Hi,

We are trying to integrate SAP system with other applications. The tools we are using is, MQSeries 5.3, MQlink for R/3 and Neonadapter for R/3.
Here is the architecture of the system
1) SAP machine (it is a dedicated machine)
2) AIX machine - where we have MQSeries and MQlink for R/3 Installed
3) Windows2k Machine _ where we have MQSeries and MQSI installed.

We have passed the IDocs from the SAP system via MQSeries R/3 Link to a target system(development box - Win2k Server). We also have MQSI 2.1 installed in our development machine which we intend using for routing and transformation. When the IDoc arrives to the mQseries queue, we are not in a position to figure out the format of the Idoc, so we could parse and transform it to our business needs. I believe Neonadapter for R/3 helps us do it. The documentation abt Neonadapter is not very informative and has left us clueless. Has anyone worked with NeonAdapter for R/3? Where do i install the Neonadapter? is it on the AIX machine where MQLink for R/3 is installed? or on the win2k machine? i believe the Neonadapter will parse and will automatically create a input format out of the IDoc. Is it true? Can anyone suggest me the architecture and how to go abt implementing it.
Your views are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Vishal

I'm not sure why you need Neon Adapter if you already have R/3Link, WMQI 2.1, and MQ 5.3 installed. WMQI 2.1 CSD03 can do the IDOC parsing for you. If you are sending outbound IDOCs just set up a outbound R/3 Link server that uses a queue that points to a inbound queue on a WMQI message flow that will parse your IDOC and transform it to the format you need. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

My knowledge of the Neonadaptor is as follows based on limited use on a project. I look at it as a tool to generate NEON formats for defined formats.
The NeonAdapter works from a Window system which also has the NEON component of WMQI installed (i.e. database + nnsyreg.dat configuration etc.) for example assume DBname = NNSYDB
The neonadaptor acts as a client to the SAP environment. It connects to the SAP environment. You then select an Idoc format from those available in your SAP environment and you then ask the software to build an input and/or NEON format which maps the Idoc.
This is then loaded into the WMQI Neon database (NNSYDB) on your local system. You can then NNFie -e (export) this format or use the NEON formatter to view the format as normal.
In WMQI you then use the NEONMSG domain and this format to parse the message from SAP.
Once the adaptor has built the format, it is as though you manually created the NEON format yourself using NEON formatter, but obviously witha lot less hassle.

Hope this helps
