Overview of the ALE interface for outbound processing

The adapter supports ALE outbound event processing by working with business objects that represent outbound IDocs.

The following steps describe how the adapter supports outbound processing for the ALE interface.
  1. The adapter uses an IDoc business object to populate the appropriate RFC-enabled function call used by the ALE interface.
  2. The adapter establishes an RFC connection to the ALE interface and pass the IDoc data to the SAP system.
  3. After passing the data to SAP, the adapter releases the connection to SAP.
  4. Because the ALE interface is asynchronous, SAP returns a return code only and a null object to the caller. When no exceptions are raised, the outbound transaction is considered successful. The success of the data being incorporated into the SAP application can be verified by inspecting the IDocs that have been generated in SAP.
Note: The adapter does not provide J2C local transaction support.
