ALE settings in SAP R3

Hi People
In IDoc to File Scenario
I need some info about R3 sys configurations step by step i know what is the procsess
1st we have to create LS (Tcode : SALE)
2nd we have to create RFC destination (TC : sm59)
3rd we have to create PORT (TC : we21)
4th we have to create PP (TC : we20)
5th we have to create DISTRIBUTION MODEL (TC : bd64)
i know this steps But i want step by step in that what we have ti give in LS , RFCDS, PORT, PP, DM
and how it process internally, what details we have to give in all configurations in that above transactions

Hi,
Follow below steps to create custom IDOC.
1.Create segments through transaction WE31.
2.Create IDoc Type through transaction WE30 by attaching created segments.
3.Message type through transaction WE81.
4.Link Idoc and message type in WE82 transaction.
Check the transaction WEDI for ALE settings
Check these links for more details on IDoc's:

Idocs are not prosessing even after ALE settings in SAP XI and ECC

Hi Experts!,
<b>I have a system which has SAP ECC and SAP XI 3.0 installed with 2 instances on the same operating system. ( In MMC you can see ECC and XI under the same SAP console tree ).
I have made many times all possible ALE settings between ECC and XI and I was unable to deliver the IDOC [ Idoc scenario- unable to get the IDOC in the receiver side (R3)]
Could any one please let me know how to solve this issue.
Useful answers will be rewarded.
</b>
Thanks in advance!,
Sunil

Hi Martens,
I appreciate your kind reply, error : Unable to convert ALE logical system.., this is the error message I am getting, while I do File to IDOC scenario. So what may be the wrong thing in this configuration, Have done ALE settings ( Log sys, assign log sys, partner profile, port and RFC connection from R3 to XI).
So could you please let me know the solution.

How to check the ALE settings in SAP

Hello everybody,
I have a question about ALE setups.
Through ALE,a lot of data flows from one SAP system to another.Hence all these various SAP systems are maintained as logical systems and the appropriate RFC destinations are in place.
1.Now,if I wish to disable some of these recipient SAP systems ,how to go about it?
2.More importantly, I have a list SAP boxes(you can say,recipient logical systems),for which I need to check if they are still active or if they have already been disabled.
Basically,my problem is that I have a number of SAP programs which have got variants maintained ,containing these SAP boxes as partner recipient numbers as part of their variant data.Now,these variants are used to run a lot of batch jobs and I need to verify whether these mentioned partner recipient numbers are still up and active or they have been disabled while the variants never got rectified.
Please let me know as how this complete check can be made.
If any clarification regarding the problem is required,please do not hesitate to ask.
Regards
Papri

Hello Papri,
See below a fast overview for Application Link Enabling settings to check:
1- Are logical systems with which you want to exchange data defined ?
If not, you cannot have a RFC connection to those systems.
2- Do you have RFC R/3 connections for your logical systems (SM59) ?
If not, no transactional RFC port can be created for those RFC connections.
3- Do you have a transactional RFC port for your RFC connections (WE21) ?
If not, no parner profile can be generated for your parner type (Logical System).
4- Do you have a distribution model between systems (BD64) ?
If not, no data exchange via IDoc is possible as no partner profiles LS (WE20) are generated and no model view is distributed.
So, according to your point:
1- only one logical system can be reached by RFC connection. It is not possible for others,
2- that's why you have partner profile not being active,
3- so, RFC connection is no longer active for logical system is this situation.
Just one thing regarding those sentences from your first post:
>(...)
> Basically,my problem is that I have a number of SAP programs which have got variants maintained ,containing these SAP boxes as partner recipient numbers as part of their variant data.
>Now,these variants are used to run a lot of batch jobs and I need to verify whether these mentioned partner recipient numbers are still up and active or they have been disabled while the variants never got rectified.

As those partners (logical systems) are not defined, you should have a DUMP for those jobs.
It is not the case ?

ALE settings in sapR3 system logical system

Hi People
IN IDoc to File scenario
How to create Logical system(ALE settings) in SAP R3 system, i know little bit idea about that, we have to 1st create LS name (for R3 sys & PI sys), after that we have to assign that name's how to assign that, PLS can u provide me to with screen shots (if possible) r any links

Hi,
IDOC
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms942196.aspx
Idoc configuration Required~
in R/3
1) RFC destination pointing to XI
2) WE20 Partner Profile entries
in XI
1) RFC destination pointing to R/3
Go thru this -
configuration steps for receiving idoc in xi from r/3
Go thru these for Idoc to XI scenarios-
/people/prateek.shah/blog/2005/06/08/introduction-to-idoc-xi-file-scenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starters
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/07/27/idocs-multiple-types-collection-in-bpm
These will be the Configurations needed in your R3,
1. SM 59 - Create an RFC destination for your XI .
2. We21 -- Create a port for XI
3. We 20 -- Create a partner profile entry for the Outbound IDOCs for XI.
Configuration on XI
1. IDX2 - Import IDOC metadata.
For eg : Lets assume the R/3 system and Xi system are QZA and X7A.
In XI :
Step 1 : In SALE Tcode :
a)Create Logical systems for R/3 and XI.
EG : (QZACLNT100) and (X7ACLNT100).
b) Assign the logical system of XI to Client.(X7ACLNT100)
Both the above options u can find in SALE transaction under SENDING and RECEIVING SYSTEMS tab
Step 2 : In SM59 create RFC destination in XI pointing to R/3(i.e IP address of R/3) (This RFC Destination name shd be same as the Sender LS name)=> QZACLNT100 is my RFC destination.
Step 3: Create the PORT in XI for the Sender system and assign the RFC destination.
In R/3 :
Step 1:
In SALE Tcode :
a) Create Logical systems for R/3 and XI for
b) Assign the logical system of R/3 to Client.(QZACLNT100)
Step 2 : In SM59 create RFC destination in R/3 pointing to XI(i.e IP address of XI) (This RFC Destination name shd be same as the Receiver LS name)=> X7ACLNT100 is my RFC destination.
Step 3: In SALE Tcode under Modelling and Implementing Bussiness Processes-> maintain Disribution Model and Distribute Views.
a)Click on that ,it shall take to Tcode BD64 ,where u can create a Distribution Model.
b)Once you create that ADD MESSAGE type(You have the button at the top), there it shall ask for Receiver and Sender LS and Message type.
c)In Menu Bar EDIT->Generate Partner Profile.
Click on that and press Execute .
This shall create 2 partner profile X7ACLNT100 and QZACLNT100 ,X7ACLNT100(this is the partner number for QZA system) shall have the outbound parameter as CREMAS, and QZACLNT100 is created with no parameters ,you need not worry .
d) Click EDIT->MODEL VIEW->Distribute.
This shall distribute the model and you can see the distribution mode aslo getting created in XI system.
This configuration shall surely help u out as it worked out for me.
Configurations required for IDocs in R/3
In your XI system, you need to do the following.
1. Create a RFC destination to your R/3 system
2. Create a port in IDX1 of your XI system and use the RFC destination in step1.
3. Try importing a idoc metadata thru idx2 transaction to check whether the configuration is correct.
4. In your SLD configure the technical system and business system. The technical system should hold the logical system name you have in your R/3 system client.
5. Import the business system and you can use it in your configuration scenario.
Please also refer below links for details.

How to use ale/idocs in sap crm to transfer master and transactional data

hi all,
I am working on sap crm7.0 ehp1. I want to transfer my master and transactional data from crm development system to crm quality system here through idocs. I am aware of basic ale settings and successfully transfe the ztable data through idocs. But i am not able to find any proper step by step procedure for maste and transactional data in sap crm. Also sap ecc tcode NACE is not available here.
pls help..
regards,
kavita chaudhary

Kavita,
In CRM, Exchange Interface (XIF) ALE/IDOC is available to transfer master and transaction data. You can go through the following link for set up.

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....

ALE Settings For File-IDOC Scenario

Hi All,
While Doing IDOC-File Scenario we have to do the Following Settings
In XI
1) Create RFC Destination towards R/3
2) Create Port
3) Load Meta data
In R/3
1) Create RFC Destination towards XI
2) Create Port
3) Create PF
Q1) Coming to File-IDOC Scenario do we need to do the Same Settings ????
Q2) In this File-IDCO Scenario do we need to create RFC Destination in R/3 towards XI ????
Clarify me these Confusions
Regards
Bopanna

HI,
for IDOC TO FILE
We need to create the rfc destination at XI side so as to send the acknowledgement to sap r/3 as soon as idoc has been received.This is the reason WHY WE NEED RFC DESTINATION AT XI SIDE

How the ALE settings differ from EDI

Hi
I have observed that the Port, partner profile, distribution model and creating logical system are same for EDI as well as ALE. My doubt over here is on what basis we can differentiate the ALE settings with EDI.
Any help highly appreciated.
Regards
Raj.

the basic difference between ALE and EDI is as follows
Application Link Enabling (ALE)
You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems. ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor). The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12). This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message

Need of ALE settings to connect 4.7 to 5.0 to send IDOc

Hi
I have two servers 4.7 and 5.0 .
Now I want to send Idoc from 4.7 client 800 to 5.0 client 800.
Can anybody provide me the steps to create ALE settings and to send IDOC.
creating logical systems in source and destination and creating RFC and partner profile and port.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
For ALE senerion for sending the material from one system there are three methods are there
1) Executable program only for Master Data
2) Message type Master As well as Transcation Data
2) Change Pointers Master As well as Transcation Data
1) SCC4 Create the Logical systems.
ALG800 for 800
ALG810 for 810
2) Assign the Logical systems to the Client using SCC4> selecting the Client and Double click> maintain the logical system name which you had created in the step 1
3) Main RFC destination SM59---> use the same Logical system name as the Logical system name
log on to 800 and goto SM59 --> create
ALG810 --> provide the 810 logon details and save
test with remote logon...it will open the client 810..
logon to client 810 goto--> sm59 --> create
   ALG800 --> provide the 800 logon details and save
test with remote logon...it will open the client 800..
logon to 800 goto BD64 maintain CDM-->change
create CDM
ZCDM01 CDM
ALG800 sender
ALG810 Reciever
MATMAS Message type
ZCDM01 CDM
ALG810 sender
ALG800 Reciever
MATMAS Message type
save
Environment ---> Generate partner porfile.
edit --> distribute CDM
Logon to 810
goto BD64---> select CDM ZCDM01 ---> Environment ---> Generate Pratner Profile.
Edit --> distribute.
ALE Setting are compleated.
Logon to sender system 800.
create material in MM01
Material   10001
Industry sector mechanical engee
Material Type finished
enter
Base Unit of Measure KG
Weight unit         KG
Gross Weight         100
Net Weight           100
save
Execute BD10 in client 800
Check the Idoc in WE05.
Log on to Client 810
Execute BD11
check the IDOC status in WE05
goto MM03 provide the material numer enter...

INSPECTION PLAN ALE SETTINGS

Hi ,
Its a Migration Project and we have to Transfer all the Inspection Plans from the Old System to a New System.
We are tryin to go by the Idocs Approcach.
But i donnt know the MASS SEND Prog. for the same eg. BD10(RBDSEMAT) for Material , also i am stuck in the ALE Settings too ...
In Outbound Side Distribution Model i have added the following BAPI :
Object name        InspectionPlan
Method name       Create
Object type          BUS1191
Method                CREATE
Description          Create inspection plan
and in the Outbound Partner Profile :
Message Type INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE
Basic type        INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE02
I am also not able to Find the Inbound Process Code for the message type INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE.
Although i guess the Inbound Function Module is IDOC_INPUT_INSPECTIONPLAN_CREA .
Please help me with the issue.
regards
Vikas.

Thanks... but i am still in need of a mass send program ... or can i send the inspection plans via change pointers ?
while creating the entries in BD52 (Change Document Items for Message Type) i am not sure what should be added for this message type (INSPECTIONPLAN_CREATE)?
