ALE IDoc business objects support certain verbs and operations. The verb of a business object reflects its state and is definable for after-image objects only. An operation reflects the operation to be performed on the business object by the adapter.
ALE inbound business objects support the following verbs:
Verb | Definition |
---|---|
Create | The top-level business object and all contained children will be created. |
UpdateWithDelete | The top-level business object will or should be modified. Can include adding and deleting child objects. Any and all deleted child objects are known and reflected. |
Delete | The top-level business object and any contained children will or should be deleted. |
Verb determination for inbound processing
Supported verbs: ALE outbound business objects
ALE outbound business objects provide no verb support. The adapter ignores the value in the verb property of the business object graph.
For ALE inbound business objects, the application specific information of an operation is used to set the verb of the business graph. The application specific information of an operation contains the message type, message code and message function for an IDoc type. The business graph verb is set to the verb that corresponds to the operation that has application specific information matching the Control record fields. The adapter supports the following inbound operations.
Operation | Definition |
---|---|
AfterImageCreate | The top-level business object and all contained children will be created. |
AfterImageUpdateWithDelete | The top-level business object will or should be modified. Can include adding and deleting child objects. Any and all deleted child objects are known and reflected. |
AfterImageDelete | The top-level business object and any contained children will or should be deleted. |
The operation of an ALE outbound business object is invoked by the SCA client application that makes calls to SAP via the adapter. The SCA client must be designed so that the calls made by its InteractionSpec implementation invoke the operations. The adapter supports the following outbound operation.
Operation | Definition |
---|---|
Execute | Posts the IDoc business object to the SAP application. This is a one-way, asynchronous operation. In other words, no response is sent back. |
For all other operations, the adapter logs the appropriate error and raises a ResourceException.
