EPA to SDA conversion !!

Hi all,
My scenario is :
1) i have created a transport package from portal to create EPA file,
2) I am using sapmake_util tool to convert EPA to SDA,
3)i have downloaded this tool from SAP NOTE 696084
4)All environment variables are set.
now when i run this tool i am getting error that
BUILD FAILED, ERROR WHILE EXPANDING <EPA FILE>.
What could cause this error, this doesnt generates a log file so i could not find any cause..
Has anybody faced this issue?? how to get rid of this??
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ameya

I resolved this of my own...
in cmd i was typing epa2sda FILE.EPA FILENEW = this is wrong, where as correct way is epa2sda FILE.EPA FILENEW.sda
i was also getting error while creation of sca, for this you need to create a folder in sapmake_util folder say MyCollection, now put sda file that you created just now, and now on cmd type
sca MyCollection MyCollectionNew
this will create your business package and an SCA file...
Hope this info will help to others as well..
Cheers..

Ameya

Thanks and Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hi,
Check this SAP note out 696084, this contains the links for downloading the sapmake_util.exe , this tool you will be needed in order to convert EPA to SDA, once you download this tool, unzip this into your SAP folder in program files. the blog provided by Harini is very nice one.
Please not the syntax of converting is
on cmd you need to type this
epa2sda <filename.EPA> <SDA filename youwant.SDA>
dont forget to give .EPA and .SDA as i have shown, else you will get errors.
Hope this helps,

EAR and EPA to SDA

Hi all,
We have to create an EP Business package with web dynpro applications. How can we package the portal contents and web dynpro applications into a single sca/sda package?
As far as I know, the web dynpro EAR files can be converted into SDA files during the assembly process in CMS. The EPA files can be converted to SDA using command line tools of MAKe utilities. Thus there will be two SDA files. Then these SDA files has to be combined into an SCA archive.
Is this the right way do this? Can anyone help me with a better option if any?
Thanks and regards,
Shyam.

Hi,
There is no need to convert the .ear files into .sca or .sda as .ear file can also be deployed directly.
Also regarding the Package, you need to just export the package as a .epa file.
This would work.

Akshay
Plz reward if helpful.

Convert .SDA to .SCA

Hi All,
I need some clarification.
Can you please tell me Can we convert .SDA to .SCA ?
Advance Thanks,
Namrata.

Hi Namrata
The following conversions are possible:

·        EPA to SDA
·        EAR to SDA
·        SDA to SCA
Once go through

Sapmake_util, par2sda, ear to sda confusion

I've been wrestling with the sapmake_util package for a few days now and have several questions.
My ultimate goal is to create a SCA containing several PAR, SDA, and EAR files representing portal application/service projects, dictionary projects, and web dynpro projects built within NWDS that can be deployed successfully via JSPM. I am not using NWDI, I am using sapmake_util (see tech note #696084).
The help article regarding the creation of SDA and SCA files shows the path a PAR file takes through a combination of archives as: PAR -> EAR -> SDA -> SCA.
It goes on to note that:
The following conversions are possible:
·        PAR to EAR
·        EPA to SDA
·        EAR to SDA
·        SDA to SCA
Which clearly makes it possible to combine a PAR file as illustrated in the graphic.
However, sapmake_util does not include a command to perform this combination. My current attempt is to use par2sda which gives me an EAR file "that is in SDA format."
I've read several posts which seem to confirm that the EAR file is indeed a SDA and needs no conversion to an actual SDA file (which, I can only assume, is why there is no ear2sda command provided in the sapmake_util package). Why then, does the help article specifically state that:
The following conversions are possible:
·        PAR to EAR
·        EPA to SDA
EAR to SDA
·        SDA to SCA
So, is an EAR actually a SDA? Can someone please get this story straight?
Thanks!
Kris

An EAR is a SCA.

Edited by: Priyanka Sharma on Jun 18, 2010 4:29 PM

com.sap.xi.repository reference is not required,, how are you deploying your module on PI server,
You must be using some external library for excel conversion, if external library is present in your deployed file, you don't need to add com.sap.xi.repository reference.
Check:
Is EAR to SDA conversion needed for EJB EAR module
if you opt to use CECLT tool provided with NWDS 7.1, make sure you import SAP EAR File(it will have External library) on your local system.

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.
Karma

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.
Have a look at these links:
/people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield
/people/paul.medaille/blog/2005/11/17/more-on-the-sap-conversion-agent-by-itemfield
http://www.stylusstudio.com/edi/XML_to_X12.html
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0b355ae-0501-0010-3b83-8f2bb566fa47
Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. 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.
For more i would suggest you to go through these links:
http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf
http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/Butler_Group_SEEBURGER_Technology_Audit.pdf
http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/AS2_General_Overview.pdf
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:
http://www.seeburger.com
http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf

http://h41123.www4.hp.com/presentations/ISUG/XISeeBurger.ppt
http://www.sap.com/asia/company/events/nwtechdays/presentation/australia-slides/Pre-Built_Integration.pdf
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:
http://www.ean.se/EANCOM%202000/iftmin/example.htm
Details on how to configure can be found on SDN
I hope this helps....

How to convert a .jar file to a .sda

Hi,
I have a login module which is created in the form of .jar file. I was deploying this login module using the Deploy tool(deploy.bat).
Now I am looking for deploying my login module using the SDM, which happens to be the recommended mode with NW04.
I have two questions related to creation of SDA, for which I am looking for urgent help:
1. How can I create a .sda file from the .jar file? I do not want to create the .sda file directly from the codebase as I already have the command line build process setup to create a jar file from the codebase
2. How can step1 be accomplished from command line?
Appreciate if someone can help me out. I searched at many places but could not find anything related to this conversion.
Thanks,
Vishal.

SEEburger error in conversion from EDI to EDI-XML

Dear SAP experts,
Good day!
Can i seek your inputs regarding this error i'm getting when i've tried to convert the EDI (D93A_RECADV message) into EDI-XML?
I am using BIC for this one.
This is the error i am getting,
[Error:ID=2099;LEVEL=1] InhouseDocReader doSyntaxCheck(): offset[78167]: the found segment is not in the message description.
Conversion error
Does this mean the source file is in wrong structure?
Kindly advise.
Thank you very much!
Fred

Hi,
Make sure that You used the Source structure in the IR from the External Def of the Seeburger SWCV only.
And deployed the necessary mappings on XI server by making the .sda file in BIC.
And the Incoming file should have the valid values while parsing the EDI file inorder to convert the EDI ti EDI_XML
