PI 7.1 scenario -- File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenario

Hi All,
*I have PI 7.0 . I have in that File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenarios*
File to File -- This scenario is working fine.
File to IDOC -- Setting done in PI 7.0 like SM59, IDXI, IDX2 and in R/3 like SALE (logical system)--- This scenario is working fine.
IDoc to File -- Seeting done in R/3 like SALE (Logical system, Distrubtion Model (Port, Partner Profile)) -- This scenario is working fine.
Now I need to move to PI 7.1 -- for File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenarios.
Please let me know do I require to make any changes in Design and Configuration and settings in PI 7.1 and R/3 for above scenarios or it will work fine as it is already working for PI 7.0
If changes are required please let me know what changes to do for each scaenario and pls also send blogs for that.

If there is no metadata maintained for an idoc type, the metadata for that idoc type gets loaded when an idoc of that type is received by PI for the first time. If you are looking at loading metadata of all idoc types before the first run, its really not required. Just make sure that the port is configured properly. Although, there is no harm in preloading the metadata using IDX2.
You need to use IDX2 mandatorily when the the metadata changes and the metadata in ECC and PI is different. In that case, you need to delete metadata for the changed IDoc type and then either you can update the metada through IDX2 or let the system take care of.

Why we dont need sender agreement and comm channel in IDOC to file scenario

Hi,
there are 2 queries:
first query :
Scenario is "Idoc to file transfer"
why we dont need sender agreement and communication channel for IDOC to file ,while we do need
both of these for "File to RFC "
Answer : which i got is because IDOC sits at ABAP stack but same is valid for RFC also.
Then why For "IDOC to file" we dont need that.
Second query:
Also when i did scenario for File1-RFC-File2 scenario using BPM i have created a interface
between XI-RFC synchronous to send data which we got from file1 in XI to RFC importing parameter
and getting data from RFC back to File2.
Here in IDOC to file scenario why we dont need any interfface for IDOC-XI Asynchronous.

Mayank

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.

IDOC to File Scenario - Configuration steps need to be done in R3 and XI

Hi Experts,
I am working with IDoc to File scenario. Can someone please explain, what are the steps or configuration things need to be done in R3 and as well as in XI too.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sree

Hi Sree,
I thought i will just share a few basic thoughts that you need to take care while doing an IDOC to File Scenario. Just see if it helps you in anyways.
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You dont need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you dont have a sender agreement as you dont have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.
IDOC -> File scenario ref:
<a href="/people/prateek.shah/blog/2005/06/08/introduction-to-idoc-xi-file-scenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starters scenario</a>
File -> IDOC ref:
<a href="/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping to IDOC</a>
To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:

Idoc- File scenario: Read a data field in IDOC and name the file with it

Hi All,
I am configuring an IDOC to File scenario.
I have a requirement where I need to read one of the IDOC data field and use that as the name of the File.
E.g: If the IDOC data field-1 = '123456', then I need to name the output file as '123456'.
Is it possible to do this. Appreciate your help on same.
Thanks
Shirin

Try this code..
desired field from IDoc will be input parameter to UDF
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a); // a is input parameter
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Also, check Adapter specific message attributes in file adapter, check filename

Doubt on server proxy and file to idoc scenario

Hi,
     I could able to solve most of my doubts from this forum, many regards to all who assisted me.Here are some simple doubts plz help me in solving them.
          1.In FILE to PROXY scenario is it necessary to create rfc destination on IS and receiver system? becoz in some blogs it is written to create RFC dest only in case of CLIENT PROXY,since we XI adapter to connect receiver syst in case of server proxy?
          2.In FILE to IDOC scen at receiver side is it necessary to formalities in SM59,WE21,WE20 or just configure in WE20 to maintain partner profile?
          3. In case of single SLD for DEV,CON,PROD while transferring from DEV TO CON using file system how do we move file in EXPORT DIRECTORY TO IMPORT DIRECTORY of cons system?
          4.for transporting IR objects we can use TRANSPORT LIST or CHANGE LIST which will be more preferable?
          Plz kindly answer to any of questions u know ?
          Points will be rewarded for valuable answers.
                                                                                Regards,

You need to maintain the setting on your R3 system to connect to XI for the Transaction SPROXY as shown in the blog "How to Activate ABAP Proxies".
Apart from that as you are doing a file to proxy via XI, XI would need to send data to the R3 system . For this, you can either key in the Details of the R3 system in the XI adapter directly or you can maintain a HTTP destination on your XI in SM59 and use this in the XI adaper.
> 2.In FILE to IDOC scen at receiver side is

Just the partner porfile. SM 59 and We 21 are used for port and RFC destination and as it is XI that is posting the Idoc these steps are not needed on R3
> 3. In case of single SLD for DEV,CON,PROD
> while transferring from DEV TO CON using file system

You have to go to the Folder Level / OS level of your XI server, copy the files from the Export DIrectory and move these manually to the import folder of the CONS server. This is for both IR and ID objects.
> 4.for transporting IR objects we can use
> TRANSPORT LIST or CHANGE LIST which will be more

If you perfrom File Transport, the imported objects will be available under the Import Change List and you need to activate this Import Change List.

Pass through scenario in SAP PI with no mapping for File to IDoc and Idoc to file scenarios

Hi Experts,
Can i have step by step process in SAP PI for pass through scenario with no mapping in case of file to Idoc and Idoc to file both cases please.
What objects i can skip.
My PI system is 7.3 dual stack.
I have seen below blogs, still its confusing to me.
When and how to create an scenario in SAP PI without mapping objects.
Pass Through Scenario with no Mapping in PI 7.1
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Mohan.

Hi Mohan
In pass thru interface you don't need to create any ESR objects, only ID objects are required.
Just Create a Receiver Determination and Receiver Agreement for your scenario (no need for Interface Det. and Sender Agreement).
Specify the IDOC in the Sender Interface and namespace as urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages
Or instead of creating objects manually, Run the wizard with Idoc name/namespace in sender/receiver interface

Hi Rachit,
>>Can anybody send me blogs to convert IDoc structure to EDI or EDI to IDoc structure using Conversion Agent or using JAVA Mappings.
Using conversion Agent there is no coding, If you have a conversion agent insatlled in your landscape you will have better understanding..
Also java code for IDoc to EDI have some problems:
1. The EDI format differs based on requirement so there will always be a customized code for it.. Like we have IDco to EDIFACT and ANSX12...
2. Because most of these codes are propriety materials I doubt whether anyone be sharing the complete code here in SDN. Better to have a java consultant at your end and put him with your requirement.. From the reply in above threads you should be clear that what you are looking for can be done from java coding..
All the best

File to IDOC scenario: Create customer master and then return customer no

Hi all.
I have a scenario to pass xml file to sap XI to generate IDOC to create customer master in SAP. My problem is that I need to return customer no. created in SAP from IDOC. Is there any solution to do this? Someone told me that BPM could be used for doing this but I don't know the steps.I have no problem in create customer master in SAP. My only problem is how to return customer no. Any help would be appreciate. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Pavin

>>u can use synch-Asynch bridge using BPM
This can not be done via sync-async bridge.There are 2 reasons for this
1.He has file adapter as sender and that doesn't support synchronous scenarios.
2.He has standard IDOC as receiver.there is no way you can fetch customer# from IDOC without writing a custom program,Thats why i said he need to either use RFC/Proxy or do some custom development.
Thanx

Dear All,
I am working on IDOC-XI-Flat FIle scenario in which I am using ABAP Mapping as per document "How To Convert an IDoc-XML

I created one customized Idoc for this. The Idoc is reacing XI but its flat file is not getting created. Its giving me following error:
<SAP:Stack>Error in mapping program Z_ABAP_MAPPING_PACKING_LIST (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION) An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Dereferencing of the NULL reference.</SAP:Stack>

XI 3 File to IDoc scenario - Still referencing Old Logical system

Hi
Dont know if you can help. I have a file to idoc scenario using XI 3 to R/3 4.6c system.
I had the interface working from a third party system XMLHUB to SAP R/3. The Logical system name for the XMLHUB was XMLHUB01 in the SLD which I have set up as a partner profile in R/3. I have recently changed the logical system name to XMLHUBDEV01 in the SLD and created that logical system in R/3 and changed the partner profile to XMLHUBDEV01.
Unfortunately in the sender information of the IDoc the partner number is still XMLHUB01 and not XMLHUBDEV01. I don't understand where this partner is sent from to get into the control record of the IDoc.
I have cleared the SLD cache in both the Repository and the directory. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Any help would be appreciated.

Daniel
