge. If an IDOC is
providedbySAPalreadyitisnotthatbad,butifyouwanttodistributechangesfordataSAPneverthought
about,youhavetowriteyourIDOCfromscratchandhookitintoeverysingleapplicationdealingwiththat
data.
The basic problem is the IDOC design. It is not like a database triggers that is independent from all the
applicationsandfiresnomatterwhoandhowachangehappened.Itishappeningonapplicationlevel,so
thereisacommonABAPcallthathastobedoneateverysingleapplication.
InsideSAP, a couple of settings have to be made, this configuration is mandatory for both sending and
receivingIDOCs.ThefollowingconfigurationsstepsareinvolvedtosendIDOCsfromBODStoSAPECC.
