BAPI to file

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario in which i have to integrate SAP EH&S and MDM through XI.
For extraction purposes i'm using a BAPI which will extract the substance data based on a substance id. This data is then sent to a xml file in MDM.
My query is, in XI should i use the BPM for acknowledgment purpose or can i do it without it?
It would help if you gave some tips as to how to go about my scenario.
Thanks and regards,
Merrilly

Hi Mathew,
If acknowledgement is not your requirement then you dont need that. You can do a simple RFC-XI-File scenario.

Unable to generate WebService Client with Exported (BAPI) WSDL file from XI

Hi there,
I, trying to setup a simple Web Service environment where I'll be exposing a BAPI as Web Service via XI.
So these are the steps I followed:
1) first I imported the BAPI meta data into my SWC in the repository. 2) Second I defined my interrface etc.. 3) Third I exported the generated BAPI WSDL file. 4) Fourth, I tried to generate a Java proxy/client for my Web Service using a Java IDE (IBM WebSphere Application Developer and XML Spy).
Now the problem is that Im not able to generate the Web Service client using the exported WSDL file, the WSDL seems not to be valid...From the generated errors in the IDE, I can see that the problem has to do somewhere/somehow with the WSDL Binding element, which input parameters do not match the input parameters of the port type.
This is a small part of the WSDL file as generated by XI:
 <wsdl:message name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Input">
 <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
 </wsdl:message>
 <wsdl:message name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Output">
 <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Response" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"/>
 </wsdl:message>
 <wsdl:portType name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.PortType">
 <wsdl:operation name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS">
 <wsdl:input message="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Input"/>
 <wsdl:output message="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.Output"/>
 </wsdl:operation>
 </wsdl:portType>
 <wsdl:binding name="BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.SAPBinding" type="s0:BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS.PortType" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
 <s0:binding style="rfc"/>
Has anyone faced a situation like this before? Any clues where to look? I appreciate any feedback, thanks!
Rob.

Hi Rob!
I'm facing the same problem - how did you solve your issue then? I'm getting following error during generation on .NET side:
============================================================================================
Error: There was an error processing 'http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl'.
- The document at the url http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl
was not recognized as a known document type.
The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:
- Report from 'DISCO Document' is 'Discovery document at the URL http://server/wsdl/MIAMI_ACCDOCPost.wsdl could not be found.'.
- The document format is not recognized (the content type is 'content/unknown').
- Report from 'WSDL Document' is 'There is an error in XML document (2, 70138).'.
- Value cannot be null.

Problem in mapping-BAPI to file.

Hi all,
I am working on an bapi to file scenerio.My requirement is 2 files need to created in the target ,
First file has the payload and its name(filename) needs to hav message id.
Second file is a catalog file which only holds the name of the first file(Howmany ever file are reaching target,this file wil hav names of all those files.).
I have used multi mapping wherein for the first structure i hav done dynamic configuration to generate filename and its wrking fine.
For the second stucture (has only 1 field for passing filename)i wrote following UDF and mapped it
String constant;
java.util.Map map;
map = container.getTransformationParameters();
constant = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
String fileName = constant + ".txt";
return constant;
but now output of the second file is empty ie the filenames of the first file is not present in it.
Please help as its very urget.

heyy...thanks for that, but that was a typing mistake..problem is elsewhere, i had tested by mapping that field to a constant, even then no value was present in output.
My structure looks like below.
Messages
   Message1
      mt_abcd
.        field1
         field2
         field3
   Message2
      mt_abcd2
         filename
Message1 and message2 are 2 separate files in output.
Message1's output is correctly generated.But for message2 no output atall.

BAPI to File Scenario

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.
I will appreciate you for quick response and solve my probs.
Regards/Guru

Hi Guru,
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)
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.
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.
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..
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2005/08/03/xpath-to-show-the-path-multiple-receivers
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination
If you have any doubts or clarifications on the same, please do ask and i will tell you how to proceed.

I just need to know the file format which should be specified in the specify file.
can anyone give the fields and length that i should create in the excel file or notepad?
Points will be awarded.
Regardss,
Vinoth.

Hi,
Field should be ordered as per the source structure of your own.
In header you can have unique data (strictly) and one more file of item whch will be having correpsonding data for header records.
Length is as per the Data Element.

BAPI to FILE scenario - PRASHA

Dear Expertise,
Our requirement is sending a request(which contains a primary key like "UserName") to RFC in R/3 system. In R/3 system
depending upon the primary key i.e., "UserName" it must fetch the data and send the data to XI system which should infact
save it to a file.(R/3 system has the data in its table)
For that we are using "https:///people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit" blog as ref...
But we are unable to get the data from R/3 system to XI as file. We are getting the same file data which we are sending.
Could some one send the scenario's exported file to us ASAP...
or you can send the concerned docs or links to my personal email ID : [email protected]
Plz help us..

Dear Moorthy,
Thanks for ur quick response... appreciated your work..
The Scenario which you got is absolutely correct and fulfills our requirement.
We have followed the same thing as you mentioned in the blog,
The question raises from this statement
1) Is the BAPI response structure is filled from R/3 or are you getting this response to XI ? Check this in SXMB_MONI ..
We are unable to get the Payload in the Response message. (in SXMB_MONI).
Can some one send us the scenarios exported file , so that we can double check with our scenario .
Advance thanks.

File - BAPI - File Synchronous scenario

Hi all,
I am working on a 'flat file--> BAPI --> flat file' scenario. This is a synchronous scenario in which data from input flat file will be sent to BAPI on R/3 side and from the response of BAPI a flat file will be created.
Is it possible to implement this scenario without using BPM ?
Thanks.

Hi Minal,
For this, you hv to use BPM
The BPM procee will look like this
1. Receive step (Receive the data from file)
2. Sync send to R/3 and get a response
3. Async send (response) to File
Check the following link

File to RFC (create Project Def in R# using data from XML file)

I configured the scenario as follows:
Step 1.
Created data type and message type suitable for file data.
Createtd async outbound message interface
Defined message mapping between Messge type defined and BAPI
Defined Interface mapping between Message interface & BAPI
Definf file sender communicational & RFC receiver communicational
and completed the rest of configuration id and activated all.
File is being read successfully but Project creation is not happening.
error "no sender or receiver interface definition " shown in SXMB_MONI.

Hi Seshagiri,
it is not cleare to me where to look for Service Simulation active or not.
In SICF "/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/net200_otr_d1 " against it is showing that Service Reference(active)
again I tested.
error is still comming.
Error different at different times. However the most frequent error is as follows:
When payload is not given
"Interface Mapping ... (109 lines) "
Any further suggestion please?

please provide the better solution for this issue
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I am internally place my file in the PI and pick up the file from PI and posted to end directories

Multiple BAPI calls in RFC Adapter

Hi, Dear Friends!
I have asynchronous scenario File to RFC(BAPI).
File contains raws. For each raw I need to execute BAPI.
With the help of each raw I need to construct one document in R/3 database with the help of BAPI.
But now my scenario provide only one document (only one BAPI is executed).
I read file to xml structure. This structure contains elements. The elements represent raws of file. But BAPI is executed only for the first element.
How to explain to XI that I want it impement BAPI N times - as number of raws in file (or elements in xml structure).
So how to implement multiple BAPI calls. Have you any idea?
Thank you in advance.
Natalia Maslova.

WLDL files exported from XI 2.0 not valid for Web Service Clients

Hi there,
Im struggling for almost a week with a BAPI WSDL file exported from the XI repository. My scenario is very simple; A BAPI in R/3 exposed as web service through XI using the SOAP adapter.
The intention was to generate a Web Service Client based on this WSDL file, unfortunately I get all kind of errors when trying to generate the client. (using tools like, SOAPScope, XML Spy and WebSphere Developer Studio none of this tools can validate the generated WSDL file obtained from XI)
Can someone Please explain me how/what exaclty do I have to do in order to expose my BAPI as Web Service in XI 2.0? Or Please tell me if this is just impossible in this version of XI.
Thanks a lot!
Rob.

Hi Rob,
It seems that when exporting to a WSDL file from the Repository, <service> and <binding> are missing from the structure.
A way to work this out is to either add them maually, or to create the WSDL from the Directory, using the Create End Point as Webservice in the Tools menu.
When you do that, consider a couple of things:
1. The message interface, by which you create the wsdl should be inbound. The message interface in the scenario should be outbound.
2. In the binding section, the produced url is of the intergration server, and you need to change it to that defined in the SOAP adapter configuration.
Hope this helps.
