EDI file to IDOC using Business connector 4.6

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement of converting the EDI file to IDOC using Business connector 4.6 (943 & 944 ) one Inbound and other is outbound ..
Can any one of you share the document on developing the scensrio ... we have searched couldnt get the same.
Thanks in advance .
Ramamurthy

Hi Raj,
Thanks for the reply , Yes currently we also having the project using PI as rightly said we are using the seeburger and then converting the EDI format to XML and then mapped in IR to the IDOC .
also using Item field conversion we developed some projects , similarly we have developed using modules too .
Since the Business connector is new to us we didnt able to catch hold on where to import the Java program that we write in the Business connector ... from Jothi reply understood the server side configuration.
In case of BC where is that we need to implement the java code if you can share some thing on this would be good .
Could you please share on how to transform and then implement the code in the BC ....
Thanks,
Ramamurthy

Using Business Connector to convert a file to XML

Hi, I have been asked to see if a flat file created by an abap program can be converted to XML format using Business Connector (4.7). I have looked in the tutorial and the pdf documents but can not see how this is done. Please could someone give me some advice?
- Is this possible using built-in Business Connector services - or is it more complicated?
- Should I even bother to try to do this when it it easy for me to create an XML format file from ABAP?
- Is there a good course, book, documentation that would help me?
Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy!
Our customers have this requirement to convert some "flat-file" into some XML format via Business Connector quite often. The best way (as the last post sugessted) is indeed to use the "EDI-Adapter" which is free of charge (service.sap.com/connectors).
With that module you can convert all flat-files (delimiter based, offset based, mixed, even classical EDI formats, ...) based on some definition ( = template). Be careful the EDI-Adapter Module download page states that it is supported for BC version 4.6 . However it is absolutely no problem to use it in BC 4.7 versions as well. Remember that you will NOT get any official support by SAP when using the EDI-Adapter module.
Simply import the EDI-Module as general BC package (server/replicate/inbound directory).
Generally it is very powerful, stable and well documented ...
Best regards, Andy

IDOC to EDI file scenario and EDI file to IDOC scenario without Seeburger

Hi All,
IDOC (Invoice) to EDI file scenario without Seeburger

EDI file to IDOC (Orders) scenario without Seeburger
Pls let me know if anybody have blogs for the same

Hi Rachit,
>>Can anybody send me blogs to convert IDoc structure to EDI or EDI to IDoc structure using Conversion Agent or using JAVA Mappings.
Using conversion Agent there is no coding, If you have a conversion agent insatlled in your landscape you will have better understanding..
Also java code for IDoc to EDI have some problems:
1. The EDI format differs based on requirement so there will always be a customized code for it.. Like we have IDco to EDIFACT and ANSX12...
2. Because most of these codes are propriety materials I doubt whether anyone be sharing the complete code here in SDN. Better to have a java consultant at your end and put him with your requirement.. From the reply in above threads you should be clear that what you are looking for can be done from java coding..
All the best

ABAP Query output to XML file using Business connector

Hi All,
I would request your help on to know, how can I read the output of ABAP query executed in SAP system via Business connector and then generate a XML file.
Also the existing business connector system, generates the XML file in encoding iso-8859-1. Where as customer wants the output XML file in encoding windows-1252.
Please help with your valuable ideas.
Thanks,

Hello,
possible solution:
1. create a remote function module (FM) in SAP which returns your needed data
2. create outbound map in BC for this FM
3. call this FM from BC in a flow
3. extract the result to XML (e.g. with service recordToDocument)

Send IDOC from Business Connector to SAP faster

Hi Developer!
I need to send a very lot of IDOC converted from XML files from the Business Connector to SAP. The XML files are in different directories pro business partner, but they have a same type (ISU_MSCONS).
My problem, that the import take a lot of time. Only in every 3 seconds (IDOC creation time) gets (or works up?) the SAP one IDOC. I start diferent services pro partner at the same time to import the IDOCs, but I couldnt short the 3 second work time in the SAP. So you can count it easy, that in 1 minute I can import 20, in 1 hour 1200, in 1 day 28800 IDOCs instead of 100.000.
It is really parallel import? Have anybody any idea to make the import more faster. I know (asked the SAP Administrator) so, one BC - SAP connection (Program_ID) has more pools (= threads) in the SAP at the same time.
Thanks any help,
Charlie

Hi Satish,
You can achieve this requirement
1)If your external system going to support web service cals then send IDoc from External system as a web service, in PI use sender side SOAP and receiver side IDoc receiver channel to send IDoc.
or
2)Use proxy program ,implement the same ALE logic in PI.
or
3)Copy the Extenal IDoc message in to file folder as XML,then use file adapter to pick up this message and send it SAP using IDoc.

Is there any way Business Connector Box can Pull the XML file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server. from that How do we Sent XML file to Non-sap. How do we Integrate ??
what transaction code will trigger this event ? I mean is ther any SAP Transaction Code to Integrate Business Connector?

IDoc Inbound Business Connector

Hello
I am trying to send an inbound IDoc to SAP via Business Connector. This is shortly to be replaced by XI.
The flow in Business Connector creates a routing rule which is blank because it is not finding the control information from the IDoc I believe.
I think I am missing a step in my flow.
Currently the flow is
document to record
Transform hierarchy to Flat.
Map ( mapping the fields into the IDoc)
Record to Idoc
Inbound process
The inbound process always fails because it doesnt recognise the message type, sender etc.
This is all the idoc and in record to Idoc this is an input with an output of Idoc list which is passed to the inbound process.
However Idoclist I believe doesn't seem to contain any data.
I think a step is missing can anyone help??
Thanks

Hi,
Please see this.
Hi,
BC adapter can be used when you want to communicate to a existing interface on Business Connector. If you are talking to SAP, you use RFC / IDOC adapters.
The SAP Business Connector (BC) is used in a large number of SAP production environments. SAP Business Connector will probably be gradually phased out and replaced by SAP XI technology. For the short term SAP Business connector and SAP XI will inevitably continue to coexist in companies IT landscapes.

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!

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

JCo IDoc: SAP Business Connector required?

On my searching for the error IDOC_ERROR_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE i have found this thread:
BC 4.7 -IDOC_ERROR_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE
"As of SAP BC 4.7 the SAP Adapter (the piece dealing with the SAP system(s)) uses the new SAP IDoc Java API which uses other function modules to retrieve the definition data of the IDocs.
You need new permissions in the SAP system, especially
S_IDOCDEFT:EDI_TCD=WE30,ACTVT=03,EDI_CIM=,EDI_DOC=
S_CTS_ADMI:CTS_ADMFCT=TABL"
Does JCo Idoc require the Business Connector installed to execute the JCoIDoc.createDocument() method? I guess not, but i can not see other reasons for the error message. If i read it correctly, the BC needs the permissions in SAP, but the JCoIdoc library does not depend on the BC.

No, it is not required. At my company we use a third party software to handle all faxes. Really it is setup SAP as an output device, so it is just like printing to a printer. THe only differences is we need to have a header page in the sapscript which gives all of the details of the fax to the third party software. This software then strips off this first page and faxes the rest of the pages.
It is called RightFax and it runs on a separate server.

File to Idocs using BPM

Hi,
Current Interface Flow - File (xml) to Idoc (single Idoc type)
Thirdparty sends a File for Goods Receipt. This file may have multiple orders.
Orders are sorted in an xslt by ORDNUM. Each record has a delivery type (Deliver Type PO or Delivery Type STO). For each order Graphical Message mapping occurs.
In case of PO, inbound delivery number and item number have to be received from ECC via an RFC call and passed to VBELN and POSNR. While in case of STO, source field ORDNUM and ORDITEM are passed to VBELN and POSNR. (RFC call happens only for POs, not for STOs)
In case of STO, TCode will be MB0A.and IDoc would be WMMBXY (As is the case right now)
In case of PO, there may be two cases -
a) There is at least one response from ECC for all the line items inside an order --> in this case TCode will be MB0A and IDoc is WMMBXY .
b) If there is no inbound delivery number for any line item from ECC inside an order --> TCode MB01 will be used and IDoc used is WMMBXY
So for all the above cases Target IDoc is WMMBXY.
Changes to be done - Now File (xml) to Idoc (Two different Idoc types, WMMBXY and DELIVERY03)
Now there is an additional requirement that I will be using an additional IDoc (DELIVERY03) in above case a).
I want to use BPM in this case
1) RFC call in message mapping to get the inbound delivery number (for POs only) (Should be before the message enters BPM)
2) Separating the messages based on IDoc type
3) Interface / Message mapping for each IDoc type
4)Send the message to ECC
Please suggest how to proceed with BPM
Thanks,
Varun

Removal of Line feed from EDI file in IDOC to EDI file scenario

Hi Experts,
I have one problem related to line feed in EDI file. Currently i am using seeburger mapping to do XML to EDI mapping. After mapping i am using File Adapter(with NFS) to create file in my PI server.
The line looks like
UNB+UNOA......
UNH+1.......
BGM.........
but i want my file in without line feed
UNBUNOA......UNH1......BGM
Can this be possible without use of Shell script?
Is anything i can do in Seeburger mapping [i checked BIC mapper in seeburger and see some parameters there]?
Regards,
Shradha

Hi,
I am explaining my scenario in detail:
my Current EDI file looks like
UNAf1f2............'
UNBf1f2............'
BGMf1f2............'
UNHf1f2............'
now i want my file to be in following format
UNAf1f2............'UNBf1f2............'BGMf1f2............'UNHf1f2............'
NOTE: to create my current file i am using File adapter with NFS and seeburger mapping.
Can you please tell me a way to remove the line feed from the current file ?
I already tried newline checkbox from seeburger and it is not working. and other parameter i can use from see burger mapping tool which will remove my line feed.

Shradha

Sending of iDoc to Business Connector

Hi Folks,
I am new to business connector and know very little about the same.
I have sent an idoc(MATMAS05) to the business connector. The idoc status is set to 03, which means the idoc is successfully sent to the BC. But how to find in BC whether any idoc has been received or not.
Thank you in anticipation.

We have made an "wrap-arround" to the FM IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE and made it RFC enabled.
On the BC we have created an service to update the status of an IDoc to status 18. This service is placed as an "pre-proccesing service" of all routing-rules receiving IDoc's from R/3.
If the IDoc is converted and send to the Receiver status of the IDoc is set to 39, if not status is set to 30.
If an IDoc "only" has status 03 we look in SM59 and se why thy IDoc counld not be send to the BC.

FILE to IDOC using node functions; IDOC parent, child segment

I have file with 10 recors.
Each record has f1,f2 (two fields)
The target IDOC segments are
E1PARENT1 occurance 0 to 99
E1PARENT1-field_p1
E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1 occurance 0 to 5
E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1-field_c1
I have to map
FILE field1 to E1PARENT1-field_p1
and
FILE field2 to E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1-field_c1
I tried
RemoveContext -> SplitByValue(value change) -> CollapseContext ->E1PARENT1
RemoveContext -> SplitByValue(value change) -> CollapseContext ->E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1
With above i'm getting output
a) parent IDOC segment E1PARENT1 repeated 10 times (source FILE got 10 records) .. .This is correct
b) The first parent segment E1PARENT1 got 5 child segments E1CHILD1. -- this is incorrect
c) The second parent segment E1PARENT1 has NO child segments E1CHILD1 -- this is incorrect
I want
first parent segment E1PARENT1 to have 1 child segment E1CHILD1 having 1st record field2 of input FILE
2nd parent segment E1PARENT1 to have 1 child segment E1CHILD1 having 2nd record field2 of input FILE
3rd parent segment E1PARENT1 to have 1 child segment E1CHILD1 having 3rd record field2 of input FILE
I think by changing occurance (ECC value is 0 to 5) of child IDOC segment E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1 to 1 could solve this issue. (I tried to change the text file, but it is no confusing where to change using Notepad). Basically i don't know how to control the queue context of CHILD segment of IDOC matching with PARENT segment of the IDOC.
Any better alternative. Please help. Thanks

This is the IDOC target
E1PARENT1 (o to 99 occurance)
E1PARENT1-field_p1
E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1 (0 to 5 occurance)
E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1-field_c1
I resolved using standard function of message mapping. The mistake was SplitByvalue(value change), when changed to SplitByvalue(each value) got desired result. Here is the mapping to benefit others. Please correct or add if any, thanks.
a) Target - Parent segment
SOURCE-RECS->RemoveContext -> E1PARENT1
SOURCE-RECS-F1->RemoveContext -> E1PARENT1-field_p1
b) Target - Child segment
SOURCE-RECS->RemoveContext -> SplitByValue(each value) -> E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1
SOURCE-RECS-F1->RemoveContext -> SplitByValue(each value) -> E1PARENT1-E1CHILD1-field_c1
