Preparing Inbound and Outbound Messaging
To enable outbound and inbound messaging with the TIBCO Environment, you have to configure them in the SAP system first.
Inbound Messaging
To enable inbound messaging at run time, ensure that you implement the following configurations in the SAP system:
- Configurations of Invoking RFC/BAPIs from the TIBCO Environment
- To use an adapter configuration to invoke RFC/BAPIs in the SAP system, ensure your account has the authorization to invoke RFC/BAPIs.
Authorization for each business activity has to be given to the SAP client if the activity is performed by using an adapter configuration. For example, if you configure an inbound adapter configuration to create sales orders in the SAP system, the SAP client needs all the required permissions to create a sales order.
- Validate the authorizations in SAP GUI by running the transaction SE37 without specifying a destination.
- To use an adapter configuration to invoke RFC/BAPIs in the SAP system, ensure your account has the authorization to invoke RFC/BAPIs.
- Configurations of Publishing IDocs from the TIBCO Environment
- Create a logical system for adapter configurations. See Create a logical system for the adapter for details.
- Create a distribution model. See Create a distribution model for details.
- Define a partner profile. See Define a partner profile for details.
Outbound Messaging
To enable outbound messaging at run time, ensure that you implement the following configurations in the SAP system:
- Configurations of Invoking RFC/BAPIs from the SAP System
- Define an RFC destination in the SAP system. See
Define an RFC destination in the SAP system for details.
After creating an RFC destination, map it to a program ID. Outbound adapter configuraions are registered on the SAP gateway with this program ID. Therefore, outbound adapter configurations can receive RFC/BAPIs invoked on the RFC destination.
- Ensure that your SAP account is authorized to execute RFC/BAPIs.
- Define an RFC destination in the SAP system. See
Define an RFC destination in the SAP system for details.
- Configurations of Publishing IDocs from the SAP System
- Create a logical system for adapter configurations. See Create a logical system for the adapter for details.
- Establish the customer distribution model. See Establish the customer distribution model for details.
- Configure RFC communication.
- Test the SAP ALE configuration. In the SAP system, run a transaction for customer data to send IDocs to the logical system created in step 1.
