ALE: Sending IDOC inbound from non-SAP system

Hi
How does one need to setup the SAP system to accept data from an external non-SAP system. Should one setup some sort of conection to trigger an import to SAP?

Hi,
On the SAP side you need to create a partner profile in T.code: WE20 of type LS. And add the message type, idoc type in the inbound parameters section of it.
And you must also specify the partner number you created here, on the IDoc control record.
This link from SAP help, will provide some addition data.

Hope this helps.

IDOC's sending to XI from NON-SAP system

I need to send one IDOC from a NON-SAP sytem to XI. In my scenario I've configured a receiver IDOC adapter with the suitables RFC destination and Port for the SAP R/3 receiver system. We achieve this sending by using the following URL: "http://:/sap/xi/engine?type=entry" but we don´t get any message in XI. We don´t know if we are doing it properly.
Could you help me?
Thank you in advance.
Juan Pablo.

Hi Juan,
Did you try the HTTP client tool that Michal gaves you?
Attention: the URL address that this tool or any other client who wants send messages via XI with http is: http://<our-server>:<http-port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry and not -> http://<our-server>:<our-port>/sap/xi
This URL must be set on the pipeline of XI Business System (role-> Integration Server) as well on integration server configuration.
If you have http port and adapter_plain service (sifc) running it should be working!!!
Open your browser and put the Integration Engine URL http://<our-server>:<http-port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
If its running you should be see this soap message:

Sending IDoc from Non-SAP system to XI

Dear all,
We have a non sap system which needs to send IDoc to XI, Please could you answer my following four questions
1. What should be the values for the following fields in the IDoc control record
e.g. RCVPRN = <logical system name of XI>
SNDPOR
SNDPRT
SNDPRN
RCVPRT
RCVPOR
2. How does XI decide which port(idx1) to be used when it receives an idoc
3. The third party system is a non sap one, so it does not have a client no, so I would assume, I need to use another SAP system as a meta data provider, in that case, how would i tell XI to use that port when it receives IDocs from the non-SAP system ?
4. In what step does XI use the logical system name of the Business system(in SLD)?
Thanks in advance
cheers

Hi
there is bit wrong interpretation of the statement
If the sender system is a non-SAP system, the sender service is identified from the logical system name of the sender port.
If the sender system is nonSAP it indicates taht the data is coming to XI from non sap systems such as file, database, webservice etc. to XI and from XI it will pass to sap as IDOC inbound.
For this you need to create the logical system in SAP (receiver) and pass on that value to IDOC header.
You could maintain it in the Business service used for Sender system (nonSAP). here it will be available in the tabs ---> History.
note : IDOC is the concept of data container in SAP, you will not be able to have the IDOCs in non sap systems...
Thanks

Receiving IDocs from non-SAP system ...

Hello guys,
I have problem with implementing IDoc-XI-IDoc scenario. The sender system is a subsystem (non-SAP system) sending IDocs but XI is not able to receive them. I thing the IDoc metadata can not be found.
Logical system name of the sender is IF6020DEV. I registered the system in SLD. In Integration Directory I imported the Bussines System IF6020DEV to my scenario and I created communication channel of type Sender IDoc Adapter in it.
In IDX2 I created new port called IF6020DEV and I copied needed metadata into the port. But it doesn't work. Probably I don't do it right because I'm beginner with SAP XI.
Could you give me any advice how to configure XI for receiving IDocs from non-SAP system?
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Zbynek

Thank you very much. The issue described in refered discussion is almost same issue what I'm solving. Unfortunetally the described solution dosn't work for me.
The sender system still returns following error. I know you probably won't understand it because you don't know the subsystem, but maybe you could get some idea what is wrong.

How we can import an IDOC structure from one SAP system to another w/o ALE

Hi Gurus,
How we can import an IDOC structure from one SAP system to another? we're not able to use ALE tech, these two sap systems are isolated.
Any response will be awarded!
Thanks a lot.
Samson

hi,
1.One is by change pointer concept i.e by executing the RBDMIDOC.We can generate the idoc and automatically to the inbound System.
2.By executable program also like bd10 and bd11.

Call rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems

Hi,
is ist possible to connect to an rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems? I want to use the the RFC-Connector from http://rfcconnector.com, but in the client connect options there is no way to specify the program id.
Best regards,
Daniel

hi,
you don't need to use RFC type T (with program ID) - you can use whole connection string - just like in the example:
http://www.rfcconnector.com/documentation/examples/client/#functioncall
so just specify: host system number etc.
it should work like that - but let me know as I don't know this RFC connector

Triggering SAP workflow from non-SAP system

I am trying to use WF-XML to trigger a workflow in SAP from non-SAP system.
I have already created a workflow template in SAP and want to test the scenario if this will be really hit by the incoming xml message.
Questions:
1. How the data from incoming xml is tranferred to workflow container element? IF system does it, how is done? If not how to address it?
2. Do we have some tool here, to simulate this situation - to create a test xml incoming message with SAP and really see if that triggers the desired workflow template. Pupose is testing the scenario first in SAP and then going to the other system to test the real interface.
This is somewhat similar that we see in incoming IDoc. In Idoc we can simulate the incoming IDoc structure and test.
Is any one here who can guide on this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

Hi,
You don't need a triggering event. In the xml it says which workflow should be started. You don't need a class to fill the container. The service does this.
I think there is a way to generate an example xml but I don't know exactly how. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> there are some examples of the documents. Check also the entry above it about the creation of a WF_XML document. In the first and third example it shows a container element and its value (QUESTION).
Try to get a copy of the book "Practical workflow for SAP" by Alan Rickayzen. It has got a part about this.
Also check this link from the SAPHelp:

How we can import an IDOC structure from one SAP system to another

Hi Gurus,
How we can import an IDOC structure from one SAP system to another? If we're using ALE, how can we do that? Please can someone give me the process and necessary t codes.
Any response will be awarded!
Thanks a lot.
Samson

hi!
Define the logical system names in both the systems.
Logical system names :SAP001
SAP002
SAP001 FOR 001 CLIENT
SAP002 FOR 002 CLIENT
These two logical system definitions should be present in both the systems.
Assign the logical systems to the client. (in both the systems)
Assign SAP001 to 001 CLIENT
Assign SAP002 to 002 CLIENT
you can See these in transaction SALE.
After this define the rfc DESTINATION IN sm59. (in both the systems)
In 001 client create the RFC destination name SAP002
In the tab log on security, give the user name and password and client of the 002 client and save it.
Similarly do the reverse in the 002 Client.
In 001 client create the port.(Transaction WE21)
Specify the RFC destination name as SAP002.
Now you can define the ports, (both the systems)
Create the partner profile for partner(ie gve logical system name of partner) , so give as SAP002.
partner profile in both the systems.
Now create the distribution model in BD64 and goto edit>model view>distribute.
The same model view will be visible n distributed to the partner system also..which in this case is sap002.
U may trigger the idoc from we19 and chk its status in we05.
Please let me know if you need further info on this.

Uploading data from non sap system to sap system

hi to all experts,
my requirement is to upload data into the sap system from non sap system . the data is in a flat file ,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system. How to upload the data into sap system ....

hi,
the data is in a flat file,but the problem is that in the flat file all the field lengths and fields are not in order or same as sap system.
If the data is in excel sheet use this FM.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                      = P_FILE
      I_BEGIN_COL                   = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW                   = 1
      I_END_COL                     = 17
      I_END_ROW                     = 3000
    TABLES
      INTERN                        = itab
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS       = 1
UPLOAD_OLE                    = 2
OTHERS                        = 3
It will read the data from excel sheet column wise and then store it in ITAB. you can change the order after reading the file.
In case of Text file use FM GUI_UPLOAD.
You can change the order of the fileds after reading it from file, but the length and all you have to make compatible to SAP standard fields.

Sachin

BAPI for calling Z transaction From NON-SAP system

hi all, am new to BAPI i want to know that can we call any standard or Z transaction from NON-SAP system using BAPI if yes then plz let me know how.???
thanx...

BAPI's are not used for calling transactions. They have the same result though, a business partner for example kan be created, and maintained via the GUI, but it can also be done via a BAPI. These BAPI's are created for calling them from (non-) SAP systems since they are remote enabled. However, this means that the calling application / party will have to 'build' some sort of application themselves in order to call these BAPI's from 'outside' of the SAP system.
The calling application will have to have access to the system, which can be maintained in the remote destination transaction SM59.
But enough of this, there are lots and lots of posts on SDN about BAPI's, remote destination etc.

File Transfer from non-SAP System.

Hi Experts,
We have the requirement to copy/transfer file from non-SAP system to SAP system file server. Can we use these FMs FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND and FTP_DISCONNECT?
or can we also use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE?
Thanks,
Edson

Hi Varma,
Thanks. I'm looking at the FTP_COMMAND FM. If I got it right the 'command' parameter here should be the OS level commands? Example would be cp <file path from source> <file folder of destination> for unix. ?
Thanks again,
Edson

Problem in Fetching data using RFC FM from NON SAP system

Hi All,
Need help from experts on data transfer using RFC from a non SAP system/database. I have creasted the destination in sm59.
I have created a function module too which has an import parameter as a query and export parameter as an internal table.
No when i test run this function module it returns some entries. But when I call this FM in a program it throws a dump 'rfc_external_abort' . Here is what the call to FM looks like in my program. Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Saket.

Hi,
your question..
DATA : lv_query TYPE string,
it_gddbdata TYPE ZC9_TAB_SOLMAN_XI_RFC.
lv_query = 'SELECT * FROM GDDB.VW_GDDB_PERSONS WHERE LASTNAME = ''''A'''''.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_C9_SOLMAN_XI_GDDBCON'
DESTINATION 'D39'
EXPORTING
in_sql_query = lv_query
IMPORTING
ET_GDDB_DATA = it_gddbdata
you are telling that you are fetching the data from non sap system using RFC function module.. how it is possible..you canot fetch the data from non SAP system using RFC FM alone.. you have to use the concept BAPI.. it will work..
I hope this will help you..

SWCV still contains IDocs/RFCs from an SAP system

Hi
I have imported Idoc to a SWCV. Now am trying to create one more namespace under it. When I try to create another namespace, it automatically selects the check button Import of Idoc and RFC interfaces from SAP systems permitted. If I select not permitted and try to create namespace it gives me this message
Unable to save object XYZ , 1.0 of ABC
Indicator cannot be undone since the software component version still contains IDocs/RFCs from an SAP system
Delete the objects first.
Is it possible for me to create another namespace under a SWCV, to which I have already imported Idoc, by selecting the option " Not permitted ". I want to create another namespace and I don't want to select that option as I have already imported Idoc

Hi,
You no need to touch that check box, you can still create the namespace under software component.
Just double click lick on software component, goto edit mode and click on + symbol to insert namespace and save then activate.
Note:- As you have already imported the RFC and IDoc under your software component(not namspace as you mentioned), you keep that check box import of RFC and IDocs permitted. Dont try to uncheck that.
thanks,
madhu

What ATP category to use when loading from non SAP system

Hi Experts,
We are sourcing transactional data from SAP R/3 and using CIF to transfer these data to APO.
Now we have new sets of material locations where we are going to source transcational data from non-SAP system. We are going to extract file from non-SAP system and load it to APO. My question is, do I need to create new categories (non SAP categories) for all these transactional data (sales order, production order, purchase order, etc...) Or can I just use existing SAP categories that are getting populated when data are coming from R/3 through CIF.
If its possible, can I use RLCDELETE to delete previously posted transactional data? because we are planning to do full refresh and reload everyday.
Appreciate your help. Thanks
Regards,
Mylene

Hi My lene,
If i undersood your question correctly, you are trying to upload transaction data into APO system using file interface.
You can use custom or standard ATP categories to upload any type of transaction data and deletion of those orders also possible for both the ATP categories using RLCDLETE report (except salesorder and fixed planned orders, they can be deleted by SDORDER_DEL & DELETE_PP_OREDER reports respectively).
Custome categoires will be used in case additional data needs to get stored in APO system along with the standard transaction data coming from ECC system . For example, salesorders coming from ECC and uploaded from file.
If the transaction data coming from only one source system then it is better to use standard categories.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh
