Conversion Agent Deployment ?

Hi
I have deployed all the required component for Conversion Agent in PI system using SDM and all successfully.
1. CM_JavaAPI.sda
2. CM_RemoteSupportInterface.sda
3. CM_TransformModule.sda
4. ConversionAgent.sda
But then how to deploy my project from Conversion Agent Studio to the PI server. I have went through some of the blog and i have to copy the project directory to ServiceDB in the PI server.
Could anyone help where i can found the ServiceDB in the PI server ?
Thank you and Best Regards
Fernand

Hello,
I am trying to create an agent on a linux server using Oracle Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.3. The user is created with root privilege on the server, by change /etc/sudoers entry username the same as the root entry. After that I tried to add host target by clicking Setup->Add Target->Add target Manually->Add Host Targets in the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
In the Add Target view: I clicked on add, then I entry host and platform information. After that I click next. Then I provided the Linux x86-64 : Installation Details for
Installation Base Directory, Instance Directory, Name Credential ... then click next. then click Deploy Agent.
In the Add Host Status view: stages Initialization and Remote Prerequisite Check successfully passed, but in the stage Agent Deployment, it failed in the Installation and Configuration phrase of the Agent Deployment stage.
The log content is shown below. There are numerous SEVERE Errors. But I don't have much experience in dealing with these type of problems. I thank you in advance for all the helps.

   Hello AkankshaSheoranKaler
We have done the following, but we aren't able to resolve this issue. Thank you for your help!
lf
“This happen if the software library is not accessible, readable or unmounted (if it is in shared file system).”
On Enterprise Manager server [nsn175-105], we did the following:
1. we modified /etc/exports to include this line: /export *(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
we start nfs service by executing command “service nfs start”.
On Management Agent server (nsn175-89), we verified that we are able to mount /export directory of EM server.
On Management Agent server, we started firefox browser and were able to run successfully https://nsn175-105.us.oracle.com:4904/empbs/genwallet
After making this change, we ran agent deployment again. We encountered the same error as shown above.
“You can fix the software library or you can download the agent bits in offline mode.”
For fixing the software library, select Setup->Provision and Patching->Offline Patching, then select Offline Patching radio button, download: https://updates.oracle.com/download/em_catalog.zip. Next upload this zip file.
“Try downloading the bits again”
We are not sure what agent bits are. Would you please explain this and provide procedure how we can download this?
(Here I have attempted to fix the software library, but I am new to Enterprise Manager and not sure how to interpret this).

Error in XI while using standard EDI Libraries of Conversion Agent

Hi,
We are planning to use conversion agent for EDI to XML conversion using standard libraries.
Right now working on EDI 867 and is working fine in my local system. But when we moved the contents
to XI server, we are getting the following error
*ConversionAgent/ServiceDB/TS_867_Product_Transfer_and_Resale_Report_Parser/TS_867_Product_Transfer
andResale_Report_parsers_segments.tgp(547): is_optional is not a known profile or PT*
Can anybody help us to solve this issue?
Regards,
Ravi

HI,
The module name must be localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.nw.cm.xi/CMTransformBean.
The parameter name must be TransformationName.
The parameter value must be the conversion agent project name deployed in serviceDB. In the above example, the Tutorial_3 project from the documentation in step 1 is used.
And also it was failed to update the log.See the folder access onceagain.

Error in Conversion Agent Module

I have tried to set up a scenario using conversion agent to transform a PDF file to XML. I followed the instruction steps in this blog <a href="/people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield:///people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield .But the communication channel can't work properly. I check the status of communication channel in RWB, and it gives following error message:

Conversion Agent Service Error

Hi I have tried to Install the CA engine, deployed the *.SCA files, Copied the Services SubDirectories onto ServicesDB of XI Server which is on Windows 32bit.I am able to run the 'CM_Console' and 'CM_Console testCME' tests with sucess.However when I use the channel to parse a pdf from a Mail Attachment the mail is picked & read however the payload is blank,the Comm Channel Monitor shows a error ,,
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't parse argument number Mehod:callConversionAgent ,
the services related to this interface are in the ServicesDB folder,and this service used to be running before on a previous UNIX server,Any Idea what needs to be changed while deploying the same Service on a Windows Server..?

Have you used Conversion Agent Module in Sender File Adapter --> Module, properly ?
Also check this module using CM_Console <Module Name>.
& check the result of your Conversion Agent Module there.

Message split using conversion Agent

Hello,
I am trying to use a mapper that splits a bulk message into small messages in conversion agent and deploy in file sender adapter module. I could write the small individual output messages. But they are written in results folder and I couldnt see them in XI environment when deployed.
Does CA support multiple output xmls? has anybody done that? plz help..

Steve,
So I have to split a message only in mapping? How do I then handle a bulk message? Can I not read a big message and split into individual messages using CA? In the Message monitoring, I wont see N number of messages for a one message that came in? Can you plz send some reference or help or sap notes which says it cant be split in Module? This is a very big business impact decision if that cant be done...
Thank you..

Seeburger EDI conversion Vs XI Conversion Agent EDI conversion?

We have implemented Seeburger's EDI solution at a client, and our another client wants to an EDI solution for them.
I cam across this weblog, and it is very interesting. I have some questions.
1. Does Converstion Agent support the converstion of all versions of native EDI X12 and EDIFACT to the corresponding XML verions, and vice versa.
2. What are the differences between Seeburger's and XI Conversion Agent's EDI soultions?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Karma,
SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. The Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.

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:

There are also a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.
inbound EDI to R3
1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.
outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system
1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)
2.use a file adapter3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.
have a look at this example:

Details on how to configure can be found on SDN

Message Split in Conversion Agent possible?

Dear All,
Now I am facing a problem of message split in conversion agent. I have a big file which contains lots of records, and the client wants to use conversion agent to split it and send to SAP XI. Is it possible? Is there anyone who has the experience on this? Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,
i have not done this thing....so i am not sure.....but i think you can use conversion agent and content conversion both in sender adapter because in conversion agent you will create a project for XML parsing which you will then deploy in XI and content conversion is a msg protocol of file adapter.
Thanks,

XI supports EDIFACT without SAP Conversion Agent and others.

Hello.
Somebody knows the best way to convert EDIFACT message using XI?
What I can do this without using softwares of conversion like:
- SAP Conversion Agent;
- Seeburger;
- BIC Mapper and others.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
See for converting the EDI XML to EDI you need to have a mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.
Here is the link for your reference:

Conversion Agent Studio in XI

Dear All,
I am working in a XI development project and here I have a scenario to convert the PDF document (Purchase Order) into XML document and use the same to create a sales order by using Process Integration.
For the above scenario, I found that we need to install Conversion agent studio in SAP PI system and use the same to generate the XML out of PDF document.
I have already deployed the software in SAP Netweaver. Now I have no idea how to use this software and where I will get this in my SAP NW system.
Many thanks & Best regards,
Arun

Conversion Agent and the module processor

Hi,
i have to make an offer for a client of ours. Therefore i was thinking to propose the conversion agent for developing a process module into the inbound communication channel in the XI-Scenario.
But i think i understand sth wrong or does this module substitute the normal mapping inside the XI?!
Can someone give me a hand?!
thx in advance

Jens,
Conversion Agrent is used to convert non XMl data into XML and vice versa.
For example it can read a PDF, EXCEL and conevrt it into XMl and also convert XML into EDI formats etc etc.
You use the conversion agent studio to develop the conversion mapping and then deploy it as a module. From the comm channel you call the Conversion Agrent Module which in turn runs on its own Engine and does the conversion for you.
So, if possible, you can also use conversion agent to actually read your source and create iyt in the format of the target and thgerbey replace Mapping. But, it all depends on the feasibility of what you are trying to do.

Bhavesh
