Partner profiles and ports

How to transport the configuration of partner profiles and ports from Development to Quality systems.

Hi vidya,
Go through this hope u can get the solution.
WE20 Partner Profile
Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
mentioned.
WE21 Port Definition.
There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
types of ports are important.
We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
SM59 RFC Destination
Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
BD64 Distribution Model . Also known as Customer Distribution Model Used to
define all the messages that will be exchanged between remote systems
and the name of thes logical systems. Any filters can also be specified.
The model once created has to be distributed on every system which will
be communicating ,It can be maintained on only One system.
Reward points if helpful.
Thanks

How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations

Hi everybody,
How can we transport the partner profiles and Port configurations. While creating these , system will not ask for Dev class and we cant assign any Transport request number. Then How can we transport these settings?
Your replies are really apreciable.
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
please have a look of the OSS note: 182172
>>
The partner profiles are stored in the following tables:
Table EDPP1: General partner profile
Table EDP12: Partner profile outbound, additional data NAST
Table EDP13: Partner profile outbound
Table EDP21: Partner profile inbound
Table EDIPHONE: Connection to SAP telephony (optional)
You can use R3TR TABU to manually set the tables into a Customizing request (as of Release 46, into a SYST-type request).

Partner Profile and its configuration.

Hi all,
I am creating an SD IDoc using EDI and send it between two servers.
I need to know what is a partner profile and why should we create it.
what are the steps to be followed in maintaining a partner profile and its configuration.
Any pointers will be highly apppreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jose

Hi Jose,
Below is a material you can go through .
Creating an Outbound Partner Profile
Here you must enter the data manually. Alternatively, you can also transfer the default values from Customizing.
If you are not yet on the change screen of your desired partner, choose SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Runtime Settings ® Partner Agreement (WE20).
1. Position the mouse on your partner in the required partner type node. Choose in the Outbound Parameter table.
Key Fields
2. You have already determined partner number and partner type in general partner processing. The partner function from the master data defines the addressee, that is, it is used for further classification purposes. If you have selected outbound processing under Message Control (MC), the function must be identical to the corresponding Message Control field. Otherwise, it is optional.
Partner A (customer 1110) wants to order a material from partner B (vendor 1014). Partner B is of the partner type LI (vendor) and must choose the Message Control value VD (vendor) as the partner function because orders must always be processed using Message Control.
3. Specify the business process with the logical message, within which the IDoc type is used. The logical message is described by three parameters: The message type is based on EDIFACT message types: For example, a purchase order is of type ORDERS. You can further divide the message type with the optional fields message code and message function.
4. Configure the test indicator if you want to send the message as a test.
Message, partner and test indicator are the seven key fields of the outbound partner profiles (the client comes in addition to these). Also see the graphic at the end of this section.
Other Fields
5. In the Outbound options tab page, you can determine whether IDocs are forwarded immediately to the receiving system. You should ensure that your entries are compatible with the Message Control priorities, if you have chosen outbound processing under Message Control. A list of recommended combinations is provided in the section Outbound Processing Under MC: Procedure.
6. You have already defined the Recipient port in Port definition.
7. If a port of type TRFC is used, the Queue Processing field is visible. You can use the indicator to specify whether IDocs are to be sent with qRFC. This sending technique is only possible for recipient SAP systems as of SAP Web AS 6.20.
You should only set this flag if it is really necessary that the IDocs sent are received in the receiving system in the same sequence as they were sent by the sender system. Queuing can cause posting delays in the receiving system, because an IDoc in the queue cannot be posted. In this case, the following IDocs in the queue cannot be posted until the error is resolved.
8. If you have set the Queue Processing indicator, the Rule Name field, which you must then also maintain, appears as well. The rule name defines the rules for queue names. You can specify these rules in the transaction qRFC IDoc Queue Name Rules (WE85).
9. Specify the IDoc type as the Basic type with or without extension. If you want to use a view of your IDoc type (for example, to improve the performance), specify this here.
The figure below shows the m-to-n relationship between logical messages (business meaning) and IDoc types (technical format). Message 1, for example, is always assigned to one IDoc type, while message 3 is assigned to two IDoc types. IDoc type 2, in turn, is also assigned to 2 logical messages.
10. The segment release specifies the release from which the segment definitions (not the IDoc type definition) originates. We recommend that you leave this field blank so that the most recent segment definition is used.
11. You can propose an EDI standard, version and EDI message type for the receiving system in the tab page EDI Standard. Most subsystems, however, should be able to determine these EDI settings themselves (from the logical message).
12. You can define permitted agents for cases in which exceptions occur. This entry overrides the entry in the general partner profiles. Depending on the message, therefore, the exception can be handled by different agents of the same partner.
13. You can specify whether syntax errors are to be ignored or are to lead to a processing error (Cancel Processing flag under syntax check in the tab page outbound options). For more information about exception handling and permitted agents, refer to the following section: Exception Handling
14. If your hardware supports it, create partner and message specific telephony data for outbound IDocs. For more information, see General Partner Profile.
Graphic: Outbound partner profile fields (general)
Key fields are shown in gray. The values for partner, message and test indicator (and client) therefore provide a unique ID for the IDoc type in outbound processing.

Praveen

What is the difference between generate partner profile and creat partner

What is the difference between generate partner profile and creat partner profile ?

Create Partner ProfilesAlthough partner profiles are usually created automatically, because of the unusual inbound and outbound profiles needed on the same system, the manual generation of certain profiles is required.
The following subsections describe the partner profile settings for the standard client (assumed here to be ALExxxCyyy), as well as for the corresponding dummy client (assumed to be DUMxxxCyyy). The dummy client partner profiles should have been generated by the automatic generation process completed previously. Nevertheless, these should be checked to ensure that all profiles exist.
Generation of Partner Profiles
The following messages should be added to the 4xx-ORDR model for ALExxxCyyy to DUMxxxCyyy on the reference client:
ORDERS
ORDCHG
ZINVRV
ORDRSP
INVOIC
FIDCMT
The partner profiles should first be generated using the standard auto-generation procedure on the reference client (for SYNCH messages to be created).
This model should now be distributed to the both ALExxxCyyy and DUMxxxCyyy.
The partner profiles should now be generated on the client being configured (i.e. yyy) using the auto-generation procedure defined in the standard ALE configuration procedures.
Generate partner profiles for sending system. (Can only do this if at least 1 message type exists against the sending system's LS). This automatically generates the port if the LS and RFC name are the same.
generate partner profiles tcode BD82
creating partner profiles tcode WE20
 There are two methods for maintaining the partner profile:
 Maintain partner profile manually:
To navigate to the partner profile in the sender system, choose Partner profile -> Partner type of Logical System and click on the required Target system. Under Outbound parameters, choose the Create outbound parameters icon, and enter the values for the outbound parameters according to the slide Sender: Partner Profile (outbound).
To navigate to the partner profile in the sender system, choose Partner profile -> Partner type of Logical System and click on the required Sending system. Under Inbound parameters, choose the Create inbound parameters icon and enter the values for the inbound parameters according to the slide Sender: Partner Profile (inbound).
 Generate partner profile:
Prerequisite: The current distribution model is distributed to all participating systems.
In the sender system, choose: Generate Partner Profile, then check the result in the partner profile (outbound)
In the sender system, choose: Generate Partner Profile, then check the result in the partner profile (inbound)

Regenerating ports for Partner Profiles and Source System (RSA1)

Hello all you SAP gurus,
During a recent backcopy we have an issue after updating Logical System names using BDLS. This has updated the Partner Profiles (WE20) correctly.
BUT
These partner profiles are trying to use ports (WE21) that have been mistakenly deleted. But if we try to recreate the ports we get the message
-"Choose another name! Name range reserved!"-
This specific port is referenced in outbound parameters. Perhaps this is stopping the change?
We could create new ports and hook them up to the partner profiles, but I'm concerned that there might be other locations where the deleted ports are referenced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi J,
You can try and disconnect and re-connect the BW System to R/3. That would force the recreation of the Partner Profile.
Take a look at the connection data in table RSBASIDOC, write down the parameters, especially the IDoc Type.
In SE37, run function RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT_40 and specify parameters for BW System.
Then run RSAP_BIW_CONNECT_40 and specify those parameter again for the BW System.
This will recreate the Partner Profiles. Then check the assigned ports and see if you still have the same issue. Just make sure the RFC connection is set correctly and working in SM59 before doing all this.
In any case, you can create new ports in WE21 and allow the system to assign the numbers automatically and you won't have any issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Luis

Partner profile and partner number in output of order/invoice.

Hello Experts,
I want to know how system pick partner profile from output type triggered in sales order/invoice??
I could see partner profile is different from partner number exist in output triggered in sales order/invoice.
I want to know the triggering point of idoc from SO/invoice.
Thanks

The phrase "ouptut goes to partner" indicates that the partner will be recipient of the output type. E.g., ship-to partner will be the recipient of the delivery and the delivery note.
The use of an output partner in the output condition record is used to control the output device used in the output determination - a completely separate issue.
Unless you are (e.g.) using different printers for outputs which will be sent to different partners, you would likely be better off using a more generic access for your output condition records.

Doubt regaurding message server in IR, partner profile and transporting XI

Hi guys,
Can someone help me in figuring out the need of message server and group after importing IDOC into IR. where can i find the message server ip address?
I am also wondering in the partner profiles when we need to use logical system (LS) or Supplier/vendors (LI) or Customers/debtor (KU) or etc.?
Please explain how to transport developer xi system to production server?
Cheers
Ram

Hi,
>>>>----> how to transport XI objects to production system?
the easiest way is to use file transport
you can export a file from IR and ID and import it into QAT and then into PRD
all you need for ID is to create transport targets in SLD
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ef/a21e3e0987760be10000000a114084/content.htm
so the names of your systems will change
you can also refer to this:

/people/sap.india5/blog/2005/11/09/xi-software-logistics-ii-overview
but as I mentioned file tranport is the easiest way
>>>>-------> How about the option group?
you can put everything in idoc import menu
and use separate option when asked

There are three types of records
Control Record
Data Record
Status Record
Control Record - contains the key information like destination, IDoc type, message type, port and sender information.
Control records are of EDIDC type of structure
Runtime Components
Data Records - This contains two parts
Administrative Section and Data Section
Administrative Section consists of Idoc number, Segment Name, Segment number, Version, Segment Hierarchy etc.
Data Section contains the data of respective segment
Data records are of EDIDD type of structure
Status Record - whenever a process is taken place, system will generate status records.
We can identify the process with the number of status record.
01 - 49 for Outbound Process
50 - 75 for Inbound Process

Regarding ports and partner profiles in ALE.

Hi All,
Please tell me how to transport the partner profiles and ports from Development to Quality systems.
Please reply asap.

SALE Area Menu for ALE configurations.It includes transactions for
Logical System definition and linking it to a client, Transactions for
RFC Destination and Port Definition Etc.
SM59 RFC Destination
Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
WE21 Port Definition.
There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
types of ports are important.
We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
WE20 Partner Profile
Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
mentioned.

Steps to Configure Port and Partner Profile for Outbound process

Hi,
I want to Configure the partner profile and Port definition for outbound Message type REMADV ( for Vendor).
Could anyone please tell me the steps to configure.
Thank you,
Renu

Hi Renu,
In partner profile we define the system which are going to communicate between themself and send data, here we give some logical name for the system which are going to be partners in data communication.we set it using WE20
Port is a medium through which we send the data it connect one system with the system in other end its unique, depend on the scenario we use diff ports like file port(EDI) transactoional port(ALE) internet port(for internet apl), like this i dont remember all the name, so according to our application type we select the ports we set port using WE21 usally tport name start with A*** something like this. withour defining a port we cant communicate with other system its the linker b/w the 2 system.
For more information please refer the following links:

Partner profile...port....logical system....!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
few stupid questions came to my mind but no document cleard it, so thought that someone might throw some light on this.

What is logical system in R/3 and why do we create that ?
what do we mean by partner profile and what is its significance?
what is use of port...???
these all three parameters we look when we create outbound IDOCs for IDOC to file (of any other) scenario.
thanks,
Pranav

Hi Pranav,
What is logical system in R/3 and why do we create that ?
A logical system is your R/3 address where you can distribute data to and from an R/3 system.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/integrate.904/b10299/ale.htm This link gives you a better idea of a logical system.
what do we mean by partner profile and what is its significance?
Based on an existing logical system, a partner profile is an identifier for a system used for communicating messages.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10465_01/integrate.904/b10408/ale.htm gives you a very good idea regarding partner profiles and ports.
Hope these help,
Regards
Kiran..

system copy : how to backup your rfc connections, partner profiles (we20) amd ports in IDOC processing (we21) ???
Hi forum,
if you want to copy your production system to your quality assurance system you can export users and later on reimport
it to save work. That's good.
But how about RFC connections, partner profiles and ports in IDOC processing ? Anyway to export and reimport it later on ?
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
O.Eggert

Hi forum,
in the meantime I found out how to handle this matter. May be this solution is not very elegant, but it works.
As for RFC-Connections there are several tables beginning with rfc. e.g., rfccheck. But 4 of it only differ from one system
to the next. These are rfcdes, rfcdoc, rfcattrib and rfccheck. What I did is the following : I used
brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbexport -t "RFC3"
and quite simply exported these tables. Then I deleted some of the RFC-Connections, both ABAP and TCP/IP. After reimporting
what I exported before all these destinations were availlable again. As for ABAP the password had to be reentered but this
can be avoided, too. Have a look at transaction /nsecstore. The tables behind it are RSECTAB and RSECACTB, rspectively.
Export it after having exported the rfc* tables and reimport it after having reimported the rfc* tables. Very important : enable
the option "consistent export" !!!
It worked this way although there might be better and more elegant solutions.
As for transaction we20 check sap not 182172.
Hope that I could be of profit to this forum.
Kind regards
Olaf Eggert
p.s.
import command : brspace -u sapsr3/<password> -f tbimport.
Them select what you exported before.
