IDoc messaging standard
Receiving data from SAP systems.
IBM® App Connect Enterprise can receive data from SAP systems in various ways.
Two such ways are:
- ALE IDocs exported from SAP across the WebSphere® MQ Link for R3.
- File IDocs exported from SAP to the file system.
Such IDocs are a fixed-length text format, and can be modeled using the MRM domain Tagged/Delimited String Format (TDS).
The IDOC domain is deprecated.
Note: For SAP data that is received
from the WebSphere Adapter
for SAP, use the DataObject domain.
