File to IDoc process steps?

Hi guys,
What are the pipe line steps? means how the file picks up from source and how the file posts to target.
Regards
Gopi

In XI if you are looking into the arch. the pipeline steps are
Receiver Determination -> Interface Determination -> Message Split-> Message Mapping -> Technical Routing -> Call outbound Adapter
In case of a File to IDoc you need to have the following settings done
In XI
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to R3
IDX1 - define the port with the above dest.
In R3
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to XI
WE21 - define the port with the above dest.
WE20 - Partner profile type outbound

Inbound file for IDOC processing

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to create an IDOC by using INBOUND FILE option in WE19. Can anybody suggest, how the flat file will look like ?
FYI, my Idoc type is BBP_PCSTAT01 ( Procurement Card Statement).
Any idea ?
Thanks and Warm Regards.
Pras Durafe

This is an example of idoc with flat-file:

Help in creation of XML file for IDOC postings

Hi All,
Need help if anyone has knowledge/experience in creating XML files for IDOC processing.
We need to design an input file (in XML format) for creation of IDOCu2019s for purchase Invoices through Interface.
We have an existing input file, which is working correctly. We are trying to modify this existing input file for a new Tax Code (Non-deductible inverse tax liability). This tax code is working fine for manual postings. But, through IDOC, tax postings are not correctly triggering.
Could you please confirm if any one has experience on this, so that I can share more details for resolving.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

Hello,
you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.

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 to idocs - sequence of inbound processing

Hi everybody,
we have a file to (2) idocs scenario. In XI we map the received data of vendors into two idocs (adrmas and cremas). After building the idocs we send them in that sequence to the reveiver systems (recommended). The problem is that in the receiver system very often the idoc cremas wants to be processed before adrmas is ready. This leads to the error "vendor xy is blocked by user sapale". Especially for massprocessing I get a lot of these error-messages in bd87. As workaround I processed all the error-idocs by the report rbdmani2. (First step adrmas - second step cremas) But then I face missing data in some cases in table lfa1 - which seems to me that the sequence of 1. adrmas and 2. cremas was not correct processed.
Is there a possibility for inbound processing with the rule process adrmas - wait until ready - process the associated cremas and so on?
I checked the sap-help article for seralisation - but we could not achieve a better result by queing the outgoing messages in the xi.
Thanks very much.
With kind regards
Jörg

You have to get a solution based on the following concepts
1. Do not use BPM it is not efficient
2. Understand what is the difference between an IDOC in received state and processed state. Received state mean IDOC is saved into IDOC table. Processed state mean IDOC processed into the business system.
3. You can ASK BASIS guy to turn on the immediate IDOC processing option in SAP system,so that SAP process the IDOC as soon as it arrive in IDOC table. This is not efficient, in case if your SAP system has to process SAP online client request and SAP document (inbound and outbound) same time.
4. Understand the concept of standard based integration, mean integration system provide the option to business parties to provide the successfull message transfer.
Based on all these points I recomend you to follow the steps below.
1. Extract each record from the input files into two idocs.
2. Send the first IDOC to the receiving system
3. Send the second IDOC to a ESB storage such as DATABASE, JMS Queue, MQ Series Q (if you have available) or even to another File.
4. Develop an RFC module to check the status of the IDOC being send to the receiving system. Status here mean whether the IDOC data processed into the business system. You can do this lookup using a custom RFC lookup using the attribute connecting the first IDOC record with second IDOC.
5. Process the records (second IDOC) from the intermediate storage using the RFC lookup into the business system updates its status as ready to deliver.
6. Using another process such as FILE to IDOC or JMS to IDOC or JDBC to IDOC send each record which are ready to process from intermediate storage to the receiving system.
7. Create a report using FILE or JMS, JDBC adaptor module to keep track of these three stage processing, so that in case an inconsistency happed you will have an auditing trace available.
This is the standard based integration approach.
ABAP guys, BASIS guys they may not get it when then repair a BMW in local auto workshop, cuz I had to fight with them 4 years ago to make it happen in Verizon supply chain project where I had to accomplish the same concept in SAME IDOCS you mentioned here.
BPM, turning on immediate processing of IDOCS etc will end up in buying another 16 CPU hardware and BASIS guys or ABAP guys running BAD record IDOC processing report for 350.00 hr consulting FEES.
SAP is a good company and XI is a good product, as long as it is being used as per right usage.

Steps required in File to Idoc Scenario

Hey guys i m doin a file to Idoc scenario and just wanna make sure my steps r correct.
steps done on the XI server
1.Create RFC destination(test the destination by giving the target host as the R/3 server).
2.Create port for the RFC destination.
steps on the R/3 side
1.Create/verify logical system name.
and finally create business system for this logical system in SLD.
now do i need to do partner profile as well or not? and if i have to do it how is it accomplished.
thanx
ahmad

Hi,
The following are needed for idoc to file scenario...
In R3...
RFC dest to XI (sm59)
Logical system (bd54)
Port to XI (we21)
Partner profile for the logical system (we20)
In XI...
RFC dest to R3 (sm59)
Port to R3 (idx1)
create metadata for the idoc (idx2)
In sld...
create business system for R3.

File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

Hi all
I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
Regards
Naina

Rajesh/Amar
TCode:: SXMB_ADM->Integration engine configuration->specific configuration->runtime
Trace_Level = 3 then you can get all MONI PIPELINE Steps also
I did this change but cudn't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
This is how i have configured my process:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating

Naina

File to IDOC, with External Definition to hold multiple IDocs

Hello Experts,
I am configuring a sample File to IDOC scenario. Here are the steps I am following, can you please guide me what I am missing here.
I am having a flat file with 10 records to be transferred to my ECC system through IDOC adapter to create 10 different IDocs.
1. I am picking up my flat file using a 3rd party Business System with File Content Conversion
2. I uploaded CREMAS Idoc and exported as XSD file and modified Occurences paramter to unbounded and uploaded back as an External file definition into IR
3. I defined an SAP WEBAS ABAP type Business System with LS (representing my ECC system) and configured with IDOC Rcvr channel.
4. In the IDOC recvr Channel, I specified RFC destination pointing to my ECC system & Port, Release...etc
5. On the ECC side, I configurated a PARTNER PROFILE with the above mentioned LS(used in step 3) and added an Inbound Idoc paramter CREMAS with process code CRE1. Selected the option Trigger Immediately.
Testing:
1. When I checked my CC monitoring in RWB, my file on the sourced is getting picked up successfull with respect to the specified polling intervals.
2. I don;t see any messages in my SXMB_MONI. I verified SXMB_ADM configuration it looks fine to me
3. I used TCode:WE02 on ECC side, nothing is there
4. I used Tcode SM58 on ECC side, nothign is there
I have no idea what is happening after successfully picking up the file on the source side.
Is there a way to trace where exactly the error is or what is wrong with my scenario?
Just an observation, We don;t need to specifiy any LS on the Sender Business Sytem(3rd party in my case) which picks up my file on the source side. Rather I am specifiying LS on the Target Business Sytem(type WEBAS ABAP in my case) to send my IDOC to ECC system. I am using the same LS to define PP on ECC system.
Edited by: Chris Rock on Oct 21, 2008 5:03 PM

Aamir,
I tried full cache refresh, also cleared SLD Cache for both IR & ID. No luck.
I think either some thing wrong in connection parameters, but atleast if I see some error in Moni or RWB, it helps, but in my situation, nothing is showing up there.
Connections:
I specified PORT & RFC Dest in IDOC RCVR Adapter along with WEBAS Release version. These PORT & RFCs are created in XI using SM59 & IDX1 and both passed the connection test.
On the ECC side, I created a PP with inbound Idoc CREMAS and process code as CRE1. This PP uses the LS that was used in RCVR BS specified in XI side.
I also loaded Idoc meta data into XI with Tcode: IDX2
Please help me, any body. I will sincerely award the points.

ALE Configurations in File to IDOC Scenario

Hi All,
We are doing File to IDOC Scenario.
ALE Configurations done:
R/3 Side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to XI.
2. Created port in R/3(using automatically generated port name) and assigned the RFC dest created above.
3. Created partner profile and assigned the ports to the message types.
4. Created Logical system
XI side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to r/3.
2. Created port using IDX1 transaction with port name starting with SAP<SID> and assigned the RFC dest created above. (SID of XI)
3. Unable to load metadata in XI.
Now we are unable to test the scenario as it provides an error message in MONI as "Error: Transaction IDX1: Port SAP<SID>, client , RFC destination contain errors".
Also Let me know whether the steps mentioned above are correct for the scenario.
