Hi,
We are going to use MQ Series with SAP for IDocs. Currently we dont have a mapping and translating tool. In the absence of mapping and translating tool can MQ series be used for doing the same? If so, where do we do the mapping and translation?
Any ideas and suggestions appreciated.
TIA,
Manoj |

Hi Manoj,
We have done couple of System Integration with SAP in Singapore. Normally we use MQSI and MQSeries R/3 Link to integrate SAP with other System. MQSI is used for Mapping and Translation and R/3 is used for communication between MQSeries and SAP. You can download the manual from IBM Website which talks more about the Integration.
Regards

Hi Ved,
Thanks for the info.
But currently there is no plan to buy MQSI or any other mapping translation tool. So in that case can the same be acheived using just the MQ Series?
TIA,
Manoj |

Manoj,
MQSeries is only a transport mechanism. It moves messages, nothing else.
If you with to change the contents of a message, then you need to use MQSI (or something similar) or write your own code.
Cheers,

Hello Manoj,
Have you considered about MQAO including mySAP.com?

Hi All,
Thanks for the info.
My client has decided to go on hiring a VB guy and writing our own code for mapping.
But I read somewhere that there are exit handlers in MQSeries Link for R3 which can be used to format and convert data.
Can anyone please put some light on it?
TIA,
Manoj

Yes indeed, both the inbound and outbound link for R/3 servers have exit points to provide users the oportunity to manipulate the message data & MQMD, either received from SAP or from the inbound message.
The product comes with sample code and compilation details.
Link to Manual
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/library/manualsa/manuals/mqsr3.html
This is going to be a fairly serious piece of coding, IDocs are substantial data structures! Every time you need to change the mapping (i.e. sender or receiver app changes) or when you want to introduce a new interface your going to need to do more coding.. As a solution I'm not sure how forward thinking it is, might it retard the SAP integration in the long run?
