ALE, Idocs question.

Hi everybody,
If I have a ECC instance installed on a machine (M1) and a Netweaver with abap stack on other machine (M2). Can I communicate them via Idocs? My question is because I do not know if a have all the ALE-Idocs functionality on the Netweaver machine M2.
Thanks in advance.

The idea is a ECC running on a netwaeaver (M1) and a standalone netweaver (M2).
Thanks for your answer.

    Hi guys,
    I must thank every one of you for sending such quick and helpful responses. I bought the book "ALE, EDI and IDOC" from Aravind Nagpal and its a great book for beginner as well as for an expert. I have started practising ALE my PC by logging into 2 clients and it is working fine. I was able to send and receive the IDOC.
    Thank you again.
    This is a great forum,
    Cheers,
    Mahesh.

  • ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

    Hi,
    we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
    Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
    My question is:
    We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
    It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
    Best regards,
    Steven

    Hi Abhishek,
      This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna  maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ajay,
    Any question related to ALE Idocs should be posted in the Data Transfers section. Not here.
    People who are experts in that topic would be monitoring the posts over there. Not here.
    Also, Your subject should be appropriate and meaningful so that it drags the attention of the forum members to answer you.
    Coming to your question, I think when you are defining the clients you cant maintain the same value for the two clients. You need to connect the systems of different clients and so the configuration done in SALE transaction.
    Thanks,

  • GL Posting ALE IDOC - To be send as File

    Hello,
    It is possible to send GL Posting from SAP HR system to another system as a file.
    Option is that I am looking through Standard ALE whether we can create a GL Posting document file which will be transferred thru FTP file to client system.
    Question ALE IDoc provide that option to create a file based GL Posting file.?

    Deepan,
    In simple terms, ALE uses IDoc for carry data from one SAP system to another. If you just need a file (not in IDOC format), I would suggest you to check if there are standard reports that give you that data and download them.
    If not, you could write your custom program to generate and download the required data and download (on PC or app server).
    Regards,
    Shyam

  • PO vendor partner role through ALE/IDOCs

    We have ALE/IDOC interface with vendor. The requirement is PO will be sent to the ordering vendor and invoice should be received with PI vendor. We are using stardard message types for purchase order (outbound) and INVOIC (inbound).
    Could you please guide me on how to set up partner profile in WE20? Do I need to define both the vendors as partner? and what partner function should I select in inbound and outbound for both the vendor? Any other settings is required?
    Thanks in Advance
    Sagar

    Hi,
    The earlier answer was to your this question
    Could you please guide me on how to set up partner profile in WE20?
    Now to set up the partner function follow as below
    In Spro>Purchasing>partner determination >first define the partner roles , role VN for vendor,role PI for invoicing party and OA ordering address are standard available then
    Define permissible roles per Vendor A/C group ..based on account group of vendor you need to define a perticular partner role is permitted
    Go to define partner schmeas for vendor master >select L1 vendor>partner functions in procedure>here you check your roles are available there 2 check boxes if you wnat a perticular role mandatory in vendor master you can check mandatory and if you want an option of changing the partner you can make it changable , better to make these two roles mandatory and OA changable
    Go to assign partner schemas for vendor master assign L1 for your vendor a/c group
    Then go to partner settings in purchasing document define partner schema select std.po >function in procedure>check roles VN,PI,OA
    Select no change mandatory and higher level for all three
    Go to assign schemas for docuemt>assign 0002 for document type in question

    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
    exceptions
    connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
    connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
    others = 3.
    call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    clsid = g_c_clsid
    typelib = g_c_typelib
    importing
    instid = g_f_oid
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.
    call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
    exporting
    %instid = g_f_oid
    %method = 'UpdatePDF'
    sntemp = g_v_const_filent
    snsysid = sy-sysid
    snflag = 'N'
    tables
    rssaptable = g_t_pdfdetail1
    %return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
    exceptions
    communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
    system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
    invalid_instance_id = 3
    others = 4.
    then close the com session , using
    FM delete_com_instance
    FM END_COM_SESSION

  • ALE/IDoc: About changed and new funcitons in Release 6.40

    Hi,
    I'm not good at ALE/IDoc, but I have one question about the Release Notes for Basis component(Release 6.40).
    (cf: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ec/f23442d692ad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
    In the above document, in the category of "Effects on System Administration", on 3rd line,
    "Newly created segments cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such"
    I cannnot understand 2 points about this sentence.
    The 1st is that "Newly created segments" means the segments I created by myself ? or the ones that were created after release 6.40? Which is correct?
    The 2nd is what's the meaning of "cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such" ?
    Once I created some segments, it is prohibited from customizing or changing them?
    If you have some ideas or answers, please help me.
    Best Regards,
    Dai

    Hi,
    What I understand from the document is the segments created after release 6.40 by SAP cannot be enhanced because the segments are already released.
    The custom segments can be enhanced before release.

  • 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

    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.
