New IDocs batch trigger

The New IDoc batch trigger allows you to listen to outbound IDocs from SAP in real time. You can use this trigger to process multiple IDocs in a single job. Note that the New IDoc batch trigger is only compatible with OPA v23.0 and higher.

To fully leverage this feature, configure the SAP system partner profile to enable sending multiple IDocs in one transaction. This allows you to process IDocs in batches and improve your IDocs transfer speed from system to system. IDocs batches are sent to Workato's webhooks gateway, and are subject to rate and memory limits.

LARGE BATCH SIZES

Configuring batch sizes larger than 1000 in SAP can result in errors.

New IDocs batch trigger

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

You must configure IDocs in your SAP system before using this trigger.

How batching works with IDocs

The New IDocs batch trigger process events based on the batch size you configure. For example:

Example 1

If you configure your batch size to 5 but ten IDocs are sent, two jobs are created with each job containing five IDocs.

Example 2

If you configure your batch size to 5 but two IDocs are sent, one job containing two IDocs is created.
