[Former Member]

Hi experts ,

I want to send the data from version 4.7 to 6.0 using the ALE IDOC.

please expalin me what are the steps i have to do for the same.

Is there any reservations expressed in this approach specifically on the lines that the structures between these two versions are different.

Thanks,

- Create logical system (txn BD54)

- Assign client to Logical system (txn SCC4)

- Generate ports (txn WE21)

- Create partner profiles (txn WE20)

- Create distribution model (txn BD64)

Now you can use the required transactions like BD10 (to send materials), BD12 (to send customers), BD14 (to send vendors)....which would create the IDocs. You can view the generated IDocs via txn WE02 as you note down the system time when the IDocs are generated. You can use txn BD87 too to trace the IDocs at the sender...

Yes, Port has the configuration. Goto WE21 and expand the Transaction RFC node and select

the Port that you are using. Here you have to Select either IDoc record types 4.x or

IDoc record types 3.0/3.1 depending on the system verison with which you are communicating with.
