Configuration for Message Exchange in integration process

Hi,
I'm a beginner in SAP XI (7.0) and trying to develop an integration process for a purchase order.
There will be sent a message via Http to a receiver with Ftp.
So for the integration process are two communication channels necessary which will be defined in the integration directory:
One for the Sender: Http.
One for the receiver: Ftp.
Within the integration process are some sender and receiver steps with Bapi's.
My questions are:
- how and where could these sendings to a Bapi (send step) and from a Bapi (receive step) be configured?
- is it possible at all to configure a communication channel for these sending and receiving steps within a integration process?
Thanks for your help!
Zoran

Hi Zoran
While using BPM as well you will need to have communication channels.
BPM - > BAPI request.
BAPI response -> BPM
both sender and receiver channels are required for you.
1.Demand for a material is send via HTTP to XI
2.XI does a material availability check to the SAP system
3.A material reservation has to be done if there are any materials available in the stock (inventory) to the SAP system
4.If there is no material available a purchase order to a supplier (no SAP) has to be done via FTP
5.Parallel to the purchase order a purchase order confirmation is send to the the SAP system.
6.The supplier sends a purchase order confirmation to XI
7.The XI sends a purchase order confirmation to the SAP system
If i understood your requirement correctly and you want to use BPM. You need to do following in BPM
Receivestep1(receive HTTP post) -> transform1(mapping to BAPI request) ->send step1(Send BAPI request to SAP) -> Receivestep2 (Receive BAPI response from SAP) -> Transform2 (Map BAPI response to File)-> send2(File post to non SAP supplier)-> Receive3(receive purchase order confirmation)-> transform3(map to SAP purchase order confirmation)-> send3(Purchase order confirmation to sap)
You need no of channels
1.Receive 1 - (HTTP)
2.Send1/Receive2 - (RFC)
3.Send2 - (FTP)
4. Receive3( HTTP or FTP)
5. For purchase order confirmation.
Thanks

Correlate MDN to AS2 message using an integration process

Hello,
I had a similar question in a previous thread but closed it as the problem might have not been to clear.
Problem is that we have to use BPM for an AS2 scenario and correlate the MDN back to the process as we need BPM functionalities such as error handling and time-outs as well as some data enrichment.
Problem is even when I request the MDN synchronously on Adapter Level it is delivered as asynchronous message back. So I need to figure out how to correlate it.
MDN contains the messageID so I tried to use the messageID of the original message as correlation. However problem is that a new message ID is assigned when the message is sent by the integration process and the second on is used then as ID in the MDN.
It seems to me that it is therefore not possible at alle to correlate the MDN? However this is a definitive requirement so I am really stuck at the moment.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much!

Hello,
well, actually the correlation itself would work as I extract the messageID in a transformation step and then activate the correlation in a send step.
If I check the flag "Refer MDN to XI" in AS2 receiver channel the MDN is delivered back to the integration server and the original messageID is then part of the MDN message payload.
However, and that is the big problem, the MDN uses the second messageID that is created when sending the message from the integration process (and not the first one when the message is sent from sender and process by the integration process).

I will be buying the new IMac 27 inch in December. Would like input on the best configuration for photographic and possibly video processing-dream machine!

I will be buying an IMac 27 inch in December. What is the best configuration for photo and possibly video processing.Does one need a Mac Pro? Dream machine!

Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Split message mapping to integration process

Hi,
I faced an error when trying to send a multiple message (after a message split) to an integration process and I would like to know the possibilities to resolve this issue.
What I want to do (more details below) :
1. Get an order list from a database
2. Split the order list in multiple orders (via a multi-mapping)
3. For each order, create a new integration process instance
The error I got is:
Messages in multi message format can be sent to one adapter engine only
The solutions I thought of:
- Creating a new integration process / Update the existing integration process in order to execute the message split in the process engine
- Create a new service (or business system) as a receiver instead of the process that points back to another XI service and set-up the appropriate configuration between the second service and the existing integration process
My question: is there another solution than the two above?
Thanks in advance
Here are the details of what I did:
1. A JDBC request returns an order list like:
<resultSet>
 <row>
 <order>[...order 1 details...]</order>
 </row>
 <row>
 <order>[...order 2 details...]</order>
 </row>
</resultSet>
2. During interface determination phase, a multi-mapping is executed to produce several orders:
<order>[...order 1 details...]</order>
<order>[...order 2 details...]</order>
3. The target receiver is an integration process who take as initial document only one order ; so, having two orders as a result of the split, I would like XI to create two new instances of my integration process, each receiving exactly one order.
And there's when the above error occured.

Hi Alexis
Creating a new integration process is suggested as your target receiver is your current integration process and along with this splitting and passing data to multiple receiver can be done in integration process.
Thanks

Handling fault messages in an Integration Process (bpm)

I have a bpm in PI 7.11 which performs a synch call to an external webservice. In addition to the request/response, that webservice can also generate two faults: ObjectNotFoundFault and generalfault. I am having trouble handling these faults - when a fault occurs my handler is not being invoked and thus the bpm process stops/errors. When I look at the underlying process (via txn swi1), I see the exact error text:
"No exception defined for fault message ObjectNotFoundFault http://www.companyb.com/services/olsa_v1_0/"
From what I understand within the bpm synch call step to the webservice I need to do the following to handle the exception/fault:
- put the synch call (to the webservice) into a block
- add an exception branch to that block named let's say A & set the exception handler of that block to be A
- in the exception setting of that synch step, select A
In my case, I don't care about the fault details other than to ensure it does not stop the whole Integration Process, so in my exception branch I don't do anything. I did try adding a control step within it too (as per SAP Press text book).
Is there anything else I need to do here? I am not mapping the returned fault - does the fault need to be mapped (not sure how I would do this given that the synch step uses an abstract interface and therefore to my knowledge no fault mapping can be done)?
There are 2 Notes that describe my issue exactly:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1484903
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1158699 <-- this one refers more to me, but we already have in 7.11
Can anyone let me know exactly the steps I would perform to handle these faults - does the exception name / handler A above need to be named the actual exception / fault ObjectNotFoundFault?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks - my scenario I guess is #2 of that blog. But is your take that even if I don't care what is in the fault message, i.e. I don't care about the contents of it but rather I just want to continue on from it, that I still need to perform this java coding? It's not clear to me from what he says - it seems to me he does the java coding to actually capture the contents of the message. I am in fact using the soap axis adapter too, as he is. The screen shot showing the exception branch is basically what I have.

Capturing of Message ID in Integration process

Hello,
I have a scenario where my a file is picked from FTP server and passed to Integration process. Here if there is any failure in IP then i am throwing alert. Here i am preparing dynamic text in alert message. But my problem here is i am not able to catpture Message ID whereas i am able to capture all standard variables like SenderParty and etc.
Please help me in this regard,
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

Hi,
I have implemented the same. I have used container variables and used it in the Title of my AlertMessage.Store the Message Id after the receive step of BPM. Pass this value to the Function that triggers the Alert from Transformation step. We have a RFC SCREATE_ALERT that is used to set container values.
With Dynamic Text, i feel it always gives the processId.You can have MessageId in Alert Long text.Store the MessageID in a container element of BPM and use it in the control step message text : &message_id&. Dont forget to check the Dynamic Text in the properties of ur AlertCategory.
Hope this gives u an idea.
Ref this link for the possible container variables

Integrate PI and TIBCO together for message exchange

Hello All,
We have an environment where we need to integrate SAP-ECC with a 3rd party CRM system using PI and TIBCO.
So the data flow would be ECC>PI>TIBCO-->CRM system and vice versa.
I wanted to know if anyone here has done this before.
If yes, would you be able to help me with the following:
1. Which adapter can we use to integrate the 2 middlewares.
2. If anyone has used this before, are there any known issues
3. Based on SDN search it is suggested to use SOAP adapter for PI TIBCO integration - can someone confirm if we can use both synchronous as well as asynchronous methods in SOAP adapter.
Any other inputs are welcome.
Many thanks
SK

Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone here has done this before
Yes, someone has done this before
1. Which adapter can we use to integrate the 2 middlewares.
HTTP or SOAP can be used.
2. If anyone has used this before, are there any known issues
No issues as such, that I noticed. But do consider the security between the two systems, data size, Monitoring, Message processing etc.
3. Based on SDN search it is suggested to use SOAP adapter for PI TIBCO integration - can someone confirm if we can use both synchronous as well as asynchronous methods in SOAP adapter.
Yes, SOAP (& HTTP) is the most common adapter between these two middleware tools, for both async and sync processing.

Agreement Configuration for B2B and BPEL integration

I configured a listening channel on B2B to pick up custom xml files from a folder. I have a BPEL SOA composite that has a B2B adapter as a service to receive the custom xml files from B2B through direct integration. Since B2B has to send the xml file only to a SOA composite and not to another trading partner, how do I configure the agreement in B2B?
Appreciate your help.

Hi Naresh and Anuj,
Thanks a lot for your responses.
This is the problem that I am facing now.
As per your suggestion, I deployed an inbound agreement that specifies that the Sender is the Other TP (EPCOD) and the Receiver is the Host TP EPCOZ). Also I left the channel for the Host TP blank in the agreement - did not select anything from the drop down.
When I drop the file into the folder specified in the internal listening channel, with the following naming convention (EPCOZ_PayableInvoice_1.0_Custom_1234.xml), the file gets picked up, but I get the following error message:
Description: Agreement not found for trading partners: FromTP EPCOZ, ToTP EPCOZ with document type PayableInvoice-1.0-OUTBOUND.
For some reason, it thinks that both the sender and the receiver are the same. If I reverse the file name as EPCOD_PayableInvoice_1.0_Custom_1234.xml, then it thinks that the From TP is EPCOZ and the To TP is EPCOD.
Any ideas? Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Raja

Error message handling in Integration Process

How to use the fault message type? when define the fault message type for inbound message interface, how to output that fault message?
hope from your helps
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
A fault message is usually sent from the receiver system to the sender system.
when define the fault message type for inbound message interface,
We usually use fault messages when we need the receiver to report an application error to the sender.
How to use the fault message type?
In order to use these fault messages, we need to make use of the data type exchange fault data.
We need to create a message type which has exchange fault data as the message type.
When we create an outbound synchronous interface, we need to specify this fault message type.
how to output that fault message?
This i am not very sure.
But we must be able to map it to a similar structure, and send it as a file to a file server.

Smitha.

Hi Zoran
While using BPM as well you will need to have communication channels.
BPM - > BAPI request.
BAPI response -> BPM
both sender and receiver channels are required for you.
1.Demand for a material is send via HTTP to XI
2.XI does a material availability check to the SAP system
3.A material reservation has to be done if there are any materials available in the stock (inventory) to the SAP system
4.If there is no material available a purchase order to a supplier (no SAP) has to be done via FTP
5.Parallel to the purchase order a purchase order confirmation is send to the the SAP system.
6.The supplier sends a purchase order confirmation to XI
7.The XI sends a purchase order confirmation to the SAP system
If i understood your requirement correctly and you want to use BPM. You need to do following in BPM
Receivestep1(receive HTTP post) -> transform1(mapping to BAPI request) ->send step1(Send BAPI request to SAP) -> Receivestep2 (Receive BAPI response from SAP) -> Transform2 (Map BAPI response to File)-> send2(File post to non SAP supplier)-> Receive3(receive purchase order confirmation)-> transform3(map to SAP purchase order confirmation)-> send3(Purchase order confirmation to sap)
You need no of channels

FPN configured for message server port

Hello,
I would like to configure my Consumer Portal to connect to my Producer on port :8101 (the default message server port of the Producer). However, each time I try with this conifguration FPN breaks and nothing works - can't browse the PCD or see remote roles via Identity Management (when I switch the config back to point to port :50000 in the Producer object on the Consumer it works fine again). I'm not using a SAP web dispatcher between the two portals but Producer portal is indeed listening on port :8101 since I can hit it directly. Is this a limitation of FPN?
My http trace shows an ABORT message when trying to connect with the :8101 configuration.
The 8101 port is necessary to be configured in order to leverage our clustered load balanced environment which has the 8101 message server port listening and redirecting to a cluster of servers.
Patrick

When using Remote Delta Links one can configure the SAP Message Server's RMI-P4 port (3901 by default) for RMI-P4 communication.
For the HTTP load balancing you cannot configure it to point to the HTTP port of SAP Message Server (8101 by default) only the application server's HTTP port on the Central Instance (e.g. 50000) can be used.
But don't bother yourselves with this, because SAP recommends using SAP Webdispatcher for HTTP load balancing in FPN scenario, so don't use SAP Message Server directly for HTTP load balancing in the FPN connection setup!

Function Module for message "MBGMCR" in outbound process

Hi all,
I want to create an IDoc via EDI when I post a material document. I use messgae type MBGMCR and IDoc type MBGMCR02 and I already configured in partner profile and all about output determination in SAP-IM.
And now I need a function module to process outbound IDoc of posting material document but I couldn't find a function module for processing.
Pls let me know about that.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
You need to Code your own Z Function Module for this. Copy any standard outbound FM to create your own Z FM, so as to ensure that Interfaces are correct.
Refer to given below threads:
Re: Standard IDOC for Goods Receipt
Re: Idoc type for Goods Receipt

Viewing the way of a message through integration process

Hey,
I would like to check the lifecycle of a message through an integration process (IP). Therefore I took the ID of a message that triggers the IP. Our IP have several sending steps and I would like to see the messages that will be send. In sxmb_moni I clicked on PE and opened the technical view of my IP.
The payloads of the container are empty. I think this is because of configuration in sxmb_adm.
Is this the only way to figure out which messages belong to my IP?
How to found the message IDs of all messages that belong tho this IP?
thx
chris

@Bhavesh Kantilal
No I didn't check this flag. Thanks for this information.
I figure out that you can show all messages to a integration process
by using transaction sxmb_moni_bpe.
Following steps are necessary:
- took the message ID, date and time of receiving of the message that triggers a integration process
- go to sxmb_moni_bpe and choose "Process to a message"
- enter receiving interface name that triggers the process and a fitting time.
- choose your process with the time and date of your message
- mark this process and look in the further information if your message ID is in this process
thx

Prerequisites to configuration for ABAP Proxy -???

My scenario is file->XI->R/3(abap server proxy).
Xi and R/3 are 2 seperate business systems
-Abap server proxy created on R/3 business system. R/3 client 550
-Xi client 400.
-SLD is common for both XI and R/3
My question is in reference to the below message thread:
1.I understand all the below configuartaion has to be done on R/3 business system, tell me am I correct
2. are these configuartion needed for client proxy as well as server proxy also?
HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK
The prerequisites to configuration for ABAP Proxy include: (landscape dependent)
1. The business systems should be based on SAP Web AS 6.20 and SAP Web AS 6.20 kernel patch level above 1253
2. You have installed the XI Add-On in each of these business systems as described in the Installation Guide SAP Exchange Infrastructure 3.0
3. The business systems and your central Integration Server are maintained in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

2. If there is HTTP error during connection, first run transaction SLDCHECK in the Business system. Also check that HTTP connection is working fine.
3. In XI Adapter use HTTP connection rather then giving R/3 input details as this is easier to transport and maintenance
4. One receiver adapter can be used for all Interfaces connecting to a Business system.
Thanks for your reply in adavnce.
KK

2. are these configuartion needed for client proxy as well as server proxy also?
>>>>
the configuration is one time thing and your R3 will act as a server or client according to the data being sent or received.
In R3 a point to be noted is that in SXMB_ADM -> Intg. Engine Confg. -> Role of Business System sud be as a Application System.
