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
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

NEON Adapter Manager will extract SAP IDoc/BAPI/RFC meta data and create corresponding formats in an NNSY database which can then be used in WMQI message flows to parse data. The adapter is both build time (extract meta data) and runtime (connectors to put and get from SAP).

You might like to look at the WMQI SAP IDoc support packs on the IBM site though! Much much much cheaper (free) - I rekon the NEON Adapter manager goes for tens & tens of thousands of pounds! However obviously you don't get any significant support commitment with free stuff!

If possible I'd not go with the NEON solution as IBM and Sybase seem to be diverging from each other more and more.

Another posibility would be the IBM Crossworld mysap.com adapter which could take an IDoc and translate into XML. I would seriously consider getting in touch with IBM sales w.r.t this!

W.r.t Architecture I'm always be keen to keep an MQSeries qmgr and any SAP connectivity on the same box - i.e. the central instance to keep things nice and simple if HA events take place.

Thanks

Jamie
