ALE Settings for IDOC

Hi,
For configuration of IDOC adapter
1) we need to create RFC Desination both XI System and R3 System.For port creation if v given same port name in both XI system and R3 system it will work or not ?
2) On Receiver SAP system, we need to configure the logical system normally for XI system, were v can find logical system of XI System.
3) Can RFC Destination b same on both systems( R3 system, XI System)
Regards,
Praveen

Hi
The following configurations are needed for Idoc scenarios
1) ECC Configuration : a) Create RFC connections from ECC to XI in SM59. rfc connection name should be target XI logical system name . BD54 or SALE are the tcodes for checking the logical system for respective client.
                                   b) Create port in we21 & provide the above RFC destination.
                                   c) Now Create Partner Profile in we20 ...partner profile name should be target logical system name.
                                        assign the outbound parameters with receiver port created in we21.
2) XI Configuration : a) Create a RFC connection for XI to ECC ...rfc name should be target logical system name(ecc).
                                  b) Create port in IDX1...it should be SAPXXX..where XXX is the ecc system id.
                                  c) Import the idoc metadata in IDX2.
For Outbound idocs generate the model view in BD64.

Doubt regarding ALE SETTINGS in IDOC scenario.

Hi Friends,
        I have some doubts regarding ALE settings for IDOC scenarios, can anyone please clarify my doubts.
For exmaple take IDOC to FILE scenario
The knowledge i got from SDN is --
One need to do at the R3 side is --- RFC DESTINATION (SM59) for the XI system.
                                                   --- TRFC PORT for sending IDOC to the XI system
                                                   --- CREATING LOGICAL SYSTEM
                                                   --- CREATING PARTNER PROFILE
               at the XI side is --- RFC Destination ( For SAP sender system)
                                       --- CREATING PORT for receiving IDOC from the SAP sending system(IDX1).
1. Do we create two logical systems for both Sender ( R3 system ) and Receiver( XI system ) in R3 system itself or in XI system or in both systems we create these logical systems? Is this a mandatory step in doing ALE configurations?
In IDOC to IDOC scenario-------
2. Do we craete two RFC destinations in XI system? One RFC DESTINATION for the Sender R3 system and another RFC DESTINATION for the Receiver R3 System? and do we create RFC DESTINATION for the XI system in receiver R3 system? If not.....y we don't create like this........Please give me some clarity on this.............
3. If we use IDOC adapter ,since IDOC adapter resides on the ABAP STACK ,we don't need sender communication channel ,for the similar reason----
y we r creating receiver communication channel in the case of FILE to IDOC scenario?
4. Can any one please provide me the ALE settings for IDOC to FILE scenario,
                                                                                FILE to IDOC scenario,
IDOC to IDOC scenario individually.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
1. Yes, we create two logical systems for both Sender ( R3 system ) and Receiver( XI system ) in R3 system itself and
it is a mandatory step in doing ALE configurations
2. We create 1 RFC destination each in R3 and XI.
    R3 RFC destination points to Xi and
    XI RFC destination points to R3
3 We need to create Communication Channel for Idoc receiver as the receiver channel is always required but sender may not be necessary
4. ALE settings for all IDOC scenarios are same as follows....
Steps for ALE settings:-
Steps for XI
Step 1)
     Goto SM59.
     Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).
     Give a suitable name and description.
     Give the Ip address of the R3 system.
     Give the system number.
     Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).
     Go to the logon security tab.
     Give the lang, client, username and password.
     Test connection and remote logon.
Step 2)
     Goto IDX1.
     Create a new port.
     Give the port name.
     Give the client number for the R3 system.
     Select the created Rfc Destination.
Step 3)
     Goto IDX2
     Create a new Meta data.
     Give the Idoc type.
     Select the created port.
Steps for R3.
Step 1)
     Goto SM59.
     Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).
     Give a suitable name and description.
     Give the Ip address of the XI system.
     Give the system number.
     Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).
     Go to the logon security tab.
     Give the lang, client, username and password.
     Test connection and remote logon.
Step 2)
     Goto WE21.
     Create a port under transactional RFC.(R3->XI)
     Designate the RFC destination created in prev step.
Step 3)
     Goto SALE.
     Basic settings->Logical Systems->Define logical system.
     Create two logical systems(one for XI and the other for R3)
     Basic settings->Logical Systems->Assign logical system.
     Assign the R3 logical system to respective client.
Step 4)
     Goto WE20.
     Partner type LS.
     Create two partner profile(one for XI the other for R3).
     Give the outbound or inbound message type based on the direction.
Step 5)
     Goto WE19
     Give the basic type and execute.
     fill in the required fields.
     Goto IDOC->edit control records.
     Give the following values.(Receiver port,partner no.,part type and sender Partner no. and type)
     Click outbound processing.
Step 6)
     Go to SM58
     if there are any messages then there is some error in execution.
     Goto WE02.
     Check the status of the IDOC.
     Goto WE47.
     TO decode the status code.
Step 7)
     Not mandatory.
     Goto BD64.
     Click on Create model view.
     Add message type.
BD87 to check the status of IDOC.
In case if not authorized then go to the target system and check in SU53, see for the missing object
and assign it to the user.
SAP r3
sm59(status check)(no message)
WE02(status check)
WE05(status check)
BD87(status check)
Xi
IDx5(Idoc check)
SU53(authorization check)

Hi,
For IDOC to IDOC scenario what are the settings we have to in R3 System other than XI configuration settings.
What are setting for both sender and receiver side.
Thanks,

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)

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.
Try this..Hope this will help.
Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
Generate outbound partner profiles;
Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)
Important Transaction Codes:

RSARFCEX - Execute Calls Not Yet Executed
RBDMOIND - Status Conversion with Successful tRFC Execution
RBDMANIN - Start error handling for non-posted IDocs
RBDSTATE - Send Audit Confirmations
FOr testing you can use WE19.
You can directly create an iDoc using some transaction like...
Use TCODE bd10 - to Send Data
and TCODE bd11 - to Get Data
and you can check the IDoc List using TCODE we02.
As you want step by step procedure.
1. Define Logical System and Assign Logical System
TCODE sale
2. Define RFC
TCODE sm59
3. Define Port
TCODE we21
4. Define Partner Profile
TCODE we20
5. Define Distribution Model
TCODE bd64
6. Send Data

Error : Pre Settings for IDoc inbound processing are missing error

Hi Experts,
There is a CRM job which executes LSMW and I am facing a strange problem during the IDOC posting the error "Pre Settings for IDoc inbound processing are missing error". Can anyone please tell me how to correct this error?
Thanks in advance.
Madhurima.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Settings for IDoc Processing Maintain Partner Profile Manually

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to maintain a partner profile for IDoc Outbound Processing in CRM7.0. The Partner Type is LS (Logical System).
Now, when I'm creating an Outbound Parameter and want to save, I get an Error Message that the field package size must be > 0.
The problem is, that there is no field Package Size. In older systems there is such a field under the field receiver port.
Anyone any idea where is the missing field or another solution.
Thanks and regards,
Sebastian
PROBLEM SOLVED !!
When you get the error message, press enter several times and the field appears. Incredible.... but true.

Hi,
Steps to do ALE Configuration with respect to IDOC:
Configuration in R/3:
1. Create a RFC destination using Transaction = SM59
2. Create the ports using we21 and refer the port to the created RFC dest in above Step.
3. Create a Logical System using Transaction BD54.
4. Create a partner profile using transaction WE20.
Also need to configure in XI:
1. Create a RFC destination using Transaction = SM59
2. Create the ports using Transaction IDX1 and refer the port to the created RFC dest in above Step.
3. The port has to be displayed in the IDX2 transaction and we should be able to view the idocs which we imported through integration repository otherwise we have to manually import the idocs from IDX2 using the port created above
Also refer to the link below for further details:

ALE settings for MIRO outbound IDOC

PLz tell Output Type, Process Code etc...for MIRO outbound.
for inbound i am using INVOIC01..
Thanks and regards

Hi madan,
u can use the transaction NACE to find out the output type of MIRO.
If u know the function module u can able to find the process code easily.
Since function module names are based on message types.

Settings for Idoc Creation on Transaction

Hi ,
what setting we need to do to ensure that whenever a Sales Order (or any tcode) is created via transaction Idocs are created.
Are there any settings required to be done in the Output Types (System->Services-Output Types)?
How to proceed for this.. wuld appreciate if someone gan give a clear and detailed steps to achieve the same.
Thanks,

Hi ,
If you wish to trigger a idoc on save for any SAP transaction.
1). First setup the ALE linkages between the sending system and receiving system
2). Create a custom output type for medium type 6 which is for EDI.
3). Assign the std SAP program RSNASTED and FORM routine EDI_PROCESSING ( Through tcode NACE --> Output types). If you are using a custom program define the custom program name in this setting.
4). Maintain condition record for the transaction. This can be done through NACE. Select the application and select Condition records. Maintain the condition record for your output type created in step 2.
5). Run the SAP transaction and see if the output types gets proposed.
Hope this helps. This is just in brief. The best option would be to follow a std SAP config already available in your system.
Cheers

XI and R/3 System connection settings for IDOC to File scenerio.

Hi SAP champs,
I am working on a IDOC to File XI scenerio. But I am confused while configuring connection settings at XI system and R/3 system. I am finding problem in transaction IDX2 to maintain the IDOC metadata. Please let me know the complete step by step system cofigurations in XI and R/3 systems for the scenerio. Thanks in advance..
Regards
Sanjeev.

Hi Sanjeev,
We upload Medata in IDX2 to just reduce runtime effort and hence to improve the performance. However it is not a mandetory step to be performed for R/3 TO XI scenario.
You are confused just because here you dont find any F4 help to select the metadata and the PORT.
Thanks

I have 2 business systems in sld which will be referring to the two r/3 systems.
suppose bus_system1 has logical system name as logsys1 for server1
suppose bus_system2 has logical system name as logsys2 for server2
in we20 for server1 and server2 what logical system name is to be included for the partner profile .(is it the XI server name with receiver port leading to the xi server)?
here there are 3 systems participating in the transfer of data and i am a bit confused . Please help.
Regards,
Shrita.

Hi Shitra,
On the service marketplace there is a nice how-to-guide
(http://servie.sap.com/nw-howtoguides => Exchange Infrastructure => How To Sample IDOC Scenarios within XI 3.0) that explains every step you must go thru.
So you could use this how-to-guide as reference.
PS.: The guide "How to configure the IDOC Adapter" (same place) is also worth reading)

Port Settings for IDoc Adapter

Hi All,
Our scenario is like this ERP -> XI -> File. ERP sends IDoc to XI. I have a couple of questions.
1. In the control part of an IDoc, there's a sender partner number and sender port. What are they used for? As I understand, the partner and port represent the destination of the IDoc instead of the source. Why is there sender port and partner?
2. We need to maintain port using IDX1. Should I set the name of the port to be the same as the sender port of the IDoc?
3. I didn't configure the scenario and the IDoc sender adapter. If the ERP system sends IDoc to XI, can I find it in t-code IDX5?
Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
1. Sender Partner and Port : The control record should have sender port and partner number. This will be used by the receiver system (i.e., XI system). Because, receiver system should know from which system this IDoc is coming using Sender Partner number. This partner number should be same as Logical system name in Sender Business system which is configured in SLD.
The sender port should be SAP<Sys-id of sender system>
and sender partner number should be <sys-id of sender>CLNT<client number of sender>
2. The port created in IDX1 will be used for importing IDoc's metadata in XI system from R/3. IDoc metadata is needed by IDoc adapter to convert incoming IDoc to IDoc-XML format.
It is mandatory to have same name for Port in IDX1 and sender port of the IDoc's control record.
3. I think the IDoc wont be listed in IDX5 if scenario and IDoc adapter are not configured. IDX5 displays inbound and outbound IDocs in the IDoc adapter.
Regards,
Uma
