ALE/IDOCs query ( shiiping conditions

Hi friends,
 I have one more query on ALEs ...My scenario is like
if we create a PO in one server it has to be convert as SO in another server.Now im getting the idoc status s 51 & the error message is shipping condition 10 is not defined(inboundside).
 shipping condition in outboundside is 10.
 shipping condition in inboundside is ZA.
 All inputs is highly appreciated and I promise to return and reward the answers which helps me indeed here
Thanks in Advance,
Ramu.

Hi Ramu,
You need to convert the shipping conditions....
You could do that by:
- the user-exit in the function of SO IDOC creation
- you create a conversion rule for the IDOC segment for that changes the value according your logic. Use transaction BD62 to create to rule. Use BD79 to implement the conversion.
Hope it helps,
JG

ALE/IDOC Query

Kind suggestion reqd. for
How to see the material in the target system/client sent through ALE/ IDOC from 800 to 810.
Done all the Configuration and sent a material (MATMAS-msg Type) from 800 to 810, 1Master IDOC has been created and 1Communication IDOC has also been created through [BD10]
And the status codes are
03
30
01
But how to see the material in the target system/client 810. Organisational Datas and Enterprise Structure are same in both system and exist in 800 & 810.
Plz. throw some lights on this.
Thanks

Dear Johan,
Thanks for useful input . please tell me the steps to do user exit on function module . Definetly u can solve my issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Ramu.
You could use the user-exits in the function module creates the SO based on the IDOC. Overhere you could program the conversion rule, when all the segments get handled.
- You could use as well : conversion rules:
1. create the rule for the idoc segment (BD62)
2. implement the rule for the field(s) in question (BD79)
3. assign the rule to your IDOC message (BD55)

Hi frnds regarding ale/idoc.

hi all,
can anyone send me good ALE/IDOC links.
it would be helipful fo me.

Hi Sirisha,
ALE
ALE means of creating and operating distributed applications.
Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.
ALE consists of the following layers:
Application services
Distribution services
Communication services

IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
Create Message Type ( WE81 )
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
Creating a Segment
Go to transaction code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
Type the short text
Enter the variable names and data elements
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set Release
Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type
Go to transaction code WE30
Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
Go to transaction code WE81
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter
Click New Entries to create new Message Type
Fill details
Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type

Send Purchase Order via ALE/IDOCS

hi,
How can i send one PO from one client to another via ALE/IDOCS?
Pls provide few important steps.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaurav

For sending IDOC for Purchase order you will use idoc
Message type : ORDERS
Basic Type : ORDERS05
Create one RFC Destination in SM59 and give that entry in Port in WE21.
Create Partner profile in WE20 and Port for receiver system in WE21.
Use your port in Partner profile in WE20.
In Partner Profile create one entry for Message type ORDERS as Outbound.
In your tcode when you are creating Purchase order set output message in your header condition for Outbound to send that purchase order to that Partner Profile.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest

ALE/IDOC material

Hi Experts,
I m new into ALE/IDOC technology and wht to know in depth and Full fledge. plz suggest me some documents.
Thanx in advance

Hi Abdul,
Check this matter.
1)EDI
Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.
Refer
http://www.erpgenie.com/sapedi/index.htm
2) ALE
A means of creating and operating distributed applications.
Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.
ALE consists of the following layers:
Application services
Distribution services
Communication services

http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale.pdf

Check this link ALE and EDI
Types of RFC.
RFC:
Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Synchronous RFC:
The first version of RFC is synchronous RFC (sRFC). This type of RFC executes the function call based on synchronous communication, which means that the systems involved must both be available at the time the call is made.
Transactional RFC (tRFC) and Queued RFC (qRFC). tRFC is used mainly to transfer ALE Intermediate Documents (IDocs).
Transactional RFC:
If an error occurs during a synchronous remote function call, the system cannot tell at what point the error occurred (most crucially, whether the function module was actually processed in R/3 before the operation failed). Restarting a failed call is therefore a dangerous thing to do, since you risk duplicating a completed function call.
To alleviate this problem, you can use transactional RFC, which guarantees that each function call you issue will only be executed once, even if you submit it repeatedly to the R/3 System. The system implements this safeguard by assigning a unique transaction ID (TID) to each transaction that you submit. When you attempt to process the transaction, the system checks whether that TID has already been processed. If it has, the transaction is ignored.
Queued RFC:
When you use transactional RFC, you cannot guarantee the order in which the function calls will be processed in the system (it is quite possible that one call might overtake another). For cases where you need to specify a particular processing order, you can use queued RFC, which is an extension of transactional RFC. In qRFC, you place each function call in a logical queue. A function call cannot be executed until all of its predecessors in the queue have been processed. Queued RFC calls are processed asynchronously
For more information on RFC, please go through the link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5b6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm
In simple words, ALE is used within the organization and EDI is used betn. the business partners.
For eg: in ALE, when you want other branches of your company to have the same data as your main branch. You transport the data through ALE methodology.
Whereas, EDI is used for communication betn ur co. & bank or co. & transport co., etc.
If the other end does not have SAP, then a middle layer like MERCATOR is used to convert SAP data to non-SAP data and vice-versa.
The basic difference is that ALE is the SAP technology for communications and you do not have to depend on 3rd party sofywares for the communication. EDI is the technology which requires you to define/create a sub-system that enables data transfers and these subsystems are 3rd party tools.
THe various types of RFCs used in the technology are
1. Synchronous RFC
2. Asynchronous RFC
3. Transactional RFC (tRFC)
You can refer these links for ALE and EDI.

ALE IDoc Conversion Rule or BADI

Hi,
I'm new to ALE IDoc. I have a requirement to hide some sensitive data field for the HR information when outbound the Idoc.
Example, I need to outbound the IT8 Basic Pay with payscale area etc but not with the basic pay amount. I can convert the basic pay amount to zero when the idoc is being created.
I've searched through some information and found out that there are several ways to achieve it. However, I'm not sure which one is a better way.
Is it using the Conversion Rule (BD62) or using Badi or Idoc Reduction method is better?
Kindly give me some hints as I'm very confuse of which one is the better solution.
Many thanks in advance.

No user exit is needed for conversion rule.
However, you should remember that conversion rules are applied segment fields for a particular message type. So wherever the IDoc message type is used the rule will be applied. If you want to associate the rule for any other condition in addition to message type better to go with a BADI
These are steps to create and apply a conversion rule to a message type:
1. Transaction BD62 - Create conversion rule and assign it to a IDoc segment
2. Transaction BD79 - Define the conversion rule by selecting your field and clicking display button. Once inside you can use various options like set constant to map 0 to the basic pay
3. Finally assign the conversion rule to your message type using BD55
As for BADIs, IDOC_DATA_MAPPER is also suited for your requirement, the method PROCESS, allows you to manipulate your IDoc fields whichever way you want. You get the control record, data records, using which you can restrict your manipulation to specific message type or other conditions
To above post, BADI IDOC_CREATION_CHECK should not be used for mappings/conversions as its specific purpose is to stop creation of an IDoc under required conditions

What is the need of ALE/ IDOC

Hi All,
What is the need of ALE/ IDoc and why we go for ALE?IDOC with conditions
Let me know the answers if anyone have the solution
Regards'
Ramesh

ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)
Ale Technology is SAPs technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
IDocs (Intermediate Documents) are the crux of ALE. These are the documents with the help of which data is exchanged between SAP R/3 and non-R/3 systems. As the name suggests, these documents act as intermediate storage of information, which can be sent bi-directionally. Message types are responsible for creation of Idocs.
IDocs
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Ale/Idocs ..... what is the role of message control

Hi Guy s..
Can Any one.. tell me.. Importance of message control , Stand alone and change pointer s in Ale Idoc''' and where to use...

Hi,
Message Control:
With Message Control is documents are output based on
certain conditions. In ALE scenarios this is basically used for transfer transaction data (fulfilling configuration settings defined in message control) from one system to another system.
Example: If you want to send purchase order IDocs from customer to vendor system using ALE. When saving of purchase order the IDocs should be triggered. Further the IDocs should only be sent when the purchasing document fulfils certain conditions - purchase document of a certain document type only needs to be sent. By output control we can configure the conditions and the timing (when the document should be triggered) and using ALE (as interfacing technology) we can send IDocs (containing application data fulfilling conditions) from one system to another system.
For More Info on Message Control,
/people/gajendra.bhakuni/blog/2007/03/13/message-control-output-control-for-ale
Change Pointers:
Change pointers are the mechanism through which you can send data to another SAP system or external system if there is a change happening to specific fields of master data.
Change Pointer (Master Data Distribution)
Purpose
If you want to distribute master data changes with the SMD tool (Shared Master Data), changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by change pointers ( ® Master Data Distribution).
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
do the following steps for Change pointers ::
1) Tcode BD61---> check the change pointers activated check box
save and goback.
2) Tcode BD50---> check the MATMAS check box save and comeback.
3) Tcode BD51---> goto IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 select the checkbox save and comeback.
4) Tcode BD52---> give message type : matmas press ok button.select all what ever you want and delete remaining fields.
save & come back.
5) 5) go to Tcode MM02 select one material and try to change the description and save it
it will effects the target systems material desciption will also changes
6) goto Tcode SE38 give program Name is : RBDMIDOC and Execute
give Message type : MATMAS and Executte
go through this link which ll give you detail about the change pointer

Monitoring ALE/IDOC

Hi to all,
Can anybody please tell me some examples on monitoring ALE/IDOC.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Monalisa

You can easily and effectively monitor inbound and outbound processing of IDocs using special reports and graphic displays. An agent can also be notified automatically using a workflow if an emergency occurs (active monitoring).
The following tools are available for monitoring:
·        IDoc Display
All the other fields of the control record are available as selection criteria as well as partners and messages
-   IDoc numbers
-   Ports
-   IDoc types
You can display a tree structure of the IDoc directly using the IDoc number. The IDoc list is displayed again if several IDocs are selected.
·        IDoc Statistics
The IDocs are sorted and represented graphically according to predefined status groups. Lists and individual IDocs can be displayed using mouse clicks.
·        IDoc Search
You can select IDocs according to their business content, that is, according to the data contained in the segments.
·         Error and Status Processing
Error and status codes are defined for the IDoc transfer. These codes can be assigned to a workflow task, which informs the agent automatically in a procedure.
The final section explains Active Monitoring.
If you receive IDocs by qRFC, this function can monitor the inbound queue and react to any errors which occur.
Prerequisites
You post inbound IDocs with qRFC.
Features
This monitoring function displays the elements in the inbound queue:
·         Display sender
·         Selected queues
·         IDoc number
·         IDoc status
·         Link to IDoc display
You can make the following changes to a queue:
·         Flag IDocs for deletion
·         Delete IDocs from the queue
·         Start a queue
Activities
Choose Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Monitoring ® Troubleshooting ® Monitor IDoc Inbound Queue (transaction WEINQUEUE), to go to the inbound queue monitoring.
Select the IDocs or queues which you want to monitor, using the specified selection parameters.
If an IDoc in a queue has an error status, select it and go to its detail view with the Display IDoc button, to determine the cause of the error, and resolve it.
If you cannot correct an IDoc with error status, you can delete it from the queue with the Delete IDoc from Queue button.
To edit a queue, select the queue name and choose Start Queue.
If you send IDocs by qRFC, this function can monitor the outbound queue and react to any errors which occur.
Prerequisites
You send IDocs with qRFC.
Features
This monitoring function displays the elements in the outbound queue:
·         Recipient port
·         Selected queues
·         IDoc number
·         Link to IDoc display
You can make the following changes to a queue:
·         Flag IDocs for deletion
·         Delete IDocs from the queue
·         Start a queue
Activities
Choose Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Monitoring ® Troubleshooting ® Monitor IDoc Outbound Queue (transaction WEOUTQUEUE), to go to the outbound queue monitoring.
Select the IDocs or queues which you want to monitor, using the specified selection parameters.
If queue problems occurred in transmission, you can select IDocs and go to their detail view with the Display IDoc button, to determine their status.
You can remove IDocs from the queue with the Delete IDoc from Queue button.
To send a queue, select the queue name and choose Start Queue.
In the IDoc Administration, you can assign a procedure to a workflow task error or status code.
With the Error and Status Processing function, you can check the assignment of the error procedure codes tothe standardtasks, if you have used EDI communication in an earlierversion.
You must also maintain this assignment for your user developments.
Example
Code Type ID                    Description
EDIX   2     TS0008070        ALE/EDI: Syntax error (Outgoing)
Activities
Check whether the assignment matches the table listed below.
1. Choose SAP Menu -> Tools -> IDoc Interface/ALE -> Administration -> Runtime Settings -> Error and Status Processing (transaction WE46).
2. Perform the function. The table must contain the ALE error handling entries listed below:
Code
Task
Description
Type
EDII
TS00008068
ErrorProcInb
2
EDIO
TS00007989
ErrorMessage
2
EDIP
TS60001307
idocpaket
2
EDIX
TS00008070
SynErrorOut
2
EDIY
TS00008074
SynErrorInb
2
EDIM
TS00007988
ErrorMessage
2
The table contains the assignment of the error procedure codes (e.g. EDII) forstandardtasks (e.g. TS00008068).
The procedure type is 2 (work item).
Notes
If you used EDI in an earlier version, standard tasks ofthe old versions are still assigned here for the procedure codes EDII and EDIO. If the new tasks are not entered here, there may be ALE Processing problems.
This report automatically informs the agents responsible if too many incorrect IDocs are found.
Integration
Active monitoring is not used for processing or reimporting of an incorrect IDoc. Exception handling of every incorrect IDoc is responsible for this.
Activities
You plan the report to run regularly with a variant. The variant also informs the report of the status values to be selected: If the critical status contains more IDocs than specified in the critical number of IDocs, a message is sent to a predefined recipient.
The recipient receives the notification in the form of a work item displayed in their Business Workplace. If they execute the work item, the IDoc statistics are displayed with the values determined at the time of evaluation. The agent can display the current status of these IDocs using the Refresh function. The selection criteria which led to the notification are also used for this evaluation.
An important customer orders goods using EDI on working days, between 8am and 6pm. These goods are to be delivered at 4pm the next day. To ensure that the delivery is made on time, the ordered quantity must be recorded by midday on the day of delivery. The active monitoring function is to be used at 8am every morning to determine whether there are any orders which could not be processed automatically. The report, therefore, is started at the same time every day and 0 is selected as the critical number of IDocs. The agent responsible is notified if any incorrect IDocs are found and can then manually process the outstanding orders by midday.
For more information see
Schedule Monitoring Job (example)
Schedule Monitoring Job (Example)
Prerequisites
The following refers to the example in the section Active monitoring . The active monitoring report is to be started as a background job every morning at 8am, to evaluate the IDocs which were received between 8am and 6pm on the previous day.
Procedure
Enter the RSEIDOCA report in the BAP Editor, select Variants, and choose Display.
Give your variant a name and choose Create.
Enter the following parameters:
Recipient type: US (user)
Recipient of notification, for example SMITH
Start time or End time before batch run: 1 Day and 0 Days 14:00:00h
Critical number of IDocs: 0
Status: 51 , 56 and 64
Logical message type: ORDERS
Partner parameter (here sender):
Choose Continue to enter a short text for your variant. Save your entries.
To schedule your job as a background job, choose System ® Services ® Jobs ® Job Definition and enter B (medium priority for periodic jobs) as the job class.
Select Start condition and enter a date and 08:00 as the start time.
Choose Execute job periodically.
Choose Period values ® Daily and save your entries.
Enter the scheduled report again when saving (RSEIDOCA) and the variant that you maintained.
Result
IDocs selected during the daily run of the background job will now be:
Those which were received between 8 am and 6 pm on the previous day
Those which have the logical message type ORDERS
Those received from the relevant customer
An IDoc from status 51 , 56 or 64 must be assigned now to ensure that a notification is sent to the user SMITH.

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.

Error in ALE-IDOC related to HR data posting in ECC 6.0

Hello People,
Upgradation done from 4.6B to ECC 6.0.
Here the data comes from the 3rd part s/w and then gets posted through a Z program which in tern calls SAP standard program " RSEINB00" and FM "IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE" is used in this std program to post the data to the corresponding HR tables through IDOC postings.
ALE-IDOC Z program works fine in 4.6B but gives error in ECC 6.0.
Error in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype Message no. 5-109 Diagnosis An error has occurred in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype .
Procedure
Check the entry for infotype in table T777D (structure, IDoc segment, expanded structure) and the corresponding structures.
As per the error message it seems that some table () needs to be maintained with some values, but this was working fine with the 4.6 B with current settings.
Is this error due to version change to ECC 6.0? What extra settings need to be done with respect to IDOC so that the posting program works fine without giving the stated error. Kindly let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav Joshi.

Please keep in mind ECC 6.0 is an UniCode based system.
as 4.6C was not,
did the Z-program have been tested before in the current environment?
Some special functions (keywords hints ...) are no longer supported after the upgrade.,
this was shown during the upgrade in the unicode migration tools
For sure all the own programms needs to be verfied, after an upgrade.
commonly this should be done
in the quality assurance test to avoid touble in production.
