WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software

Inbound processing

The adapter supports inbound processing (from the SAP system to the adapter) for the ALE interface only. The adapter can process events as individual IDocs or as an IDoc packet. Additionally, the IDoc can be sent in a parsed format or it can be sent directly (without conversion).

Inbound event processing consists of the following steps:
  1. The adapter generates event listeners to the SAP system.
  2. Whenever an event occurs in SAP, the event is sent to the adapter by way of the event listeners.
  3. The adapter converts the event into a business object before sending it to the endpoint.

The adapter uses the event recovery mechanism to track and recover events in case of abrupt termination. The event recovery mechanism uses a data source for persisting the event state.
