Business Connector - where to download?

Hello,
I know that the Business Connector is not the latest integration technology. Nevertheless I would like to test it with our MiniSAP system. But all the download-links I found are no longer valid.
I tried of course also service.sap.com/connectors (I have a login).
Can you point me to the right point?
Michael

For the first link I get the error below:
Error Message - Access denied (ODBC)
What happened?
You do not have permission to access this Object
What can you do?
Please contact a consulting adminstrative
If this doesn't work, please create a message in SAPNet - R/3 Frontend in application area XX-SER-SAPSMP-ACC.
In this case, the SAP Service Marketplace Team needs the following error information:
Error code: WEBSMP204-20040920083156-0016

Hi Jutta,
it used to be here:

but remember:
"For SRM 4.0 (SRM SERVER 5.0), SAP does not recommend that you use the Business Connectors in connection with Supplier Relationship Management."

Old version of SAP Business Connector (4.6)

Hi,
where can I download old versions of SAP Business Connector?
in BC section ([http://service.sap.com/sbc-download|http://service.sap.com/sbc-download]) there are only 4.7 and 4.8 installation package and upload.
thanks
Damiano

What is the reason for staying on 4.6 ?
Did you develop many complicated packages and are afraid they wont work anymore in 4.7. That should not be the case.
By the way, if someone answers your question, you are encouraged to give the points to that person and not just mark the question as answered but I will answer your questions about BC anyway, if needed.

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!!!

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

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.

Delta between Business Connector 4.8 and 4.7

This seemed like the most logical place to put my post so here it goes..
We are assessing our options for replacing/upgrading existing Business Connector installations that will shortly be out of support (OSS Note 571530).Whilst researching our options I have come across OSS Note 1094412 which describes a new version of 4.8 becoming available in July 2008.
Information on BC4.8 is virtually non-existent on the web - can anyone provide me with details of the delta between 4.7 and 4.8, licensing structure, hardware requirements, support/maintenance strategy and ease of migration from 4.6/4.7 to 4.8?
As an aside it is very interesting that SAP has chosen to provide BC 4.8, presumably to ensure BC can continue to runs on supported O/S' and Java environments, when SAP XI/PI is being touted as the de facto integrator for companies with a significant SAP presence. Maybe customers are not quite as keen to move on/remove their BC instances as SAP would hope...

Hi Daniel,
We have been on this topic for years (some vested interest through product development).
What seems to have happened, from what we can gather, is that Netweaver XI/PI uptake hasn't happened as fast as initially hoped (SAP was looking at an intial end of life of Dec 2004 for BC).
The case is quite simple. BC is free, easy to install and maintain. XI/PI, new product, takes a while to stabilize, much more feature rich, but at the same time more complex and less performing (and did I mention the license cost?).
What we know about BC 4.8 and this is purely based on talking to people and reading about it, we have not seen / tested BC 4.8 ourselves - Mainly a platform upgrade, no significant changes. Most likely free as well (the original contract states that if SAP charges money for BC they have to pay extra to Webmethods / Software AG) accordingly. I would expect to see a few new built-in function and hopefully some hooks into standard SAP monitoring tools.
I think you hit the nail on the head. We have seen customers panic and move to non-Netweaver platforms from BC to be on a supported solution (back when EOL was imminent before 4.8 was released). Why non-Netweaver? Because many customers use non-SAP Integration Products as well and they tend to drift to known solutions instead of trying to manage the risk of migrating to a unfamiliar product.
I would not expect any major changes that would make migration to 4.8 hard. If there would be some major issues then that would signal some significant developments from SAP and that would be a strange thing at this point of the product lifecycle.
End of life for BC 4.8 is in 2012 or thereabouts if I remember correctly, this was part of some note which was released/updated towards the end of last year.
You might want to make some design calls if you continue developing your integration scenarios on BC. The best format to allow for an easy / relatively painfree migration to PI one day is by using BC graphical MAPS where possible, NOT XSL maps as wrongfully indicated in so many previous posts and articles. XSL is the hardest format to migrate to PI even though it might look superficially as a compatible format...

Using Business Connector to convert a file to XML

Hi, I have been asked to see if a flat file created by an abap program can be converted to XML format using Business Connector (4.7). I have looked in the tutorial and the pdf documents but can not see how this is done. Please could someone give me some advice?
- Is this possible using built-in Business Connector services - or is it more complicated?
- Should I even bother to try to do this when it it easy for me to create an XML format file from ABAP?
- Is there a good course, book, documentation that would help me?
Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy!
Our customers have this requirement to convert some "flat-file" into some XML format via Business Connector quite often. The best way (as the last post sugessted) is indeed to use the "EDI-Adapter" which is free of charge (service.sap.com/connectors).
With that module you can convert all flat-files (delimiter based, offset based, mixed, even classical EDI formats, ...) based on some definition ( = template). Be careful the EDI-Adapter Module download page states that it is supported for BC version 4.6 . However it is absolutely no problem to use it in BC 4.7 versions as well. Remember that you will NOT get any official support by SAP when using the EDI-Adapter module.
Simply import the EDI-Module as general BC package (server/replicate/inbound directory).
Generally it is very powerful, stable and well documented ...
Best regards, Andy

Business Connector Scenario .

Hallo ,
I have been given a scenario, where SRM sends a PO sheet in XML format to BC.I have to map some elements of the XML to the elements of client's application.
They require the xml to be ftp ed to FTP server, from there it's used for application.
My questions:
1) Where can i find the XML file which is sent by BAPI from SRM system.
2) Is just mapping enough ?? and what are the services available for this task.?
3)Service used for FTP and from there how to map to application of client??
Thanks in advance for all ...for your help
Srini

hi,
>>>>1) Where can i find the XML file which is sent by BAPI from SRM system.
did you try with SRM content for business connector ?
>>>>3)Service used for FTP and from there how to map to application of client??
pub.client.ftp:put
>>>>2) Is just mapping enough ?? and what are the services available for this task.?
depends on what your client's application expects
maybe you will need to do some lookups etc <-- you need to find out

Business connector installation error

Dear community,
I am trying to install bc 4.8 x64 on win2008 R2 x64 std ed.server (in vmware).
When I run the installer (BCServer48_x64.exe or BCServerXpt48_x64) I get an error:
>business connector install could not find a java virtual machine to load
>you may need to reinstall a supported java virtual machine
As I understand it there is a sap jvm integrated, so separate jre install is not needed.
In any case I have also installed separate java :
>java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)
but this does not change the error.
Win2008 R2 is supported according to pam and note 1094412.
I have tried using compatibility settings for win server 2003 but no change.
Any advice ?
Rgds, Eirikur.

It would have been helpful if you shared how to execute this fix.
Here by the way I fixed it:
First:
Make sure you have a JDK installed!
I used: JDK 6: sapjvm-6.1.043-ntamd64.zip
You can find it here: https://tools.netweaver.ondemand.com/ Press the Additional software tab.
Second:
Go to: http://java.com/en/download/help/path.xml
Here they will explain you how to edit the PATH for different OS. The Windows 7 fix works on Windows Server 2008 R2.
Third:
For windows Users:
When you have the Edit PATH screen open add the correct path that leads to your JDK.
For me it was: ";C:\Program Files\Java\sapjvm_6\bin" (Paste without the quotes but add a ; in front of your path)
Kind regards

hi,
with business developer installation you get a DOCs folder where you can find the best BC guides there are - if you're not satisfied however you can always attend BC530 and BC531 from SAP
but those from docs folder are enough to start doing flows in BC,

Where to download B2B Adapter?

where to download B2B Adapter that allow BPEL to integrate with Oracle B2B Integration??

thanks, i manage to get the B2B adapter but i face another problem when i try to deploy.
here is the error i got from the log.
ORABPEL-05207
Error deploying BPEL archive.
An error occurred while attempting to deploy the BPEL archive file "bpel_Enqueue850_1.1.jar"; the exception reported is: Problem 1: [http://localhost:9700/BPELConsole/wsil/adapters/B2B/EDI_X12/X12_4010-4010/850/850+Definition?wsdl]: Unable to locate the JCA Resource Adapter via WSDL port element jca:address.
The Adapter Framework is unable to startup the Resource Adapter specified in the WSDL jca:address element: {http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/wsdl/jca/}address: location='eis/b2b'
The reason for this is most likely that either
1) the Resource Adapters RAR file has not been deployed successfully to the OC4J Application server or
2) the 'location' attribute in $J2EE_HOME/application-deployments/default/deployed-adapter-name/oc4j-ra.xml has not been set to eis/b2b. In the last case you might have to add a new 'connector-factory' entry (connection) to oc4j-ra.xml.
Please correct this and then restart the BPEL/OC4J Application Server
any idea how to fix this problem?

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)
