Customer Master Data via a Bapi/ALE

Hello All. I am new to this forum. I have a couple of questions.

What I am trying to do: I have to interface to SAP with Websphere Message Broker which has inbuilt nodes to interface with SAP using BAPI or ALE to send Customer Master Record (create/update/delete)

The questions I have:

1/ Has anyone done this? What did you use BAPI or ALE?

2/ When a Customer Master IDOC is sent to SAP, if successful, a return code is sent back by SAP. This indicates that SAP has received the IDOC successfully. However, our requirement is that we have to know whether the IDOC was successfully posted within SAP. I am of the opinion that this is manual task within SAP and it should not be the function of the middleware layer as its responsibility is only to successfully deliver the IDOC's. I would welcome opinions on this issue. Please let me know If there is a way to determine if the IDOC has been successfully posted in SAP.

3/ Is there anywhere where I can get an XML representation of the Customer Master Record. I want to see the structure and the available fields. How can I get this info from SAP?

Thank you

Yes u can view the idoc in WE02/WE05 (Idoc monitoring)

When u ase IDOC for customer , the basic type is DEBMAS05..Goto WE60, specify the basic type as DEBMAS05(latest) and then u have the all the segments , fields used with doucmentation.
