Customer Reviews

Great book...

There were two copies of this book floating around on my last project, they were always in use... very practical and very useful. If you need information and examples on ALE and IDOCs this is the best place to get it.

Systematic approach to learning ALE.....Great buy!

For long I have yearned to learn advanced technologies of SAP such as ALE and Business Framework. Now there is a book that teaches ALE and IDOC technologies in a systematic, easy-to-read-and-understand approach. I like this book! It is not only comprehensive, but has a practical approach to implementing these interfaces.I have read the book cover-to-cover, practiced the examples, and am amazed at what a good author can do with his knowledge. Kudos!

The only book that satisfies your quest for ALE knowledge

I have been an SAP technical consultant for over four years, and I have always sought information on ALE and EDI that is comprehensive and explained lucidly. This book is IT. These are the points I liked about the book that compelled me to write this review for the benefit of readers:1. Clear explanation of fundamental ALE/EDI building blocks.2. Step-by-step, recipe type approach to building simple and complex ALE interfaces with elaboration of underlying concepts. 3. Real life examples and ALE/EDI scenarios.4. Explanation of associated Functional configuration and concepts.5. An example of building an brand new ALE scenario from scratch that gives the reader a valuable insight into the inner mechanisms of ALE, such as master data distribution.6. As Alvin Toffler, the author of books such as Future Shock and Third Wave said "Complexity has to be dealt in its own complex ways. You can not oversimplify". The author of this book has strived to explain complex issues such as ALE Optimization in an excellent way, explaining the reasoning for settings and tips and tricks to better ALE interfaces.7. A great Appendix and CDROM that has saved me hours of searching for research and reference, and valuable source code in a softcopy.This is a fantastic book to learn a lot about these technologies. A must have for all SAP Professionals.Dave Torrento SAP Interface Specialist

This book by Rajeev is by far the best book I have seen on ALE & EDI Technologies. It contains the best practical approach to learning these hot skills of SAP in a step-by-step fashion blended with the right amount of theory and valuable tips and tricks for optimally performing interfaces. I have applied many of the techniques and configuration mentioned in the book and the CDROM to great benefit. The CDROM also has source code for real world examples and case studies mentioned in the book. I recommend this highly to all SAP consultants, beginners and advanced users, as a tutorial and reference.
