Conversion Agent - EDIFACT Libraries Question

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can assist. I am using conversion agent 8.5 and using EDIFACT library withvalidations. As per the standard documentation this library can do certain validations however when i try to run it, it is not doing those validations. Secondly for some of the validations e.g. Sender Number, Receiver Number I would have to specify these details somewhere within conversion agent where it can go and have a look however I can't find that also.
Can someone please assist on this?
regards

Hi Jag,
Thank you for the help however i guess by now you would have realized that this approach is not going to work
regards
Hi Guys,
Any conversion agent expert can please help shed some light on the issue at hand please? The whole purpose of these withvalidations libraries is to do validations however for some reason they are not working e.g. UNT segment should validate the count of segments is corrects I give it wrong number just to test and it still doesn't pick it up (this was one example) but the stand library release note says it does validate. Any suggestions please? or directions?
regards

  • Error in XI while using standard EDI Libraries of Conversion Agent

    Hi,
    We are planning to use conversion agent for EDI to XML conversion using standard libraries.
    Right now working on EDI 867 and is working fine in my local system. But when we moved the contents
    to XI server, we are getting the following error
    *“ConversionAgent/ServiceDB/TS_867_Product_Transfer_and_Resale_Report_Parser/TS_867_Product_Transfer
    andResale_Report_parsers_segments.tgp(547): is_optional is not a known profile or PT”*
    Can anybody help us to solve this issue?

    HI,
    The module name must be localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.nw.cm.xi/CMTransformBean.
    The parameter name must be TransformationName.
    The parameter value must be the conversion agent project name deployed in serviceDB. In the above example, the Tutorial_3 project from the documentation in step 1 is used.
    And also it was failed to update the log.See the folder access onceagain.
    many links provided in that blog itself ,plz check.

  • XI supports EDIFACT without SAP Conversion Agent and others.

    Hello.
    Somebody knows the best way to convert EDIFACT message using XI?
    What I can do this without using softwares of conversion like:
    - SAP Conversion Agent;
    - Seeburger;
    - BIC Mapper and others.
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi,
    See for converting the EDI XML to EDI you need to have a mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

  • Conversion Agent By Informatica and Versions

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some help in relation to conversion agent. Quick back ground doing an implementation using PI 7.1, Seeburger FTP adapter and Conversion Agent (The incoming message is EDIFACT + X12).
    Now I need to validate this EDIFACT message and convert it to XML for which we are planning to use Conversion Agent.
    The confusion I have is that apparently there are libraries of Conversion agent which can do strict validations on edifact while converting to XML however basis team keeps on giving me the Content Master (eclipse + converison agent plugin bundle) by itemsfield and I don't see these new libraries or strict libraries in there.
    What i am confused with now is where can i get the the latest version of ConversionAgent, will it have libraries (new libraries) as part of it???? is there such a thing?
    regards
    Also whats the difference between ConversionAgent by Itemfield vs Conversion Agent by Informatica really?

    Hi Again,
    Please have a look at this url
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/fc39c16bfb025ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
    then there is a link for "Conversion Agent libraries"
    in that PDF page 18 is talking about two sets of libraries.
    That should clear up what i am trying to say.
    I am highly thankful for quick responses.

  • Seeburger EDI conversion Vs XI Conversion Agent EDI conversion?

    We have implemented Seeburger's EDI solution at a client, and our another client wants to an EDI solution for them.
    I cam across this weblog, and it is very interesting. I have some questions.
    1. Does Converstion Agent support the converstion of all versions of native EDI X12 and EDIFACT to the corresponding XML verions, and vice versa.
    2. What are the differences between Seeburger's and XI Conversion Agent's EDI soultions?
    Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Karma,
    SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. The Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.
    Have a look at these links:
    /people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield
    /people/paul.medaille/blog/2005/11/17/more-on-the-sap-conversion-agent-by-itemfield
    http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/XML_to_X12.html
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0b355ae-0501-0010-3b83-8f2bb566fa47
    Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
    These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.
    For more i would suggest you to go through these links:
    http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/Butler_Group_SEEBURGER_Technology_Audit.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/AS2_General_Overview.pdf
    Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:
    1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI.
    5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

    http://www.sap.com/asia/company/events/nwtechdays/presentation/australia-slides/Pre-Built_Integration.pdf
    There are also a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.
    inbound EDI to R3
    1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.
    outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system
    1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)
    2.use a file adapter3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.
    have a look at this example:
    http://www.ean.se/EANCOM%202000/iftmin/example.htm
    Details on how to configure can be found on SDN

  • Seeburger BIC vs Informatica Conversion Agent

    Hi Experts,
    I am hoping I can seek some feedback on the above mentioned subject. I am going through an implementation currently which involves EDIFACT and X12 - various message types e.g. Orders, Desadv, Invoice, Order Confirmation and a few more.
    As part of the implementation we need to choose a tool to do EDI to XML conversion which can also do EDIFACT/X12 validations (syntax & semantic) plus a functional Acknowledgment.
    The two final options we have chosen are Informatica's Conversion Agent and Seeburger BIC (given we are using Seeburger FTP adapter for communication already).
    Now to make a final decision I was hoping if some people can share their experience (s) and give some pro's and con's for choosing one or the other please?
    Any comments will be highly appreciated.
    regards

    Hi mimranacc,
    I was hoping if someone can comment on Conversion Agent as well or if there is a white paper on the comparison of the two?
    I have extensively worked on Conversion Agent. My experience has been real good with this tool. It is quite handy and easy to use.
    Apart from unstructured messages from MS Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint etc, Conversion Agent can manage semi-structured formats like EDI, HL7, ANSI X12, COBOL and HIPA.
    It consists of set of libraries that are deployed on PI's J2EE server and is accessed by AE during runtime.
    The +ve points are -
    1. Very easy to install and use,
    2. Easily integrated with SAP PI,
    3. No additional adapter required for transformation to / from XML,
    4. No extra adapters installed on PI server, which enhances the performance,
    5. Monitor Conversion Agent messages in Integration Server.
    Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Seeburger BIC, so can't provide you a comparison.
    Hope this helps.

  • Conversion agent mapping

    Does conversion agent or XI provide any out of the box mapping content to map conversion agent's EDI XML schema and IDOC XML? For example is there a mapping content (in CA or XI) between EDI_MSG_850_Purchase_Order and Orders.Orders05?  If so where can I get it?
    But I know it provides conversion of native edi to xml format via adapter modules.
    I read lot of blogs and forums, but couldn't find this information.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Why dont u got for seeburger for the EDI mapping into XML,seeburger have the standasrd mappings which are predefined and u have to define them in ur module tab in adapter.

  • INVOIC96a to EDI-XML by Conversion Agent fails, Special Character Problem

    Hi,
    with your help in another thread, I recognized that the EDIFACT INVIOC96a Parser of the Itemfield Conversion Agent has a Problem with special characters.
    So like described in this blog SAP XI supports EDIFACT i created a Library Project and tried to test the conversion.
    It is only working when no special characters are in the EDI file. If there a special characters insight the file, conversion agent say's no error, but the xml file is corrupted. In fact you can't display it in IE or by opening it with XMLPad it says "Not well formed".
    Hope that someone has an idea for this problem
    Thank you
    regards

    Hi,
    I have already faced the same problem when using Itemfield Conversion Agent.
    I solved the same with change properties of the project.
    In conversion agent project :
    opne the menu :  Project --> Properties --> Encoding --> Change the output Encoding Schema (None).
    use None in that schema in place of XML.
    Your problem can be solved.

  • SAP Conversion Agent

    Hi,
    I have browsed the net for quite some time to get some idea about EDI message handling in XI using the SAP Conversion Agent (CA). I have understood what is CA all about. but i still have few questions unanswered.
    1. How flexible or complex it is to use the the CA as compared to SEEBURGER ?
    2. It is a must to use the EDI message parsing templates provided in the CA library ?
    3. the cost factor. I have read that it is free for development and test landscapes. but for production landscape, we need to pay some license fee. Will this deprive us of any key functionality in the Dev and QUA landscape ?
    I have gone throught the help document. Please help me find answers for the above questions.

  • SAP Conversion Agent: HL7 library project could not be executed

    Hi experts
    I'm using SAP Conversion Agent version 4.3.0 on a PI 7.0. I'm trying to use a HL7 library project. On the Conversion Agent Studio side everythings works fine: the library project is created and a test of the service with a local HL7 file was successful. After that I make the project on the Conversion Agent Studio available and copy the project from the local \SAP\ConversionAgent\ServiceDB directory to the PI Conversion Agent ServiceDB directory.
    So far so good... but when I try to execute the CA project via File Sender Adapter the following error is thrown:
    "Invalid service 'TEST'. Check service name and service database"

  • Conversion Agent in PI 7.1

    Hello Gurus,
    I just wanted to know the usage of Conversion Agent. Especially in cases of Idoc, how does the Conversion Agent help in retaining the Idoc fields.Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Swathi

    Hi Swathi,
    Conversion Agent is a tool that allows you to build XML from PDF's,. TXT and excel files, mappings
    for EDI etc. So, if your file is a .TXT file, then you can develop the mapping using Conversion
    aganet to convert the .txt file and then call the corresponding COnversion Agent Module from your
    file adapter.

      i saw a blog which shows the conversion of EDIFACT to IDOC byy using conversion agent in XI.

    i want to convert a EDI850 a   ANSIX12  document into IDOC......
    Can someone help...........?

    Hi Mithun,
    I think you are aware of the fact that SAPXI system doesnt understand the EDI messages directly.....So in u r case u need to first tranform EDI data into XML format in whcih the XI can understand...........So for EDI -to->XML...u need SEEBURGER (BIC Design mapper tool do define the mapping between EDI and XML) by which u can convert the message into XML.
    And in XI system u can convert the tranformed XML into IDOC using mapping editor.............
    So u cant directly convert the EDI messages into idoc in XI....

    "Find the Conversion Agent setup file. The file has a name such as
    Setup_uuu.bin, where uuu is the name of the Unix flavor. It is located in the
