Transfer Integration Scenario from Integration Repository

Hello,
I am in the process of setting up a 2004s PI system. I have gone thru the PI template installer in the NWA, applied note 939592 due to a central SLD and I am not stepping through the readiness check from note 817920. I am using version 3 of the check. I am running into an error at step 2.7. This is the step to test the connectivity between the Integration Directory and the Integration Repository. When I press the F4-Help for the Field name, the search results returns "No objects found!". I checked all the connections in the exchange profile and they all seem to be set properly. I then went to menu Tools -> Configuration Wizard. I received a popup stating "Cannot connect to Repository". The details are the following:
#22 11:32:10 [AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR com.sap.aii.utilxi.swing.toolkit.ExceptionDialog: Throwable

I did see another message in the forum (Re: Integration scenarios from Integration Rep) that was very similar but the solution provided in there did not work for me.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks.

Yes, I checked everything under the "Connections" section to make sure port, host name, user and passwords were correct. From what I can see, it is all correct. I also checked under the IntegrationBuilder and IntegrationServer sections to make sure the port, host, user and passwords are correct. From what I could see, it was all correct.
Thanks.

Integration scenarios from Integration Rep

Hi
I try to import integration scenarios from Integration respository to Inetgration directory. But when I click on Tools --transfer scenarios from Irep, and then click on the question mark, there are no scenarios showing up.The Table is empty.
Can any one help??
Thanks
Subbu

Hi,
Check whether your Integration scenario is activated properly or not....?once you activate it...you should be able to see the your integration scenario in the ID.
Tools--->Transfer Integration scenario from Integration repository.Go for help button....and wait for a while...u can able to see all the objects of IR and filter according to ur namespace where u have developed ur integration scenario.

Deleting scenario from Integration Repository.

Dear All,
I was having one scenario in the Dev server which was having all the objects in it like namespace, DT, MT, MI, MM & IM. After testing now I want to delete the complete scenario from Repository. I have deleted all the objects like DT, MT, MI, MM & IM. But when I am deleting the namespace its giving me an error that delete the objects first. I am checking the objects and none of them is existing as I have already deleted them. I have even activated the scenario after deletion of the objects.
When I am deleting the namespace then its giving me an error that 2 objects are already exisitng and they will be deleted irrevocably.
Please guide me on how to delete the complete scenario fro IR.
Regards,
jain

Hi nishu,
First activate the two default data types(exchane ,log) thats created during any namespace creation and then try to delete the namespace...it should be deleted now...!!!
If u still face the problem!!!
click on the namespace and chek "where-used"..then u can see ...which objects are still associated with it....after deleting activate the changelist..then...delete the namespace!!!

Can u deisgn Integration scenario without Integration repository?

Hello,
Is it possible to design an Integration scenario to without Integration repository(without creating any repository objects)?
if yes, How do we do that?
regards,
haritha
[email protected]

Haritha,
Do u mean the Integration Scenario Object in XI? I think we can't create Integration Scenario Object without IR. More over u have to create Integration scenario itself in IR only right?
Or u mean that u want to create some scenario's without IR object. If yes then its definitely possible.
Can u clarify which one u refer here.

Doubt in transfering integration scenario from IR

Hi guys,
I'm trying to transfer my IS from IR. I have created communication channel template in IR. I plan to follow the configuration wizard in ID. I have assigned business systems in the objects tab. I want to create my communication channel based on my communication channel template from IR. Can anyone please tell me, how is this achievable from the configuration wizard???
Thanks
Varun

Hi Varun,
Check my posting for File to IDOC scenario on wiki
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/fileToIDOC&
it's having all the ans. for your questions with screen shot.
check these points as well
1. Assign your Communication channel template in IS
2. Even U can create the Business System through Wizard without creating under object Tab.
3. CC from CCT is defined in the above link
else u can create CC from CCT by clicking in the menu for CC and choose Import CCT.

Integration scenarios from scratch: idocs or enterprise service

Hello,
We are starting a SAP PI implementation for a new SAP ECC 6.0 system. The implementation is from scratch, so we don't have to consider any historical issues or decisions. One of the first business processes to be integrated with business partners is the Procure-to-Pay process. The old way of implementing this B2B scenario was with idocs (e.g. ORDERS05 and INVOIC03), but nowadays the enterprise service bundles also contain services for this scenario. Should I choose idocs or enterprise services as a technique to get the information send to SAP PI or send the information to SAP ECC? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques? Does anyone have experience with the implementation of the enterprise services for Procure-to-Pay?
Thanks for your response!
Kind Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
here are my 2 cents to your very interesting disussion.
The IDOC was designed to customize EDI data distributions between SAP Systems via messagetypes and transaktioncodes (Vorgangscodes) in the partnerdetermination which itself is mapped (the "Vorgangscode") to functional modules to do "something". The complete customizing of IDOC distribution might sometimes seems to be complex (and we both know it is more than that but it is FULL CUSTOMIZABLE from a consulting point of view.
The Enterprise Service (my personal view multiplied with the last TechEds and RampUp Delta courses) have another focus. An Enterprise Service is (mostly) some entity which is consumable from the outside world such that they are implemented with Request-Response patterns. When you only want to distribute information why will one use something like Request Response Patterns? One could argue to get back any response, any confirmation or something else....but this is also possible with IDOCs and their acks.
Another argument against to use an ES for P2P outbound scenario is, if yet not seen any ES which is triggert while create a purchase order in its related transaction. Is the BADI for such Transaction triggering the ES while the save event has been processed? If you could find out this fact and if the BADI (or some new kind of user exit for transactions) is implemented and fully supported from SAP I would choose the ES in the P2P processs. Otherwise why using the ES instead of the IDOC when using a PI as Middleware which is converting the source message type (ES or IDOC) into its proparitary legacy system format. Please let me know when you found such userexit/BADI for ES.
Please don't missunderstand my point of view, I would really throw away these IDOCS and using a couple of ES instead but what is the fully supported STANDARD from a customizable and manageable point of view. When you are familiar with proxy technology you know how easy to implement, monitor and manageble theses technology is - BUT - you always have to code some (maybe not release independent) proxy method and you maybe have to invest some knowledge for error handling, rollbacks or additional commit works - all of these stuff will be handled (mostly ) by the SAP standard delivered functions.
Last but not least - if there is any standard out there to trigger an ES from a transaction without coding I would rather use the ES instead of the IDOC. If there is no such standard I would discuss the functionality with the customer (if to complex implement an inbound or outbound proxy=ES) or extend the IDOC or use a BAPI (and extend the BAPI if needed) - mostly the proxy will the be the easiest choice if the needed field count is not to much (<30).
So long, let me know about your findings and your decision.

Dries

Multiple component view in integration scenario

Hi
I have multiple component views defined in my integration scenario.
When i try to configure these component view in Integration directory in integration scenarion configurator, if I select the component view i want to apply then the systems give a message " All configuration settings made in the current component view will be lost".
This means that if i have configured the first component view and then try to configure the second component view then setting of first view get lost.
i want to have all the configure all the component views in the integration scenario.
Please provide some pointers for the issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Amit Deshpande

Amit,
When you have multiple component views in the Integration scenario, you would ideally want to create separate configuration scenarios for each component view.
So for eg. if you have four component views, 4 different configuration scenarios can be created using the integration scenario configurator. The only thing is that you would have to repeat the integration scenario configurator steps[Tools->Transfer Integration Scenario from Integration Repository] 4 times, once for each component view. If you notice, you can change the name of the configuration scenario each time you start afresh.
The message is a warning that if you go back during the integration scenario configuration process[the first step is the selection of the component view for which you want the configuration scenario] and change the component view then all the changes made thus far would be lost.
For e.g if you are in step 3[Assign Services, I think] and then go back and change the component view, all the changes made for the original component view selected would be lost.
Hope this helps.

SRM to MDM Scenario -- Unable to Edit the Integration Scenario

Hi Experts,
I'm doing a scenario in XI/PI from SRM to MDM.
I had downloaded all the related content from service market place and also established SLD connections as well.
When I'm trying to import the Integration Scenario from Integration Repository to Integration Directory I'm getting the follwing error.
Software component version with GUID 77891250-7da4-11d8-b240-e6890a114c15
does not exist (SWC_NOT_EXIST)
I'm unable to edit the integration scenario in IR even with PISUPER credentials which have all the access.
I'm also unable to edit any of the other objects as well (e.g.,Message Interface,Interface Mapping etc.,)
PFB the link where I pasted the error snapshot I'm getting when I'm trying to open the Integration Scenario in IR.
[http://picasaweb.google.co.in/prajwal24/MyScenario#5492932473682114498]
Can anyone please help me out on what can be done to edit the Integartion Scenario.
Thanks and Regards,
Pruthvi

Thanks kaushik and Salvi for your valuable inputs.
I have created a copy and now able to edit the Integration Scenario.
But again a new problem came up.
Now after editing the predefined scenario which has only SRM 5.0 and SRM 7.0
I need to add SRM 7.0 application component here in this Integration scenario and this was done successfully.
Now i need to add one send action and this send action is present in the SWC SRM SERVER IC 7.0.
I had downloaded the SRM SERVER IC 7.0 content already and I'm able to see in Integration Repository also.
But this SWC is not present in the application component SAP SRM (WITH SAP EBP) 7.0.
Please let me know what to do now inorder to add this send action in that application component.

Pruthvi

Regarding Integration Scenario and Communication Channel Template

Dear All,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
Please clarify my doubts.Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ramana.

Hi Ramana,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
>>> For graphical overview about the sceanrio.It is not compulsary to create Integration Sceanrio.
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
>>> In integration scenario while creating the connection between two actions u need to specify the communication channel templates for Sender and Receiver.
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
>>>You can utilize these templates in ID.After completion to creating the configuration sceanrio need to modify the parameters of the channels.
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
>>> From Tools-->Transfer Integration sceanrio from Integration Repository, From input help choose the sceanrio,Continue and click on Finish ,with the same name the configuration scenaro will create in ID.You need to follow the Confiuration steps like Assign services , here need to choose u r source & target business systems and Configure Connections in this step you can cross check the interfaces,mapping,channel templates involved in this sceanrio and Generate. It would automatically generates Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination. It would shown to u Generation Log, here you can check what are the objects generated and if there are any errors it would shown Number of errors.
By setting the appropriate channel parameters, activate all objects from change list.Now u can able to test the sceanrio.
However in latest version it is not compulsoary to create Integration sceanrio in IR and to the above things.You can use Configuration Wizard to do all these things or you can do these mauvally.
Hope it will helps to clear u r doubts.

Create scenario in Integration Directory eroor:java.lang.NullPointerExcept

Dear all,
I have create all thing under software component SAP BW 7: message interfarence and import object rfc, also create integration senario.
now while i am going to create scenario from Integration Directory > select internal communication and enter create getting error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Internal problem occurred (INTERNAL_PROBLEM)
i have transferd Integaration scenario from IR and than try to do same, got same error,
whats the initial steps for importing Integration Repository design in to Integration Directory?
Best regards,
dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Actually it should work...
try first this one
In ID -->First import the Integration Scenario by clicking tolls -->Transfer IS from IR
Then
Click Create Object in ID then you will get the scrren 3 0f 4.5 as per the link...
Then click create ---> and enter the service name (if does not exist it is automatically created)
Then select remaining as required...
Or else...
follow this...
Just Double click the Configuration Scenario under Configuration Objects and Proceed ( No need of Configuration Wizard required) and select your Integration scenario created in IR...
and rest you can create all the remaining steps under the Scenario that you created by following the smae steps...

sridhar

Doubt in Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I wuld like to know whether I can create a Integration Scenario after completing the Configuration steps (eventhough it doesnt make much sense)

Hi Aarthi,
Its not mandatory to create the integration scenario.
The integration Scenario in IR will be useful for re-presenting the whole flow of the interface.
If you do the itegration scenrio in Design time then you do not need to follow the stpes which is required in configuration like creating Aggrement,determination and all. you just need to import the scenario from integration repository that will avoid configure part.
Usually during the audit time the auditor checks whether IS is designed or not? as that is the good practive to design ur scenario with IS.
Companion Guide to Integration scenario
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2006/02/17/companion-guide-to-integration-scenario
It will be good loaction to get all the information about whole interface.
You could either create or transport the same Integration scenario in ID.
With the use of Integration scenario you could model the whole interface with all minute details
It comes under best practices. So if you create the IS it will be very easy for you to understand the and designe the business flow. Morevere becomes very easy while creating/configuring the Integration Directory, you just need to import the design objects form IR.
If you will not create IS, there is no harm. So it all depends upon client and also you.
Thanks,
Vijaya.

What is integration scenario & integration process in IR?

hi friends
1). can any one explain me about Integration scenario and Integration processes in "INTEGRATION REPOSITORY"?
2). why we need to use this IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?
3). what is advantage of using IS & IP(integration scenario and integration processes?

Hi Bharat,
Integration Scenario
An integration scenario completely models the exchange of
messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow.
It is overview of your whole integration scenario. In Integration Scenario each Swimlane represents a different business system. Mean you will have number of swimlanes as number of business system involved in your integration. Swimlane contains action. Actions are used for mentioning Inbound and outbound interfaces for the corresponding swimlane(business system).
Why we are using Integration Scenario?
We use integration scenario to genearate Integration Directory objects like Receiver Determination, Interface determination, Sender agreeement etc.
All XI content objects must be assigned to one or more integration scenarios (IS). Delivering XI-Content in the framework of an IS has the following advantages:
1. The IS provides you with a central point of access for all integration objects. This is necessary for semantic and technical integration and facilitates business-driven development.
2. The IS helps customers to understand the underlying business scenario of XI content objects.
3. The IS serves as a kick-start for the configuration of the content at the customer site. The aim is to minimize the configuration effort for the customer.

Integration Processes
An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).
the following case,u should consider to use integration process.
1.Control/Monitor the messages in XI
2. Collect/Merge the messages in XI
3. Split the messages in XI
4. To Multicast an Message
5. Send an Alert based on the very complex business logic
6. To integrate with cross component business process

Adding a new reciever to an existing integration scenario of conf in PI7.0

Hi SapAll.
here i have got a requirement to add one more reciever to an existing integration scenario in Integration Directory(Configuration).
this Integration scenario is for sending the idoc MATMAS.MATMAS05 From 5 Different SAP-R/3 Systems to 2 Recievers.
here iam using 5 different business systems with idoc communication channels for sending idocs and 2 business systems for recieving idocs in file format with file adapters.
so when iam trying to create new reciever detarmination or Interface Determination, it says object already exists.
but i can created reciever agreement without any error.
so can anybody guide me on how to create the Interface,Reciever Determinations without any error.
regards.
Varma

now i just created a new business system with file communication channel
Why have a Business System for a FILE channel? We normaly use Business Component/ Service.
You mentioned IDOC SENDER channels....why? For IDOC we just create Receiver channels...unless you want to specify IDOC packaging.
when iam trying to create a reciever detarmination from one of the existing sender system say like BUS_SENDER2 to new
reciver system ex:NEW_BUS_RECIEVER it says object already exists.
Receiver Determination can have the same BUS_SENDER2 system/ service as sender....but it should not have the same Interface Name....this is where PI is throwing the error.
There already exists a Receiver Detremination with BUS_SENDER2 as source system and the same message interface.
You can reuse the same RD by just entering one more receiver system/ service below the already existing one (in the RD)
In short just search your ID and you will see a RD created with the source details which you are trying to use.
If you want to see a difference, then create a new sender service/ system and then use this to create the RD!

Abhishek.
