Real time processing of IDOCs

Hi,

I have a requirement where SAP generates IDOCs and as soon as they are generated DataStage needs to process them, so I need to process the IDOCs real time.Is there any way (using MQ series or whatever) to do that.

Thanks.

If you have the adapter PACK for SAP, you can have the Idoc listener setting on.
(1) In the DataStage Administrator for SAP Connections, create a separate connection for the listener. You have an option of setting the Idoc listener settings. Also check Run appropriate DataStage jobs...option.
(2) Build your DataStage job using this connection

I have the PACKs installed. Even if I create a connection for the listener, does it ensure once IDOCs are generated by SAP, my DS job will get fired and process the IDOCs using IDOC extract stage.

Thats correct. If you build your DataStage job using the listener connection, it will be called whenever there is an Idoc sent from SAP
