Business Connector or XI?

Hi,
for a small german payroll (HR) system it's necessary to have the B2A process for LSTA/LSTB (ELSTER) and ELENA active. Yet we realized that with R/3 4.6C and Business Connector 4.8.
Now my question: Do we have to install and configure the XI component after upgrading from R/3 4.6C to ECC (ERP) 6.0 or is it possible to work on for a bit longer with the Business Connector 4.8.
Thanks in andvance
Martin

Hi Martin,
we have also migrated our German HR environment from 4.6C into the central ERP 6.0 system and since then we run the B2A process in the ERP 6.0 system with Business Connector 4.8 - there was no need to implement XI.
According to PAM the end of mainstream maintenence for BC4.8 is end of 2017.

Günter

SAP Business Connector on Windows XP

I've been trying to get the SAP Business Connector 4.7 to work on Windows XP professional but haven't been very successful. The business connector seems to install okay, but when I try to start the business connector through the server.bat file it generates the following errors:

These errors don't stop the business connector from starting up, but the errors are not normal behaviour. When I try to start the business connector through a Windows service then I get the message "Could not start the SAP Business Connector Service on Local Computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found".
I have a working business connector installation on a Windows 2000 server, and when I checked the error log of that installation I noticed that it had logged the same errors about the 'WmPartners' package. It on the other hand didn't have any problems loading the 'SAP' package.
I tried installing the business connector on two different systems with identical results. Has anybody been able to get the business connector to work on Windows XP?

Problem establishing Business Connector 4.8 and R/3 connection

Hello,
I'm currently running a few SAP Business Connectors 4.7 servers for my company, all connected to SAP R/3 4.7 backend, and everything works fine.
I tried to setup the new BC 4.8, on a fresh Windows 2003 server, the install went fine, but when I try to make a new R/3 connection, with a working and existing RFC user (previously used by the former BC 4.7), I have the following error message :
Error : class com.sap.conn.jco.JCoRuntimeException
Message : Name or password is incorrect. Please re-enter on 192.168.0.4 sysnr 00
Service : sap.admin.server:getInfo
I don't understand because if I unplug the 4.8 server and plug back the 4.7 one with exactly SAME user/password and same R/3 connection properties, it works fine...
I precise I re-typed manually the login/passwords in both BCs to ensure it's not due to a typo error.
I have read that JCO has changed between 4.7 and 4.8 releases. Could it have an impact ? Also do I still need to install a librfc32.dll in my windows/system32 directory ?
Any clues ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Edited by: Patrick TOURNEUR on Jul 21, 2008 6:40 PM

Hello,
just for your info, the JCo implementation has changed about this login function. BC 4.8 is using JCo 3, 4.7 used JCo 2.
I never understood the whole problem completely, but as you found out by yourself, you are safe if you enter the user/pwd in SAP only uppercase, and also in BC
SAP changed this user/login up/lowcase stuff at some time, which has caused many trouble in projects.

could anyone throw light on how this kind of error can be resolved and why it occured?
Thanks.

What does the RFC trace file and log say? Has there been any dump on the SAP server? Check the logs and transaction st22 in your SAP system to see if the RFC-module has dumped.
My guess is the problem is in the RFC-module, I think you should start looking there.

Flat File Transfer from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP Business Connector 4.8

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of transferring a flat file from my R/3 SAP 4.7 Box Application Server to the Business Connector 4.8 Box. I am new to SAP Business Connector and I am not to sure whether FTP works if I use a shell script in SAP R/3. Also, is there any way Business Connector Box can pull the file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server.
Any help will be appreciated!!!
Regards,
Subhhrangsu

Hi,
There are many ways thru which you can pass document to SAP BC:
You can HTTP, FTP, Email document to SAP BC.
SAP BC has predefined services for all of them.
For FTP document to SAP BC:
1 Initiate an FTP session on SAP BC Serveru2019s FTP listening port ( this can be found out from SAP BC administrator or from SAP BC homepage).
2 Point to the directory that contains the service to which you want to pass the XML
document.
Example cd \ns\Purchasing\SubmitOrder
3 Copy the XML document to this directory using the following command:
put XMLDoc.xml
Where XMLDoc.xml is the name of the file that you want to pass to SAP BC Server.
Example put PurchaseOrder.xml
Above code can be written in a batch file and you can schedule it to run at interval of minutes.
You can write java client program as well to upload file and map it to String variable of Flow service of SAP BC.
As Micheal said, you can look at sapbc/Developer/doc folder to look for more options.
Best Regards,
Divyesh

Pipeline concept in Business connector

Hi All,
I am working in Business connector 4.7, but I am finding tough to understand the SAP BC pipeline concept of defining java like services in BC.
Basically I do not have experience of Java programming and I work on pure SAP ABAP programming.
Please can any one help if they have some documents on it.
Appreciate your great help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A set of services to be performed in a fixed sequence on a message.
A pipeline consists of pipeline elements that are linked to pipeline services
You have to write a java service which takes that particular pipeline
variable and writes to the file. Then in your pub.client.SMTP service you
have to specify that particular file path for attachment.

RFC function callls a SAP Business Connector Flow - only upper case

Hi everybody,
I wrote a function in SE37 which is calling a Flow in SAP Business Connector.
R/3 and SAP BC, both are Non Unicode systems.
The export parameter is TYPE makt-maktx.
The call to SAP BC works fine. Only all the text I can see in the pipeline of SAP BC is upper case.
I checked wether the domain of the makt-maktx allows case sensitive texts.
This is OK.
I have no idea how I can tell SAP BC to receive case sensitive texts.
I checked the forums. Seems nobody had such a problem.
Can somebyody help?
Best regards
Jochen
Hi to all,
it was not the JAVA Version, or a bug or whatelse.
I just ingnored while testing in SE37 that there is
a Flag [X] case sensitive - That's all!
Shame on me!

Forwarding XML/EDI from SAP Business connector to EDI (cloverleaf)

Hello,
We are having issues setting SAP up to work with the business connector and our EDI system - cloverleaf.
For testing, we would like to:
1. Create an idoc in SAP and send it to the Busness Connector.
2. Have the busness connector send the doc via XML to our EDI system cloverleaf.
Currently, I have things setup like so:
SAP/ECC6:
SM59: RFC setup as type T and works fine.
WE20: Partner Type LS:
I have 2 message types setup (in outboard: I have "orders" and in Inbound I have the same).
in WE21: I have a cloverleaf (our EDI system) to run with the RFC destination I setup in SM59.
On the Business connector, I have the following under routing rules:
From SAP to the Business connector:
Sender: 8805
Reciver: 10000000008
Message Type: Orders
ACL Group: none
Package: default
Main Flow Services: wm.PartnerMgr.flows.88605.1000000008:ORDERS
Transport: ALE (R3/IDOC)
SAP destination: RD1 (our sid).
FOR my outgoing to our EDI system cloverleaf:
I am using the sender: * - Not sure if this should be SAP or the BC.
Reciver: * - Our EDI system. our EDI system is listening on port 49001.
Message Type: Orders
Under URL (not sure about this one)
I have http://reg2lxap0725:5555/MessagingSystem/receive/BcAdapter/BC
I am however stummped on how the URL shold look..
Now, when we test the above config... I recive the following results in WE02.
0000000000003024 25 03 Green Light: IDoc Successful Green LS/ /SAPBC ORDERS05 ORDERS Outbox CLOVERLEAF
For some reason, we also have an "inbound" that fails.
0000000000003025 25 56 Red Light: IDoc Has Errors KU/ /0000088605 ORDERS05 ORDERS Inbox SAPRD1
My main question is however around routing...
We are trying to send these to our EDI system which is listening on 49001.
I am not sure how they want us to setup the routing rules to pass this over to the right port..
I have also searched the documentation, and have not found any real step by step guides, so I may be missing a few things..
Any advice to point me to the right direction is greatly appriciated....
Thanks everyone,
Richard

Hello Prateek,
Thank you very much for your answer. The AdapterGuide was really helpfull.
Now the routing rule is associated to the correct Service (that was a the problem). So the rule started to process the XML files from the folder (the XML files disappeared immediately after I corrected the rule).
But now my problem is that on the SAP side there is no inbound IDOCs so it seems the trasmission may failed.
Moreover under "Routing"-->"Transactions" I don't see these entries with the the current date.
Our routing rule is simple: "wildcard" "wildcard" "wildcard" "ALE (R/3 IDOC)"--><OUR SAP SYSTEM>
The SAP connection is working as I can test under "SAP..." menu.
Is there any other way to monitor what had happened with these XML files? I'm sure the BC processed as the files are gone, but there is no IDOC in the destination SAP...
Thanks a lot!

Error message when calling a Business Connector RFC destination from SRM

Hello all,
We are facing one problem with data Purchase Order transmission between SRM 5.0 (SRM_SERVER 5.5, extended classic scenario) and Business Connector 4.7.
We made needed customizing in order to have "XML / XI" output medium available in tab 'Company Data' in "Manage Business Partners" web transaction (by updating BBP_USE_AI table in SM30 transaction).
Then, we implemented BAdI definition BBP_EBPXML_OUT_BADI with method PURCHASEORDER in order to change XI system type to Business Connector.
In this way, PO transfer data between SRM and BC is done using BC Module Function BAPI_POEC_XML_SEND (TCP/IP RFC connection was defined for Purchase Order in BBPC_RFCDEST table).
Nevertheless, even if method BBP_PO_SEND_XML is correctly triggered when PO is created with a vendor with XML output medium, we have in the document output log ("Process Purchase Order" web transaction) an error message:
' Error (Unknown Partner and Message Type. Routing Rule created. Sender: SMR Receiver:) when calling RFC destination BC '
where SRM is the SRM log. sys. and BC the Business Connector log. sys.
Our EAI team is working on it, but if you have any idea, your are welcome !
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Laurent

Hello Christian,
Thank you for your help. However, we abandoned this solution between SRM and Business Connector.
So, we followed instructions indicated in OSS note 883693 - "ECS: PO output determination in R/3".
Nevertheless, in order to restrict this behaviour for specific vendors and purchasing organizations, we added some filters.
It is working fine.
However, when the PO is modified in SRM, then order again, PO is modified in R/3 (by the RFC user from SRM) more than once.
As a consequence, we have as much messages as modifications of the order in R/3 (due to multiple RFC access with the SRM RFC user).
Does anybody have an idea to have only one R/3 output message when the PO is modified in SRM ?
One solution could be to check in the NAST table if the time creation of the last output message is lower than, for example, one minute.
If it is the case, we do not allow R/3 ouput message.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Regards.
Laurent.

Plugging XSLT / XML processors into Business Connector 4.7

Hi,
I need to use Xalan 2.6.0 and the associated XML parsers
in the Business Connector.
Does anyone know whether any built-in services or
SAP Adapter services would be negatively impacted by
this change? I have found nothing in the documentation.
(Among the reasons I need to do this are that the
processors in package com.inqmy.lib.jaxp do not seem to
be JAXP 1.2 compliant. Also, they neither respect the
encoding-attribute of <xsl:output>, nor allow to override
it from the outside. When generating HTML, this has
created problems for some clients).
In order to use Xalan/Xerces, one needs to set the
variable PREPENDCLASSES in server.bat to contain
the Xalan jars, and change the value of the configuration
variable watt.xslt.jaxp.properties in the server.cnf file.
The value of this variable is the name of a file in normal
Java properties syntax, which contains values for the
relevant System properties:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
I'm using BC 4.7 SR2, Core Fix 2, JDK 1.3.1_09 under WinXP
At first glance everything seems to work fine (I can
still use recordToDocument), but I'd like to be sure.
And what about BC 4.6?

Making a call to a Business Connector Flow Service from within an ABAP prog

Hello,
I am trying to make a change to one of the flow services within BUsiness COnnector.
The way the system is currently set up is that the flow service is called from within an ABAP program via an RFC call.
A remote FM exists in SAP and this is called by the program and there is a corresponding flo service within Business Connector.
I have basically copied an existing flow service which works fine and made a few minor tweaks. Within SAP, I have copied the remote FM and again made a few minor tweaks.
However, when I run the program, it short dumps at the point whee my remote FM is called with th following message :-
"Unknown Partner and Message Type. Sender: xxxx Receiver: xxxx MsgType: "
I am not a Business Connector expert and I guess I am missing a ste but I'm not sure what it is.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Ruby

SAP BC is used to invoke BAPI's in the SAP R/3 system.
Issue :
Some BAPI's are taking some time to return response depending on user load. Need to provide a timeout for RFC calls invoked by SAP BC using JCO.
Following is the entry in the rfc trace log file when BC starts up ...

Questions :
   1) Is there a SAP BC configuration parameter for RFC execution timeout ??
   2) Any other way of enforcing the RFC time out ??
   3) If there is a way to set timeout on JCO.Client.execute method ??
I really appreciate your help !!

I have tried changes the connection timeout value but if doesnot affect the time RFC. Following is from SAP BC adapter guide ..
Delay (minutes) until an unused connection to a SAP
System is timed out (default: 5)
I think I need similar setting as that for RFC connection !!

HTTP POST / SAP Business Connector 4.6

I'have written my message in forum XI which is better location for this subject.

Hi Ganimede,
I'm not sure if 4.6 is (should be) but 4.8 is definitely UC compatible.
Please follow these links:

E-Filing on Business Connector version 4.8

Hello
We are currently running Business Connector (BC) 4.7 (which is out of support) & need to move to BC 4.8. I have installed this on a new server & now need to get E-filing running. Our database is at R/3 4.7
The only document I can find re: E-Filing makes no mention of BC 4.8 (only BC 4.7) - this is [https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000588865|https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000588865] and is called User Guide e-Filing Incoming Outgoing 3.0 (4.6C & above).pdf and is dated July 2005. My questions are:
1. Can anyone confirm that E-filing is supported under BC 4.8. There must be a support matirx somewhere on the SAP site which explains this but I can't find it.
2. Is there a more up to date document anywhere which explains how to install E-filing on BC 4.8. Or maybe the instructions in the document I have would apply to BC 4.8 as well?
Thanks, Chris

I am not sure what you mean by "e-filing GB", but BC 4.8 supports the same functionality as BC 4.7, and adds some new functions. So should be no problem.
