External RFC or external IDOC pdf ?

hi,
there used to be a pdf guide on SDN about either external RFC connection with XI
or non SAP IDOC system connection with XI
does anyone have this guide or link to it?
thank you,

Differences between rfc and ale/idoc.

hi ..
       will u please send the differences between rfc and ale/idoc's.

Hi,
Please reward with points if helpful................
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. There are three layers in ALE system: application services, distribution services, and communication services.
For communication services, ALE performs a Remote Function Call (RFC) using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. RFC is used to communicate between applications of different systems in the SAP environment includes connections between SAP systems as well as between SAP systems and non-SAP systems. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Means of creating and operating distributed applications.
The purpose of Application Line Enabling is to guarantee a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange with consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Application integration is achieved not via a central database, but via synchronous and asynchronous communication.
Application Link Enabling comprises the following three layers:
application services
distribution services
communication services
Two Development Models
     Distribution using BAPIs
     Distribution using Message type
The programming model "Distribution using message types" contains the definitions of message types and IDoc types and the ABAP code for processing inbound and outbound IDocs.
Defining message types and IDoc types:
If you want to create message type enhancements for master data distribution, you also have to create a new message type for each enhancement.
The ALE interface does not allow you to create different segment data for different IDoc types for the same message type.
Writing ABAP code:
         Outbound Processing
           Inbound Processing
You can find information on other ALE functions under:
                               Master Data Distribution
                              Communicating with Non-R/3 Systems
1. The Remote Function Call facility allows you to call an R/3 Function module on a remote machine.
2. To communicate between two R/3 Systems and also with an External System. External Application program also can call these function module for integration.
3. RFC or sRFC - Synchronous RFC
                 aRFC - Asynchronous RFC
                  tRFC - Transactional RFC
                  qRFC - Queued RFC (I.e. Serialization of tRFC)
Types of RFC Call
Synchronous
CALL FUNCTION Func Destination Dest
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION 'NONE' ...
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION BACK' ...
Asynchronous
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname
PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func

Hi,
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Using RFC to save a PDF on a local file & then retrieving thru Iview

In the RFC function module, a pdf is created from a list of spools. I need to display this information on the Iview. However, I am unable to save on local/network drive using RFC (since ws_download/ws_execute will not work). Any suggestions?

How to send an external mail(PDF) through SCOT

Dear All,
                 We have a requirement to mail customer invoice converting the smartform into a PDF. All the neccesary configuration that needs to be done in NACE and SPRO transactions has been done.Now when we issue the output through an output type through transaction VF03, output is successfully issued.In SP02 also it shows the printing is successfully completed.
                 But when i want to want to check the display log aginst the
output type and billing doc issued it says dat the processing log dosnt exist.We have configured the SCOT transaction for sending external email but it doesnt send the mail and even doesnt show any request in waiting and as well as no errors so we are not being able to identify whether the configuration done is wrng which doesnt seem to be the case or is dere a problem with SCOT configuration.
                 Could any1 pls help me with the entire flow of configuring SCOT if possible with screenshots for sending external email . or if possible wat is the possible problem we are facing...
                 Awaiting ur reply shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

1. Use the Medium 7 for sending mails instead of 1 (printout)
2. Maintain the Mail IDs for all vendors in Vendor Master(check the ADR6 table)
3. Do the settings for sendiing mails in SCOT and SOST tcodes with the help of Basis person
4.In NAce also use medium 7 instead of 1 (print)
5. In the application doc Po Me22 N also configure the output type with the medium 7 for the partner(vendor) and other sommunication method settings.
6. CHeck the print program, I think it will consider the Medium and set the communication type automatically. check it by keeping a break point if it is not working.
n the Smartform Functiona Module we get the Spool ID of the Smartform for the output
use that spool ID and convert to PDF format and send mail using the fun modules
CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
you have to write related code for these fun modules in the Smartform driver program itself
and ask your basis persons to configure the SCOT and SOST tcodes to send mails to Outside Consignee Maid Id's

External Email (PDF Attachment) while PO is created or Changed

Hi All,
I have a requirement as below.
1. When a PO is created / changed then saved, the PO Form is to be sent to the respective vendor through External Email along with the PO Form printout generated.
2. The PO Form is to be attached in the Email (PDF Document).
Please write to me if you have a suitable solution for this requirement.
I have created the PO Form in SAPScript. Is it possible to develop the above requirement in SmarForm? Please suggest me.
Thanks in Advance,

Since you are using SAPScript I thought this solution would be simpler. We are also using SAPScript and email all document types when necessary.
1. As suggested before: create an output type as an email type (Same as mornal output just the value 8 for transmission medium).
2. For ease of maintainance I copied the associated printing program to a new program and link this new program to the output type as normal.
3. In your print program make the following changes.
(a) include code below just before your open form. You can read the email address from whereever you have them. In this example they are read from a custom z* table ZEMAIL_TEMP . Sometimes we read them from customer master, vendor master etc.
(b) make sure you have the folowing export parameter in your "START_FORM" Function module
     MAIL_RECIPIENT = RECIPIENT_OBJ
4. Make sure your conversion rules are set properly. Transaction code SCOT Setting-->Conversion Rules
SAPScript text is an OTF type. We are converting our forms to PDF so we have the following entry:
Format = OTF
Format to = PDF
Ranking = 1
Function Module = SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF</b>
5. The are other bells and whistles (like changing the email header) that I can happily share once/if you are happy with your solution.
Hope I am not missing any vital info.
Good Luck

How do I link external files (.pdf's) in the flash content please? I'm creating a CD interface

Hello
I'm new to Adobe CS software and would like some advice please.
My company uses a CD with a flash interface that opens via an .exe or .app file. The original designer is on maternity leave at the moment but we need some content updates before she gets back and I’m deciding whether to redo the CD myself or to source a new designer.
So far I've been able to replicate most of the CD in Catalyst using the trial version but there is one thing stopping me from buying the software. I can't find a way to link external files (specifically pdf's) via the flash content. The CD is for instruction manuals so once the interface has been navigated the user needs to click on a button to open the desired pdf manual.
Is this possible in Catalyst or am I looking at the wrong software?
I can't write code and my experience is limited so I would appreciate help from someone who knows what they're talking about please and any software recommendation would also be great
If I need to outsource please tell me but bear in mind that I have been able to do all the design work and it's just linking the pdf's that I'm struggling with
Thanks in advance and for any help

Hi Bear,
Thanks for your quick answer.
Flash Catalyst currently prefixes all links with "http://", so you would need to save your FXP in Catalyst, open the FXP in builder, and remove the "http" so that you're just loading the local pdfs.
I tried your suggestion but couldn't get it working so I'm probably doing something wrong since I'm not very familiar with Flash Builder.
I created the button > on click > go to url interaction in Catalyst and saved the project (tried it using a PDF saved on our server and also my PC).
I imported the FXP and opened to "project name / src / (default package) / main.mxml / button name"
After deleting "http" I selected "export release build" and opened the new SWF and also tried the HTML; the new button just opened to my homepage instead of the PDF
I also tried deleting "http:" and "http://" which deactivated the button completely (I expect some coders will laugh at that but I am a noob )
Unfortunately linking to online files isn't an option for me so do you see what I'm doing wrong please?
Thanks for your help

Open external document (.pdf or .doc) in default viewer?

Hello,
How do I open a document (.pdf or .doc) in the default viewer for that program type?
Thanks.

This works if you can put up with a command prompt (minimised)...
Use the System Exec.vi from Connectivity->Libraries & Execuables. Use 'cmd /c "<path to file>"' as the command line. (It should run with 'start' but for some reason LabVIEW throws a memory error if you try that!?!?!)
Unfortunately this kicks off a command prompt window which i'm not sure how to hide (but can minimise it with the run mimimised input), but at least it also kicks off Acrobat (or whatever) to launch your pdf file.

External Attachment (pdf,doc,wmv)

Hi,
Presently working a project which need videos to be linked in
captivate .As these videos are large in size (eg:90 MB) so would
like create a link which when clicked would open that video in
default window media player.
Can some one please assist me on how this can be done .I dont
want to embed the videos but instead would like it to play on a
windows default media player.I will be publishing this project on a
CD.
I can open these videos and pdf on my computer where i create
the ..CP file with its resp s/w, but when i burn it on to a cd or a
dvd it does not open any attachments at all.(pdf, wmv ,doc).
Thanking you.
Kind Regards
Prashu

Hi Prashu
I suspect that where Andrew lives, he is probably still
tucked in bed.
You need to edit the object you are clicking to open the PDF
or video. When you do, look closely at where you typed the file
name. To the right of that area you should see a button with a down
arrow on it. Click this button and you should see different
options. One is labeled "New". Choose the New option and the link
destination will open in a new window. This should solve your first
issue. Click the button a second time and you should notice another
option. It was there before, but was in a disabled state until you
chose the New option. This one is labeled "Continue Playing
Project". DE-select that and your second issue should be solved.
Cheers... Rick

Bookmark File external to pdf but indexing into it?

We have a large book on pdf (an industry reference book), 906 pages. It is in a shared folder and marked Read-only at the OS level. Because of this, adding bookmarks is disabled.
Here is my question:
Is there any way to have a separate bookmark file (read/write) that indexes into a read-only pdf file? If this is possible, I can have my own bookmarks and not have to make the content file (the pdf file) read/write. Also, I can have my preferred bookmarks and my coworker can have her own, slightly different bookmarks.
TIA.
- Paul Schrum
Edit:
P.S. After two days and about 35 views, I see there are no responses. I take this silence to mean, "Adobe does not have this capability," which is fine. Now I know.
Product Managers, if you read this, please consider this forum post now to be a feature request.
Thanks.

Be well...

When I launch an external file (PDF) my background music stops.

I'm launching a PDF file for reading using a button. Anyway to keep the beats going? I'd like to keep my readers awake.

Hi there
Are you launching the PDF in the same window as your Captivate? If so, that totally explains it. The Captivate is being unloaded and the window is replaced with the PDF.
Cheers... Rick

RFC error in idoc to file scenario in PI 7.0

Hi Experts,
I am getting a RFC error message like this below
:u201D RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: An exception occurred that was not caught.: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception while calling Z_XI_SEND_MAIL in remote system (RfcClient[RFC_REJECTION_MAIL]):com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: An exception occurred that was not caught.u201D
Here Z_XI_SEND_MAIL is a customised function module which is calling some classes. This function module is responsible for sending emails to a group of people. This function module is working fine in acceptance server and development server but throwing exception in production. Thus the users are unable to receive emails. There has been no code changes in the function module. Idocs are being triggrred from sap r/3 system into XI, then being processed by a BPM, finally RFC (Z_XI_SEND_MAIL ) is being called to send email messages. SXMB_MONI is showing that the email message is being send to the RFC properly but communication channel is showing the above mentioned error.
Please suggest me what might be the reason of such errors?
Regards
Anupam

Hello,
Have you tested the production data in your acceptance system or development system for the interface?
Is it working fine??
It seems that the function module is generating exception, which could be due to data.

How to import the SAP R/3' rfc's and Idoc's in to the integration repositor

Hi all,
        One of my friend who is practicing with SAP XI software. He installed SAP XI and SAP R/3(using the VmwareWorkstation ) in single system. What i have seen that is,
Left side we can see(IR) the software component version's and namespaces. Under namespaces we can see imported objects. If we right click on the imported objects then it will show import of SAP objects.
            Then it generally show SAP R/3 system name and client number(800) + input text parameters for the application server and system number.
           But what it was showing that XI's system name and XI's client(100) number. Even i have entered SAP R/3 server name and system number and it's username and password. Then it was telling the corresponding client doesn't exist.
Please help me to solve this problem.
