Question

Hi Everybody,
Greetings!!!
I am new for XI, pls help me to sort out the queries given below:
1. Can u all help me out for step by step procedure to be followed for BAPI to File Scenario. (Guide me all configuration step to be performed in R/3 & XI)
2. Also, pls tell me how to configure BAPI in ALE (I am using BAPI_GOODMVT_CREATE)
3. Also, guide me in Value mapping in XI. (Eg: if the value is A then it should call BAPI_GOODMVT_CREATE, if the value is D then it should call BAPI_GOODMVT_DELETE and if it is U then BAPI_GOODMVT_CHANGE) - Give me code if it is necessary in case of JAVA mapping.

Hi Guru,
<i>Can u all help me out for step by step procedure to be followed for BAPI to File Scenario. (Guide me all configuration step to be performed in R/3 & XI)</i>
1) Go to transaction sm59.
2) Give some name.
3) Connection type TCP/IP.
4) Activation Type Registered Server Program.
5) Give some programid. You have to use this program id in RFC sender communication channel.
6) In gateway host give the host name of R/3.Give gateway service.
Before testing this connection create a RFC sender communication channel in XI.There specify the parameters like R/3 hostname,program id created above, authorization credentials for R/3 etc.Then activate the communication channel.Then test your TCP/IP connection in R/3. You have to test connection only after you create RFC CC in XI because it will go and check for the program id in XI.
You will need to schedule a JOB in your R3 system that will call the RFC during every time perdiod.

Your requirement can be easily met using the Extended Reciever determination that we have...
Here actually based on condition from the message in the payload u can assign your receivers..
Below is the steps to do the same...
Under Receiver Determination --> Configured Receivers --> Specify the 2 receivers and beside the same you have an option called condition, there you specify the condition on which it has to go to the first system and then the condition on which it has to go to the second system.
When you click on the codition it will open another window (Condition Editor window) under which you have a Left Operand which when you click will open up another window(Expression Editor window), there for your need you check on the XPath radio button and then click on the field whose value you wanna check from the structure that it displays, when you click on the field it fills in the XPath Expression, then click ok.
After that it takes you back to the previous window(Condition Editor window) with the Left Operand having the XPath Expression, so all you will have to do is to fill the Right Operand which is nothing but the value you want that field to contain.(For Example if a field "A" that you have selected which comes in the XPath Expression in ur Left Operand,has a value "1" in your Right Operand)
There you also have an option to put in an "and" or an "or" condition if required(For Example if you wanna check if "A" and "B" is satisfied or it you wanna check if "A" or "B" is satisfied, this can also be done)
I also suggest u to go through these blogs..

If you have any doubts or clarifications on the same, please do ask and i will tell you how to proceed.
