File - File integration scenario in SAP XI 3.0

I am trying a simple file <-> file scenario in XI 3.0 . I am reading file content from an FTP server , having a simple mapping program in XI and then writing it to another foler on the FTP server.
I am completely new to XI , however worked on TIBCO EAI extensively.
I have created the following DESIGN TIME Objects and NOTHING ELSE
1) Two DataTypes , Two Message Types & Two Message Interfaces
2) An interface mapping & a message mapping object( mapping program) to convert b/w the above two message types
I have created the following CONFIGURATION TIME objects and NOTHING ELSE
1) Two Business Services ( Under Service without Party ) , and ve created a communication channel ( adapter type FILE ) under each business service
I am trying to use the Configuration Assistant under Tools menu , the doc says , i just need to select the message types & the rest will be genrated by the wizard. I choose the Business Service , but then what is the "INTERFACE" i have to choose , since nothin appears in the drop down. I tried "Internal Communication" & "Partner Communication" options but got stuck in both when choosing the "interface" object. Ideally i think i need to choose the "internal communication".
Any pointers to what am i missing will be helpful . What are the objects i need to create at Design Time & Config time to achieve the above scenario.

The Configuration Assistant does not work for business services without party. Go to the SLD and create one or two Business Systems and add them to the Integration Directory, then it should work.

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,
Steven

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Counting Integration scenario in SAP XI

Hi All,
Is it possible to count all message flow (Sender+receiver combination) available in system. I have one case where i want to find all message flow available in XI (not in SXMB_MONI).
I have following question:
1> Can I use Interface mapping for this purpose? ( but Interface mapping is not mandatory in many cases)
2> Is Receiver determination can be used?
3> Is there any other possible way by which I can identify message flow uniquely in Repository or Directory?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Gourav

Hi Michal,
Thanks for your prompt reply, but still some questions left un-answered.
3> Is there any other possible way by which I can identify message flow uniquely in Repository or Directory?
Should I use combination of Mapping, Integration scenario, split mapping to identify unique message flow because it is very important for me to identify unique message flow exist in system whether it is executed or not.
thanks again for your reply, ur answere really helpful.

Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I am new to XI. I need to know about Integration Scenario. What is it? Why we are using Integration Scenario? How it differs from Integration Process? and how to use Integration Scenario? Give a simple example (like file to file using Integration Scenario).
Thanks and Regards,
Nithya

Hi,
>>>Integration Scenario,Why we are using Integration Scenario,how to use Integration Scenario
Integration scenario is used to logically relate all XI objects for a particular scenario. It also eases the creation of configuration objects.
You use an integration scenario to define the message exchange and message flow for collaborative processes. Normally, these are processes between different business partners that are generally coupled by the exchange of messages.
The integration scenario provides you with a central point of access for all objects that you require for semantic and technical integration, for example interfaces, mappings, and software components.
You can integrate an executable integration process into an integration scenario.
Follow the blogs for more details:

>>> Integration Process
An integration process is an executable, cross-system process for processing messages. In an integration process you define all the process steps that are to be executed and the parameters relevant for controlling the process.
You implement integration processes when you want to define, control, and monitor complex integration processes that extend across enterprise and application boundaries. The design and processing of integration processes is also known as cross-component Business Process Management (cross-component BPM, ccBPM).

Pass through scenario in SAP PI with no mapping for File to IDoc and Idoc to file scenarios

Hi Experts,
Can i have step by step process in SAP PI for pass through scenario with no mapping in case of file to Idoc and Idoc to file both cases please.
What objects i can skip.
My PI system is 7.3 dual stack.
I have seen below blogs, still its confusing to me.
When and how to create an scenario in SAP PI without mapping objects.
Pass Through Scenario with no Mapping in PI 7.1
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Mohan.

Hi Mohan
In pass thru interface you don't need to create any ESR objects, only ID objects are required.
Just Create a Receiver Determination and Receiver Agreement for your scenario (no need for Interface Det. and Sender Agreement).
Specify the IDOC in the Sender Interface and namespace as urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages
Or instead of creating objects manually, Run the wizard with Idoc name/namespace in sender/receiver interface

Error in file-file scenario: HTTP response contains status code 503

Hi folks,
I've encountered the foll error in file-file scenario:
Testing file-file scenario (followed the blog: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/flatFILETOFLATFILE&)
Initially i was hving problems with recvr comm channel, which are now resolved. File is sent successfully but not recvd. I tried to modify the scenario above and change the file type to 'Text' but still got the same error.
I've checked SICF -->default_host/xi/engine , we dont maintain logon data there. when i test the default_host/xi/engine service, it resolves into an ip addr as follows:
http://<hostname>.<domain.com>:8001/sap/xi/engine?sap-client=<clientNo>
(Also, we hv a BW system running on the same server ,which uses a fully qualified domain, while we dont which is why we get the above domain. Im not sure if there are any issues with that.)
and we get the foll error:
Error Code 10060: Connection timeout
If i remove the domain manually, im prompted for userid/pwd and get the foll result:

Hi ,
Look in to this for all errors
/people/krishna.moorthyp/blog/2006/07/23/http-errors-in-xi
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay MAY be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection.
Possible Tips: Because of J2EE application com.sap.aii.af.ms.app not active
Try to (re)start the application using the Visual Administrator Choose Server --> Services --> Deploy --> View on Application or restart the J2EE engine
The problem is that not all J2EE services can be started by the J2EE. i.e Start the Visual Administrator and select Server->Services->Deploy in the tree on the left. On the right-hand side, choose the Runtime tab page. You see a tree in the right window with all applications if you select the APPLICATION radio button. Check if they are running, otherwise choose Start. Usually the J2EE engine starts all services automatically.

How can I include the Header Information....for a File to IDOC Scenario

Hi,
I made a File to IDOC Scenario with DEBMDM06 for MDM>XI>SAP R/3. The Header Information in the XML File which is at the XI end is Missing. For that reason In Tcode SXMB_MONI we are getting an Error that "HEADER Information Missing: Message should Start with EDI_DC40" i.e the Header Information.
My Question is that whether we can do some changes in the Message mapping Step in the Integration Repository. I HardCoded the Few mandatory Fields that were there but it Again gave me the Same Error as above.
Can you please Suggest some Solution for this. Since the data is Coming in from MDM part the Header information is not there but It actually Important as it has got all the Port Information.
Kindly Inform me some Solutions.
Thanks & Regards
Somnath

Hi Suraj,
Thanks for ur Reply, but Since we are Doing a File to IDOC Scenario the IDOC DEBMDM is on the Right Side in Message Mapping and as U know it is Mandatory to Map an IDOC on the Right Part. EDI_DC40 is coming as it is there in the IDOC but our XML File Does not have that. If we Don't Map then it Becomes RED, which is an Error.
Furthermore in the Receiver Agreement we have put the Necessary Details such as Sender Service and Receiver Service along with the IDOC Communication Channels.
Can U give as a Better Insight on this Note how to check the Header Part as it is mandatory to MAP.We also tried to HARDCODE it by putting those Values and Mapping them to a Constant but it is Giving the Same Error.
Thanks and Regards
Somnath

Hi,
The problem occurs when sender and receiver business system or business service does not have a logical system name.
ID - Integration Directory
Posting the IDOC'S into SAP R/3 System, sender and receiver business system or business service requires the logical system name. If the business system (Web As ABAP) does not have the logical system name, then add the logical system for business system.
If business system type = Web AS ABAP, then add the Logical system in Technical System level and Save.
If business system type = Third-Party, then add the logical system in business system level and Save.
If the business service does not have the logical system name in ID, it needs to be configured as follows.
Go to ID and click the Business service -> Services -> Adapter Specific Identifiers. Enter the logical system name and Save.
Apply and activate.
hope this will help you.

How to configure receiver communication channel in File to mail scenario?

Hi all,
I'm working in FIle-to-Mail Scenario. I did all the required configuration In Integration repository. As per my Scenario whenever a text file stored in Application server of the R/3 system. it should be sent as a attchment with a mail.so i set a sender communication channel with file adapter in sender R/3 system . i dont know which business system should i refer for my receiver communication channel.because my receiver end is a mail server. should i create any third party business system for this one?
can anyone suggest me to define a receiver comm channel in a right manner?
helpful answers will be rewarded.

Idoc to flat file using Integration process does not show up at all

Hello All,
I created a scenario IDOC to Flat File using Integration Process and one without IntegrationProcess. I am able to execute the one without Integration Process easily.
However when I send the IDOC from SAP then the Integration Process scenario just does not work.
I Checked SXMB_MONI There is no entry for the Integration Process.I can see entry for other without Integration Process.
SXI_CACHE : I can see my Integration Process active
SWEQADM : I have activated the Event Queue and Background job
SWF_XI_ADM_BPE : ALL BPE is showing green status.
All syntax check on IP are fine.
There is no Basis Help for me so there could be some additional basis steps which need to be configured. Has anyone faced such an issue with Integration Process?
Regards
Prashanta

Hope this might help you. when u configure an IDoc as Sender with BPM this is how you proceed.
1. let us split the scenario into two.
a. Sender to BPM ( Integration Process).
b. BPM to Receiver.
2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.
a. Sender Agreement( Not required ).
b. Receiver Agreement( NOT Required).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(Integration Process).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.
a. Sender Agreement( NOT Required)
b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(Integration process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver service, Inbound Interface).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service(Integration Process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver Service).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface, Message Mapping(NOT Required)).
So Finally we have One Receiver Agreement, Two Receiver Determinations, Two Interface Determinations.
Please let me know if you have any more queries.

File-File: Message are in Waiting state in Integration Engine

Hi,
I am trying to execute File-File integration scenario and the message is in Waiting state in Integration Engine.
I am getting the following error in sxmb_moni:
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">JCO_SYSTEM_FAILURE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Server repository could not create function template for 'SMPP_CALL_JAVA_RUNTIME</SAP:P1>
I am getting the following error in the Visual Admin Trace:

Can any one tell me how to provide RFC authorization to SAPJSF user.
Thanks in advance,
Nagarjuna

hi,
that is the reason for your problem
The user entered for LOGON in that does not have the requisite privileges.
Would sugget you contact your basis team and ask them to make the connection going. Then, this problem will be resolved.
To add more, SLDAPI and the rest are used for the connection between your ABAP and JAVA Stack. As, your mapping gets executed in the JAVA stack, during the execution, as this connection failed, so did your process.
Get this onnection up and reunning and it willsolve this issue.

Bhavesh

File to Mail Scenario error

Hi All,
I did file to mail scenario. The source structure contain the following elements like <to>....</to>, <Subject>........</subject> etc (the source structure created by me). In Integration Directory I set the Mail adapter Message protocol as "XIPAYLOAD" and Mail attribute "Use Mail Package" selected. So here my scenario should send a mail to which has i given "To Id" in my source structure. But when i go to SXMB_MONI, I found my message as red flag and it is showing information like "thrown during application mapping". Here what is the problem and how can i rectify the problem, please any one help me,
Thanks & Regards,
