WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software

Outbound processing

The adapter includes an ALE interface so that clients can send outbound requests. The adapter supports ALE outbound event processing by working with business objects that represent outbound IDocs.

The following steps describe how the adapter supports outbound processing for the ALE interface.
Note: The client application that makes the request uses the interface information that was generated by the enterprise service discovery wizard.
  1. The adapter receives a request, which includes an IDoc business object, from a client application.
  2. The adapter uses the IDoc business object to populate the appropriate RFC-enabled function call used by the ALE interface.
  3. The adapter establishes an RFC connection to the ALE interface and passes the IDoc data to the SAP system.
  4. After passing the data to SAP, the adapter performs one of the following steps:
    • If the call is not managed by a J2C local transaction, the adapter releases the connection to SAP and does not return any data to the caller. When no exceptions are raised, the outbound transaction is considered successful. You can verify whether the data is incorporated into the SAP application by inspecting the IDocs that have been generated in SAP.
    • If the call is managed by a J2C local transaction, the adapter returns the transaction ID.

      The adapter uses the tRFC protocol to support J2C local transactions.
