Business Connector reading from an X400 box

Hello All,
Does anybody have any experience to read the messages from an X400 box into the BC and process them then.
I would like to communicate with the BC to the X400 box and process the message(s).
Some people have some middleware in between (like Seeburger) to be able to read from the X400 and generate a message to the Business Connector. Is this middleware really needed??
John

We use the Seeburger, to convert the incomming X.400 files to IDOCS (EDIFACT  -->  INHOUSE) and then push them through the RFC interface ito SAP

  • Business Connector - Read only - Administrator role

    Hi Community,
    We've currently got SAP 4.8 running in our environment.
    The situation is that often developers need to check the extended settings, logs, or what jobs are scheduled.
    The two main roles are Developer or administrator.
    The only way to get access to the web GUI admin page is to assign the administrator role.
    Does anyone know how to assign a "read-only" role for the web admin page?
    I would then assign this to a developer rather than give them full administrator access on business connector.
    Kind Regards,
    Chris

    To the best of my knowledge thats not an option.
    But like to hear it if otherwise.
    Regards

  • Accessing BIA through Business Objects - read from Query or InfoCube

    Hi All,
    I've a BObj/BIA question, some similar threads have been posted....
    With a Business Objects front-end, I understand that BIA can be used to access Indexed InfoCube data, and reduce the data manager portion of the overall runtime.
    My question relates to the options of a)Business Objects reading data defined in Queries, or b)BO reading the data from the InfoCubes.
    So my question is:
    a) Is there any difference/benefit in using one option over the other? (queries Vs InfoCubes directly)
    b) Will both methods access the required data through the BIA if it (the data) is available there and indexed?
    Thanks for the help,
    Mk.

    Hello Michael,
    both methods will use BIA. We recommend to use queries since they typically limit the selection criteria through variables and give you the possibility to use restricted and calculated key figures. With direct InfoCube access you run the risk that users try to read the complete InfoCube.

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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!

  • Error message when calling a Business Connector RFC destination from SRM

    Hello all,
    We are facing one problem with data Purchase Order transmission between SRM 5.0 (SRM_SERVER 5.5, extended classic scenario) and Business Connector 4.7.
    We made needed customizing in order to have "XML / XI" output medium available in tab 'Company Data' in "Manage Business Partners" web transaction (by updating BBP_USE_AI table in SM30 transaction).
    Then, we implemented BAdI definition BBP_EBPXML_OUT_BADI with method PURCHASEORDER in order to change XI system type to Business Connector.
    In this way, PO transfer data between SRM and BC is done using BC Module Function BAPI_POEC_XML_SEND (TCP/IP RFC connection was defined for Purchase Order in BBPC_RFCDEST table).
    Nevertheless, even if method BBP_PO_SEND_XML is correctly triggered when PO is created with a vendor with XML output medium, we have in the document output log ("Process Purchase Order" web transaction) an error message:
    ' Error (Unknown Partner and Message Type. Routing Rule created. Sender: SMR Receiver:) when calling RFC destination BC '
    where SRM is the SRM log. sys. and BC the Business Connector log. sys.
    Our EAI team is working on it, but if you have any idea, your are welcome !
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards.
    Laurent

    Hello Christian,
    Thank you for your help. However, we abandoned this solution between SRM and Business Connector.
    So, we followed instructions indicated in OSS note 883693 - "ECS: PO output determination in R/3".
    Nevertheless, in order to restrict this behaviour for specific vendors and purchasing organizations, we added some filters.
    It is working fine.
    However, when the PO is modified in SRM, then order again, PO is modified in R/3 (by the RFC user from SRM) more than once.
    As a consequence, we have as much messages as modifications of the order in R/3 (due to multiple RFC access with the SRM RFC user).
    Does anybody have an idea to have only one R/3 output message when the PO is modified in SRM ?
    One solution could be to check in the NAST table if the time creation of the last output message is lower than, for example, one minute.
    If it is the case, we do not allow R/3 ouput message.
    Any suggestions is welcome.
    Regards.
    Laurent.

    What does the RFC trace file and log say? Has there been any dump on the SAP server? Check the logs and transaction st22 in your SAP system to see if the RFC-module has dumped.
    My guess is the problem is in the RFC-module, I think you should start looking there.

  • Making a call to a Business Connector Flow Service from within an ABAP prog

    Hello,
    I am trying to make a change to one of the flow services within BUsiness COnnector.
    The way the system is currently set up is that the flow service is called from within an ABAP program via an RFC call.
    A remote FM exists in SAP and this is called by the program and there is a corresponding flo service within Business Connector.
    I have basically copied an existing flow service which works fine and made a few minor tweaks. Within SAP, I have copied the remote FM and again made a few minor tweaks.
    However, when I run the program, it short dumps at the point whee my remote FM is called with th following message :-
    "Unknown Partner and Message Type. Sender: xxxx Receiver: xxxx MsgType:  "
    I am not a Business Connector expert and I guess I am missing a ste but I'm not sure what it is.
    Can anyone advise?

    Hi Hari,
    If you are interested to get a free evaluation on the level of complexity of your BC projects and the amount of work required for the migration please contact us and we can perform this evaluation and estimation for you.
    Our product BC2XI is the only BC to PI migration product which is [Netweaver content certified|http://www.sap.com/ecosystem/customers/directories/SoftwareISVSolutions.epx?context=21B87D61C0F646A22B2A6DB254A010CA8C9C141B7529F029910FE6FF9EEEC5A701BF20EED61AC07159D98BAA068EBE1B8C5C7665EA2226374E942CF1D2A49D202711A97F135182CC%7c681CA45EAFF1066138C1B9B28AACD541&response=shared] and the only product which you can actually see a demonstration of (go to [http://www.sisusoftware.com]). We hear about other products, but these don't seem to have any public availability (at least which one could see).
    It is completely feasible to automate the migration of BC records, flows, flow elements, graphical maps, 100+ of the BC built-in functions, output templates, etc. it is just very, very complex

  • Idoc outbound from business connector

    Hi,

    When I test the application, it's showing a null pointer exception . I have doubt in what all values should i give for control records ??
    Shall i create a new routing rule for this ?
    Any help or suggestion will be of great help .
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    You are getting the Null Pointer Exception due to missing of Values in any of the context variables or the fields from mapping on target side.
    Please check the data that you are passing may have any null values and whcih are not acceptable. Test the message mapping with test Tab.
    The Mandatory control records, such as Sender/ receiver Ports, Partner Profiles etc, you need to pass.
    Thanks
