ALE Audit System

Does ALE audit system work between a non-sap sending system and SAP as receiving system. If yes, then how is the "audit table" and "audit analysis program" step taken care of?

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

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:

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

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 Audit

Hi All,
Please give me ur inputs on this scenario:
Scenario: FileXI- ECC - Data from File is converted to various IDocs and posted in SAP. (No BPM used)
Problem: Exception Handling > > We want a message back from SAP system telling us that out of 100 IDocs that were sent, n were posted successfully and rest failed along with the error description. How can this be achieved?
Possible Solution 1: Along with the IDocs a proxy is also sent to the SAP from XI. Proxy has a wait time and collects following information:
No: of IDocs posted successfully,
No of IDocs Failed and there reason.
And then an email has to be sent using Alert Message to the process head with the above information.
Possible Solution 2: ALE AUDIT is used on the receiver SAP system and the error messages are sent to XI and the messages are collected in another interface in XI and subsequent Alert Management is used to shoot email.
Which solution is better and why?
Regards,
XIer

Hey
>>Problem: Exception Handling > > We want a message back from SAP system telling us that out of 100 IDocs that were sent, n were posted successfully and rest failed along with the error description. How can this be achieved?
For this you need to use BPM coz File can't handle sync calls.
As far as i know,in both the cases you need to use BPM.
Note:ALEAUDIT is mainly used in a IDOC to IDOC scenario or IDOC to File scenario
Thanx

Maintaining distribution model for ALE audit.

hi,
I have to create a bcakground job in the receiver system to periodically send back the audit data to the sender system. To do the same i need to maintain a distribution model for ALe audit. For doing so i don't have the modal view XIDEMO in BD64. How to implement. Also in SM59 while maintaing RFC destination it says U6D_700 no longer exists. Please suggest how to get it resolved.
Regards
Akash SInha
Edited by: Akash Sinha on Dec 16, 2009 9:59 AM

Hello,
You can create your own model view in BD64. In the model view add message type ALEAUD with sender as your system name and logical system of your reciever.
Also configure the Partner profile in WE20, with outbound parameter ALEAUD and IDoc Type ALEAUD01.
Schedule the program RBDSTATE with the required parameters.

Ale audit steps

Hi,
Can anybody please explain ale audit steps.
1. i am sending idocs from send1 rece1. how i can i know the status of outbound idocs using ale audit
i want to know the process behinds this.

Hi Sudhakar..
ALE Audit Steps:
In the Sender system:
1. In the Model view (BD64) : Add the Message type ALEAUD
Note: Sender and Receiver has to be reverse..
Distribute the Model view to the Receiver system.
2. Audit data can be confirmed periodically back to the sending system, you have to use the program RBDSTATE to specify a variant and schedule a background job in the receiving system

Problem while sending back ALE audit Idoc

Hi,
I have a scenario in which an idoc is send from R/3 system to file service using XI. Here we have used BPM, in which Integraion process is the receiver of the idoc and then it is send to file system using file adapter. All the business services and Integration processess are created under Party. We expect XI would send implicit ALE audit Idocs to sender R/3 system.
I have created a communication channel pointing to sender R/3 system. After maintaining everything also it is throwing an error saying that unable to convert sender service to an idoc partner or ALE logical system.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

Hi,
I have maintained adapter specific parameters for my integration process and those parameters are corresponding to sender business system parameters. As i told, i am using party and corresponding identifiers. My idoc is coming and successfully transmitted to file system but only problem is with acknowledgement that need to reach sender R/3 system.
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

Setting up ALE AUDIT between XI and R#.

Hi Experts ,
I have a scenerio here. I know most of you will be asking me to google and search SDN blogs for the same , but let me tell you , I have already gone through most of them , specially the HOW TO manuals.
Mine is a R3 to XI to Web scenerio.
Initial rquirement is, R3 will trigger a delivery Idoc, and, if it reaches XI and failes in mapping do to any reason , it will trigger back to R3 the ALE AUDIT idoc. I have gone through the documents, but I cant make out how to I connect the failure of mapping of the specific idoc information , and tigger the ALE AUDIT idoc back to R3.
Can any one help me out with the scenerio, I just am unable to visualise the scenerio.
I have medium level experience in ALE idoc settings .
Regards,
Arnab.

There is no standard way to send ALE IDOC back to SAP R3 if mapping fails in middleware.
But this can be handled through BPM.I am not sure if you are from XI background or R3 background
The BPM design looks like this,
Receive( IDOCs from R3 ) -
> Block step ( Inside block Mapping-> If mapping success>.Send to Target application
If mapping Fails(System Error)>Mapping (MAP ALE IDOC with respective details)->Send IDOC to R3 system.
Hope thsi helps

Executing RBDSTATE for ALE-Audit Processing

Hi Experts,
when I execute RBDSTATE into my Z_Function for BOMMAT Inbound Processing, it doesn't find any IDoc for the ALE-Audit Processing :
"No data relevant to audit were selected."
Any idea ?
Regards,
David

Hi Gordon,
I've decided to create another Distribution Model, only for ALEAUD (why ? I don't know...).
Now the IDoc ALEAUD is created into the Target System, but with Status is 02 "Could not find code page for receiving system".

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.

How to implement an audit system to track ADF applications DML activity?

We have implemented a complete audit system for one of our databases in order to keep history for every table and every value that has been modified.
The solution that we currently have can be split into two discrete parts:
1. Keeping a record of all connections to the db account
This is achieved via a table ‘user_sessions’ into which we record data for every session in the database with the help of on-logon and on-logoff triggers and some PL/SQL procedures:
Column name        | Explanation
-------------------|-------------------------------------------
US_ID              | PK, based on a sequence
SESSION_ID         | sys_context('USERENV' ,'SESSIONID')
USER_NAME          | sys_context('USERENV' ,'OS_USER')
LOGON_TIME         | when the on-logon trigger fires
LOGOFF_TIME        | when the on-logoff trigger fires
USER_SCHEMA        | sys_context('USERENV' ,'SESSION_USER')
IP_ADDRESS         | sys_context('USERENV' ,'IP_ADDRESS')
us_id |session_id |user_name|user_sschema|ip_address|logon_time               |logoff_time
560066|8498062       |BOB      |ABD         |1.1.1.2   |14-SEP-06 03.51.52.000000|14-SEP-06 03.52.30.000000
560065|8498061       |ALICE    |ABC         |1.1.1.1   |14-SEP-06 02.45.31.000000|14-SEP-06 04.22.43.0000002. Keeping the history of every change of data made by a given user
For every table in the account there is a corresponding history table with all of the columns of the original table plus columns to denote the type of the operation (Insert, Delete, Update), start and end time of validity for this record (createtime, retiretime) and us_id (which points to the user_sessions table).
The original table has triggers, which fire if there is an insert, update or delete and they insert the data into the corresponding history table. For every record inserted into a history table the us_id taken from the user_sessions table is recorded as well, allowing us to determine who has modified what data via the combination of these two tables.
Below is an example of a table TASKS, the history related triggers and the history table TASKS_HIST.
At the moment we are developing new applications by using ADF. Since there is an Application Module Pool and Database Connection Pool implemented for the ADF, one connection to the database could be used by several users at different moments of time. In that case the history records will point to a database session logged into the user_sessions table, but we will not know who actually modified the data.
Could you, please, give us a suggestion, how we can know at any moment of time who (which of our users currently making use of an ADF application) is using a given database connection?
By way of an example of the problem we are facing, here is how we solved the same problem posed by the use of Oracle Forms applications.
When the user starts to work with a given Forms application, user_sessions table would attempt to record the relevant information about he user, but since the db session was created by the application server, would in actual fact record the username and ip address of the application server itself.
The problem was easy to solve due to the fact that there is no connection pooling and when a user opens their browser to work with Forms applications, a db connection is opened for the duration of their session (until they close their browser window).
In that case, the moment when the user is authenticated (they log in), there is a PL/SQL procedure called from the login Form, which updates the record in the user_sessions table with the real login name and ip address of the user.

Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked the site that you mentioned.
I try the sample “demo with bundle. The sample worked.
But it needed to start separately with the application.
I do not know how to build a help system with the existed web application developed with Jdeveloper (It has two projects: model and user-view-control. It is deployed on Oracle Application server).
Could you help me step by step to build the help system?

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.

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.
