outbound interface

Can someone suggest me what is the best technique for an outbound interface when it comes to transfer some flat files from SAP to an internal reporting system?

It can be done using IDOCs or ther are some other methods as well?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Guess you can use IDOC's if both the system is on SAP as it has good trouble shooting capabilities.

Alternatively you can use ABAP RFC function calls to do a FTP and transfer the files to the target system.

The other option is write a simple ABAP program to write the files on the UNIX server and then have a Unix Shell Script to run in the unix server which will pick up this file and FTP it to the target system.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi,

If the internal system is SAP then you can use IDoc (file based) technology to transfer the data between two systems.

If the internal system is Non SAP then perhaps you can use FTP method.

Especially, the file size and data volume are huge.
