Adapter Object

Hi Experts,
I am new to CRM Middleware. Please help me in knowing the difference between customizing adapter object and Business adapter object?

Hello,
Customizing object are meant to get the customizing data from R/3 to CRM.
You can check the customizing objects in txn:R3AC3.
Business objects are meant to get the actual data(master data as well as transaction data) from R/3 to CRM.
You can check them in txn:R3AC1.
For eg:
You want to download materials from R/3 to CRM.
But in order to get the materials to CRM first, you need to make sure that necessary customizng has been maintained(or downloaded from R/3) like material numbering scheme, numbering settings and hierarchy data etc.
Once this is downloaded then only materials can be downloaded from R/3 to CRM using the Business Object which is
MATERIAL in this case.
If you check the Business Object in txn:R3AC1, then you can see under Parent Object tab that customizing objects are maintained.Which means that customizing object has to be downloaded before performing business object download.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Best Regards,
Shanthala Kudva.

How to get the connected Adapter Object for a particular BDoc Type?

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which CRM system is connected to ERP system.
In SMW01 transaction, I can see one BDoc with BUS_TRANS_MSG as the BDoc Type in CRM.
Now, how do I get to know if this one BDoc is a SALESDOCUMENT or SALESCONTRACT.
Is there any way thorough which I can get to know the Adapter Object for this particular BDoc.
Regards,
Madhuri

Hi Madhuri,
Happy new year.
In Transaction : R3AC1.
You can observe the Linked BDOC for the adaptor objects. For example Sales docuemnt and Sales contrcat will have the same linked BDOC as "BUS_TRANS_MSG".
If you see an error in SMW01, you want to find whether it is salesdocument or contract.
1. Please take the Queue name from SMW01.
from the queue name you can find whether it is sales contract or sales document.
Queue name is customized in tables: SMOFQFIND.
I hope this helps you.

How to debug mapping module of a Adapter Object

I have created an Adapter object which will send data from ECC table to CRM. In the Table/Structure tab, I have mentioned the ECC table name for which data will come.
A FM is created to convert data and is mapped in Mapping Module of the object.Now though initial load is running sucessfully, table entry is not inserted in CRM table.
Though I have given breakpoint in the FM, it is not triggering. Is there any way out to debug the FM.

Hi,
Can you let me know the download status of your adapter object using txn. R3AM1? If it is DONE, you can trigger another initial load.
The inbound queue formation on CRM is governed by USE_IN_QUEUE field of table CRMRFCPAR on the ECC for your adapter object. It should be set to X. So in case there's a specific entry for your adapter object in CRMRFCPAR, just check it.
If this setting is already maintained you should see a queue name like R3AI_<objectName> in SMQ2 of CRM. Of course you'd need to deregister the R3AI* queue in txn. SMQR.
Thanks,
Rohit

adapters are components of the adapter engine, their main action is to connect different sysems with each other. therefore are different adapters:
SAP-2-SAP Adapters: like IDoc and RFC
SAP-2-NOT-SAP-ADapters: like JMS, JDBC, HTTP..
and B2B Adapters...

Block size in middleware adapter object

Hi
Am trying to download customers from ECC to CRM.
If the block size is set to 1 in CUSTOMER_MAIN adapter object, and if i download a request (R3AR4) with a range of 20,000 (say 1,00,000 to 1,20,000) this request gets downloaded fine. The same happens for block size 3.
But if i try with block size 100 and increase the range to 20,000+ , the CRM system comes down. It gets into an infinite loop i think. Then i require to restart the CRM system.
Has anyone come across such a situation or someone can suggest whats going wrong?
Thanks for your help in anticipation.
Karthik

Hi,
Did you try with the block size of 1000? This is the standard value. Give a try

Adapter object for table smorelation

hi experts,
do you know the use of table smorelation? i can not see any data in that table in crm.
is it used by BP hierarchy? if yes then which adapter object to be used to download data in this table?
any help will be reqrded.
thanks,
sagar.

Hi Prabhu,
Suppose customer specific (Y & Z) Transaction/Sales-Document types and customer specific item categories are created in CRM or ECC. These cannot be downloaded via any(initial, delta n synchronization) of the downloads. We have to do this manually as there is no standard adapter object available for these.
So as the item category determination. It should be done manually.
In ECC Item category determination, we need sales document type (say ZOR) and item category (say ZTAN). These will not be replicated or downloaded to CRM.
So we need to create them manually in CRM and also the item category determination should be done manually.
If any sales-document-type / Transaction-Type or item category is created newly in ECC/CRM in production environment, item category determination should be done manually in ECC and CRM for those newly created ones after creating them in CRM and ECC.

What is Adapter Metadata in Adapter Objects

Hi All,
Q1) What is Adapter Metadata in Adapter Objects in IR ??
Q2) What is Communication Channel Template ???
Wxplain me the Purposes
Regards
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
excuse me for my delayed reply.
We can use Integration Scenario from Integration Repository as a template for generating configuration Objects. It takes you through the configuration process, step-by-step. The objects required for the configuration are created and existing objects are checked to ensure that they can be used before including them in a scenario. The relevant objects are predominantly created automatically. The whole process is logged so that you have a good overview and can analyze and understand the configuration.
So Integration Scenario helps you to generate Configuration objects in ID. The configuration wizard that is already there is different might be both the intensions are same.
>>Here I am Saying We can have all those If we Use Configuration Wizard
yes u are exactly correct
But by importing Integration Scenario from IR you will get Integration Scenario Configurator which will embed all the templates and actions included in IR will be generated.
Hope this time you are clarified.

Error while transfering condition adapter object

In ERP I created new condition table A940 that uses also VKBUR (sales office). On CRM side I did all the steps according to Note 674538 - Copying conditions for sales office VKBUR into CRM.
When I ran object DNL_CUST_CNDALL everything was transfered ok and in CRM condition table CNCCRMPRCUS940 was created succesfully.
Next I created new adapter object to transfer entries of table 940 from ERP to CRM as copy of one of standard objects. But when I run it the load finishes with error in SMQ2 wirh the error Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
Any hints?

Hello Robert,
Note 1301829 should solve the issue.
thanks

Adapter Object Marketing Planner

Hi Forum,
I have an issue with the Marketing planner transfer to R/3 Project systems.
Is there a way to find the Table details of the source and target for an adapter object crm_mktpl_r3int.
I have created the site types, subscription objects and all the customization for integration in both CRM and R3 as well as PS also. But now when I run the initial load it says no table found for data exchange
When I go to r3ac1 and check the adapter object for marketing planner there are no tables defined for the source and destination. I am confused because in R3AC3 there are too many tables for different objects of marketing planner and campaigns.
Is there a way to find the Table details of the source and target for an adapter object crm_mktpl_r3int.
Are the tables cgpl_project (source) and PRPS (target) correct
Regards,
Amit

Hi Raj,
In my opinion these are intermediate table since I checked them and they are still empty. I had already released 4 campaigns so if these were the initial tables to start with then all those 4 campaigns should have been here.
The direction of CRM_MKTPL_R3MAP table is from crm to r3 so it is source table and it shud have those 4 campaigns.
The direction of cgpl_r3_attribut is R/3 to crm so it is the target destination. so it will receive at the r3 end.
On the other hand cgpl_project has all the entries so I have used it as a source and PRPS as target But still the queue is in wait status.
If you have this scenario configured plz check in r3ac1.
Regards,
Amit

Can I copy MATERIAL adapter object and create new business object in R3AC1

Hi experts,
I need to copy MATERIAL adapter object and create a new business object R3AC1.
Please let me know whether this is feasible.
Thanks & Regards,
Keya

Usually when there is a need to change/create an adapter object, I suggest to change object class to CUSTOMIZING in R3AC1. Then save it and call transaction R3AC3. There do necessary changes and afterwards switch back to original object class. There is no copy functionality for adapter objects. Kindly use transaction R3AC3 to create a new adapter object and maintain all tabs according to your requirements. When you are finished, kindly change the object class "CUSTOMIZING" to the original class name you're copying and the new adapter object will be visible in R3AC1.

Adapter object for Item Category Determination

Hi All,
Could please anyone let me know the adapter object for Synchronizing Item Category determination from R/3 to CRM.
I could get the object for synchronizing the Item category determination from CRM to CDB and it is "CRM_DNL_IT_ASSG'.
Thanks in advance.

Hashed Adapter Object

In designing my code I am trying to avoid multiple if else/switch statements. I have been looking at differing design patterns, and I have come across the Hashed Adapter Object. The key can be used to lookup the correct value object without having to do multiple if else or case statements. I am curious if this approach can have drawbacks if the hashtable gets significantly large. For example, will the instantiation of the hashtable require too much time or memory when the size is greater than a 1000? Is there a better design pattern to use to avoid the if else/switch statements when doing a lookup?

If you are talking about putting objects that implement a common interface as values in the hashtable and looking them up based on a key, that's basically a simple form of the Strategy pattern.
Putting an object in a hashtable merely means putting a reference to an existing object in the table. A handful of bytes for each mapping. 1000 mappings is nothing. If you are wrapping primitives and placing them in the hashtable, that will consume more memory (mitigated in newer versions of the JDK if you use valueOf()) but it's still minuscule compared to the commonly available memory for Java applications. 1000 isn't much even in memory constrained environments. Hashtables are also very fast. Adding lots of elements will not (in general) make access significantly slower.
Lastly, make sure you use HashMap and not Hashtable.

CRM - Modifying block size of Adapter Object (R3AC1)

Hi,
We have differences between SAP R/3 and CRM systems. Not all the business parters are in sync between two systems. In order to bring business parter tables in sync, we are executing R3AR2/R3AR4 for a range of 10,000 BPs at a time.
My question is, we are doing this by with the block size of adapter object BUPA_MAIN to 1. This is resulting into creation of 1 queue per business parter. Is there any harm with keeping the block size to 1 ?
We attempted to do it with block size 100 but for some reason, it's not working fine. With block size 100, not all the BPs from input range are getting selected for replication.
Thanks,
Amol

Hi Amol - For the MATERIAL ADAPTER we are using MARA-MTART criteria, but also want to apply MARC-WERKS.
In order to stop the entire MATERIAL record from being downloaded, we used BTE OPEN_FI_PERFORM_CRM0_200_P and wrote a function module to interrogate the MARC table for the MATNR.
If the MATNR was not extended to a specific PLANT, then the record was not downloaded to CRM.
However, I discovered that with the MATERIAL BLKSIZE = 100, there were some records that did not meet the criteria slipping through to CRM.
So I made the BLKSIZE = 1, and the correct filtering is occurring! I'm not sure why, but I suspect there is something in the CRS_SEND_TO_SERVER function module in ECC, that is not looping properly. And it works just fine when there is just one record at a time.

Middleware and Adapter Object help needed

Hi all,
We are trying to replicate business agreements from CRM to contract accounts in our R/3 IS-U system. We've followed the various cookbooks and guidelines but have so far been unsuccessful. For object BUAG_MAIN, is an adapter object needed? If so, we are unable to find one in R3AC1.
If we check the BDoc message, we are getting two Technical errors after creating the business agreement:
1. "Outbound call for BDoc type BUAG_MAIN to adapter module CRM_UPLOAD_TO_OLTP failed."
2. "Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS"
Any ideas? Points will be awarded for helpful responses. Thanks in advance.

So in R3AC1 there is a button to show inactive adapter objects. Hitting this showed BUAG_MAIN. After that, we opened BUAG_MAIN and activated the object. This resulted in a couple of changes that we clicked through. We then were able to do an initial load of the business agreements and replications of newly created ones happened thereafter.

How to find the right customizing adapter object for a R3 table?

I customized a document type ZCRM in the R/3. Now i want to do the synch load for document types using R3AS to see if it goes to the CRM system.
When i check TR VOV8 in R/3 customizing, i see that table TVAK is used in R/3 to store my document type ZCRM
Then i try to find out, to which customizing adapter object table TVAK belongs. It is described in course TCRM20 Unit 9: I check table SMOFTABLES in the CRM system using TR SE16 and search in the column R3TABNAME for tablename TVAK. But it isn´t there...
What am i doing wrong? How can i transfer my document type?
Thank you

Thanks - you are right - document types/transaction types and item categories cannot be transfered at all
I just transfered customizing adapter object DNL_CUST_PRICE because R/3 table T052 (payment terms) is included in this adapter object. I customized payment term ZCRM in R/3. A check shows a green light. Now i want to check in which table in CRM my payment terms landed?
Table T052 does not seem to exist in CRM.
A detail insight in adapter object DNL_CUST_PRICE by transaction R3AC3 to check the target table in CRM shows an empty column 'Mapping structure target site'. Where could i look?
Thank you
