Tools: ABAP tools, IDOC, ALE, ALE Scenario, BAPI, EDI, MQSeries and MQSI middleware, Ascendent documentation, Data Dictionary.
Other: MVS interface, NT interface, Unix scripting, FTP.

ABAP analyst/programmer for a number of interfacing projects in a major implementation of Supply Chain Management. Designed, built and implemented several projects using IDOC, ALE Scenarios and BAPIs in conjunction with MQSI and MQ-Series middleware and direct interfaces utilizing TCP/IP services. These included:
SD interface from legacy MVS/ES9000 to SAP system utilizing MQ-Series, IDOC and SD BAPI’s to enter sales orders in the SAP order chain for Surplus and Accommodation Sales from parts inventory. Standard order entry ALE scenarios were used
B2B interface to external vendor for employee deduction accounting. The FI data originated from EDI and manual invoices sent from vendors which are paid via employee deduction. An ABAP program creates IDOCs which are queued to the middleware and then via TCP/IP to the vendor which processes the payroll (Win NT 4.0 system).
Inbound interface from MVS, involving the creation of JCL on the MVS legacy system, TCP/IP transmission of data to the SAP host Unix system (HP9000- HP/UX) and the creation of Unix scripts to initiate an ABAP program which creates an inbound IDOC which is subsequently, via ALE, processed by a function module. The system processes labor hours which are allocated to SAP PS (Project Systems) WBS (Work Breakdown Structures) and internal orders for ultimate FI/CO expense and asset accounting.

As the customer is in a Federal overseen business, all work was performed to exacting standards of quality and documentation. Duties on this project included knowledge transfer.
