Step 7. Create the Send Request Workflows

Create one send request workflow for each processing workflow. The send request workflow includes a send request session which sends requests for data to SAP. You can use the send request workflows to access data from segments in SAP.

The processing and send request workflows must have unique names within the repository. If a workflow has the same name as another workflow in the same repository, then the PowerCenter Integration Service fails to start the workflow.

To create a send request workflow:

In the Workflow Manager, click Connections > Application.

Verify that the Destination Entry for the SAP_ALE_IDoc_Writer application connection is the same as the DEST parameter you configured for the logical system in the SAP system.

Create a session for the send request mapping.

Open the session properties.

On the Mapping tab, click the Targets node.

Optionally, from the Connections settings on the Mapping tab (Targets node), select the relational connection that you created.

Select the Generate Request ID attribute.

Click the Files and Directories node.

For the Send_request attribute, enter the source file directory where you deployed the request file.

Enter the source file name for the request file.

Click OK to close the session properties.

Link the start task to the send request session.
