Create a Simple IDoc Interface with AIF Configuration

[bsmanjunathk]

Hello All,

I was referring below SAP blog for Create a simple IDoc interface to enable monitoring IDocs with SAP Application Interface Framework.

https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/aif-idoc-monitoring-interface-create..html

I see they have created a Custom Namespace in their example ?

In case our requirement is to enable monitoring Idocs with SAP AIF for a standard Idoc/Message type, still do i need to create it in Custom Namespace

yes, if you like to monitor or manage your IDocs using AIF regardless if it's a standard IDoc or a custom, you need to create an AIF interface in your own custom AIF namespace

Thank you Alex. I was wondering why SAP has given standard namespace for each Functional area ,if we need to create Custom AIF namespace. Also, i see we were able to use standard namespace for API's, but not for Idocs. We were able to see the standard message type in /AIF/ERR but not in AIF/IFMON when we created interface in standard namespace.

Check out this blog post to find out for which interfaces and APIs SAP ships AIF interfaces

wrt your other question, best is to go through one of the tutorials on our AIF topic page to understand the AIF concepts and what needs to be done to see the interfaces in the monitor
