Capture pl/sql fuction return into XML

Hi all,
I currently have a pl/sql fuction if which returns an array. I am calling the function from an xsql page within a DML statement.
Does anyone know if there is a way of capturing the return value inside a xsql:page-param for output of xml when the page in loaded into the browser or bind params are given to the fuction?
Any advice on this would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Designer10g R2 Design Capture of SQL Server DDL file Failed

I have been using Designer 10g R2 to design capture Oracle Database Schema into the Server Model Diagram with no problems at all.
I have a SQL Server 2005 exported DDL file into an ASCII text file. I then import the DDL script into the Server Model Diagram but ERRORs.
I use SQL Server 2005 to import the DDL script and then create an ODBC to connect to the SQL Server. I can then design capture the SQL Server schema into Designer.
What has gone wrong? Does Designer 10g R2 support design capture from SQL Server DDL file directly to Designer?
By the way, if I want to generate MySQL DDL script or design capture MySQL DDL script into Designer, how could this be done as there is no ODBC driver for MySQL?

Convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP tool?

Could anyone kindly let me know what is the procedure to convert SQL server database into SAP readable (encrypted) XML for SAP Authoring tool???

So If I understood it correctly there an existing propriertory question bank with SQL server. You are looking at an option to migrate all the tests and questions from the existing system to the LSO system. Right ?
I am still not clear on the xml conversion. Have you guys found a solution which could be achieved through a xml file ?
am not aware of a way through which you could import only a xml file and create tests/questions. If you have a sample xml file then forward me so that I could do some testing on my end.As per my knowledge you could do one of the following. I
1. Create the tests and questions manually in Authoring Environment. It will be a time consuming task. Based on the number of questions you have you might have to assemble a team of content developers to acheive this.
2. Alternatively, you could create a Adobe Flash based assessment. The Flash component would be the front-end and will read from a xml file to display the questions and to drive the funcationality. This would be a easier and less time consuming than creating the assessments manually in authoring environment. However, you might miss out some of the functionality available in the Test Author of Authoring Environment unless you have all the functionality replicated inside Flash. This would require one time effort in creating the Flash template and the xml file structure. Once that is created you could create multiple assessments by just replacing the xml file. If you select this approach then you would have to ensure the data from SQL is converted in the desired xml format required by your Flash component.
Please let me know if you require any further guidance or clarification regarding this.

APEX,PDF's, BI Publisher and SQL Query returning SQL code..

I don't know if I should be posting this in this Forum or the BI Publisher forum, so I am posting in BOTH forums..
I love APEX, let me say that first.. And appreciate the support offered here by the group, but am running int a confusing issue when BI Publisher tries to build a report from the above type APEX report..
Here is my dilemma:
I have a number of reports that are part of a Oracle package. They return an SQL Query back to a reports region on a page. I am having to deal with the column names returned are col01, col02..
The issue I have is, when building the Application Level query to download the XML sample from in building RTF layouts in Word, you can not use this code, you MUST use a standard SQL Select.
I have taken the sql from the function returning sql, and copied into the application query, supplying the required data values for bind variables being used in the query.
An XML file is produced, and I use this to build the RTF format file that I load back into APEX and try to use it for the PDF rendering of the report. I can view the output as a PDF in the Word add on, but when I try using it with the report, it is returning an empty PDF file.
Can anyone tell me what error log files on the bi publisher side I can look at to see what error is happening?
Thank you,

Tony,
You can find the log as follows:
- go to http://[yourserver]:[yourport]/em
- logon to OC4J EM: oc4jadmin/[yourpassword]
- click on "logs" at the bottom of the page
- in the hgrid/tree, expand OC4J->home->Application
xmlpserver
- click on view log icon
You can also observe what's going on in BI Publisher
by going to the command prompt from where you started
it.
Or, as a third option, you can locate the file on
your file system, depending on your setup, the path
would be something similar to this:
\oracle\product\10.2.0\bip\j2ee\home\application-deplo
yments\xmlpserver\application.log
With that said though, I don't expect you'll find
much in there that would help with your particular
problem. I suspect you either get no rows in your XML
at runtime, due to some session state issues, or your
XML structure does in fact not match your RTF
template.
I'm not quite following your problem description,
i.e. when did you do what and are you associating
your report layout with a report query or report
region. So just some general notes, your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query. If you want to
use your RTF template with a standard report region,
you must export the XML file first using the advanced
XML structure option. And of course the column names
in your report query need to match the column names
in your report region.
Perhaps this helps you further diagnose what's going
on, if you have additional information that could
help, let me know. And if you could stage this on
apex.oracle.com, I'd be happy to take a look.
Regards,
MarcMarc,
Thanks for looking at this issue. Below find my remarks to your questions..
Re: your query needs
to be parseable at design-time, when exporting the
XML, so that you get the XML file with the proper
column names derived from your query.At the start of this process, the query code was a function in a package. The function was returning an SQL select statement, for a report region on a page. I took the select statement, built an application query to build a sample of the xml for BI Publisher desktop (Add-on for Word). The code was producing the usual Col01, Col02.. since at design time that is were the column names.
When I then took the xml from this and built the rtf for loading into my APEX application.
When testing the Application Query with this RTF report layout, I am getting PDF's. When using it with the report region sending an xml feed to BI Publisher I am getting nothing back.
I have since taken the sql code and moved it back into the report region, and set the region to have a type of straight SQL Query. I have even tried to hard-code the parameters I was getting from the page to limit data returned.
Is it possible to see the xml being produced by the APEX page?
Re: Stage this on apex.oracle.com.. I would love to, but we would have HIPPA issues if I posted the data on a public website.
Can I send you the RTF file and the xml file that the application query is creating to see if there something weird about them?
Thank you,

Hi,
1/ first check you are passing the bind variables and
appropriate values in the call to your report - if
the query returns no data then you get an empty page
So if your query takes :P10_USERNAME variable then
pass it to the report in the URL
f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=YOUR_REP_QUERY_N
AME:::P10_USERNAME:MYUSER
2/ try to use the Default layout first to check your
report query really returns the data when called
3/ if you defined a header in your rtf template check
there is no & (ampersand) - if using & in the header
and preview the template from word it displays data
OK, but if you use this template in the report query
it fails to render the data (bug in Apex-> Bi
Publisher integration maybe?)
4/ If using the table in the rtf template check its
width does not overflow the page margins - there is a
problem with pdf export
5/ check
/oc4j/j2ee/home/application-deployments/xmlpserver/app
lication.log forthe information on BI Publisher runs
RadoIssue was in the APEX page having issues.. I recoded a new page and am able to generate BI Publisher based PDF files..

Creating a directory via a jsp page sql query return

Is it possible to create a directory based on the results of a sql query?
i.e.
My sql query returns application number 1234 for a building application (BC for short).
Is it possible to create a directory /BC/1234
It is then proposed to use an iframe to look into the directory so users can place and access scanned documents which are captured during the approval process.
If so how?
An example would be great.
Jason

Sorry hope your still around I've been away for a while. We've created a samber share to the file server where the documents are stored and mounted it within the web file directory. It works ok if there is an existing directory but if there isn't we want it to be created when the page looks for the folder. I've done this with an asp page it basically did a directory exist test first then create folder if it didn't. The problem is can't find an example of how to do the directory exist test then directory create syntax so an example of both would be great

Converting a result of query into XML format

Hi,
I am going to use DBXML,DBBOM and DBXSL
ie PLSXML utilities to convert the records returned after querying the data into XML format.Is it possible to do this using these packages?
Should i use Oracle SQL XML Utility?
Which would be better?

I've used both utilities and I personally like the concept of SQL Utility. I'm still
having some problem with encoding issues
but it seems a better tool to use with Java.
If I'm just going to be using PL/SQL, I'll
use PLSXML utilities. Note that PLSXML does
not support SAX nor will XSQL servlet work
with it.

Export Advanced Recordset from Database into XML

I don't think I was clear on my previous post about my goal
with Exporting an advanced MySQL query to an XML file.
Simple example: I have a photo gallery that has pictures of
various Architect Projects. The main page shows distinct images of
various projects (like an index). When one clicks on this image to
view the rest of the Project details, a detail page opens with more
information and additional images within this project.
I want to use Spry/Ajax to give the images nice dynamic
effects on the detail page. Normally to get from an index page to a
detail page using normal server-side procedures, one would have to
set up a dynamic link to the detail page by passing the recordID
thru a URL Parameter. The detail page would have a recordset query
that would call the URL Parameter so that the distinct record
chosen will be the only record displayed.
When exporting this query from the database to XML, for some
reason the following query only displays the <row> node in
the schema when creating a Dataset. See the following sql query
that I am trying to use on the detail page to create the dataset
via XML:
SELECT*
FROM project_tbl
WHERE projectID = [URL PARAM] projectID
Why, when creating a dataset in Spry and exporting it into
XML, will this query NOT work?
What can I do to make this work? URGENT HELP will be kindly
appreciated.

server. I have implemented the code you sent me but still no luck.

Outbound oracle data into xml file

Hi Odie,
Your previous inputs for xml inbound was working fine, in the similar way now I need outbound the oracle apps data into .xml file format. For that I've written one sample script like this. I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.
declare
l_log_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_log_name varchar2(50);
l_path_2 varchar2(40);
l_global_file varchar2(50);
l_time number:=1;
cursor cur1 is
select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual;
--select menu_id from fnd_menus where rownum<100;
begin
BEGIN
SELECT DECODE (INSTR (VALUE, ','),
0, VALUE,
SUBSTR (VALUE, 1, (INSTR (VALUE, ',', 1)) - 1)
INTO l_path_2
FROM v$parameter
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error while getting Unix Path ' || SQLERRM);
END;
l_log_name := 'XGBIZ_'||TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYMMDD')||l_time;
l_log_name := CONCAT(l_log_name,'.xml');
l_global_file := l_log_name;
l_log_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(l_path_2,l_log_name,'W');
for cur2 in cur1 loop
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(l_log_handle, cur2);
end loop;
utl_file.fclose_all;
EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Operation For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Path For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Mode For '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid File Handle '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Write Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid Read Error '|| l_global_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Internal Error');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Other Error '||'SQL CODE: '||SQLCODE||' Messg: '||SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
end;
when running this script I am getting error
ERROR at line 30:
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PUT_LINE'
ORA-06550: line 30, column 2:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
if in the cursor declaration happen to use 'select menu_id from fnd_menus ' a plain record then it is successfully creating.
If tried again revert to actual select statement ' select xmltype(cursor(select * from fnd_menus where rownum <101)) a from dual'
then its erring out as above said.
Please give me your valuable inputs in this regard.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are multiple ways to generate XML documents from relational data.
Here are some :
-- SQL/XML functions : XMLElement, XMLAgg, XMLAttributes etc.
-- DBMS_XMLGEN package
select dbms_xmlgen.getXML('SELECT * FROM scott.emp')
from dual;-- XMLType constructor over a REF CURSOR (the one you chose)
select xmlserialize(document
         xmltype(
           cursor(
             select *
             from scott.emp
         as clob
from dual;-- From a DBUriType
select xmlserialize(document
         dburitype('/SCOTT/EMP').getXML()
         as clob
from dual;-- From XQuery using ora:view function
select xmlserialize(document
         xmlquery('<ROWSET>{ora:view("SCOTT","EMP")}</ROWSET>' returning content)
         as clob indent size = 1
from dual;If a column is NULL in the result set, those methods (except XMLElement) won't create the corresponding element.
There's an option available for the XQuery method, but only in version 11.2.
So if you want to output empty elements, you'll have to use DBMS_XMLGEN with setNullHandling method :
DECLARE
ctx   DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
v_out CLOB;
rc    SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN rc FOR
SELECT *
FROM scott.emp
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(rc);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setNullHandling(ctx, DBMS_XMLGEN.EMPTY_TAG);
v_out := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(ctx);
CLOSE rc;
DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(v_out, 'TEST_DIR', 'test_out.xml');
END;
I thought of making use of the utl_file option in Oracle apps.You could, but you might find DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file procedure more convenient for that (see above).
All you have to do is serializing the XML in a CLOB variable, and call the procedure.
WHERE NAME = 'utl_file_dir';The "utl_file_dir" init. parameter is deprecated since 10g, use directory objects instead.

Report- Pl/sql function returning sql query parsing page items as text?

Hi Team,
I am facing a strange issue .
I have four page items namely
1)JOB_CODE
2)MIN_EXP
3) MAX_EXP
4) SOURCES1
I have a report of the type "Pl/sql function returning sql query"
declare
v_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
if (:JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql:= 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:JOB_CODE IS NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:MIN_EXP IS NULL and :JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MAX_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
elsif (:MAX_EXP is null and :JOB_CODE IS NOT NULL and :MIN_EXP IS NOT NULL and :SOURCES1 IS NOT NULL) then
v_sql := 'select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and source like ' || '''' || '%'|| ':SOURCES1' || '%' || '''';
end if;
insert into query_list values (v_sql);
insert into debug values (:JOB_CODE , :MIN_EXP , :MAX_EXP , :SOURCES1);
return v_sql;
end;
Please not that I am insertin the query into a table called Query_list and the page item values into the table called Debug thru the pl/sql function which returns teh query.
Now I select the data from the debug tables.
select unique(query) from query_list;
select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = :JOB_CODE and v_experience_years >= :MIN_EXP and v_experience_years <= :MAX_EXP and source like '%:SOURCES1%'
select * from debug;
JOBCODE     MINEX     MAXEX     SOURCE
21     1     10     donkeyHire
And if I run the query in sql I get some records returned
select v_candidate_id, v_fname,v_current_employer,v_Experience_years from candidature where V_REQUIREMENT = 21 and v_experience_years >= 1 and v_experience_years <= and source like 'donkeyHire'
V_CANDIDATE_ID     V_FNAME     V_CURRENT_EMPLOYER     V_EXPERIENCE_YEARS
2     Vengu     Andale Tech     4
But the record does not show up in the report!
does this type of report parse page items as text?
Why is it so?
Waiting for an early reply.
Thanks,

Reading String (Name-Value) from text file into XML

Hi,
I have a requirement for reading a text file and converting each entry of that text file into XML format. I have not came across such thing yet so looking for some ideas. I am using SQL Server 2005 and here is a sample entry from my source text file,
Jun 4 14:31:00 zzzz64x02 fff:
INPUT(ty=XYZ,Prefix=15063,dn=78787878787878,sgk=100.139.201.48,xxn=87878,ani=656565656565,ogrp=F7ZX05,ogtxt=NNNNN,ogx=NNNNN,oci=0xe00ac,ogi={NOA=INT,BC=1,SIG-TYPE=ZIP});
PROCESS(ty=0x100000,cu=32880,Name=XOXOXOX,pc=88017,pd=24,dd=880175,pk=880175,rd=115472,ca=BGD,reg=RW,cdp=1,ai=245359,grp=2648,sl=9);
OUTPUT(ty=XXXX,ret=0,rl=
{i=1,su=99999,rizID=61084,skid=06,truckgp=1084,dd=8801,dn=78787878787878}
I will get multiple entries like this in my source text file which I have to convert into XML (using TSQL).
Any help will be useful.
Regards.

And I'm telling you that this is a bad option. You would use the vaccum cleaner to wash the dishes, would you?
If you for some reason would do this task in SQL Server, you would implement it as a CLR stored procedure, but from what you have said I don't understand why you would do this server-side at all.
What's wrong with the current C# solution?
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Got it. I was just looking for the available options, nothing wrong with my C# solution. And yes, I don't use vacuum cleaner to wash dishes.

Hi All
I have 3 statements and I am writing some thing to a file using UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE after each statement is over. Each statement takes mentioned time to complete.
I am opening file in append mode.
statement1 (takes 2 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement2 (takes 5 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
statement3 (takes 10 mins)
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
I noticed that I am able to see contents written by UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE only after statement3 is over, not IMMEDIATELY after statement1 and statement2 are done ?
Can anybody tell me if this is correct behavior or am I missing something here ?Calling procedure must terminate before data is actually written to the file.
It is expected & correct behavior.

Data transfer using ALE/IDOC into XML.

Dear All,
I have to transfer FI document data (FB01) from the sap system ,convert it into XML and dump it in 1 of the file servers.I want to do this using ALE/IDOC.Is it possible to do the same and how.Similarly i want to do the same for Vendor and Customer master i.e sending the data in XML format.
Kindly Suggest how do i go about doin the same..Its very urgent.Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

In continuation:
Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
Development access; and
ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
Segment fields
LIFNR Vendor account number
XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
Enter a description for your segment type and create
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
Check the box on the line of your new segment
Save, back and enter
Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
Save and back
To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to add a new type
Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
Click on New entries
Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
Create the output partner profile.
Distribute the customer model
Specify the name of the customer model.
You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
The customer model must be maintained.
RFC destinations must be maintained.
The customer model must be distributed.
To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.
Data declaration statements
DATA: C_INVREV_SEGNAME(7) TYPE C VALUE 'Z1INVRV',

Move the document header into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_HEAD_TAB INTO DOC_HEAD.
ENDLOOP.
Move the document item data into a structure

For debugging purposes, use transaction WE05 (IDoc overview) to see check your IDoc status, or to see whether an IDoc was created/
3. INBOUND PROCESSING
3.1. Create Function Module
This function module is called when a message type, of type ZINVRV, comes into the receiving system. This needs to be configured and is dealt with later in this section. The function module is passed the IDoc as a parameter.
Example parameters

IDOC_DATA EDIDD
IDOC_STATUS BDIDOCSTAT
RETURN_VARIABLES BDWFRETVAR

Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates a BDC table with the IDoc info;
calls the transaction via a BDC call; and
updates the IDoc status according to the BDC error status.
EXTRACT FROM: Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV

Figure 5: Inbound processing example code
3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
Type in message type as ZINVRV
Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
Click on New entries
Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
Choose Inbound with ALE service
Choose Processing with function module
Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
Click on New Entries
Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
Enter your process code ZINR
Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.
Hope this will help you,
If you want me to explain more, you can give me your email id.
Reward with points incase you are satisfied.
