Datatypes for File to File Scenario

Dear all,
i have a question concerning a file to file to file scenario in XI.
I simply just want so send a RTF-file to XI via FTP adapter and store it on a different FTP server according to the file name. I do not need any information for the content of the file. So I do not want to perform a File Content Conversion.
I know that it is it possible to implement this scenario without using the integration engine. But for monitoring purposes I'd like to do it anyway.
My question ist, what kind of message types I will have to choose. From my understanding, the file adapter should just store the content of the file in the payload as a binary data. So does it matter what kind of data type for the message interfaces i choose in integration builder. Of course, a message mapping is not required,
Best regards
Florian

HI,
In File-XI-File scnearios, you need to have Sender File Communication Channel to pick the file and Receiver File Communication Channel to send the file.
You can create a Data Type something like this
<DataTypeFile>
<Row> ...</Row>
</DataTypeFile>
Also look into this Blog-
XI in the role of a FTP
FTP receiver adapter does not transfer (STORE) file

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

Regarding Background Job scheduling for file to file scenario

Hi Guru's
Good morining all of u
I have one doubt on ...
can we do background job scheduling for file to file scenario?
Please give me response as early as possible.
thanks and regards
sai

background jobscheduling for file adapter...
you can schedule the file adapter according to your requirement as follows:
In the Communication Channel Monitoring Locate the link Availability Time Planning, In Availability Time Planning, choose the Availability time as daily and say create, give the time details, select the communication channel in your case file adapter , goto the Communication Channels tab and filter and add the respective channel, save it

Partner Profile for file to IDOC scenario

Hi experts,
I am doing file to Idoc scenario. I did the ALE configuration steps between XI and r/3. For sender (ThirdParty) system, I defined Business system. While defining partner profiles in WE20 I got confused, whether to Give XI logical system Name or Third party logical system name. Please clarify..........
Thanks
Manoj

Hi,
>>I defined Business system. While defining partner profiles in WE20 I got confused, whether to Give XI logical system Name or Third party logical system name. Please clarify..........
in most cases you will only use one logical system in WE20
this will be XI's logical system - and you can route all the traffic
via this logicail system - this is the most popular case
for more about IDOCs and XI have a look at my book:

Alert Configuration for File to IDoc scenario

I have followed Alerts : Step-by-Step /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/06/28/xipi-faq-frequently-asked-questions
and configured Alerts for file to IDoc scenario.
But the problem is, I did not notice any alerts being generated. I could notice the IDocs being posted to destination system. So I was going through Alerts-Troubleshoute Guide. In intension to maintain monitoring level, I clicked Configuration tab. But I did not notice my sender and receiver system there to maintain.
Can any body help me to detail out the procedure to add sender and receiver systems to maintain the monitoring level?
Regards,
Suraj Kumar

hi Suraj,
WHich SP version are you on??
If you are on Sp14 or above, then unfortunately, Michal's Trouble Shooting for Alerts will not help.
From SP14 onwards, activation of end to end monitoring is not needed for Alerting. Refer to this note 870232 for this info.
Next, to test if your Alerts have been defined correctly, go to SE38. In the program , type RSALERTTEST and then click on EXECUTE button ( F8 ). In the next window, it will ask you for your ALERTCATEGORY. Just give the name of your ALERT CATEGORY and click EXECUTE.
If you have configured your alerts correctly, you will receive a message that tells ALERT IS GENERATED and will give the ALERT ID.
Now, go to your Run TIme workbench and then select ALERT INBOX and see if you have got the ALERT message in your ALERT INBOX.
If this is working fine, then the last step, implement the note 913858.

Lookup issue for File to Idoc scenario-- Urgent Pls.

Hi All,
Iam doing File to IDoc scenario with one file --> any of 3 R/3 systems.
Routing has to be done dynamically using a lookup file, based on the incoming GLN code and last character of the Order Reference number.
The last character of the Order ref Num will have A,B or C.
Where, ' A' for R/3 152 Client
             ' B' for R/3 142 Client
             'C' for R/3 132 Client.
1. PlantGLN_Routing lookup file :
DestinationSystem,   Plant GLNCode,       Partner Number,
A,                            5000243000473,         GDKDVRC152,
B,                            5000243000473,         GDKDVRC142,
C,                            5000243000473,         GDKDVRC132,
A                                 500034000487           GDKDVRC152,
B                                 500034000487           GDKDVRC142,
C                                 500034000487           GDKDVRC132,
By Using DestinationSystem and Plant GLN Code as lookup key --> I need to get the value of partner system.
2. IdocCtrlLookup
Purpose: To read the IdocCtrlLookup file to populate the Idoc control segment
Now based on the partner system from previous table --> I need to get the details of Sender Port , Sender Partner Type , Sender Partner Function , Sender Partner Number , Rx Port , Rx Partner Type , Rx Partner Function , Rx Partner Number.
Please help me how can acheive this scenario with the help of lookups.
Its very urgent.
Regards
Krupakar.

HI,
Here you would have to use one mapping for dynamic routing , based on this create IM and use it in receiver determination.
the another mapping is general to file to idoc.
see the dynamic routing link here
Dynamic Configuration of Some Communication Channel Parameters using Message Mapping -
/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping
Also if you know the field name the context object can be defined for partner no that can be used in receiver determination in condition. to particular partner no in receiver determination.

For file to IDOC scenario, do i need to make a partner profile in XI ?

for a file--->XI--->IDOC scenario, do i need to make a partner profile in XI(for the R/3 system which is going to receive the IDOC),
or only a port maintenance in idx1 will do.....

hi Sudheer,
yes u need to maintain partner profile in R/3

I am new to XI, just got trained and I want to practice file to file scenario. I am able to access ID and IR.
I would like to know whether any port have to be enabled for this scenario????
I got list of ports from the basis people to enable the ports. could you tell me for which scenarios these ports have to be enabled:
Http Port            50000
ABAP Port         8000
Msg server port 3901
SDM Port            50018

Hi Kiruthiga ,

--> Not required ..but you ask for FTP site if want to do file to file scenario using FTP . Default FTP port is 21 though ..
using got list of ports from the basis people to enable the ports.
---> tell them stop sending information which is not required..This is not the way of "Delivering. High Performance. "
could you tell me for which scenarios these ports have to be enabled:
Http Port 50000
ABAP Port 8000
Msg server port 3901
SDM Port 50018
File Sharing Port 445
P4 port 50004
Enqueue server port 3201
Dispatcher port 3200
Sql server Port 1433
Any material to regarding port details would also be helpful.
--> Friend not required...at this point. Though having knowledge is not a harm .

How can I include the Header Information....for a File to IDOC Scenario

Hi,
I made a File to IDOC Scenario with DEBMDM06 for MDM>XI>SAP R/3. The Header Information in the XML File which is at the XI end is Missing. For that reason In Tcode SXMB_MONI we are getting an Error that "HEADER Information Missing: Message should Start with EDI_DC40" i.e the Header Information.
My Question is that whether we can do some changes in the Message mapping Step in the Integration Repository. I HardCoded the Few mandatory Fields that were there but it Again gave me the Same Error as above.
Can you please Suggest some Solution for this. Since the data is Coming in from MDM part the Header information is not there but It actually Important as it has got all the Port Information.
Kindly Inform me some Solutions.
Thanks & Regards
Somnath

Hi Suraj,
Thanks for ur Reply, but Since we are Doing a File to IDOC Scenario the IDOC DEBMDM is on the Right Side in Message Mapping and as U know it is Mandatory to Map an IDOC on the Right Part. EDI_DC40 is coming as it is there in the IDOC but our XML File Does not have that. If we Don't Map then it Becomes RED, which is an Error.
Furthermore in the Receiver Agreement we have put the Necessary Details such as Sender Service and Receiver Service along with the IDOC Communication Channels.
Can U give as a Better Insight on this Note how to check the Header Part as it is mandatory to MAP.We also tried to HARDCODE it by putting those Values and Mapping them to a Constant but it is Giving the Same Error.
Thanks and Regards
Somnath

Error: 1:n multi-mapping using BPM for file to file scenario

Hi. Iu2019m trying to do 1:n multi-mapping using bpm scenario. I use file to file. Input file consists of many records and then I want many record to be transformed into many file at target system. I follow step in http://www.riyaz.net/blog/xipi-1n-multi-mapping-using-bpm/. However, I have a problem when file is retrieved in to XI. It doesnu2019t create any output file.
When I look at SXMB_MONI, it shows u201CNo object type found for the message Check that the corresponding process is activated.u201D Besides, it shows error message "Unable to perform action for selected message" when i clikc at PE in SXMB_MONI.
I have check at many previous posts with the same error message but still couldnu2019t solve it. I already activate my BPM and check that status in SXI_CACHE = 0. There is noting left in change list of my IR and ID.
Here is my design and configuration.
IR
Data Type: DT_file_split -> for both input and output file
Message Type: MT_file_split_sender, MT_file_split_receiver
Message Interface: SI_file_split_in, SI_file_split_out, SI_file_abs_source, SI_file_abs_target
Message mapping: MM_file_split for mapping MT_file_split_sender with MT_file_split_receiver
Interface mapping: OM_file_split
u2022 Source = SI_file_split_out
u2022 Target = SI_file_split_in

u2022 BPM to target system using interface SI_File_Abs_target
1 Interface determination:
u2022 from source system to BPM
u2022 Sender interface: SI_File_Split_Out
u2022 Receiver interface: SI_file_abs_source

u2022 Receiver Interface: SI_File_Split_In
u2022 Receiver Communication Channel: CC_File_Split
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Pavin

Hi,
Yes, thats the problem.
You are creating file from test tab of 1..N mapping .
In case of 1..N mappping in mapping Extra tags of messages are addded to the data.As shown here:-
Messages
 Message1
 MessageType
When you use this mapping to generate xml message then it will add additional tags for <Messages> and <Message1>, which is not correct. it should only have structure of you MT.
So remove start and end tag of <Messages> and <Message1> from your data file. Mentioned below in bold.
<xml......>
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_...>
</MT_...>
</Message1>
</Messages>
This should solve your problem.

Sami.

Setup for IDoc-XI-File scenario

Hi All,
Please provide info where can I find, step by step documentation for the basic setup on R/3 and XI areas, before start developing IDoc-XI-File or File-XI-IDoc scenarios.
Thank you,
Sree

Hi,
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You dont need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you dont have a sender agreement as you dont have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.
IDOC -> File scenario ref:
/people/prateek.shah/blog/2005/06/08/introduction-to-idoc-xi-file-scenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starters
File -> IDOC ->
/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping
(It concentrates on XSLT mapping but also gives an idea about the configuration part. Do go thru that, it might help you.)
To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:

Problem with Sender Agreement for EDI File to Idoc scenario

I'm configuring PI for EDI with Seeburger Adapter (Calling as a Module) and I'm having an issue with the Sender Agreement using File Adapter.
Process used is File to IDOC. EDI data will be picked up from VAN (Using existing FTP process rather than using Seeburger FTP) and stored in a folder which is being accessed by PI to send to R/3 to create orders.
All my inbound EDI will be stored in same folder which should be picked up by XI and distribute the same depending upon the respective scenario's in ID and respective mapping/config in IR.
The whole process IR & ID works fine and also creates Idoc in R/3, if I configure for one customer for EDI 850, but when I try to configure for second customer for same EDI 850 having same ANSIX12 version (V4010) as previous customer, I get stuck at the Sender Agreement part for this second customer because I use the same CC for File read for both the customers (Scenarios) and since there is a limitation with File Adapter "sender channel must not be assigned to more than one sender agreement ".
How can I create the Sender Agreement using the same CC for my other scenario?
I tried creating multiple CC for different scenario but when I place a test file for customer A, I see that its being picked up by both CC's.
Pl Advise.
Thanks!
PSR

You need to configure splitter as module in sender file adapter (classifier->bic->splitter) as well as define a message splitter(with partner number and Seeburger mapping) in Seeburger workbench.
Thank you for the reply Aamir,
Do you have any document which can guide me through the process?
Does Seeburger Workbench play any role here? because I'm not using See FTP adapter to connect to my VAN. We get the data from the VAN using FTP process but not using See FTP. I'm using BIC to generate an XSD and SDA file, rest everything is in XI using File to idoc and IDOC to file process.
Thx

Multiple Operations for File to IDoc scenario

Hi all,
I have a file to IDoc scenario where two IdocXML files (one for INSERT and one for CHANGE of Business Object) have to be picked up by file adapter and transfered to SAP System. In respect to the multiple operations PI 7.1 can handle I would like to create one Service Interface for the Business Object and two operations (INSERT and CHANGE).
Unfortunately I am not able to use the operation in the sender agreement, so I can't specify the comm-channel for the operations, only for the interface.
So, can I use multiple operations in a file scenario (respectively in a non Web Service scenario)??
Thanks a bunch,
Manfred

The scenario is pretty easy. I just want two different files to be read by one Comm Channel with one Sender Agreement.
They are both transferred to the same receiver. I just wanted to test one scenario using multiple operations.
In your blog you described that you should not use two operations with the same set of messages (synchronous/asynchronous). In my case both are asynchronous but I already tried it with one being sync and the other one async. Where did you actually get this information, it puzzles me a little since SAP does the same in its preconfigured Enterprise Services as far as I know.
In the Trace for pipeline step Interface determination in SXMB_MONI it says:
<Trace level="1" type="T">...There is no Interface Determination configured for receiver party and receiver service BS_RECEIVER</Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">Check conditions for (Inb: Party Srvc If) BS_RECEIVER SI_..._Out</Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">...valid InbIf without Condition: SI_..._Out</Trace>
<Trace level="2" type="T">Number of receiving Interfaces:1</Trace>
So it finds the Outbound Interface in Receiver side which is wrong since I specified the Inbound Interface in the Interface determination. Did anyone of you already encounter such a behaviour? I already deleted and recreated all routing objects but without any success.
Thanks,
Manfred
