IDoc Listener Settings page

Click IDoc Listener Settings to open the page. It permits you to make an additional load balancing test connection.

Procedure

  1. Select Listen for IDocs received through this connection so that a listener server runs continuously on the InfoSphere® DataStage® server machine. This checkbox is selected by default. If selected, this option indicates that the connection is enabled for use with IDoc Extract or IDoc Load.

    If Listen for IDocs received through this connection is cleared, the other controls on the IDoc Listener Settings page and DataStage Job Options for IDocs page are disabled (including the labels for the controls). Also, if cleared, the Import Into, IDoc Types, and IDoc Log buttons on the DataStage Connections for R/3 page of the InfoSphere DataStage Administrator for SAP utility are disabled when you select that connection.

  2. Specify IDoc Listener Program ID. The listener registers this program ID with the R/3 system. Use the same program ID for the tRFC port on the SAP R/3 system to be invoked when the R/3 system sends an IDoc to InfoSphere DataStage.
  3. Clear Return status update upon successful receipt of IDoc to prevent the listener from sending status messages to the R/3 system when IDocs are received. (It is set by default.) Do this to reduce the load incurred by the R/3 system when it sends IDocs to InfoSphere DataStage.
  4. IDoc Server (or IDoc Listener) uses Gateway server to connect to SAP server. If the Application Server is used as an SAP connection on Connection and Logon Details, the IDoc server uses the same Application Server as the Gateway Server and hence you need not provide any additional IDoc Listener SAP Connections Details. Therefore, the section gets disabled if you have defined the Application Server connection.

    However, if you define Load Balancing connection on Connection and Logon Details page, you must provide the Gateway server details for the IDoc Server. Therefore, in addition to Load Balancing connection parameters, you must provide IDoc Listener SAP Connections details for successful connection test. If you fail to provide it, test connection fails with the following warning.

Results
