IDOCS?? Java Caps?? How does both work ??

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have a requirement from my client. Use idocs from SAP to a java aplication using java CAPS´. I allready read some documents about idocs and java CAPS and how to configure it but i still have some doubts, and if some could help em on this i'll be apreciated

1 - Can i make custom idocs. Send a idoc from R3 with Z fields and a custom structure? Or only standart idocs ?

2 - This requirement from my client, cames in a upgrade to several Interfaces. This interfaces are treated with TXT files, with several hundred of lines, treated each line individually, but the anwser goes also ina TXT file with the resposnse to all of the lines of the file received. My question is, if a idoc can return a list, like the anwser to all the lines received from the file, or an idoc for each line?? This is, for each line in the file, the the java aplication has to generate an event to R3 generate an IDOC in response to the line in question.

3 - Im still newbie in R3 and IDOCS, but what i think, its this IDOC will be sent every time that the java aplication call an RFC. This RFC will make the procedure that it's needed and will generate the IDOC, i only dont understand it's how i'll create the IDOC after all the procedure needed on the RFC that will be called... If someone could help me on this...

Thank's in Advance,

Yes, you can create Zidocs with Zfields.

3)Q:

Once you called RFC there is a possibility in SAP to Generate IDoc ..these are called ALE/IDOC settings and Change pointer concepts will be used to configure the same..

for further details ..we need the issue in more detail..
