Doubt on Idoc Adapter

Hi
I was going thru the help.sap for IDoc adapter.
Implementation Considerations
Only use the IDoc adapter to integrate SAP systems with the Integration Server if a scenario of this kind suits your requirements.
in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ab/bdb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
what does it really mean. I understand where the idoc adapter is placed and y no sender agreement is req. But this phrase in help.sap is confusing.
Can i take all ur help in understanding this?

Hi,
IDOC scenarios are used when you have to transfer business data TO or From SAP R/3 . Itz is still the most preferable solution. But if you want ackowledgements to be sent back for ex: a business data back can it be acheived through idoc >? No. That where rfc comes into picture. Itz only effective during assynchronous communication.
I suppose it was in this conext of application of a idoc adapter that was illistrated.
correct me if itz wrong

Doubt on Idoc adapter parameters

Hi ,
      I need one more clarification on Idoc adapter parameters :
1.while configuring for IDOC adapter in communication channel , we have an option
called "APPLY CONTROL RECORD VALUES FROM PAYLOAD" doubt arises here
what actually this mean,and if this check box is ticked what values will be taken from payload and where will be they applied?
                       Plz clarify answers will be definetely rewarded.
                                                                                Regards,

Hi vinod reddy ,
If u want to add values to the control record , u have to select the APPLY CONTROL RECORD VALUES FROM PAYLOAD checkbox in the communication channel. When a new communication channel of type IDoc is created, the flag is set by default. If the flag is not set, the
settings comply with XI 2.0
This following websites clearly clarifies u'r doubt with detailed description with fields :

Doubt about IDOC Adapter

Hi all,
i'm using idoc adapter for generating IDOCS from R/3, and my scenario is: IDOC->XI->File. this is working fine, in R/3 i've got partner profiles for diferent vendors(suppliers) and they are configured for create idoc message in R/3 and all this message are caught by XI from my scenario and generate the corresponding text file.
but now suppose that I need another scenario because i need to send purchase orders by mail instead file to some of my vendors in R/3. the scenario would be IDOC->XI->Mail.
for both cases i would use ORDERS05.
i can't undertand how XI knows wich scenario have to use, if there's nothing from R/3 that tells XI which scenario should be used.
thanks, Fabian.

Thanks for responses, I know what should i use to do what i wanted. but i've tried to make a condition in the receiver determination and it's giving me an error saying that 'No receiver could be determined'.
i've searched in other threads and i have seen that utilizes xpath to make conditions
what i have done is add a condition in Configured Receivers as '/p1:ZORDERS2/IDOC/EDI_DC40/RCVPRN = 0000010598'
because depending on the partner, i want to use either one or other adapter (file or mail)
do i have misedd something?

Doubt Regarding IDoc Adapter

Dear Gurus,
In IDoc to XML conversion scenarios, we never use Sender Communication Channel because the IDoc adapter sits on the ABAP stack and the conversion is done by the IDoc adaper in the Integration Server.
Then why in case of the reverse scenario , i.e. XML to IDoc conversion we use Receiver Communication channel and the IDoc adapeter explicitly? Why can't that IDoc Adpater that sits on the ABAP stack convert the xml file into IDoc format?

Hi Shweta,
the reason for this is:
The adapter at the inbound channel is located before the Integration Server pipeline and calls this pipeline. The adapter at the outbound channel, however, is called by the pipeline, and can therefore be regarded as part of the pipeline.
The connected systems transfer or receive IDocs through their IDoc RFC interface.
if you check this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ab/bdb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
and read the Integration section and try to understand the pipeline flow, as the names are not understandable(viz. receiver determintaion, mapping etc.) in the diagram.
you will get the clarity after reading this..

Doubt in Sender IDoc Adapter

Hi Gurus
I have doubts regarding the sender IDoc adapter.The sender IDoc adapter is present by default and we do not create manually. the qos of this is EO by default.
How can we change the QOS of the sender IDoc adapter? do we have to maitain any settings on the R/3 side, please explain??
thanking you

REG: Error in IDoc adapter outbound processing

Hi All,
      I had a couple of doubts regarding these IDoc's.
1)        I am dealing with the web services to IDoc Scenario. When i am activated my wed services it               is giving an error like
"IDOC_ADAPTER.ATTRIBUTE_BE_NOT_SUPP" and "Only asynchronous processing supported for IDoc adapter outbound processing"
Can any one help me to Solve my Problem
2) How to find out whether the IDoc is of synchronous or Asynchronous mode
    and how to handle the synchronous type of IDoc's
Thanks in advance.
with Regards,
Kalyan Dannapaneni.

Hi Kalyan,
IDOCs are only Aynchronous (EO or EOIO).
If you want to call Synchronious, you will have to find remote enabled function modules (RFCs, BAPIs).
Or you have to use the ccBPM Synch-Async pattern to have an synchronos call passed to an IDoc, waiting for the Acknowledgement. In your situation I would check if a similar BAPI/RFC exists on your Backend SAP system.
Best regards,
Silvia

Receiver AAE IDoc adapter

Hi All,
I have a doubt regarding receiver AAE Idoc adapter. There are three options available in java IDoc adapter namely Default, Manual and From NWA. In Default option, we just need to configure a RFC Destination in NWA but in From NWA option, we need to configure RFC Destination as well as Resource Adapter(JCA Connection Factory). So, I just want to know what is the benefits of using From NWA option over Deafult and what is purpose of configuring Resource Adapter in NWA?

Hi,
see the below link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/bc/0341dd385945d49eb809c084cf3dea/content.htm
as per this link i should check the checkbox.

        ALEAUD Special Handling Needed
        Choose this option to enable the sender Java IDoc adapter to apply special handling to the incoming ALEAUD message. The adapter replaces the IDoc number of the ALEAUD message with the original IDoc number.
        Initially, the receiver Java IDoc adapter generates a unique IDoc number, which replaces the original IDoc number of the outbound message. This IDoc unique number is referred by the ALEAUD message. However, the ALEAUD message is not converted to an XI Ack message in this case.

ACK send back but which Idoc Adapter

Hello,
I have the following scenario(party):
R3 -> XI -> Http
I am send orders from the R3 via XI to a customer. I'll get an status from the Http-Adapter that I want to send back to the R3. The definition for sending back are all done and fine. I've 2 Idoc-Adapter (Receiver). Adapter A is an old on used in an other scenario and the new on (adapter-B) with the special setting. When I am receiving the ACK from the HTTP-adapter how can I define wich idoc-Adapter has to be used. My problem ist that the adapter A is used which don't have the necessary settings and can't be changed. How/where can I define to use the adapter b for sendign back tke ACK to the R3.
Regards Jami

Hi Jami,
Receiver adapters that run on the Adapter Engine support system acknowledgments if they are requested by the sender. Acknowledgements are triggered when a message is successfully processed by the adapter or if an error occurs while it is being processed. Receiver adapters do not support application acknowledgments. The RNIF and CIDX adapters are exceptions to this rule, since they also support scenario-dependent application acknowledgments. Sender adapters of the Adapter Engine do not request any acknowledgments.
There is a guide to handle idoc acknowledgements, in sap xi. please refer,"how to handel acknowledgements for idoc" at,
https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/nw-howtoguides
Have look at "How To Handle Acknowledgments for IDoc" .

Recv. adapter : IDOC adapter.
In CRM, there were middleware settings for idoc processing.
For an interface, in XI, i had a problem in getting a file of 10 Mb in size, so the file is split and i have made the XI sender adapter 'Z_PRICE_NEW20061004*.txt', so it picks all files within 5 mins and i have almost 104 XML messages.
Now the problem is a quite no. of message are ended up with error status in outbouond process in XI.
How can i reporcess the message? As the file is deleted from FTP? i ahve to do anything with the failed message.
A quick help is highly appreciated.

IDoc Adapter - Logical System - File to IDOC configuration

I have a scenario reading a File ->XI->IDoc in R/3. I'm looking to have the control record parameter for SNDPRN reflect the Environment dealt with. I unchecked the 'Apply Control Record Values from Payload' & 'Take Sender from Payload' boxes but the problem I'm getting is that the system is reading from the business service (IDoc Adapter - Logical System) and feed it in the Partner Profile in the IDOC. This means that I should all the time redefine 3 this Logical System in config before transporting my scenario from DEV/QA/PRD. Any idea how I can avoid this kind of 'hardcode' ?
Thanks

Hi,
Why u r using three different LS can't u use only one LS and send all the IDOCs to same LS. That will ease ur task.
Do let me know why u r going for three different LS.
In the file r u getting any data which will help u to identify that this file is for which LS. IF that is the scenario then u can use the value mapping and based on the value which is coming in file u can map it to the IDOc filed which u have mentioned and in the configuration it will take the respective configuration.
Thnx

SP14 Multi-mapping - error in receiver idoc adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario where a business service should send some XML to SAP CRM. I get the file via a sender JMS adapter and try to post it to CRM via a receiver IDOC adapter.
I have created a multimapping (1:N - 1 XML file to many Idocs) as should in the repository.
In the configuration under Interface Determination, I have chosen 'RB_SPLIT' and selected the interface multimapping.
It should be pointed out, that when testing both interface and message mapping i get no error. All idocs seem to be created as they should.
When testing the setup 'real life' the message fails. The error message in the monitor says:
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_WRONG_INTF</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>InterfaceCollection</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Unable to interpret IDoc interface InterfaceCollection</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Notice that the above error is when trying to send only 1 record, which in turn then should result in only 1 idoc.
If trying to send multiple XML records, i get the following error:
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">
<SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="OUTBINDING">MMF_ENGINETYPE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>A system error occurred in the outbound binding</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
In the monitor in the payload of 'Request message mapping' I see as many Maindocument, Submaindocument pairs as should be Idocs.
Now i really don't know how to interpret the error messages in both cases, so I'm a little lost here...
It should be pointed out that the idoc being used everywhere in this scenario, has not been modified - from all places it is being used (and only exists) in the 'Imported objects | Idocs' place.
Also the Idoc is also being used as Inbound interface - so no mistakes here either.
I really hope someone can help me here, as I'm otherwise pretty stuck in this case.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I have exactly the same type of scenario (under SPS14 and now also SPS15), sending an XML message over JMS to XI and trying a multi-mapping to many IDocs (actually a list of orders in XML is mapped to n ORDERS Idocs).
I also face problems doing so, when I use the IDoc Adapter as outbound in the Receiver Agreement. I receive the following error:
CO_TXT_MMF_ENGINETYPE
Messages in multi message format can be sent to one adapter engine only
However, I tested the same scenario by just changing the Receiver Agreement to a File Communication Channel and - surprise, surprise - it works. One file per IDoc is created.
Of course, this is not what we want to accomplish, but when I checked this piece of documentation (sorry another link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/ed364cf8593eebe10000000a1553f7/content.htm
the IDoc adapter is not listed in the list of Adapters that are supported. Does that mean, that this feature is not supported for generating IDocs? Maybe that's a question for a SAP OSS Message?
I hope that helped you a little further - if you find out more I'd be happy to learn about it.

Peter

Problem with an Receiver Idoc adapter

Hi.
We have just went from XI 3.0 to PI.7.10.
The Receiver idoc adapter is set up in the same way as it was in XI.
The problem is when two different interfaces runs at the same time I got data into the DC40-record which not belongs too this idoc but from an another interface/idoc.
The idocs are different messagetypes.
In this case the field MESCOD which belongs to one of the idocs also appered in the idoc where the field MESCOD not should be used.
Any idea whats wrong ?
/Per-Arne

Thanks.
Checked sxmb_moni as you said.
In the OutboundBinding-node I can see the right idocadapter is used
where 'Apply Control Record Values from Payload' is enabled.
<SAP:ChannelName>IDOC_INBOUND_U01_110</SAP:ChannelName>
In the IdocOutbound-node I can see the message code 'EXT' which should'nt be there.
- <SAP:IDocOutbound xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30">
<SAP:TABNAM>EDI_DC40</SAP:TABNAM>
<SAP:MANDT>001</SAP:MANDT>
<SAP:DOCREL>710</SAP:DOCREL>
<SAP:DOCNUM>0000000000033474</SAP:DOCNUM>
<SAP:DIRECT>2</SAP:DIRECT>
<SAP:IDOCTYP>OILLDD01</SAP:IDOCTYP>
<SAP:CIMTYP />
<SAP:MESTYP>OILLDD</SAP:MESTYP>
<SAP:MESCOD>EXT</SAP:MESCOD>
Too be more specific about the interface.:
I got one file in from a file adapter and out of that file I produce two idocs into R3 whit
two different idocs-adapters.
I think you are right about that the configuration may be mixed up.
Any idea of what I can do?
It may be an PI 7.10 bug ?
Shall I delete all config objects and so set config up from scrach again ?

** Port is missing from the IDoc control record (Receiver IDoc adapter)

We are using a File to IDoc scenario and in the idoc sap sender port is not coming due to this IDoc posting is failing. Could any one tell us why idoc adapter is not able to get SAP port.
The following is the error message in SAP side.
Status : 56
IDoc: 0000000006188579 Status: IDoc with errors added
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
Kindly help me friends.
Thanks,
Jagathees P.

hi,
>EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
this error message means that there is not partner profile
configuration for this IDOC (you configure it in WE20 of ERP/R/3 )
or your XI system is configured to post to a wrong partner profile
(if you fill your partner data in a mapping for example)
so it's one of the other for sure - check it/change it and it will work
for more info about IDOCs and XI you can check my book:

IDoc Adapter - ATTRIBUTE_BE_NOT_SUPP Async processing

Hello,
I'm trying to establish IDoc communication. Here is the scenario that I need:
<XML Data> --- <SOAP> --> PI Server ( Map XML to IDoc XML) --- <IDoc> --> SAP Retail System
I have the following components set up:
1. Sender SOAP Communication Channel that receives XML - Message Interface "InXML" - Outbound Asynchronous
2. Sender Agreement
3. Map from InXML to OutIDoc. OutIDoc - Message Interface - Inbound Asynchronous
4. Receiver Determination
5. Interface Determination
6. Receiver Agreement
7. Receiver IDoc Communication Channel
8. Business Service for all this
No Integration Scenario.
If I replace item 7 to the FTP for example, everything works just perfect - I send XML it gets Mapped to IDoc and in my FTP I have the IDoc file.
Now, I've asked SAP support specialist to establish communication from PI Server to Retail using IDoc. He send me parameters, which I used for IDoc Communication Channel:
RFC Destination: NX7CLNT800
Port: A000000022
SAP Release: 3 - this is I put myself
But when I run the whole system again, I'm getting the error:
IDOC_ADAPTER ATTRIBUTE_BE_NOT_SUPP - "Only asynchronous processing supported for IDoc adapter outbound processg"
This is very confusing because both my message interfaces are Asynchronous.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and why I'm getting this error.
Thanks.

8. Business Service for all this
Should it not be Business System for IDOC.....for SOAP it will be Business Service
1. Sender SOAP Communication Channel that receives XML - Message Interface "InXML" - Outbound Asynchronous
Check what is the QoS that is specified in the SOAP Channel.....if it is Best Effort then it will be a cause of the error......change it to Exactly Once (EO).

Abhishek.

XI Business content for MDM - Syntax error in IDOC adapter

Hi mates,
I'm trying out the Master Data Harmonization scenario for Vendor data with R/3 as the client system. I'm using SAP delivered XI Business content for MDM. The mapping program is generating ADRMAS and CREMAS IDocs but the IDOC adapter reports that there is a syntax error in ADRMAS IDOC. Find below the details.

Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?
Look at the code sample from XSLT mapping program
<xsl:for-each select="IDOC/*/E1ADRMAS">
 <IDOC BEGIN="1">
 
 <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
 </IDOC>
</xsl:for-each>
How can an IDOC w/o control record be posted?
Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?
Thanks
Praveen
