As most of us know all too well, a smooth flow of information between your business partners' systems and your own can have a large impact on the success of your business processes. The SAP Business Connector (BC) enables you to easily and reliably exchange IDocs with your partners via XML messaging over the Internet. This article, the second of a two-part discussion, details two data-mapping options for sending IDoc data to your partners in non-SAP XML formats: XSLT transformation and Java services. It also shows you how to enable your system to receive non-SAP XML documents and outlines the special considerations involved.
