BC to PI to RFC / RFC to BC scenarios help

Hi
I have a scenarios to work on the Business Connector <> PI <> RFC (R/3) wise versa, I don't have any idea about the BC connectors. Please help on these with your experience and knowledge, like what I need to get from BC side for BC Receiver and BC sender Adapters(PI 7.0).
Thanks
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
SAP Business Connector:
The SAP Business Connector is a middleware product based on webMethods B2B Integration Server. It allows you to integrate with R/3 using open and non proprietary technology. SAP BC uses the Internet as communication platform and XML/HTML as data format. Thus it seamlessly integrates different IT architectures with R/3.
SAP BC allows for full bi-directional communication to and from R/3. On the one hand all SAP functionality accessible using BAPIs and IDocs can be made available to business partners over the Internet as secure XML-based services. On the other hand applications and information running on a remote web site can be instantly invoked by a simple SAP function call thus making the information of the Web available to an R/3 System.
SAP BC provides an XML layer on top of R/3 functionality so that other applications do not need any understanding of R/3 internal data structures or protocols. You can deploy SAP BC to simply but effectively achieve business-to-business integration between trading partners, thereby extending the reach of your SAP infrastructure to customers, partners and suppliers. Examples for applications may include real-time integration between supplier inventories and your SAP System or multi-vendor product, price and availability information and your purchasing application.
For further Information on the same see WHAT IS SAP BC ?
SAP XI:
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) enables you to implement cross-system business processes. The aim of the Exchange Infrastructure is to integrate different versions of SAP and non-SAP systems implemented on different platforms (Java, ABAP, and so on). The Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, makes uses of open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape: Namely a runtime infrastructure for message exchange; configuration options for managing business processes and message flow; and options for transforming message contents between the sender and receiver systems.

RFC-XI-JDBC Scenario: Help with RFC code

HI,
I am doing RFC-XI-JDBC Scenario, where I have to poll the contents of my Ztable in SAP to Oracle.
The appraoach i am using here is :
1. Created a FM with import parameters as the fields of my Ztable and without any export parameter or source code.
2. Created a report to call that FM in background. The code of my report is as follows :
************************REPORT***********************************************************
Data:       it_zrfc_read_table type table of zrfc_read_table,
            wa_zrfc_read_table like line of it_zrfc_read_table.
PARAMETERS: tab_name like DD02L-TABNAME.
Data:       l_tabname type DD02L-TABNAME.
At selection-screen.
select single tabname from DD02L into l_tabname where tabname = tab_name.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
message 'incorrect table name' type 'E'.
endif.
start-of-selection.
select * from (tab_name) into corresponding fields of table it_zrfc_read_table.
loop at it_zrfc_read_table into wa_zrfc_read_table.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZRFC_READ_TABLE2XI'
IN BACKGROUND TASK DESTINATION 'ORACLEGIS_RFC_SENDER'
EXPORTING
    valve_id       = wa_zrfc_read_table-valve_id
    equnr          = wa_zrfc_read_table-equnr
    ernam          = wa_zrfc_read_table-ernam
    invnr          = wa_zrfc_read_table-invnr
    groes          = wa_zrfc_read_table-groes
    elief          = wa_zrfc_read_table-elief
    gwlen          = wa_zrfc_read_table-gwlen
    gwldt          = wa_zrfc_read_table-gwldt
    serge          = wa_zrfc_read_table-serge
    typbz          = wa_zrfc_read_table-typbz.
    endloop.
    commit work.
NOw my problem is that although I am able to send a table with a single record, but when my records > 1, it is not able to poll.
Please guide me what can be altered in the code or any other suggestion.
Thanks,
Puneet

Hi,
Instead of calling RFC many times I would:
1) create RFM with only one import parameter
TYPE your_table type
2) call only once RFM in the report:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZRFCNAME'
    IN BACKGROUND TASK
    DESTINATION 'RFCDEST'
    EXPORTING
      pt_table = i_table.
COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
This will also improve the performance.

Soap- XI- RFC- DB BPM scenario help

Hi,
I want to implement a scenario like this. a third party system use the soap adapter to call the ECC RFC via XI.and i want to write the RFC response into another DB using the jdbc adapter.after that i want to send back the DB update_insert result to soap client (third party system).so the scenario looks like this
soap request->XI->RFC
|
soap response <---DB
i want to use BPM,but have not too much experience.appreciate your help.
Regards
xiaofeng

Hi,
This will be a Synch Asycnh Scenario and you will need a BPM with a SYNCH ASYNCH bridge.
Steps :
1. Receiver Request Message from SOAP -- Open SA Bridge
2. Send Syunchronous -- To call RFC and get Response
3. Send Synchronous -- TO send data to JDBC and get response
4. Send -- TO send data back to SOAP -- Close SA Bridge.
You will have to do the corresponding message mapping , etc.
Take a look at the SAP BASIS Component -- Patterns -- Synch Asycnch pattern and this link for more info,

Error"SYSTEM Failure" while testing the RFC in SE37 : RFC to JDBC Scenario

Hi All,
I am doing RFC to JDBC scenario. When I am testing the RFC in SE37 using the RFC destination created in SM59, I get an error "SYSTEM FAILURE".
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shyam
Edited by: Shyam Sreepada on Dec 18, 2007 5:46 PM

Hi,
You must run RFC with RFC destination in background mode, I suggest to read following post in order to understand it better.
Syntax would be:
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK
[DESTINATION <your RFC destination>]
parameter list
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8f/53b67ad30be445b0ccc968d69bc6ff/frameset.htm
If you read it you will find that you can't test it directly from SE37, for this either you need to create dummy ABAP program or another RFC where you will call this RFC with background syntax.

Gourav

Issue in File to RFC to File Scenario with BPM using Block Step

Hi Everybody,
                       I am doing File to RFC to File Scenario for multiple records using BPM using Block Step. The File Message is getting posted and after that, the message is getting stuck up in the qRFC Monitor (Inbound Queue).
                    After seeing the message in Inbound Queue, I am trying to execute and release the message. But when i execute the LUW, it says " Function module doesnt exist or EXCEPTION raised" in Inbound queue.
Could somebody suggest me the outcome of this? What does this mean and how to
release the stuck up message in Queue.
Thanks and Regards,
N.Jayanth Kumar

Hi Rajesh,
                       After going through the blog, i saw the trace messages. It says
" The   exception occurred (program: CL_SWF_XI_INBOUND=============CP, include CL_SWF_XI_INBOUND=============CM00F, line: 19)"

RFC destination for RFC to File scenario

Hi,
I m creating a TCP/IP RFC destination in R/3 system for my RFC to File scenario.
Step 1:
For this a Registered server program is created in Jco RFc Destinations with,
Program Id : pgm1
Gateway host : PI's host
Gateway service : PI's service
application server host: ECC's host
system numer     : ECC's number
client : ECC's client
logon user : ECC user
password : pwd
Step 2:
In SM59, TCP/IP connection the following parameters are given:
Program ID : pgm1
Gateway host : PI's host       -
> is this correct
Gateway service : PI's service      -
> is this correct
Step 3:
So i am calling the RFC in ABAP program (R/3 system) like:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_HR_OUTBOUND_DATA2'
IN BACKGROUND TASK DESTINATION 'Z_HR_OUTBOUND_DATA2'
Step 4:
In PI side,
for RFC sender I am passing :
Application server : PI server
Application server service: PI host
program ID: pgm1 which was created in the previos step
For RFC Metadata Repository Parameter, i am passing all the values related to R/3
Please let me know whether the steps and values i given is correct.
B'cos even if i give ECC's information in Gateway host and Gateway service the scenario works fine and if i PI's info then also it works fine.
so i am confused as which is the correct method. pls clarify

Ok I will try to explain....
Assumptions: R3_TO_XI is the name of RFC which I created in ECC of type T.
While creating the RFC in ECC we mention a unique name which is called Progaram ID. Now the same program id we mention in our sender RFC CC.
So now when an ABAP Progarm (where you will call this RFC with it's destination) is scheduled/triggered with the code as mentioned below then since the DESTINATION ('R3_TO_XI') mentioned here contain the same program id which we have mentioned in our sender CC, invokes the adapter in PI and soon after that all pipeline steps get executed in XI.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZBAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAIL'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
DESTINATION 'R3_TO_XI'
TABLES
    comp_detail = company_detail.
COMMIT WORK.

What is RFC to XI scenario

Hi Forum,
What is a RFC-->XI scenario
When do we configure Sender RFC channel,
Does it mean calling a RFC enabled Function Module in XI from a R/3,
Does it mean executing a Function Module in a R/3 and sending the output to XI,
how do i go about writing a ABAP code for such a situation (pls provide a sample code)
How do i make a message interface in XI for the RFC message coming from the R/3 to my XI
What is the purpose of doing such kind of scenarios
pls help

Hi Sudeep
What is a RFC-->XI scenario
>> It means passing data fior RFC call to XI and XI inturn will pass the data to some other application system.
When do we configure Sender RFC channel
>> We need this when your RFC call is on sender application system and the processing is done on receiver applciation system.
Does it mean calling a RFC enabled Function Module in XI from a R/3,
>> NOP, it doesn't mean calling a function module in XI as XI is just a integration broker it wont process any data.The call is intend for other receiver systems passed via XI.
Does it mean executing a Function Module in a R/3 and sending the output to XI,
>> NOP, it is not passing output to XI.
how do i go about writing a ABAP code for such a situation (pls provide a sample code)
>>Sample code will contain call to the sender message interface in the configured scenario.
How do i make a message interface in XI for the RFC message coming from the R/3 to my XI
>> Import the RFC from the sender system to XI and then you can use that message interface in your scenario creation.
What is the purpose of doing such kind of scenarios
>> This is used when you intend to place a RFC call from a sender system to receiver system, so the processing of the RFC is done on the receiver system.
The main points to be considered while RFC to XI scenario is
1) The RFC destination is TCP and the program name mentioned in the desnation should be registered in though sender communication channel. The program name mentioned in the RFC desnation and sender commnucation channel should be same.
Thanks

Error Handling on RFC - XI - File Scenario

I have an R/3 RFC -> XI -> FILE scenario that works, but does not adequately handle the error of my R/3 to XI connection being down.
The RFC call is async since I was under the impression that I had to do a "to file" scenario that way.
    CALL FUNCTION 'ZXO_SAP2RFC'
      IN BACKGROUND TASK
      DESTINATION wa-rfc_dest_1
      EXPORTING
        request          = request
        rfc_header       = rfc_header.
    COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      [error handling]
If my rfc destination is down (for example when XI is down), this RFC call is still getting a sy-subrc of '0' (so my error handling does not kick in).
Any suggestions?

Hi Keith,
your scenario is working correctly. If XI is down you will find your message queued in transaction SM58, where you can restart it manually. Usually there should be standard job for report RSARFCEX, which is periodicly trieing to restard the message.
Asynchr Call (tRFC) means that your program continues completly undependent from that call.
Make a test: Change temporary the called machine in SM59 destination to senseless value and execute your programm. Your message should be in SM58. Then correct the destination and wait a few minutes...

Udo

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Czech letters in RFC- XI-JDBC scenario

Hello experts,
we want to transfer data to a database in a RFC->XI->JDBC scenario. Everything works fine, but when we transfer czech characters, we only see "?" in the database where a "Č" is expected. In the XI system the letters are displayed correctly (before and after mapping).
How can we solve this problem? Is there any setting for this in the receiver CC?
Best regards,
David

hi David,
try using ![CDATA[]] in your mapping, i mean send value in to the target field as ![CDATA[ Č ]].

RFC to SOAP Scenario -- Delivery Exception

Hi All,
I am working on RFC to SOAP scenario.
On executing a program in the SAP system, the system is throwing a dump stating "com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML".
I feel that the error is because of the response not being sent back by the webservice. On executing the webservice independently, it is working fine i.e. sending back the response.
Can anyone suggest the possible reasons for this error and what needs to be done to rectify this?
Thanks,
Ravi Kiran

the return from the Web service must have been an HTML(may be an error page or something)...What kind of authorization does this WS look for ?
Pls check these threads...
