Configuring IDOC Listener on MII 12.1

Hi,
I had a basic question around the configuration.
This is from 12.1 help:
"The SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA) server is used to connect to SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) to receive remote function calls (RFC) and IDocs. You can use the asynchronous HTTP interface to post data to SAP MII for asynchronous transaction processing."
In this regard is it mandatory to first configure SAP JRA on NW and then proceed with the IDOC specific config both on the R/3 as well as NW side?
The reason I ask this is that we are currently struggling with this config on 12.1.8 (build 30) where the BASIS folks are observing that the system hangs when they try to add enteries to the XMIIIDOC component . Before going through with the IDOC config they made sure that the JRA is configured and followed the steps as mentioned in the 12.1 installation guide under "Configuring JRA for JRA Actions" & "Cloning the default JRA Config" sections.They are simultaneously also following up in the NW forums to find a solution.
Additionally I had another question (this one's specifically for MIke Appleby ). Would one have to follow similar config steps as IDOC when configuring the RFC listener , atleast from the NW CE perspective? We are trying to download Control Recipes from R/3.
Thanks
Udayan

Hi Udayan,
Yes, the configuration for the RFC Listener is essentially the same as the IDoc Listener, except the binding is different (do not change either type from the default values and you should be fine).
The differences between the two Listener types are really on the ECC side. The installation instructions for Batch Manufacturing included the RFC Listener setup. Keep meaning to write a separate document for RFC Listeners, but haven't yet.
One general note of caution for all readers:
Do not reuse ProgIDs from an IDoc Listener in an RFC Listener and vice versa. Only use a unique ProgID once (and deleting them from one Listener or MII server to use them elsewhere is generally not advisable).
Roughly 90% of the tickets entered for IDoc Listeners with MII are because of ProgIDs used in more than one place.
Regards,
Mike

MII 12.1 and IDoc listener

Hi.
I have been trying to setup an idoc listener in MII 12.1, but can not figure out where in NWA to do this an how.
Have anyone tried that? The help file might not be updated on this point.
BR
Poul.

Hi.
Thanks, I have found this location but could not se anything happening. To start with i missed the parameter setting MaxReaderThreadCount and needed to restart the listener.
Now I get something in the log but my username and password is not working..
Thanks a lot for this

Updated IDoc Listener document

Hi All,
There is a new document for building an IDoc listener using MII 12.0 and ECC 6.0. This will hopefully reduce confusion for those using the documents meant for use with xMII 11.5 and ERP R/3. Please let me or Diana Hoppe know your comments and suggestions.
Since there are so many different ALE configurations possible, we know that we can't address them all. Nor was that our intention. We wanted to provide a template and reasonable starting point for building a simple Listener. If our simple model does not work, you may need to bring an ALE expert into the picture. We hope that it proves useful to some of you out there.

IDOC Listener for 12.1 to ECC 6.0 is now available

[IDoc Listener|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/a02bc706-15f2-2c10-1aab-a1927ada11f0]
The ECC 6.0 side is virtually unchanged, but there were significant changes in NW and MII.
Enjoy! Or let me know if there are any areas that need improvement or clarification.
Thanks,

Hi,
There are no standard timeliness for the upgrade project. It depends upon number of factors like number of background processes, no of R3trans processes defined in configuration phase, Memory parameters etc. So, it is really difficult to give you an estimate for this. Best option is do the test upgrade, so that you will get an idea how much time it will take.
Also, If you want to migrate your existing system to new hardware then I would suggest you to install your system as unicode system on new hardware as a result you can save a lot of time because of unicode conversion in CUUC.
Thanks

Problem in IDOC Receiving on MII

Hi
I am using MII Version 12.1.4 Build(46). We have configured IDOC in SAP ECC, SAP Netviewer and in MII.
We are able to generate iDoc from ECC but we are not able to receive it on MII Message Monitor.

Manoj,
The underlying NW CE installation must also be at SP3 (minimum). Please check and let me know if you already have the update. The IDoc Listener configuration changed a bit from 12.0 to 12.1 so there may be some other modifications needed.

Mike

Where can I find IDOC Listener (xMII 12.05) .It is not in DataServices.

Hi all,
I can not find IDOC Listener in Data Services in xMII version 12.05.
Where can I find the IDOC Listener? Must I set up it first? Or must I do some configurations for IDOC Listener?
Thanks.

Cemil,
in MII 12.0.x you will find the Listener under Message Services -> Message Listener.
If you need to run a transaction after receiving a IDOC, than you need also to configure
a Rule under Message Services -> Processing Rule Editor.
Under the link below you will find the Documentation for Message Services:
http://wbhelp.sap.com/manufacturing/xmii_120/en/45/aa5d17b8f52e78e10000000a155369/frameset.htm

IDoc Listener connecting to a clustered SAP

We have SAP MII V12.1 loaded to Netweaver CE 7.11 EHP1, and want to connect one of the Resource Adapters (an iDoc Listener in this case) to a clustered SAP environment by connecting to a message server / system ID / logon group combination.
I can successfully connect to a specific application server using server name / port number, but these don't exist within the clustered environment.
When I point to the message server, I can get the iDoc Listener to sucessfully register a connection to the RFC destination, but it does not receive any iDocs when they are pushed out.
Note that traditionally, I have used XMIIIDOC01 as a "Resource Adapter" within NW, and configured it to point to a "ServerName" and "PortNumber", but as mentioned these do not exist within a clustered environment.
Has anybody ever managed to connect XMIIIDOC01 (or similar resource) to a clustered SAP environment, by pointing to a message server / logon group?
I have been able to successfully configure a new JRA by cloning a "JCA Connection Factory", and call BAPI's etc, but now I want to be able to receive iDocs.
To be honest, I'm not overly familiar with the NW architecture, nor the relationship between
1. Resource Adapter
2. JCA Resource
3. JCA Connection Factory
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Regards
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
Were you able to figure out what the relationship is between those 3 components? If so could you post what you have learned here?

IDOC Listener not calling BLS Transaction

All,
I am running xmii 11.5.4. I have a single IDOC Listener configured with a Routing Rule for Message Type = "PROCESS_MESS_DOWNLOAD". The Routing Rule is defined to trigger a BLS called "TEST_BLS". The Listener is configured with the BLS Input Parameter.
The Listener processes the incoming message by writing the XML file to the defined Path with no problems.
The issue is the BLS Transaction will not trigger. The Transaction has a single Transaction Property of data type XML with no default value defined.
I have tried using a simple Transaction with nothing but an Event Logger or XML Trace actions to verify the Transaction is being executed. But nothing occurs.
I have viewed the General Log and see no errors or warnings or fatal log entries.
The Transaction works fine manually from inside Logic Editor and even runs from a URL invokation.
Any ideas of what to look for or try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

Udayan,
The Transaction consists of only an Event Logger Action and an XML Tracer Action. Neither of these are apparently executing. No event is logged and no entry is made to the XML Tracer file. The Transaction has a Transaction Property defined as stated in my first post.
I have noticed through trial and error that the IDOC Listener only works with the asterick message type. The actual message type of the IDOC is evidently not being read by the Listener. The IDOC being created is coming from a PPPI Process Message. The first few lines are:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PROCESS_MESS_DOWNLOAD>
<INPUT>
<CLIENT>200</CLIENT>
</INPUT>
<TABLES>
<MSEL>
<item>
<MSID>100000000000000537</MSID>
Thanks,
Chuck

IDOC Listener Exception

Hello ,
I configured an IDOC Listener in xMII to execute a transaction when it recieves an IDOC in routing rules. But when an IDOC is sent to xMII, it is saved to "\Lighthammer\JCO\Output" folder but the transaction is not executed. And i am getting an exception
"error making call to xacute java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort:" .
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Hi,
The transaction is working fine. I tested it manually.
I saw the error in the general log of xMII. This is really a weird behaviour. I am using xMII 11.5.1 b54.
This is the exception i got :

IDoc Listener Settings

Hi,
We have our SAP server in some other country and we access that SAP through the following settings in SAP Logon pad
SID : XF5
Group/Server : xpxcp5.xxx.dom.corp
system # : 09
router : /H/9.99.89.32/H/23.23.23.2/S/3297/H/
In this case what values i should specify in iDoc Listener Configuration.
server property : gwhost and in ahost of
I tried all the combinations and ran out of ideas that I can think off.
If some one can help me that will great.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

ahost = /H/<saprouter IP>/H/<erp IP>
The xMII IDOC listener is implemented via SAP JCO. The SAP JCO documentation explains those parameters a little better than the xMII docs. This <a href="http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/forum/intface/messages/4132.html">thread</a> is where we got our answer - perhaps it will help you also.

How to configure JMS listener in separate jvm

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forums so please let me know if iam making any mistake.
I have 2 instances of tomcat running on different port numbers. I am using apache ActiveMq as my message broker for sending the jms message using queue. Code for sending the message is present in a servlet. So when I run that servlet message gets sent.
In my other tomcat i retrieve this jms message. But for me issue is this messsage gets retrieved only if i write this code in a servlet and I run that servlet.
Is there any way where i can configure a listener for my class present in tomcat 2. So that when message gets sent that piece of code gets triggered automatically and I can read that message.

Sounds like you want basic JMS message consumer functionality.

Changing the name of the PC, I cannot configure the listener

Hello,
I use
Windows 7 64 bit
Apex 4.1
Glass Fish server
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
I have changed the name of my PC ( for it contained "-" and "_") Then I did the following changes:
I changed the name of my PC in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora and "Hosts" file (in windows\system32\drivers\etc).
When I try to configure the listener, I get webpage saying Internal Error.
How can I reconfigure it again ????
Regards,
Fateh

Hello Fateh,
I think there are two options on how to reconfigure. In both cases, you'll have to locate your apex-config.xml .
h3. Option 1: Edit the apex-config.xml
h4. Steps
<ol>
<li>stop APEX Listener
<li>edit apex-config.xml (change hostname for the database connection)
<li>start APEX Listener
</ol>
h3. Option 2: Delete the apex-config.xml
h4. Steps
<ol>
<li>stop APEX Listener
<li>delete apex-config.xml
<li>start APEX Listener
<li>re-run the configuration process by calling http://<yourAPEXListenerHost>:<port>/apex/listenerConfigure
</ol>
