Abstract Interface for IDoc Proxy

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Do we need to make Abstract interfaces for IDocs and Proxys too if we want to use them in BPM?

Hi,

Yes.. U need to. But While creating Interface determination, Inbound interface needs to be ur actual IDOC not the abstract one.

Does same apply for proxy too?

Hey

i guess you are confusing a little bit in between IDOC and proxy.Proxy is a way of communicating with R/3 system(ABAP proxy) or WAS>6.2.we can't develop proxies for abstract interfaces.Proxies work only for inbound or outbound interfaces coz we either send/receive data via proxy,in no way we send/receive data to a business process via proxy hence no question of developing proxy for abstract interafce

Thanx

Hi All,

I have a scenario where I am getting file from two diff file sources, I have to perform N:1 mapping on them to send it to one SAP system (using proxy) using BPM.

Now as my mapping is inside BPM,

Do I need to create abstract interface for 2 file interfaces and one for proxy structure?

Hi,

Yes, we need to create abstarct interface proxy structure.

Hey Xier

please have a look at the below blog

/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/07/27/idocs-multiple-types-collection-in-bpm

this collects IDOCs and merge them,ur case is only to merger them so u dont need to have a loop in BPM ,just use the multimapping in BPM,but i guess ur more concerned with the interfaces and mappings so this blog will definitely help you.

let us know if u have any problems

Thanx

Aamir,

I agree with u that we can't create proxie's for Abstract interfaces. But consider the case I want to call Proxy inside BPM, is this possible?

Yes its possible. As I mentioned in my previous replies for IDOC's .Similarly for Proxy receiver Interface determination we need to give Actual Inbound Interface name instead of Abstract. MI_Proxy_Abs --> use MI_Proxy_IB . Provided both the interfaces has the same structure.

I hope it clears!!!

Aamir,

I am not talking about creating proxy for abstract interface, my question is do we habe to create a abstract interface for a proxy to do mapping inside BPM?

yes we are on the same platform now:)

yes we do need to create abstract interface for a message structure which will send the data to SAP system via proxy

Thanx
