ALE Audit - ALE logical system

Dear all,
we encounter an issue with an integration workflow that sends an ALE audit back to the R/3 system (Scenario:
R/3 -IDOC-> |XI-BPE| -HTTP->Partner)
Everything works fine except the ALE audit from the process to the R/3 System.
In the receiver agreement we use a header mapping to map the Sender.
Is there any difference between usual IDOC posting (for which our config works of course) and ALE Audit IDOCs?
Thanks in advance,
Helge

Hi Helge,
if you're using BPM in the XI
this is what you could to:
create a new processing code for inbound aleaudits
and change a little the standard function module
for inbound ale audits (the only change
would be a table in which you'd map
BPM names to just on partner profile)
this way if you'd be using a new BPM
you will only have to add one record to the table
and the processing will always be done correctly
with just one partner profile

michal

In ale client and logical system

Hi,
do we need to assing logical system to client in ale configuration.
thanks,
Jigar

Hi,
Yes, you need to define and assign logical system for ALE client.
Path: SALE -> Basic Settings -> Logical Systems -> Define Logical System
Path: SALE -> Basic Settings -> Logical Systems -> Assign Logical System to Client

ALE logical system to client

Hi,
Is assignment of SAP logical system to client mandatory...
I understand that we can give dummy names like SAP_A as logical systems but is it mandatory to assign them to clients..
I think Idoc can be sent to the respective SAP system through ports instead of a particular LS

this client assignment to logical system is about your sending system.
the steps for ALE config are following only:
1) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Basic Settings > Logical systems > Define Logical System
2) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes > Logistics > Logistics <-> External Systems > External Transportation Planning Systems > Maintain ALE Port Definition (Transaction WE21)
3) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Global Organizational Units > Cross-System Company Codes (Transaction OB72, SALE, OBB5)
4) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views (Transaction BD64)
5) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes > Logistics > Master Data Distribution > Proposal for distribution model: Customer and vendor masters (Transaction WYL2)
6) IMG > SAP NetWeaver > Application Server > IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) > Modelling and Implementing Business Processes > Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes > Logistics > Logistics <-> External Systems > External Transportation Planning Systems > Maintain ALE Partner Profiles (Transaction WE20)

Local logical system is not defined

Hello
We are trying to setup a logical system - created or defined the logical system
when we try the BD64 it gives out the error "Local Logical system not defined"
I am using ECC 6 version
IS there any way to bypass and do the setup ?

HI Anil,
Best Methodology for creating a RFC Destination that also includes setting up Logical System is:
Use Transaction -> SALE /b]
1) Define Logical system :
Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Logical System -> Define Logical System

2) Assign Client to Logical system:
Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Logical System -> Assign Logical System to Client
3) Create RFC Destination: T-CODE (SM59)
Select Idoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Basic Setting -> Communication -> Create Rfc Connection
Follow steps in sequence. Hope it answers every thing.
Cheers,

What is logical system?

Hi all,
What is the logical system name? Is it the same "source system name"? It shows when I try to create a R3 datasource in BW. Thank you.
Thank you for everyone who answered my questions before. I assigned the points to you and didn't get chance to email for thank you.
Koala

Hi!
You need to maintain basic settigs for ALE for this
and what do you want to see...
you can see the logical system names available in any sap system under.In SPRO ->
SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Web Application Server ® IDoc Interface / Application Link Enabling (ALE) ® Basic Settings ® Cross-Application Components ® Distribution (ALE) ® Basic Settings ® Logical Systems

Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system

Hello,
file adapter > XI 3.0 > Idoc adapter > r/3 system
In sxmb_moni I receive "Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system".
In we05 in r/3 system no Idocs are arrving. I have no problem with idoc > XI > idoc scenario to this same r/3 system (using same sld business system)
I read other topics on this error but it seems they all talk about an IDOC outbound interface.
What should I check?
Thanks

ALE logical systems for business service or process

Hi,
I am trying to send an IDOC into my R/3 system. It is the same IDOC type that I have sucessfully sent out to parties. All the config is in place for communicating with the system, because I have sent others IDOCs in the past. However, they always were sent from another R/3 business system. They processed sucessfully.
I am now trying to sending IDOC's from a BPM,as well as, from a business service. They are under the "With Party" section of the directory. These obviously do not have logical systems, so when I try to send the IDOC I get
"Unable to convert the sender service Purchase_Orders to an ALE logical system", where purchase_Orders being the name of the business serice.
How can I handle this problem?
Should I hard code values somewhere?
Which ones?
I have read the other posts for the error above, but my situation seems to be different.
Help!
Chris

Hi,
To solve your problem, here my solution:
1/ In your Business Process of your ID (configurator), go to menu "Service > Adapter-specific identifier" and in the part "IDoc Adapter", write your Logical System.
2/ Create this Logical System on your target system (R/3).
WARNING: XI allows you to used a Logical System for only one service (Business Process). Thus, if you are several interfaces, you must used different Logical Systems.

Why do we create logical systems in ALE?

Hi All,
i got this question in interview.
Why do we create logical systems in ALE?
Thanks & Regards
suresh

Hi
In addition to above .
A logical system is used to identify an individual client in a system, for ALE communication between SAP systems. That's why you see a field for 'logical system' in the client master data in SCC4 (table T000).

Logical systems in ALE iDoc

Hi,
For exchanging data between two systems(not between two clients of the same system) using ALE iDoc , logical systems should be maintained in both the systems?
For eg: there are two systems, system A and system B.
i have maintained the logical systems as SYSA (for system A) and SYSB ( for system B) in the system A using the transaction 'SALE'. Should this need to be maintained in system B also?
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya.

Hi,
In both the systems you have to Define the Logical systems,
but in you assign only one to the client,
i.e. in system A you assign the Logical Sytem of of A to the Client in SALE
transaction the same goes for B.
and you don't need to create a distribution model for both the systems,
you can create it in one system and send it to the other system.

Samson Rodrigues.

Unable to Convert Sender Service to an ALE Logical system

Hi,
I am doing a simple SOAP -> PI 7.11 -> IDOC scenario. All objects are created and activated. In testing I get an error
Unable to convert the sender service TemporaryDisconnection_Sender to an ALE logical system
Sender is a Business Service.
I search SDN and found this blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/xi-error--unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system
I did the Compare with SLD for the Business System. But still the error comes.
In mapping I Disable EDI_DC40 segment.
Also find one suggestion which tells to change the Header Mapping in Receiver Agreement, what exactly should I put in Sender Communication Component of the Header mapping?
Thank you,
Pankaj.

Hi,
In this thread I could find a solution by Michal: Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system
3. click on sender service (header mapping section) and select your business system that represents XI business system
Will try if it works for me also.
If there are any suggestions, then please do post.
Thank you,
Pankaj.

ALE logical system - File -- XI -- R/3 scenario

Hi
I have the following scenario which I'm trying to run.
File --> XI --> R/3 scenario.
I have created a sender agreement XID|ASN_out|NBD where XID is my XI 3.0 system and NBD is my R/3 system. I have also created an interface determination and receiver determination.
The following error is in transaction SXMB_MONI in my XID system:
"Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system"
Both XID and NBD are business systems defined in SLD and they have both a logical system assigned.
Why do I get this error and how can I fix it?
Best regards

Ok. I fixed the problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
what you did is correct but you don't have the authorization for cross-clients in your sever.First take the authorization for cross-clients then follw the steps

Setup of ALE Audit in SAP Receiver System

Hello,
for a scenario JDBC -> XI -> IDoc, I have to setup ALE Audit in the receiver SAP sytem.
I have followed the steps in the How-To-Guide (Handle acknowledgements for IDocs):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f6d2d790-0201-0010-9382-b50b499b3fbe
However I just want to have acknowledgements sent back to SAP XI for a specific type of IDoc (source coming from the database) and not all received IDocs as there are different sender systems sending IDocs (some of them via XI some of them directly).
Is there a way to configure ALE Audit in a way ALEAUDITs are sent just for specific sender systems / IDoc types. I want to avoid that the SAP XI system receives ALEAUDIT for all inbound IDocs.

Hey,
This document describe how the handle audit the the sender and the receiver systems are SAP system, when one of the sides (sender/receiver) is not SAP system,
than the configuration become much more complex.
As of XI SP18, there are ways to control ALEAUD,
for more information, read:

Receiver service ??? cannot be converted into an ALE logical system

Hi,
I am hoping for some help with an Idoc issue in XI version 3.0. The scenario is like this:
Flat file->File adapter->XI->Idoc adapter->R/3
I have configured a scenario in one system like this that works fine. But in the current system I am getting the error message "Receiver service ??? cannot be converted into an ALE logical system" from the Idoc adapter.
As it is XI 3.0, I have set the Agency and Scheme in the destination communication channel to <Service>, ALE#LS and in the destination party, I have created a alternative identifier <Service>, ALE#LS, SYSCLNT200.
I have configured an ALE logical system name in the SLD.
I have cleared the SLD cache in the integration builder.
The ALE logical system name was not in the SLD when the message first appeared, but I thought clearing the cache would fix that. I have not tried deleting the service and re creating it. That is my next step....if all else fails.
Not sure what else I haven't tried.
Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks Sam Raju for the reply.
On your questions:
1. I checked IDX1 - port for the receiving R/3 is defined as SAPIR1_300 (port: SAPIR1 and Client: 300) and it is mapped to RFC destination of IR1300.
2. Checked RFC destination IR1300 - it is setup as R/3 connection and checked test connection and remote login and both are working fine
3. Checked IDX5 - did find one message (status is successful) corresponding to the file I am sending into R/3 and this entry is an Outbound entry.
Question: Should there be two entries here in IDX5 - one for inbound and the other for outbound?
May be I am doing something wrong here in setting up the interface mapping and endpoints. Anyway when I check the IDOCOutbound in the Soap Header, I see the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:IDocOutbound xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/exchange/MessageFormat/">
<SAP:TABNAM>EDI_DC40</SAP:TABNAM>
<SAP:MANDT>100</SAP:MANDT>
<SAP:DOCNUM>0000000000008002</SAP:DOCNUM>
<SAP:DIRECT>2</SAP:DIRECT>
<SAP:IDOCTYP>FLIGHT_SAVEREPLICA01</SAP:IDOCTYP>
<SAP:MESTYP>FLIGHT_SAVEREPLICA</SAP:MESTYP>
<SAP:SNDPOR>SAPBXI</SAP:SNDPOR>
<SAP:SNDPRN>PRISM</SAP:SNDPRN>
<SAP:SNDPRT>LS</SAP:SNDPRT>
<SAP:RCVPOR>SAPIR1</SAP:RCVPOR>
<SAP:RCVPRN>IR1CLNT300</SAP:RCVPRN>
<SAP:RCVPRT>LS</SAP:RCVPRT>
</SAP:IDocOutbound>
Do you see anything wrong or missing here. SNDPOR is XI port, SNDPRN is the source partner (file) and RCV... information is all the receiving R/3.
I am suspecting that something is missing either here or in the endpoint setup.
Also, in the TechnicalRouting I have this:
- <SAP:address version="20">
<SAP:systemKey>IR1CLNT300</SAP:systemKey>
<SAP:endpointType>IDOC</SAP:endpointType>
<SAP:url>IDOC://SAPIR1?RFCDEST=IR1300&DOCREL=&VERSION=3&SAPREL=46C</SAP:url>
</SAP:address>
Any issues you see here in url?
Also, when I look on the XI server, I do not see these files deposited anywhere- so they are going somewhere (as the status in IDX5 is successful)!
Do I need to activate any queues or triggers anywhere.
Can you please offer advice and help us out.
Thanks again.
