Business Connector and PI

Hi,
Does Business Connector have a very limited number of threads (in multi-threading of tasks) when compared with PI?
Amith

Hi,
as far as I know there is no such restriction on the business connector regarding the number of threads it can handle.
best regards,

Business connector and idoc

Experts
Currently i am working on BC for creating
sales order using idoc , i have input file with me,
which is an xml format and the mapping is ready in
BC , only problem which i am facing is that i am not
able to understand following thing
1) How can i test these mapping as initial input
for mapping is node ,which won't except any input
2) How we can call these idoc structure(for example
ORDERS) in my BC.

Hi,
>>I am not sure of XI ,since i worked on BC only,
do XI provide automatice generation of java code ?
Not like BC, you have to write it manually.
>>curently i am looking into the serive that will create
inbound idoc in R/3 (ORDERS),since i worked with BAPI
and BC ,i am not much aware of IDOC, can we call
IDOC in our service directly as BAPI ,if so how?
See IDOC and BAPI'S are two different techniques for contacting the R/3. What you can do is call IDOC inside BAPI. BAPI is like your function (say java) and inside that you are creating an IDOC (say a file) and you are sending it to that R/3. For IDOCs you have to set Routing rules and all.. I think this might be helpful:

Good, after long time a BC query. Now i think you will close this thread and BTW have you seen this:

Flat File Transfer from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP Business Connector 4.8

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of transferring a flat file from my R/3 SAP 4.7 Box Application Server to the Business Connector 4.8 Box. I am new to SAP Business Connector and I am not to sure whether FTP works if I use a shell script in SAP R/3. Also, is there any way Business Connector Box can pull the file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server.
Any help will be appreciated!!!
Regards,
Subhhrangsu

Hi,
There are many ways thru which you can pass document to SAP BC:
You can HTTP, FTP, Email document to SAP BC.
SAP BC has predefined services for all of them.
For FTP document to SAP BC:
1 Initiate an FTP session on SAP BC Serveru2019s FTP listening port ( this can be found out from SAP BC administrator or from SAP BC homepage).
2 Point to the directory that contains the service to which you want to pass the XML
document.
Example cd \ns\Purchasing\SubmitOrder
3 Copy the XML document to this directory using the following command:
put XMLDoc.xml
Where XMLDoc.xml is the name of the file that you want to pass to SAP BC Server.
Example put PurchaseOrder.xml
Above code can be written in a batch file and you can schedule it to run at interval of minutes.
You can write java client program as well to upload file and map it to String variable of Flow service of SAP BC.
As Micheal said, you can look at sapbc/Developer/doc folder to look for more options.

Divyesh

Forwarding XML/EDI from SAP Business connector to EDI (cloverleaf)

Hello,
We are having issues setting SAP up to work with the business connector and our EDI system - cloverleaf.
For testing, we would like to:
1. Create an idoc in SAP and send it to the Busness Connector.
2. Have the busness connector send the doc via XML to our EDI system cloverleaf.
Currently, I have things setup like so:
SAP/ECC6:
SM59: RFC setup as type T and works fine.
WE20: Partner Type LS:
I have 2 message types setup (in outboard: I have "orders" and in Inbound I have the same).
in WE21: I have a cloverleaf (our EDI system) to run with the RFC destination I setup in SM59.
On the Business connector, I have the following under routing rules:
From SAP to the Business connector:
Sender: 8805
Reciver: 10000000008
Message Type: Orders
ACL Group: none
Package: default
Main Flow Services: wm.PartnerMgr.flows.88605.1000000008:ORDERS
Transport: ALE (R3/IDOC)
SAP destination: RD1 (our sid).
FOR my outgoing to our EDI system cloverleaf:
I am using the sender: * - Not sure if this should be SAP or the BC.
Reciver: * - Our EDI system. our EDI system is listening on port 49001.
Message Type: Orders
Under URL (not sure about this one)
I have http://reg2lxap0725:5555/MessagingSystem/receive/BcAdapter/BC
I am however stummped on how the URL shold look..
Now, when we test the above config... I recive the following results in WE02.
0000000000003024 25 03 Green Light: IDoc Successful Green LS/ /SAPBC ORDERS05 ORDERS Outbox CLOVERLEAF
For some reason, we also have an "inbound" that fails.
0000000000003025 25 56 Red Light: IDoc Has Errors KU/ /0000088605 ORDERS05 ORDERS Inbox SAPRD1
My main question is however around routing...
We are trying to send these to our EDI system which is listening on 49001.
I am not sure how they want us to setup the routing rules to pass this over to the right port..
I have also searched the documentation, and have not found any real step by step guides, so I may be missing a few things..
Any advice to point me to the right direction is greatly appriciated....
Thanks everyone,
Richard

Hello Prateek,
Thank you very much for your answer. The AdapterGuide was really helpfull.
Now the routing rule is associated to the correct Service (that was a the problem). So the rule started to process the XML files from the folder (the XML files disappeared immediately after I corrected the rule).
But now my problem is that on the SAP side there is no inbound IDOCs so it seems the trasmission may failed.
Moreover under "Routing"-->"Transactions" I don't see these entries with the the current date.
Our routing rule is simple: "wildcard" "wildcard" "wildcard" "ALE (R/3 IDOC)"--><OUR SAP SYSTEM>
The SAP connection is working as I can test under "SAP..." menu.
Is there any other way to monitor what had happened with these XML files? I'm sure the BC processed as the files are gone, but there is no IDOC in the destination SAP...
Thanks a lot!

IDoc Inbound Business Connector

Hello
I am trying to send an inbound IDoc to SAP via Business Connector. This is shortly to be replaced by XI.
The flow in Business Connector creates a routing rule which is blank because it is not finding the control information from the IDoc I believe.
I think I am missing a step in my flow.
Currently the flow is
document to record
Transform hierarchy to Flat.
Map ( mapping the fields into the IDoc)
Record to Idoc
Inbound process
The inbound process always fails because it doesnt recognise the message type, sender etc.
This is all the idoc and in record to Idoc this is an input with an output of Idoc list which is passed to the inbound process.
However Idoclist I believe doesn't seem to contain any data.
I think a step is missing can anyone help??
Thanks

Hi,
Please see this.
Hi,
BC adapter can be used when you want to communicate to a existing interface on Business Connector. If you are talking to SAP, you use RFC / IDOC adapters.
The SAP Business Connector (BC) is used in a large number of SAP production environments. SAP Business Connector will probably be gradually phased out and replaced by SAP XI technology. For the short term SAP Business connector and SAP XI will inevitably continue to coexist in companies IT landscapes.

I am with the same problem and it is apparently caused because the xml file is without encoding,

ABAP Query output to XML file using Business connector

Hi All,
I would request your help on to know, how can I read the output of ABAP query executed in SAP system via Business connector and then generate a XML file.
Also the existing business connector system, generates the XML file in encoding iso-8859-1. Where as customer wants the output XML file in encoding windows-1252.
Please help with your valuable ideas.
Thanks,

Hello,
possible solution:
1. create a remote function module (FM) in SAP which returns your needed data
2. create outbound map in BC for this FM
3. call this FM from BC in a flow
3. extract the result to XML (e.g. with service recordToDocument)

Java.lang.NullPointer.Exception
When I click on more details I get Server Error occurred
Any ideas what is missing
or what can be done

Hi Chander,
I think all you need to do is the following.
1) Logon to the new development bussiness connector server via the administrative UI
2) From the admin screen on the left tab click under Packages -> Publishing
3) You will be taken to a screen the has available releases ...click on Add Subscribers
4) you window should have the following path Packages>Publishing>Add Subscriber
5) Choose a package. enter the following:
    Host Name: ( your production bus. connector server ip
    Host Port : ( your production bus. conn. server port ( default = 5555 )
    Transport : HTTP
    Remote user name: (your production bus conn user name )
    remote pw:              ( your production bus conn pw )
6) Click on add subscriber ( provided you have entered the correct un/pw and have acces to the server..you will get message that server is now subscriber to package
7) Click on return to publishing ( path should read Packages>publishing
8) Click on create release
9) under the package you set as a subscriber to production click on create release
10) enter package release information - click on create release at bottom of screen
11) return to publishing - path should read Packages>Publishing
12) you should now have a link send release to the right of your package
13) click on send release - from next screen click on your subscriber (production bus conn ).
thats it...

Hi Sanju,
SAP BC:
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 <a href="http://www.sapgenie.com/mysap/bus_connector.htm">WHAT IS SAP BC ?</a>

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.
For more information on the same see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/0f/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/content.htm">SAP Exchange Infrastructure</a>
