How to configure B2B scenarios ?
And what is difference between A2A and B2B ?
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
there are many blog/discussions available on which provide the details. Please search on scn.
For B2B scenario configuration you can refer the below blogs

  • For sending file in  B2B  scenario

    Hello Friends,
    I need to pass a file to my client's business partner...
    I think its a B2B scenario...
    So how to transfer a file my client to  his business parntner.
    Please suggest which adpter to use at receiver side and how to handle the configuration..
    It should be secure and reliable

    hi,
    you have to use FILE ADAPTER but you need to use PARTY when you are using BPM
    check this blogs for reference
    BPM means Business process management
    To deal with Multiple sender and receivers based on the conditions we could use BPM. Its one of the feature of BPM, but its not mandatory to go for BPM for each n every case. Its depends upon scnenario.
    BPM steps are divided into two types:
    1)message steps
    2)flow steps
    message steps are :
    a)send step
    b)receive step
    c)receiver determination step
    d)tranformation step
    flow steps are:
    a)control step
    b)container operation
    c)block step
    d)wait step
    e)fork step
    f)switch step
    g)undefined step
    h)loop step

  • B2B Scenario : Party Identifiers

    Hi all ,
    I have B2B scenario. ( IDOC to Mail)
    My question is  : Can I have more then one identifier for same Agency and schema pair?
    XI is not allowing me to configure two identifiers for same Agency and schema pair. Is their any work around for this ?
    Regards,
    Sheetal

    Hi Sheetal,
    > My question is : Can I have more then one identifier for same Agency and schema pair?
    Only if you setup another party. This can makes sense if you map parties in the receiver agreement.
    > They have three partner profiles created in same R3. They will send IDOC from either of three to XI and I need to process those IDOCs and send a mail
    I think you dont need parties here. Just process the IDocs messages - may be depending on value of field EDIDC40/RCVPRN - to a normal third party email receiver system.

  • Configuring Process Integration Scenario

    Hi,
    I have created a Process Integration Scenario in ESR and trying to create ID objects.
    I am referring this blog: /people/shailesh.mane/blog/2006/06/29/b2b-configuration-part-ii--creating-the-configuration-using-the-automated-configuration-tool
    I am confused while running the wizard.
    1) Can anyone please confirm what objects should I create in ID before running the wizard
    I have a External Party --> SAP PI -> IDOC scenario (with multiple actions inbetween). I am using PI7.1.1
    Thank you,
    Pankaj.

    Hi Pankaj ,
    While you design your  process integration scenario . while you do insert application component for sender and receiver
    Have you checked the tab " Communication tab --" External party with B2B communication."
    I am not sure but this is your problem I guess ,
    Please have a look at the link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/ce988318d3424be10000000a421937/frameset.htm
    Since you are using IDocs , you cannot use integrated configurations( not sure whetehr its supported in your Service pack version ) hence no use of "sender uses virtual receiver "
    http://www.riyaz.net/blog/local-processing-in-the-advanced-adapter-engine-using-pi-71/technology/sap/494/
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20c237f1-3caf-2b10-3a83-cce9ed5fbdf3?
    QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    You can use sender uses a  virtual receiver while creation of sender agreement then you need not make separete receiver determination and interface determination , in case of B2B scenarios try that option as well
    let me know if it  works or not

  • A2A and B2B Scenarios

    Hello Friends,
                  Can any one explain what is A2A and B2B Scenarios and please explain what is asynchronous and synchronous communication.
    Thnks&Rgds,
    Dinesh

    Hi Dinesh,
    1. A2A integration involves configuring your system landscape, designing your integration scenarios, configuration of the scenarios, handling messages. In which you communicate at application level.
    2. B2B Integration
    Its something in which two business are integrated like: we develop scenario like legacy system to  MDM using XI.
    Now two businesses are communicating. See the link:
    http://resources.ecommercetimes.com/search/keyword/ecommercetimes/Definition%20B2B/Definition%20B2B
    3. Asynchronous communication:
    Means you will send the data but no response will come from the receving end called Asynchronous communication. You will just send, disadv: your data may lost.
    4. Synchronous:
    Every time sender will send the data, receiver will give a response say acknowledgement to the sender that data received.
    Adv: if data is not going to receiver it can be delivered again.
    Rewrads if found helpful.

  • B2B Scenario both sides are R/3 systems

    Hi...Experts,
    i am doing B2B Scenario , that requirement is we are using both sides R/3 systems, from receiver side they want to send the response to sender.. Source is Asynchronous and Target is Synchronous ..
    what types of adapters are sutable for this requirement....
    pls give me ur valuable suggestions.
    Regards,
    Pasi

    As Order Response is required, this cant be achieved using the idoc acknowledgments.
    U may configure ur scenario in this manner:
    Make an Idoc to Idoc scenrio. In this case Idoc receiver will be ORDERS (as u said ORDERS response is required). Now the Inbound processing code of the receiver Idoc should trigger the Idoc response Idoc. There should be again some ALE settings to handle this ORDERS response idoc. This way it will be sent only to XI and will behave as a separate scenario.

  • B2B Scenarios?? Urgent

    Hi XI experts..
    Anybody explain about Busines 2 business scenarios..
    what are necessary steps i should follow to develop B2B Scenarios. Compare to A2A.
    Share to me Some Real Time Example's..
    Thanks,
    RAJU

    Hi Rajshekar,
    B2B scenarios come in to picture when communication is between two Organizations or parties.
    A2A - application 2 application:
    this is a integration like let's say, you have 2 systems in your company: ERP & accounting system. And you want to send data from ERP to acconting system. This happens inside your company, so it is sol called A2A.
    B2B - business 2 business
    Let's say, there are 2 companies, and they have a different systems, which need to be integrated. For Ex: your client is using SAP R/3 and their customer is having some other technology. they want to integrate each Appications. this is B2B.
    "B2B" is contemporary shorthand for a longtime sales practice called business-to-business. B2B transactions primarily target companies and other wholesale buyers, while transactions targeting individuals are called B2C, or business-to-customer. Many organizations have both B2B and B2C components, but it's not unusual for a company to specialize in B2B services or sales. In fact, the vast majority of products and services sold are considered to be B2B in nature.
    One major reason for the popularity of B2B sales and services is sheer volume. An individual customer may visit a clothing manufacturer's website catalog and order two pairs of shoes or a sweater. The buyer for a national chain of clothing stores, however, may order 5,000 pairs of shoes and 2,000 sweaters. Without a B2B component, the manufacturer would have lost out on a very lucrative sale. This is why many companies provide B2B options alongside the B2C offerings at their websites and other outlets.
    B2B sales are also generated by providing a specialized product line or service not available to the general public. This form of B2B transaction is very common in the manufacturing world. A company which produces shaving cream in cans, for example, may need a specific plastic nozzle. Several plastic injection molding companies would send sales representatives to pitch their particular designs. These nozzles would be useless for individual customers, but a manufacturer may order thousands of them.
    With the growth in electronic communications, B2B has taken on even more importance. Instead of simply focusing on business-to-business sales, modern corporations are conducting other financial transactions online. B2B communications are now being used to promote investment, trade stocks and form financial alliances. Because the price of these transactions is far beyond the reach of most individuals, there is no equivalent business-to-customer option available. Some B2B transactions handled electronically can literally run into the billions of dollars.

  • B2B scenario in SAP PO

    Hi Experts,
    We have to start with the development of B2B scenario in SAP PO 7.4.
    The scenario is as mentioned below :-
    SAP ECC ------> SAP PO -----> B2B VAN Provider----> (various customers)
    After going through some of the blogs, listed few points which seems to be confusing to me -
    1) How the TPM configuration could be done in this case? We tried with one doc but its somehow confusing.
    (http://scn.sap.com/community/b2b-integration/blog/2014/01/28/trading-partner-management-part-1)
    2) How the configuration will be done? Creation of party, agency and schema? Identifiers tab of the communication channel.
    (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cdded790-0201-0010-6db8-beb9bb2b2660?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&5003637721826
    Gone through the above mentioned link, got confused about the configuration part.
    As per my understanding,
    Sender party --> no need to create as landscape is same.
    Receiver party --> Mandatory to create, but what needs to be put in Agency, Schema and Value?(around 50+ customers for one VAN)
    Is my understanding correct? Please correct if i am wrong.
    Please guide, if someone has worked over B2B SAP PO 7.4.
    Thanks!
    Br,
    Nidhi

    Hi Nidhi,
    for your second question integration to VAN. you only need to maintain the identifier (AS2 identifier) for VAN and VAN will distribute/route the message to customer.

  • About B2B scenario?

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to B2B sceanrios. I understand the basics that it is for communicating between two external systems, i.e outside the firewall.
    But for using the B2B scenarios what kind of adapters can be used? And i am not able to find any test scenarios for this. Can you give me link or document showing the step by step procedure for B2B scenarios?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Lavanya R

    Hi Lavanya,
    About EDI and AS2.
    Third party adapters are provided by Seeburger which is used to integrate EDI scenarios. Adapters are AS2,VAN,OFTPS,X400.
    Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
    These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.
    Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:
    1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI
    5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

  • Error -: AIP-18510 while deploying a configuration in B2B

    Hi All,
    I am getting the following error while deploying a configuration in B2B.
    Could someone please let me know why is this occurring since from the error there does not seem to be any set-up issue. It looks like some Internal Error.
    If somebody has faced the same similar, please let me know what do we need to do to fix it.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Dibya

    Hi Ramesh,
    This issue is resolved. I just restarted the B2B server and then I deployed the configuration. It went through fine. I am not sure why the B2B Server is behaving inconsistently.
    I am surprised as to how a simple restart can solve the issue.
    Please let me know if you have any inputs on this.
    Thanks

  • Namespace issue in a B2B scenario

    Hi all,
    I have an iDoc to iDoc  B2B scenario (R/3<->XI<->XI<->R/3),
    My partner has defined an iDoc extention and sent me the xsd.
    Now I have a problem in defining the interface because I don't have the same iDoc definition(different R/3 version) so I cannot import it into the IR, and I cannot define the message type and message interface as an external definition because the MI is in the iDoc reserved namespace.
    How can I solve this conflict ?
    Thanks,
    Elad.

    Hi Elad (or Ofir?),
    my idea was to change temporary connection data for import from SAP system of SWKV. The question is, if you dont have connection to that system, how do you want to connect with XI and how do you want to test?
    2. idea was: instead of imported idoc you just create a dummy interface in repository. The interfaces itselfes (and so the imported idocs) will not be validated by integration engine. Only if you use message mapping you really NEED a correct XSD schema.
    So something like R/3 idoc -> own interface -> any mapping except message mapping -> loaded idoc interface -> other R/3

    We have a scenario where external partners will transmit requests to our application, which will reply back with some results. Some of the other requirements for our application are: support for concurrency, scalability, high avail, etc.
    We feel that using EJBs to model our application will help us because the EJB container/appl server will handle security, transactions, etc. That's good - but, our problem is how would the external client applications communicate with us ?
    One solution would be: we expose the remote interfaces of our EJBs and the external applications code to that interface. But, this may mean that any time we change our interfaces, the external applications also need to be changed. This may be a pain ;-)
    But, what if the external applications send requests encapsulated in a mutually-agreed message format and receive responses via messages ? Yes, I am thinking about JMS. Our external applications can send messages to queues in our JMS provider. Our application picks up requests from a "request" queue and inserts results into a "results" queue. The external applications will obtain these results from this queue.
    I was going to spend more time researching on this, when I came across the JMS FAQ, which says that JMS is to be used only within an enterprise, while ebXML messaging is recommended for a B2B scenario.
    Before I discard my current line of thinking, I would like to get some input/advice/suggestions as to whether JMS will work in our scenario. If not, what kind of an architecture would help us ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Hi,
    I don't think you need discard your current thinking. Yes some JMS implementations are best placed in the enterprise however some are designed specifically for external connectivity and building business partner networks. Our own product ( Nirvana ) is one that has been designed for externally facing middleware connectivity. Our messaging functionality resides above a pluggable transport layer and supports sockets, SSL enabled sockets, HTTP and HTTPS transports. The whole proxy and firewall traversal problem is handled correctly. There is no requirement for a web server ( although we have produced an Apache module for reverse proxying ) running a suite of servlets.
    We are currently packaging a new release that provides a new JMS implementation as well as a P2P framework. All of which runs over our pluggable transport drivers. The P2P framework supports the concept of BOP's ( Business Object Proxies ) , this functionality allows you to create services that are directly accessible from pretty much anywhere.
    We would be more than happy to provide you with an early access distribution prior to us updating our web site. Please feel free to contact us.
