'Accept IDOC' from external system

Hi Experts, I am new to IDOCS. I have to update one already written function module to accept IDOC in SAP from external system. In the function module I see some IMPORT parameters like 'input_method' and 'mass_processing' and EXPORT parameters like 'workflow_result' , 'application_variable' , 'in_update_task', 'call_transaction_done' . Can someone tell me what are these parameters for ???.

input _method for method of data records update
Mass_processing for handling the large number of Idocs in single take
Workflow_result for hitting the results at last
'in_update_task' update the records in update mode
call_transaction_done' by using call transaction method it would post the records

Hi,
I have scenarion in that we will receive IDOC from external system (SAP system) in XI i.e. IDOC- XI -IDOC scenrio. from my Understanding ,to configure the scenario I have to do ALE from sender side and IDOC receiver channel in receiving side.
External system (SAP) -(ALE)-> XI -(IDOC rcv)--> Our System (SAP)
Please can anyone provide me steps to do ALE from external system.

Hi,
We can have alternate ways to send IDocs from external system to SAP system. One way is in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46b/helpdata/en/52/16abf6543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/ru/52/16abcf543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm
I can think of few more, like In external system after generating Idoc, save it as a tex and send it to SAP system using Http post or using web service.
Look out to below discussion.

Send IDoc from External System to SAP system

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to send IDocs from an external system to the SAp system. Basically the external system is a subsystem which is able to send & receive idocs. The external system is currently able to send idocs to SAP system through the ALE layer but now we have to replace it by PI. Now the external system has to send teh IDocs to the SAP ECC system through the SAP PI 7.0.
Kindly let me knowq how I can achieve it.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Satish,
You can achieve this requirement
1)If your external system going to support web service cals then send IDoc from External system as a web service, in PI use sender side SOAP and receiver side IDoc receiver channel to send IDoc.
or
2)Use proxy program ,implement the same ALE logic in PI.
or
3)Copy the Extenal IDoc message in to file folder as XML,then use file adapter to pick up this message and send it SAP using IDoc.

Sending IDoc from external system to XI system

Hi All,
I want to send an IDoc from a subsytem (External System) to the SAP PI system. how to achieve the same ?
Regards,
Santosh

hi,
>>>Do you mean to say the port I am creating for the external system should actually refer to a SAP system
not the port - port's name should be a new one but the RFC should point to an SAP system
>>>and the IDoc you want to transmit should be imported to that port using the tcode IDX2.
this will be transported then from SAP application system
>>>>In fact I have already done the same step but its still not working the IDoc is not reaching the XI system.
then you should see the error in your sending tool - I worked with JCO IDOC client and the error was always
very explanatory (like BS in SLD missing etc.) so it was pretty easy to debug

Error sending IDOC from external Java application to Sap ERP system

Hi Experts!
When I try to send Idoc from Java application to XI an error occurs : no service for system CLNTJAVA, client in Integration Server.
My question is: What value the setSenderPort() is excepting?The Java third party business system's logical name or the ERP business system's logical name where the JCO can be found?I tried both of them, but still have the problem.
Please help. I read all threads about this error, but non of those can help me.
My relevant java sourcecode:
doc.setSenderPort("CLNTJAVA");
The XI documentation says that:In the case of non-SAP senders, the entry in the SNDPOR field is interpreted as a logical system name, and the corresponding business system is searched for in the runtime cache.
Both case(third party business sytem and erp business system) I have configured the ID i think correctly. I made a business systems,I configured the adapter specific identifies,I made the IDX1 port,I made the RFC destination,I polled the IDOC type with IDX2 transaction, I have made full cache refresh,I configured the INTEGRATION_DIRECTORY_HMI rfc destination,but I do not made any communication channels, receiver determinations, receiver agreement.
My configurations if it can help for you.
Hostname:sapsp5
System name: NE2
Clients:
000 ERP
001 Integration Server
SLD configurations:
Third Party Technical system name: Java_sytem
Business System:CLNTJAVA
Logical system name: CLNTJAVA
ID configurations:
Business System:CLNTJAVA
adapter-specific identifiers:logical system:CLNTJAVA, the rest is initial,because I cant change it.
IDX1 port name: CLNTJAVA the client is 001. the rfc destination is client_001.
I think the IDX1 port and the adapter specific identifiers are wrong. is it?
my java source if the sender is the JCO
doc.setSenderPort("INTSERV");
My configurations if the sender is the JCO.
SLD configurations:
Technical system name: NE2
Business System:INTEGRATION_SERVER_NE2
Logical system name: INTSERV
ID configurations:
Business System:INTEGRATION_SERVER_NE2
adapter-specific identifiers:logical system:INTSERV,system NE2,client 001.
IDX1 port name: INTSERV the client is 001. the rfc destination is client_001.
Could this error be an autorization error?I tired to connect to the xi from the Java, with the user PIISUSER extended with PISUPER roles.
Thank very much.

Hi!
My SNDPOR already set to my source business system's logical name if you check my configurations(JAVACLNT), so there is another problem unfortunately. I set SNDPRN to JAVA, but it still does not work.
Check this configuration please(posted here:
No service for system ... in Integration Directory)
doc.setMessageType("ACC_DOCUMENT");
doc.setRecipientPort("SAPSE1"); // get stuck in XI mapping if not set
doc.setRecipientPartnerType("LS");
doc.setRecipientPartnerNumber("SE1CLNT500");
doc.setSenderPort("SAP3MA");
doc.setSenderPartnerType("LS");
doc.setSenderPartnerNumber("TREMACLNT");
doc.setClient("100");
Inside XI configuration integration builder
Business Service: Service: TREMACLNT
Under the menu Service - Adapter specific identifiers
Idoc Adapter Logical system: TAPPMAN (This thing is important when sending idoc XI -> SAP and should match the logical sys in the receiving SAP system)
IDoc Adapter and RFC adapter R/3 Sysytem ID: 3MA
Client: 100
In IDX1 trans
Port: SAP3MA (Note that the 3MA here is matched against the IDoc Adapter and RFC adapter R/3 Sysytem ID: 3MA)
(a not so well documented feature)
Client: 100
RFC Destination: SE1 (A SAP test system from where IDOC def can be imported, rfc dests are setup in SM59)
I guess that your idx1 port name is the same as the SNDPOR value. I think it should be, because the XI is whatching the IDOC traffic in the idoc adapter port, so you should send the IDOC from external system to the adapter port. Is it right?
My idx1 port is the same as my SNDPOR value in Java,but still came the error.

Modify PO from external system

Hi all,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 with extended classi scenario.
Until now we have a R3 system where we create PO, but we also have got a functionality for modifing particular information of PO in a lagacy system, that comunicate with R3 between idoc.
Now we migrate the lifecycle of PO in SRM, but the legacy system remains.
Wich is the best way for modify a PO from a legacy system in SRM?
thanks
enzo

Hi,
You can try multiple methods ( mostly non-standard), one is use the SRM function modules to update PO, when you send the data from external system, other method is PO response( send the changes from external system as PO response in SRM).
Hope above methods will resolve your issue.
Thank you

Create activity from external system

Hi
What is meant by creating activity from external system.
I need to work on an enhancement which deals with function module to create activity that can be called from external systems e.g. on demand.
I am not sure what does that exactly mean?
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Alka

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers... But is it possible to call transaction NOTIF_CREATE from an external system?
I have done something already so that those 3 fields will be automatically populated for a message sent from an external system.
I changed the screen and called FM BAPI_NOTIFICATION_CREATE(a remote enabled FM which is the one being used by transaction NOTIF_CREATE to create a message) inside FM BCOS_SEND_MSG.
I populated the category, subject and solution in the FM export parameters as well as the solution number in the sap data table. I put a destination also..
This FM calls another FM DNO_OW_CREATE_NOTIFICATION which is the one being used from the external system but do not cater the functionality to send the 3 fields that we need.
As you will notice, there are lots of standard objects that I've changed. =)
My problem now is that the system data sent is the same with the system data if you create the message using NOTIF_CREATE. Some system that were sent when a message is sent from an external system is missing but at least the sap system and client ID is sent. There is no external reference number also. But hopefullly, the users will accept it. Can't find any other solution to this.
Thanks,
Eric

Steps of EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system

Hi Experts,
Can you provide me Steps to configure EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system?
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks in advance!
Sapna

Hello,
 The EDI Configuration required to be done for Transfering IDoc to non SAP System is.
1. First of all, we need to identify the Transaction Data which is required to be Transfered to external System.(Ex: Sales Order Data or Shipment Data or Delivery Related Data).
2. Secondly, Identify the IDoc Type & Message Type. IDoc Type can be found in Transaction WE30 & Message Type Can be explored in Transaction WE81.
3. After that, assign the IDoc Type to Message Type in WE82.
4. Identify the Selection Program (Outbound) which is generally a Function Module in the Form of IDOC_OUTPUT_<Message Type>. Example, if the Message Type is ORDERS, the FM will be IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS.
5. Assign the Function Module to a Process Code in WE41 (Process Code for Outbound).
6. Configure Port Definitions in WE21 for which the RFC destinations are to be maintained in Transaction SM59.
7. Maintain Partner Profiles for the Outbound Message Processing in WE20.
8. Last, but not the Least, we need to Focus Mainly on Message Control Configuration which is nothing but maintaining the Output Type for the Outbound IDoc to be Triggered for the Sales Order Application or Delivery Application.
 i. In Message Control Configuration, we'll maintain
 a. Condition Tables
 b. Access Sequences
 c. Output Types
 ii. To Create the above elements, we can go to SPRO Transaction and do the same depending on the Application Area such as Sales / Shipping / Logistics Execution etc.
 iii. For Output Types & Access Sequences, we can go to the Transaction NACE or VK01 in which we'll maintain the Output Types / Access Sequences & Condition Records.
 Please note that all the above steps may not be needed if we are using some of the Standard Elements provided by SAP such as Message Type, Process Code, IDoc Type & Selection Program as many of the Standard SAP Applications have their own Elements for different Application Areas.
 For example, if you want to send an Order Confirmation IDoc when the Sales Order is saved, you can use the Message Type ORDRSP, IDoc Type ORDERS05 & Selection Program as IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP.
 However, Message Control Configuration is the Key Factor and is required for all the Applications as per the Customer's / Client's Requirements.
Hope the above procedure was clear.
Thanks and Regards,

How to call RFC from external System to get HR Data

According to the requirement the "HR" Workflow has to be able to view the employee details from external system Using the standard Microsoft connectors.
So, my job is to create an RFC where i need to fetch the HR data from the infotypes P0001 and P0002. And they will call this RFC by requesting employees surname, ID number and/or Employee number.
Do i need to simply write OPEN SQL statements in RFC or
do i need to call any BAPI's?
Setting up RFC's(Creation of Destinations) is not our job.
Someone Please help me in this regard with some valuable input. Thanks in Advance.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
to get the information from HR sytem you could call the BAPI
BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA

Send IDOC from SAP system to IX but can't see any message in SXI_MONITOR

Hi all,
I have built up an XI system and configured an IDOC to IDOC scenario between two SAP Systems. After completed all configuration necessary:
1. Configuration on Source Side (SAP System that send IDOC) and on Target Side (SAP System that receive IDOC) is OK.
2. SLD is OK: Technical System and Business System are correct for these two SAP System.
3. Integration Repository: all designed Object is OK.
4. Integration Directory: all configuration is OK. "Test Configuration" Function is OK.
5. Runtime WorkBench: is OK. "Test Message" Function of "Integration Server" is OK.
In general, it is all OK.
But when i send an IDOC from SAP System Sour Side (Outbound IDOC from Source Side is OK), on the XI server i can't see any message in Tcode SXI_MONITOR. In this case, my XI server didn't receive any IDOC Message from this Source Side, and so that my XI server can't process and exchange any IDOC sent from Source Side.
Anyone can please help me to explain this problem: why my XI server can't receive any IDOC message from SAP System Source Side when all configuration is OK? Do anyone see the same case as this case?
Thanks a lot for all in advance,
Best regards,
Vinh vo

Options to extract from external system

Hi,
What are all the possible options (DB connect, UD connect...) are there in BW to extract data from external system in BW and under which circumstances which one to use.
Thanks,
sam

Hi Sam,
Some information about DB Connect.
DB Connect allows you to have extra database connections besides the default connection for SAP.
You use these connections to access databases and transfer data into a BI system.
In general, BI application servers can only be supported for DB Connect on operating system versions where a SAP Database Shared Library (DBSL) has been released for the BI database and the source database.
Please see this link below

Hello,
I have create a an external content type .
I Choose "Connect with user's Identity".
I create a external list that uses the ExternalContentType.
When I try open the external list from browser by User "TestUser" . I get the following error "Message from External System : 'Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\IUSR'.'"
My Question :
I need to know why pass the credential "NT AUTHORITY\IUSR" to connect to the data base not the
current log in"TestUser" ? How Can I solve it ?
Thanks

Hi,
did you configure Kerberos delegation?
NTLM fails when you try to open external list from client computer, because SharePoint cannot pass user's identity - "Double Hop" issue.
Take a look at confguring Kerberos for SharePoint 2010 white paper

IDOC from One System to another

Hi All,
I am sending idocs from one system to another For Eg System A to System B .
Now suppose 2 idocs are generated 1 and 2.
Now how to determine , for idoc 1 in system A, what is the corresponding Inbound Idoc in System B because the data which is coming in System B might be different than in System A for the same Idoc?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
direction 1 for outbound idoc,
              2 for inbound idoc,
goto tcode WE02
enter direction - 2.
creation date
and basic type i.e. idoc type
double click on an idoc num.
on L.H.S u have 'Control REc' double click on it..
it contains all the sender details and to what outbound idoc it corressponds to -> basic type, message type
    -> Partner details like partner num, port, partner type
    -> date & time of creation
    -> and the other details
