Cross references for Partner Profiles

I have a requirement that I am not sure if is possible to do it, we have an IDOC/ALE integration with a middleware called Inovis TLE. From the side of TLE the communication with SAP is through Trading Partner that has to be created for every partner profile.
According to Inovis guys is a very tedious process to create a Trading Partner, In this implementation we are using an internal number for partner and every time when we have to test in a different environment the number of the business partner changes and it is necessary to create new trading partners.
We want to create a cross table in between for messages inbound and outbound, the purpose of this is to send and receive to the same trading partner number and control this with a Z table.
Inbound - the user exit programs takes the incoming trading partner and lookup at the cross reference file and replace it with the new SAP trading partner
Outbound - the user exit programs takes the SAP customer or trading partner and lookup at the cross reference file and replace the new sap trading partner and replace it with the old trading partner
I dont know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Recently we have acheived the same requirement.
Here instead of maintianing/changing partner number in field RCVPRN.
You can use the field RCVLAD ( Logical address of recipient ).
The required partner number fill in this whle creating IDOC and use this as required.
By this the issue should be resolved.
otherwise you need to maintain TVARVC entry and utilize it.

Ramesh.

No details getting populated in Log for Partner Profile Generation...

Hi,
When I create a distribution model in BD64 and then go to environment -> Generate Partner profiles, enter all the required parameters like model view, type, id, version, packet size and all necessary stuff, but when I execute I get a message in log for partner profile generaation saying, "No messages have been defined for the selection conditions in the model".
Can someone tell me as how can I eliminate this error ?
Thanks.

Hi,
When you create a model view, first you have to save the entries and then generate partner profiles.
This should help

Consider cross references for comparison

Hi All,
I am using EMFCompare.createDefaultScope(EObject, EObject) for comparing a tree structure. That tree structure contains cross references as the least child node. These cross references are not considered within the scope of matching phase so all the cross references will be considered as differences.
How to consider cross references for comparison and make them behave in the same way as other EObjects?

"cross references" don't help define what you are trying to do; but I guess your "two trees" are actually more than two, referencing other trees elsewhere.
"EMFCompare.createDefaultScope" is deprecated. you should simply be instantiating the DefaultComparisonScope. It takes not only "EObject" instances, but accepts "Notifiers". This means you can and should be using "Resource"s as in your case, or better yet, "ResourceSet"s.
What you need to do is properly load your resources in separate resourceSets (one for right, one for left, one for the common ancestor if there is one) and use that as the comparison scope.

How to Maintain Surrogate Key Mapping (cross-reference) for Dimension Tables

Hi,
What would be the best approach on ODI to implement the Surrogate Key Mapping Table on the STG layer according to Kimball's technique:
"Surrogate key mapping tables are designed to map natural keys from the disparate source systems to their master data warehouse surrogate key. Mapping tables are an efficient way to maintain surrogate keys in your data warehouse. These compact tables are designed for high-speed processing. Mapping tables contain only the most current value of a surrogate key— used to populate a dimension—and the natural key from the source system. Since the same dimension can have many sources, a mapping table contains a natural key column for each of its sources.
Mapping tables can be equally effective if they are stored in a database or on the file system. The advantage of using a database for mapping tables is that you can utilize the database sequence generator to create new surrogate keys. And also, when indexed properly, mapping tables in a database are very efficient during key value lookups."
We have a requirement to implement cross-reference mapping tables with Natural and Surrogate Keys for each dimension table. These mappings tables will be populated automatically (only inserts) during the E-LT execution, right after inserting into the dimension table.
Someone have any idea on how to implement this on ODI?
Thanks,
Danilo

Hi,
first of all please avoid bolding something. After this according Kimball (if i remember well) is a 1:1 mapping, so no-surrogate key.
After that personally you could use Lookup Table
http://www.odigurus.com/2012/02/lookup-transformation-using-odi.html
or make a simple outer join filtering by your "Active_Flag" column (remember that this filter need to be inside your outer join).

Wrong logical system for partner profile

Dear gurus,
we have been sending ORDERS Idocs for some time now, using to a logical system called MSC_MM_PRD, a RFC connection called MSC_MM_PRD and a port for Idoc processing called A000000003.
Now, we would like to send ORDERS Idocs to another logical system. We created that new logical system called MES001, a RFC connection (MES) and a Port for IDoc processing using that RFC destination (A00000004).
After that we maintained a partner profile for the new logical system MES001 with outbound parameters for ORDERS Idocs. So far, so good.
But then, I had to create a new message type for purchase orders to use that new connection (called ZEDI) and I guess that is where I made a mistake: I copied the existing message type for the old ALE connection and changed some parameters (like name etc.).
Now, when I create a new purchase order and add a message of the new type and save the order, I get an error message:
EDI: Partner profile outbound process code not available
Message no. E0335
Diagnosis
An outbound partner profile could not be found with the following key:
/MSC_MM_PRD/LS//EF/ZEDI//
[u2026]
Procedure
Please check the outbound partner profiles for the assignment of the process code:
As you can see, SAP tries to find an outbound partner profile using the old logical system (MSC_MM_PRD) and the new message type (ZEDI) as a key and obviously fails.
Can anyone please tell me why SAP uses the old logical system and how I can change that?
Cheers
Alicia

Hi,
problem was, that we had not created a proper distribution model for the message type (BD64). After we did that, it worked fine.

Regenerating ports for Partner Profiles and Source System (RSA1)

Hello all you SAP gurus,
During a recent backcopy we have an issue after updating Logical System names using BDLS. This has updated the Partner Profiles (WE20) correctly.
BUT
These partner profiles are trying to use ports (WE21) that have been mistakenly deleted. But if we try to recreate the ports we get the message
-"Choose another name! Name range reserved!"-
This specific port is referenced in outbound parameters. Perhaps this is stopping the change?
We could create new ports and hook them up to the partner profiles, but I'm concerned that there might be other locations where the deleted ports are referenced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi J,
You can try and disconnect and re-connect the BW System to R/3. That would force the recreation of the Partner Profile.
Take a look at the connection data in table RSBASIDOC, write down the parameters, especially the IDoc Type.
In SE37, run function RSAP_BIW_DISCONNECT_40 and specify parameters for BW System.
Then run RSAP_BIW_CONNECT_40 and specify those parameter again for the BW System.
This will recreate the Partner Profiles. Then check the assigned ports and see if you still have the same issue. Just make sure the RFC connection is set correctly and working in SM59 before doing all this.
In any case, you can create new ports in WE21 and allow the system to assign the numbers automatically and you won't have any issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Luis

Hyperlinks or Cross references for Figures and Tables in PDF.

Hi All,
I've created the Hyperlinks for the Figures and tables using the Text Anchor options in Hyperlink Destination.

How I set the properties of the Destination object to show us the exact Image when clicking on the hyperlink text.
Thanks in Advance for any help !.

Cross Reference, Paragraph Style conflict?

I'm created an epub file and have a cross reference for one of my chapter titles. When I export it to ADE the final product has the cross reference in the file but the paragraph style for the text that I linked lost all of it's styling somehow. The paragraph style is supposed to be centered and have space after it but it is completely gone but the code is still in the xhtml file.
I have opened the xhtml file and cannot see where the issue is. Has anyone else had this problem exporting from CS4? If so, how do you fix it?
Thank you so much!

According to the FM7 Help, the variables for background text frame use might be:
<$paranumonly[paratag]>
to pick up the first instance on a page, and
<$paranumonly[+,paratag]>
to pick up the last.
The "+," bit is the key. I've never tried it myself.
This presumably also assumes that the paras of interest all have the same format name.

Limitation on number of partner profiles

Hi,
I am working on SAP Retail implementation. As you know, in SAP Retail, we consider each store as customer and there will be seperate partner profile of type customer for each store.This is for integrating SAP with point of sale (store).
Since number of stores are more, around 1000, i feel it's not good solution to create 1000 partner profiles. Please let me know whether there is any alternative for this and also whether there is any limitation on number of partner profiles that we can create.

There is no limitation for partner profile creation

TOC and Cross reference bookmarks

Hi. I recently finished work on a book that had front matter containing a brief TOC and a detailed TOC. The book also contained individual TOCs at the beginning of each chapter.
I updated all numbering across the book files before generating the TOCs in the front matter, then generated the brief and detailed TOCs using my TOC Styles. However, I assigned cross references for the individual chapter TOCs. May not have been the best choice.
Because there was special styling for some of the front matter TOC entries that wasn't easily specified using just the TOC Styles, I cut and pasted groups of entries from the generated TOC on the pasteboard into a new frame on the page. I checked in Story Editor to ensure that the invisible markers for the TOC entries had been copied into the new frame.
When I exported the files to PDF, the TOC entries no longer pointed to the correct pages. They simply pointed to the first page of the PDF when clicked. Furthermore, no bookmarks showed up the TOC entries in the Bookmarks panel, even though I had "Create PDF Bookmarks" checked in my TOC Styles.
I have three questions, then:
--Is there any way to reclaim the behavior of the TOC bookmarks, and their display in the Bookmarks list of the PDF, if the entries are copied and pasted into a new frame in InDesign, without doing this manually in Acrobat Pro?
--Is there any way to get cross references to display as bookmarks in a PDF, assuming that I needed to make individual PDFs of each chapter, without doing this manually in Acrobat Pro?
--I'm betting that all files should be exported from InDesign as a single PDF in order for all TOC and cross reference links to work properly, without manual intervention in Acrobat Pro? If so, and manual intervention is required, is this accomplished by cataloging/indexing in Acrobat Pro?
I need to be able to pass this information along to a publisher who is now requiring all of their compositors to submit bookmarked PDFs with their printer files. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but I would like verification from the pros here. Thanks!

Cross references in structured documents

Hi there,
Perhaps someone of you has a tip for me regarding cross references in structured FrameMaker.
The problem we have at the moment:
We were working with FM8 structured. But - as we worked with FM documents most of the times - very often the xml files are not on the latest version.
When we now want to update these documents with FM9 and save them as xml documents, there are lot's of errors that the attribute type is not defined for the element fm-xref.
Perhaps some of you know this error message.
At the moment we do exchange all those cross reference for new ones.
Of course, when we have a xml document which contains the latest status, this is not a problem.
You just open the xml file and save it as FM9 document. No problem with any cross reference...
But what can I do with those FM8 documents?
Would it help to use some application just for fixong the cross references in those (if possible)?
This definitly seems to be an error in FM itself.
Is there perhaps some fix for FM9 I don't know about?
And how about FM10: Will I have the same problems, if we switch to that version?
Regards,
Anna

Hi Van,
I fear, I expressed myself not very clear. I try again.
We have DITA structured documents. However, lastest status often was saved in the FM document. The xml documents often are not representing the final status.
When I open the FM8 document in FM9 everything looks pretty good.
But: When I want to save the document as xml with FM9, I'm getting errors regarding the cross references.
The cross references which were created in FM8 - doesn't matter, if a valid xml document or a FM document - always look the same.
(BTW: I don't think that in structured documents cross references always refer to elemts with a unique ID.)
example from xml which was created with FM8:
<xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" type = "fm:Chapter">"..."</xref>
the only difference in the FM document is that the element is called fm-xref there, as it's not an external url.
in FM9 those cross references are totally different.
example from xml which was created in FM9:
<xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" class = "- topic/xref">"..."</xref>
When saving the FM documents with the cross references from the first example as xml in FM9 (we don't have FM8 anymore), I get an error that the attribute type is not defined.
When having a xml document that was last changed with FM8 and opening/ saving this with FM9, there is no error.
At the moment I do not know how to solve this issue.
And also I'm not sure weather the same problem might accour again with change from FM9 to FM10 or else.
It is a great effort to make new cross references just because we upgraded from FM8 to FM9. (And of course always at most inconvienent time.)
As we are thinking of upgrading to FM10, it would be good to know before, if there are any similar issues to expect.
Or if there is an fix for FM9 or FM10 to avoid this at all.
Regards,
Anna

Generation Partner Profiles from ALE Distribution Model

Hi ABAP/EDI experts,
I am a trainee. I am getting training from Pvt consultancy. I am working on SAP Demo systems.
I am trying t generate an IDoc using ALE method.
IN SALE window, I created two logical systems,ZVK_SS_800 and ZVK_SS_820. I assigned them to two clients 800 and 820 respectively.
In SM59 i created an RFC connection ZVK_RFC004 of type 3. Here I gave the client Number as 820. ( I'm not sure what to give)
In BD64, I created an ALE Model and added the message type MATMAS with Sending and Receiving Logical systems.
From the Environment drop down menu , selected generate partner profiles and executed with defaults checked. ( Transfer IDocs Immediatley and Trigger Immediately).
I got the following log.
Log For Partner Profile Generation:
Partner:
In Green Color
Partner ZVK_SS_800 as partner has been Created ( Sending System)
Partner ZVK_SS_820 as partner has been Created (Receiving System)
Port:
In Red Color
Port Cloud not be Created
RFC destination ZVK_SS_820 not specified for system ZVK_SS_820
Enter the RFC destination and Restart the generation.
Please help me to fix this probelm.
Any kind of Help will be surely rewarded.
Thanks,

From SM59, you can Test your RFC Connections between Clients. I would do this from Client 800 and test the Connection to Client 820. If that checks okay, I would then try SM59 on Client 820. Check the RFC Connection from Client 820 to Client 800. Be sure you have your Logical Systems defined on Both Clients. You can also double click on your Error Message to see if there is a Long Text Available that might give you further information as what needs to be corrected. I am not an Expert in this area, but have setup several ALE Models for my Variant Configuration without any problems. If you could include your EMail Address on your Business Card I could EMail you my instructions. Your Basis person may also be able to help you based upon your Error Message.

EDI: Partner profile inbound not available Message no. E0337

Hi Friends,
I am facing very wiered issue for incoming vendor frieght invoice. When the IDOC is sent to SAP from the edi subsystem, it gets posted with status 56 and error message
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
Message no. E0337
Diagnosis
An inbound partner profile could not be found with the following key:
/0040000010/LI/VN/INVOIC/MM///
This involves the key fields of table EDP21:
-SNDPRN partner number of sender
-SNDPRT partner type of sender
-SNDPFC partner function of sender
-MESTYP logical message type
-MESCOD logical message code
-MESFCT logical message function
-TEST test flag
I have created the partner profile in WE20 for Partner type LI, partner role VN and process code INVL, message type INVOIC, message code MM. I have also checked the entry in TABLE EDP21 and the entry exists.
When I open the IDOC in WE19, and click on standard inbound TAB it says partner profile not maintianed, however when i click on the control record it opens a dialog box, where we have all the entries for partner profile and when I just click on any field in the dialog box and click continue and when again click on standard inbound it say partner profile maintained.
None of the data is changed in the IDOC control record, I just click on any field and it finds the partner profile.
Please let me know your thoughts, what could be possible reason and a solution.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I am facing the same problem with a different message type.
But same effect. I can copy the IDoc with WE19 and it will process nicely, completely unchanged.
Have you found the reason for this?
Thanks,
Florian

How to Create a Cross Reference of an item in an E-Business Suite

Hi ,
I need Help ,how to Create a cross reference of an item in an E-Business Suite
Regards
Srini

Hello Srini,
Prerequisite to create a cross reference for an item in eBusiness suite is that the item should be created in the master organization and assigned to your organization.
Navigate to screen Inventory > Items > Cross references. Enter a name for your cross reference.
Then, click on Assign : a screen is opened. In this screen, you can enter Item and Cross reference value. Note that a cross reference can be defined for an organization or common to all organizations.
Another kind of cross reference you can create is Customer item (it defines how a customer designates your item). It can be defined through screen
Inventory > Customer item > Customer Item and Customer item cross references.
Please refer to Inventory user guide for more detail about this functionalities.

Relinking Cross-References after Renaming Documents

I have a problem where I have created a book containing 14 chapters. Each chapter has a reference to the language of the book i.e. GB in the document title, we now want to translate the documents, so have copied the book, and chapters, renamed the document with an FR in the document titles, ready to send of to the translators.
The trouble is all the cross references are still linking to the GB book. Is there a way of re-linking all the cross references to the FR documents? Or is it a case of going to each cross-reference and re-linking to the same piece of text but in the FR book.
Can anyone help?

No help here, at least no help in providing some magic. Cross-file cross-references seem to depend on the name of the file that contains the cross-reference "destination" - the text that's captured and displayed at the "source" - the location where the cross-reference is inserted. I'm using quotation marks here because some folks think of the stuff you capture as the cross-reference source, and what's displayed at the cross-reference insertion point is the destination in their view. IOW, they're opposite uses of the term. InDesign's nomenclature is based on the hyperlink model, where you create a destination somewhere and you act on it by pointing to that destination from where you insert the link to it, AKA the source of the action. At least that's my guess.
So, changing file names loses the connection.
Internal cross-references - within a single document file - are maintained when the file's name is changed.
You can relink cross-file cross-references for files that are moved to a new folder. In the Cross-References panel, select a "missing" cross-reference that displays a question mark in a red circle, then from the panel's fly-out menu, choose Relink Cross-Reference, and browse the directory. If all the cross-file cross-references in the file whose cross-references point to files in one directory, relinking should restore all the links. If some cross-references point to files moved to other directories, you'll need to browse to each of those directories.
With a book, if all the missing cross-file cross-references for all the book's component files were all moved to the same folder, relinking one missing reference should relink all. If some missing cross-references point to files moved elsewhere, you'll need to browse for each of those directories.
