WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software
The adapter can process unparsed ALE events for applications or components that have parsing capability. The adapter processes the unparsed IDocs as it does for parsed IDocs, except that it does not parse the data part of the IDoc. The direct exchange of IDocs in the adapter enables high-performance, asynchronous interaction with SAP, because the parsing and serializing of the IDoc occurs outside the adapter.
In the case of split IDocs, the wrapper contains only a single, unparsed IDoc object.
In the fixed-width format of an unparsed IDoc, the segment data of the IDoc is set in the IDocData field of the business object. It is a byte array of fixed-length data.
The entire segment length might not be used. The adapter pads spaces to the fields that have data; the rest of the fields are ignored, and an end of segment is set. The end of segment is denoted by null.
The next segment data processed as unparsed data would be appended after the null.
