Configuring Packet size for IDOCS on outbound Side

Folks,
Can we configure the packet size for idocs on the onutbound side of the Adapter ?
Manish

Hi Manish,
It is posible if all 1000 idocs are of same Idoc type.
Jus go and change the occurene of Idoc in the XSD as 1..Unbounded. SO that your the message can hold multiple Idocs.
But let me clarify here, if you send 1000 idocs from R3 , it will come to XI as one-by-one. There is no mechanism to get 1000 idocs at a time. So you need to collec all the idocs and then send it.
Just have quick look into this

How do I change packet size for a single load

All,
I need to change the packet size for a single load I'm doing. How do I set that?
Thanks.
Dave

Hi..........
For this u hav to go to the infopackage scheduler........
If u r in Process chain >> Right click on the infopackage >> Maintain variant..........then it will come to the IP scheduler..................In the Top Scheduler Tab >> Click on it and select DataS. Default data transfer .......Now there may be a delta IP and Full upload IP for the same datasource.......check ur IP .....it is full or delta..........if full change the packet size for full upload..............otherwise for delta upload........
If the IP is not a part of any Process chain..........then go to RSA1 >> Find the IP..........and double click on it........then the IP scheduler screen will open..........
You can make global settings for all datasources...... in the transaction SBIW in the area General Settings >> Maintain control Parameter for Data transfer......... The parameters that you maintain here are valid as global standard values, and thus apply to all DataSources.
Hope this helps.....

Configure lot size for MRP

Hi Experts,
I would like to configure lot size for 3 monthly, can any one explain me the configuration procedures?
Thanks alot
Rgds,

Hi Vivek,
I copied the Z3 form MB, and changed the no of periods into 3. and there're no difference between material assigned with Z3 or MB.
We haven't activated MRP4 view, do I have to activate that view first to make this happen?
for your additional info, I use MRP type (configured) based on ROP.
Pls help.
Thanks

Where do we control packet sizes in IDoc's processing.

Hi
Can you please let me know
1) how we can control the Packet Size while processing Idoc's?
2) How to find out how many Idoc's got / can be processed in one packet?
3) Where can these Packet size settings be made?
Satish.

Hi,
You can get control on indoc inbound processing only if the processing is "triggered by background program" in the partner profile.
>1) how we can control the Packet Size while processing Idoc's?
It is controlled in the variant of the RBDAPP01 program
>2) How to find out how many Idoc's got / can be processed in one packet?
This is tuning : you have to experiment to find out the best setup for your specific need.
It is not an easy task because it is not usually very easy to import a lot of idocs in a testbed system.
You have to find a compromise between speed (throughput) and resource consumption.
>3) Where can these Packet size settings be made?
Again in RBDAPP01 variant.

Olivier

IDoc on outbound side from XI - time limit exceeded error

Hi,
I have a FIle to IDoc scenario and I'm creating there a lot of idocs (20000) in a single push. I'm getting an error "time limit exceeded" on outbound side with red flag in SXMB_MONI. How to increase this limit parameter? Where to do it? - PI? or R/3?
Thank you,

Incoming message size exceeds the configured maximum size for protocol t3

Hi All,
I've encountered an error as follow:
weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException: Incoming message of size 50004000 bytes exceeds the configured maximum of 50000000 bytes of protocol t3.
But the request message is only 3MB, why it is enlarged to over 50M?
There is a For Each loop section in main flow, is it because for one loop, there will be a copy of request message?
How to enlarge message size for protocol t3?
Go to server/protocol and change 'Maximum Message Size' for AdminServer, OSB Servers and SOA servers?
Thanks and Regards,
Bruce

Hi,
1) After setting -Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize to 25000000
<BEA-000403> <IOException occurred on socket: Socket[addr=ac-sync-webserver1/172.24.128.8,port=9040,localport=36285]
weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException: Incoming message of size: '25002240' bytes exceeds the configured maximum of: '25000000' bytes for protocol: 't3'
at weblogic.socket.BaseAbstractMuxableSocket.incrementBufferOffset(BaseAbstractMuxableSocket.java:174)
2) After setting -Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize to 50000000
<BEA-000403> <IOException occurred on socket: Socket[addr=ac-sync-webserver2/172.24.128.9,port=9040,localport=59925]
weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException: Incoming message of size: '50000400' bytes exceeds the configured maximum of: '50000000' bytes for protocol:
't3'.
And even after setting various values for -Dweblogic.MaxMessageSize , issue weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException was observed.
To overcome the issue set Manual Service Migration Only as after several experiments and replicating the issue it was found out that in case of no available pinned services, must set the migration policies of the migratable targets on "Manual Service Migration Only".
And once it is corrected; it was noticed that weblogic.socket.MaxMessageSizeExceededException issue also resolved.
WebLogic Server can fail over most services transparently, but it's unable to do the same when dealing with pinned services.
Pinned Services : JMS and JTA are considered as pinned services. They're hosted on individual members of a cluster and not on all server instances.
You can have high availability only if the cluster can ensure that these pinned services are always running somewhere in the cluster.
When a WebLogic Server instance hosting these critical pinned services fails, WebLogic Server can't support their continuous availability and uses migration instead of failover to ensure that they are always available.

Mtu & packet size for ssh & https through vpn

Hi
I've been noticing problems with dropped packets in secure protocols through our site-to-site vpns since migrating the central site over from a pix to an isr. It looks as though packets for protocols such as ssh / https could not be fragmented before transmission down the tunnel and were already too big to accomodate the tunnel overheads within the router interface mtu of 1500.
Could this be the case?
Dropping the mtu to 1400 for the machine initiating the ssh connection at the remote site seems to have solved the problem, but I am wondering why this has only started with the ISR?
I am also seeing very slow throughput in one vpn link from the ISR to an 831 router at a remote site where both routers have an mtu of 1500. Again this is just since the pix was swapped with the ISR. I've dropped encryption down to basic des / md5 and I've cleared a lot of old unused lines out of the acls which has doubled the throughput to ~ 500Kbps, but this is still not the performance we were seeing previously. The processor on the 831 is also getting hammered and is generally ~ 72% when the throughput is 500Kbps (onboard hardware encryption enabled). There also may be a bug in the IOS version on the 831 as the ip mtu nnnn & ip tcp adjust-mss nnnn can be entered but don't stick for eth0.
Sorry about the length of this post and the number of questions, but would appreciate any comments.
Cammy

Cammy,
It looks like you've answered most of your own questions and a review of your code versions and the capability of the devices onsite may need to be reviewed in terms of requirements and throughput. You identify that the key difference is the ISR and the fix was to set the mtu on the host machine. In an effort to understand what your seeing sent and what's received then I'd recommend that you look to implementing a wire trace if viable at each end. Smells of tcp auto-tuning but that would be shooting from the hip.

Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

What is the internal processing for idocs

Dear friends this is subbu working as a abap consultant.
can any body explain the how idocs are transfered (inbound process and outbound process)

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

RBDMANIN - Start error handling for non-posted IDocs
RBDSTATE - Send Audit Confirmations
FOr testing you can use WE19.
There are two filtering in IDoc.
Segment Filtering:
Segment filtering can be achieved using T/Code BD56. Here you can suppress a whole segment irrespective of data inside it . You have to give Message Type / Sender Prrtner / Receiver Partner.
Data Filtering:
Data filtering can be done in dustribution model (BD64) where you can restrict whole IDOCS or partials IDOCS to be send based on data in fields inside IDOC depending on whether the segment in which you filter is at the highest level or at a lower level. For example in MATMAS if you put a filter of E1MARCM for a particular plant , only data for this plant will go and other plants will be ignored.

Default maximum packet size in 3.7.0.1

Hello,
It looks like there is another reason for performing a full cluster restart to apply the first patch for 3.7 (3.7.0.1). On a machine with MTU=1500, it appears that the default maximum packet size value was changed from 1452 to 65535 and this change prevents the cluster from forming during a rolling upgrade.
16 May 2011 14:08:01,376 ERROR Logger@813856187 3.7.0.1: 2011-05-16 14:08:01.376/1.539 Oracle Coherence GE 3.7.0.1 <Error> (thread=Cluster, member=n/a): This member could not join the cluster because of a configuration mismatch between this member and the configuration being used by the rest of the cluster.

Can you please confirm?
Cheers,

Hi Alexey,
Yes, the default maximum packet size for 3.7 was supposed to have been 65535, there was however a bug which prevented this from working. 3.7.0.1 fixes this issue, and thus "introduces" the new higher default value. A rolling restart is still possible, you would however need to manually configure the maximum to be 1468. The new maximum of 65535 allows the Coherence default configuration to support large clusters (greater then ~450 JVMs), where as the old default configuration would prevent new members from joining and would require a re-configuration and full restart.
thanks,
Mark

ALE Settings for IDOC

Hi,
For configuration of IDOC adapter
1) we need to create RFC Desination both XI System and R3 System.For port creation if v given same port name in both XI system and R3 system it will work or not ?
2) On Receiver SAP system, we need to configure the logical system normally for XI system, were v can find logical system of XI System.
3) Can RFC Destination b same on both systems( R3 system, XI System)
Regards,
Praveen

Hi
The following configurations are needed for Idoc scenarios
1) ECC Configuration : a) Create RFC connections from ECC to XI in SM59. rfc connection name should be target XI logical system name . BD54 or SALE are the tcodes for checking the logical system for respective client.
                                   b) Create port in we21 & provide the above RFC destination.
                                   c) Now Create Partner Profile in we20 ...partner profile name should be target logical system name.
                                        assign the outbound parameters with receiver port created in we21.
2) XI Configuration : a) Create a RFC connection for XI to ECC ...rfc name should be target logical system name(ecc).
                                  b) Create port in IDX1...it should be SAPXXX..where XXX is the ecc system id.
                                  c) Import the idoc metadata in IDX2.
For Outbound idocs generate the model view in BD64.

Table for Idoc messages

Hi,
Where I will get the bd87 idoc messages
what the name of the table contain these messages.
Thanks!!

Hi Ramesh,
if you are tracing the idocs through BD87 (idocs in outbound side) , then u can find the corrresponding inbound idocs in the reciever system,use transaction we02 give the outbound idoc numbers and execute , the u can see the idoc numbers along with thier inbound status (for eg 51, 53 0r 64).
Also in bd87 itself u can trace the idocs by mentioning the time and date on which u created idocs.
The status through which ab idoc has passed are stored in EDIDS.

Need docs. for IDoc & RFC

Hi All,
Please help me with documents of IDoc & RFC.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

RFC and BAPI:
RFC is Remote Function Call - a function module, which can be called remotely from outside
BAPI is also a Remote enabled function module but the difference between BAPI and RFC is in BAPI there is a bussiness object attached to it which calls SAP application internally.
can you explain RFC and BAPI???
The difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to R/3 from an R/3 system. Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as RFC functions in the SAP development workbench. They are then called RFC function modules. BAPIs are complete sets of (BAPI) function modules that model a business application.
RFC is the protocol used by SAP for remote communication, that is, for communications between remote independent systems.RFC is used for communications between two independent SAP systems, or for communications between an SAP system and a non-SAP system, such as an external application. It can also be used for communications between modules on the same system.Using the RFC interfaces you can extend the functionality of R/3 applications from an external program.
An R/3 system also contains Business Application Programming Interfaces (also called Business APIs, or BAPIs), which provide a programming interface to business objects. BAPIs are a set of methods for working with and manipulating SAP business objects.Internally, BAPIs are implemented as function modules stored in the R/3 Function Builder. Each BAPI has an equivalent internally-named function module. However, you should use the BAPI and not the function module behind it, because the BAPI provides a stable, object-oriented view of R/3 applications and data. The internal function modules or even the fact that the BAPIs are implemented as function modules are not guaranteed to remain the same in future releases of R/3.
BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface.
It is a library of functions that are released to the public
as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
system.
RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system
by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to
R/3 from an R/3 system.
Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as
RFC functions in the SAP development workbench. They are
then called RFC function modules. BAPIs are complete sets of
(BAPI) function modules that model a business application.
When you are familiar with web developments: RFC can be
compared to HTTP and BAPIs are CGI applications.
In other words: A BAPI function is a function module that
can be called remotely using the RFC technology.
RFC and BAPIs are remote enabled function modules. They are practicly the same. A BAPI is one step further as it usually is a self contained business function, such as "Create Purchase Order", or "Change Sales Document". BAPIs interface is very well defined and documented. BAPIs can be found in the BAPI browser via transaction BAPI. RFCs are just remote enabled function modules.

BAPIs are RFCs, the only difference is that BAPIs usually encapulate some complete business object. For example, creating a sales order, the BAPI would do all of the steps required to create a sales order.

How to allocate disk size for each user in iMac?

Hi folks,
I have iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.7.5) for Family, and each of my family member has account on it.
Now, kids download many large files (several GB size files) and HD is getting full.
So, I'd like to set maximum disk size for each user.
Could you prvide instruction how to configure disk size for each user?
Regards,
Hiro

I don't know of any way to do that by user.
I used to partition my HD and that sets a hard limit by partition, but by user? I don't think it can be done.

REG: Error in IDoc adapter outbound processing

Hi All,
      I had a couple of doubts regarding these IDoc's.
1)        I am dealing with the web services to IDoc Scenario. When i am activated my wed services it               is giving an error like
"IDOC_ADAPTER.ATTRIBUTE_BE_NOT_SUPP" and "Only asynchronous processing supported for IDoc adapter outbound processing"
Can any one help me to Solve my Problem
2) How to find out whether the IDoc is of synchronous or Asynchronous mode
    and how to handle the synchronous type of IDoc's
Thanks in advance.
with Regards,
Kalyan Dannapaneni.

Hi Kalyan,
IDOCs are only Aynchronous (EO or EOIO).
If you want to call Synchronious, you will have to find remote enabled function modules (RFCs, BAPIs).
Or you have to use the ccBPM Synch-Async pattern to have an synchronos call passed to an IDoc, waiting for the Acknowledgement. In your situation I would check if a similar BAPI/RFC exists on your Backend SAP system.
Best regards,
Silvia
