Sending EDI IDocs using ALE

To maximize performance during development and testing, always use ALE format IDocs when sending data using a JALE target. The SAP R/3 adapter will translate EDI format IDocs to ALE when necessary. This simplifies the development effort when converting file-based interfaces such as EDI to ALE.

Note: This automatic conversion feature should be used only for development and testing. It should not be used in a production environment because it severely degrades performance (by a factor of about 1,000).
