Error in ALE-IDOC related to HR data posting in ECC 6.0

Hello People,
Upgradation done from 4.6B to ECC 6.0.
Here the data comes from the 3rd part s/w and then gets posted through a Z program which in tern calls SAP standard program " RSEINB00" and FM "IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE" is used in this std program to post the data to the corresponding HR tables through IDOC postings.
ALE-IDOC Z program works fine in 4.6B but gives error in ECC 6.0.
Error in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype Message no. 5-109 Diagnosis An error has occurred in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype .
Procedure
Check the entry for infotype in table T777D (structure, IDoc segment, expanded structure) and the corresponding structures.
As per the error message it seems that some table () needs to be maintained with some values, but this was working fine with the 4.6 B with current settings.
Is this error due to version change to ECC 6.0? What extra settings need to be done with respect to IDOC so that the posting program works fine without giving the stated error. Kindly let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav Joshi.

Please keep in mind ECC 6.0 is an UniCode based system.
as 4.6C was not,
did the Z-program have been tested before in the current environment?
Some special functions (keywords hints ...) are no longer supported after the upgrade.,
this was shown during the upgrade in the unicode migration tools
For sure all the own programms needs to be verfied, after an upgrade.
commonly this should be done
in the quality assurance test to avoid touble in production.

ALE/iDoc for Work Center data transfer

Hello, community.
I am working on several interfaces for the PP and PM modules using iDocs/ALE.
One of the requirements is that only created and modified data must be distributed from R/3.
For Work Centers, we are using basic type LOIWCS02 and message type LOIWCS. We are generating iDocs through transaction POIM, which has two transfer modes: Complete (data for all Work Centers etc.) and Change (only new and updated data).
The Change Transfer Mode assumes you have set both Change Pointers and Change Documents for the objects to be transfered. Otherwise, it'll work just like the Complete Transfer Mode.
Our PP consultant told me there is no configuration to generate Change Documents for Work Center data modifications.
Can anybody give me other opinions? I'll resort to Z-table solutions only if I have no other options.

Hi Danilo,
Do you know what the process codes are for
LOIWCS and LOIROU ?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Gopi.

ALE IDOC related basic question

Hi Gurus,
I am new for SAP please clarify my quary.
In SAP R/3 we have the one data base server, every one have authorization for access data form data base,they can extract data from data base, that time what is the need to distribute the data form one client to another client using ALE throug IDOC and some other methods also.
Hi i have the doubt on this, Please dont feel cilly.. please clarify me clearly.
Thanks & Regards
Sri Sairam

Hi Sai.
Very good question, first think is data is client dependent. Dont think that all user will have access to all clients of the SAP system. In some projects we can see different clients in the same server (lets take development box), in one client we can develop the program and in another we can do the unit testing. In this case if you want to keep the data in both clients then we need to distribute them. You may have seperate clients based on the application also (like client for FI, seperate one for SD, like that - in dev to do testing).
But in most of the cases we can see data distribution scenarios in between 2 servers, since master data will be maintained seperately.
Thanks
Satya

Question on ALE/IDOC

Hi to all,
I have some doubts regarding ALE/IDOC can any one tell me answers to those question.
1. what is a process code? what is the purpose of process code?
2. what is a stand alone program?
3.How to handle to errors in ale/idoc?
4. ALE processes in asynchronous why?
5. How to run idocs in parallel?
6.What is a posting program
7. Can any one can send me one complete ALE/IDOC scenario with documentation ?
Please send me the answers to this mail id [email protected]

Hi guys,
I must thank every one of you for sending such quick and helpful responses. I bought the book "ALE, EDI and IDOC" from Aravind Nagpal and its a great book for beginner as well as for an expert. I have started practising ALE my PC by logging into 2 clients and it is working fine. I was able to send and receive the IDOC.
Thank you again.
This is a great forum,
Cheers,
Mahesh.

Hi,
Reprocessing IDocs with errors
Outbound (BD88)
Once the error has been determined and corrected it is not necessary to resend the IDoc again. You simply resend the IDocs that have already been generated.
Using the IDoc overview screen you need to take note of the following for each IDoc that was not processed:
Error number: 2, 4, 5, 25, 29
Error number: 30 (Execute Check IDoc dispatch to process)
IDoc number
Using the Error number, the IDoc number and the transaction BD88 , with the required message type you can resend the IDoc. Match the error number with this transaction and execute the function for the IDocs incorrectly processed.
Just check the below link, u will get all IDOC related Interview questions

Data transfer using ALE/IDOC into XML.

Dear All,
I have to transfer FI document data (FB01) from the sap system ,convert it into XML and dump it in 1 of the file servers.I want to do this using ALE/IDOC.Is it possible to do the same and how.Similarly i want to do the same for Vendor and Customer master i.e sending the data in XML format.
Kindly Suggest how do i go about doin the same..Its very urgent.Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

In continuation:
Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
Development access; and
ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
Segment fields
LIFNR Vendor account number
XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
Enter a description for your segment type and create
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
Check the box on the line of your new segment
Save, back and enter
Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
Save and back
To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to add a new type
Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
Click on New entries
Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
Create the output partner profile.
Distribute the customer model
Specify the name of the customer model.
You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
The customer model must be maintained.
RFC destinations must be maintained.
The customer model must be distributed.
To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.
Data declaration statements

NOTE:
For debugging purposes, use transaction WE05 (IDoc overview) to see check your IDoc status, or to see whether an IDoc was created/
3. INBOUND PROCESSING
3.1. Create Function Module
This function module is called when a message type, of type ZINVRV, comes into the receiving system. This needs to be configured and is dealt with later in this section. The function module is passed the IDoc as a parameter.
Example parameters
Import parameters Reference field Opt Y/N

3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
Type in message type as ZINVRV
Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
Click on New entries
Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
Choose Inbound with ALE service
Choose Processing with function module
Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
Click on New Entries
Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
Enter your process code ZINR
Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.
Hope this will help you,

Regarding an error when an idoc is transferred through ALE

hi guys,
i have designed a custom message type and sent an idoc from server 1 to server 2 ( receiver system ) using ALE, idoc is transferred fine but data in idoc is not sent to receiver system i mean, there is no data in idoc.
i received an error saying: idoc transferred with errors at inbound system.
 it displays status 56 i.e EDI: partner profile not defined.
but partner profile and model view for both outbound and inbound system have been absolutely configered.
can you plss help me with this.
thanks very much
pavan

hi appana,
thx for ur suggestion, actually outbound idoc is populated but problem is with inbound idoc - there is no data in it.
what exactly do u mean by partner profile maintained for this idoc at inbound, actually i have created partner profile at inbound using we20 and assinged custom message type and process code ( functin module developed by me) to msgtype.
can u be elaborative.
thanks
pavan.

ALE/IDOC TRANSPORT ERROR FOR Z TABLE

Dear Experts,
I am new to ALE/IDOC,I am trying a simple scenario by transporting a ztable data between two clients with in a same server.
steps i have done are :
1, created logical system at both sender and receiver.
2, assigned logical system to clients at both side.
3, created segments for fields at Z table and created new message type.
4, created RFC destination and port at both ends.
5, created distribution model at sender.
6, When i generated partner profile at sender i got the below error
"Port could not be created
RFC destination LOGSTM_210 not specified for system LOGSTM_210
Enter the RFC destination and restart the generation"
can any one please help me to solve this error?
Thanks In Advance,
Sujay.

Hello Sujay,
Have you added the message type SYNCH to the sender Partner Profile(WE20)?
If not, then you have to manually add this message type to the Partner Profile & give the relevant port details. SYNCH is reqd. for RFC (read port) determination. This is reqd. before the generation of partner profile !!
Hope i am clear.
BR,
Suhas

ALE distribution error - 0 communication IDOC

Hello,
We are getting 0 communication IDOC generated for message type DOCMAS error for ALE document distribution error. Please advice where to look for the error.
Anirudh

hi,
ani,
u check this,
If you want work items to be created when errors occur for the purpose of error handling, you need to assign the standard task TS40007915 PCROLL to a position or a workflow organizational unit.
Or
You can also distribute dependent objects manually for classes. You can use report program RCCLDIHI to distribute a complete class hierarchy including all classes characteristics, and characteristic values.
Only the message code (004 - change) is allowed for sending a document (message type DOCMAS). This function also creates the document in the target system.
You can control the sending of documents with the indicator Distribution lock. An object with this indicator in its status will not be distributed into other ALE systems.
You can set the indicator in Customizing Document Management System  Define document type  Define status. The distribution lock is read when a distribution automatically starts after a change pointer is set or for an Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM).
You can ignore this setting by starting the distribution manually. When you set the indicator Ignore distribution lock in the initial screen, then all documents will be distributed overriding the previously set status.
You control the distribution of object links with the indicator You cannot maintain the object links via ALE and Object link unchanged in target system.
Information about object links are distributed through IDoc type DOLMAS01.
The data is transferred to the workstation application and to storage data in IDoc type DOCMAS04 if an original file exists to a document. The Remote Function Call interface protocol transfers the contents of the original file, for example text or design drawing.
You can determine whether you want originals of a certain document type to be distributed by ALE into another system under the setting Document Management System  Define document type  Define transport of originals for ALE. You can control distribution with various criteria.
You want to distribute all original files of the application WRD (Microsoft Word) for the document type R-1 (report) that are stored in vault VAULT1 (Vault for Office Applications). You do not want to distribute documents of the same document type for the application WWI (Winword 6.0).
You can process the status for the desired objects.
1. Select in Customizing Cross Applications Components  Distribution (ALE)  Standard ALE Business Processes  Logistics  Master Data Distribution  Integrated Distributed PDM Solution (ID PDM)  Object status (for example, Define BOM status).
2. Process the indicator Distribution lock

Can anybody tell me how to retrieve the data and update in the tables for the extended fields.
Could you please provide a sample program for retrieving data for IDOC.
Thanks

Hi,
You can find the sample code in the following link.
