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.
