File to IDOC Scenario using BPM

Hi Experts,
I am working on file-Bapi-Idoc scenario using BPM.
I have two conditions
1. If the Sonumber is populated then need trigger an Bapi_change
2.If the Sonumber is not populated from the file then need to trigger a Bapi_Createfromdat to create the sales order and receive the salesorder number as response from Bapi
and the response of these BAPIs should be validated whether the Bapi is successful or not.
If it is successful message then need to trigger IDOC or else should throw an alert message.
let me know the steps involved in this scenario.
can i send alert message to other email IDs or can i send it to only XI admin?
Please let me know u r inputs.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hey,
You need to have a BPM for this.
BPM design.
Recieve step(abstract asynchronous) for file structure
Switch Case(condition whether sonumber is populated or not)
if populated
Branch 1(of switch)
    transforamtion step:- mapping between File and Bapi_Change(Request structure)
Send step(abstract syncronous) To send the BAPI_change
Branch 2(of switch)
transformation step:-mapping between file and BApi_Create
Send step(abstract synchronous) To send the BAPI_Create
Block step(which will include the Switch step)
    trigger an Execption in case of an error(in any of the two branches) through the block
    The Exception will trigger an alert.
Now after the Block step there will be a transformation step(which will have the mapping between RFC response and Idoc)
Next is the send step(abstract asynchronous) for the idoc
In case if there is no exception the Idoc will be triggered or the exception branch will trigger the alert
rewards points if useful

File to SOAP Scenario Using BPM

Hi,
I am doing File to SOAP scenario using BPM.
while doing Integration Process in IR, i got the following error message
"Expression of simple type xsd:string expected"
But i have given xsd:string in the correlation element as well as in Data types.
I dont know why it is getting the error.
could you anyone please help me to sort out?
Regards,
Sai Ch.

Hey,
Check in the correlation editor, where you define the condition.
Whether the data type of the XPath is string and whether it matches with the data type of the messages that you have selected.also make sure the type of the correlation variable is string.

File to IDOC scenario using FTP server

Dear Experts,
I'm getting IDOCs in the form of .TXT file from sender side and at reciever end we have IDOC. We are using FTP connection at sender.
I want to know:
1. Is FCC the only solution to integrate with PI or do we have any other option also?
2. What all the things I need to care in designing and configuration?
Thanks a lot.

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.

File to Idoc Scenario using third party systems

hi,
Working with a File to Idoc Scenario. Been able to successfully define everything in IR / ID. However when I go to BD87 (reciever system) and see the status of Idoc processed - getting the error code 51 "Function Module Not Allowed: <Function Name>" . What could be the reason for this???
Have defined partner profiles in WE20 of type LS and also specified an inbound paramter in the post processing tab for partner profile. Are there any other settings I need to take care of to avoid getting that error.

Message Split -- File to Idoc Scenario - ( Without BPM )

I have multiple records coming to XI in a File and I have to create Multiple Idocs to R/3.
Due to Complexity of mapping I'm splitting Maaping step into 2 message Mappings.
A-->B
B-->C
In the 2nd Mapping step I'm doing message Split meaning for each Source record I'm creating multiple Idocs ( To be precise each record on the source becomes 4 idocs in the Target.
2nd Mapping step is as follows
Source 1..1
Sourcerecord 0.. Unbounded
 field1 0..1
 field2 0..1
 filed3 0..1
Target
Message 1
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
 Idoc Structure..
Message 2
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
Message 3
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
Message 4
 Idoc 1.. Unbounded
So based on some criteria each record of Source will be mapped to 4 Messages ( 1 each under each Message )
Is it possible to do this without BPM?. Iam sending all these Idocs to same R/3 System.
Thanks for any help..RK

Hi,
See the blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
Basicly we have 2 ways of handling such scenarios:
- we can use a block step and send multiple IDOCs from our BPM
- we can also do a little trick and send multiple IDOCs from the XI without a BPM
The first approach is a standard XI approach. It involves the use of a BPM
so the speed of this transfer many not be very good in case you'd like to send
hundreds or thousands of IDOCs in just one call.
The second approach uses a little trick that was mentioned several times
on the XI Froum by a number of XI developers but is still not very clear to the XI newbies.
It allows us to send multiple IDOCs without the use of a BPM. Most probably this will be your choice
if you'd like to use such 1:N (IDOCs) scenarios effectively.

File to RFC Scenario using BPM

Hi,
Scenario:We have to post data 1 by 1 to SAP and also handle errors
The file will be picked by the sender file adapter and given to bpm,bpm (uses message splitting) posts the data one by one to the sap r/3 system using receiver rfc adapter.
errors could be due to connectivity..in this case we need to send alerts to users uing alert framework.
good blogs or docs or ppt/pdf explaining a similar kind of scenario, will be highly helpful.
thanks,

File -- IDOC scenario using XI 3.0

Hi
I tried out a simple flat file to IDOC scenario using XI as the middleware and tried to post documents of type CREMAS03 on the backend R/3 system.
Now, I see that there is an IDOC number generated in the XI layer by the IDOC adapter. This IDOC number is seen under <SAP:DOCNUM>XXXXXXXXXX</SAP:DOCNUM>in the
Response-->IDOCOUTBOUND section of the pipeline in SXMB_MONI
According to SAP documentation :
To enable you to select IDocs in the target system later on, the system transfers the message GUID and the IDoc number in the ARCKEY field of the IDoc control record.
Now, I do find the XI msgid given as arckey in the control record of the Inbound in the target R/3 backend system. But I cannot find the XI IDOC number being cross referenced in the control record of the IDOC in the R/3 backend.
1.Is there a way to cross reference the IDOC number in XI with the IDOC number in the R/3 backend ( we have two different IDOC numbers, right ) i.e a IDOC number to IDOC number cross referencing in this File-->IDOC inbound into the R/3 system scenario involving XI
2. In the XI box, do we get as a part of async.reponse from the R3 system, the IDOC number that is created within the R3 system ? This would serve directly as a cross reference. Or do we have to indirectly query EDIDC table in the R/3 backend with the arckey value = msgid in XI - to retrieve the IDOC number created in the R3 backend ?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi,
Pls look into following link about Acknowledgement.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm
Pls note that , you can't get/receive the Acknowledgement for Sender File Adapter. Because File System acts as an Async system. But you can get the Idoc response and you can write it into another file. For this you need to use BPM.
Hope this helps..

XI 3 File to IDoc scenario - Still referencing Old Logical system

Hi
Dont know if you can help. I have a file to idoc scenario using XI 3 to R/3 4.6c system.
I had the interface working from a third party system XMLHUB to SAP R/3. The Logical system name for the XMLHUB was XMLHUB01 in the SLD which I have set up as a partner profile in R/3. I have recently changed the logical system name to XMLHUBDEV01 in the SLD and created that logical system in R/3 and changed the partner profile to XMLHUBDEV01.
Unfortunately in the sender information of the IDoc the partner number is still XMLHUB01 and not XMLHUBDEV01. I don't understand where this partner is sent from to get into the control record of the IDoc.
I have cleared the SLD cache in both the Repository and the directory. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Any help would be appreciated.

Daniel

Fault message type using in File to IDoc Scenario

Hi,
I have successfully configured File to IDoc scenario. Now I am thinking to add some flavour to it by using Fault message type.
Can I use fault message type without using any proxies?
Can some body help in giving an answer to my question and provide some weblogs to achieve the configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Suraj Kumar

Hi Suraj,
With IDOCs, you cannot set up fault messages as it is async mode communication. There is not control which waits for the processing of the message/application errors as you have it in case of synch mode.
But, you can set up acknowledgement using ALEAUD. Check this for more /people/saravanakumar.kuppusamy2/blog/2005/01/20/configuration-tips-for-a-business-serviceintegration-process-to-send-back-ale-audit-idoc

Error handling in File - XI - SOAP scenario without BPM

Hello!
We have a File -> XI -> SOAP scenario without BPM. The problem is that if the Web Service sends back an error XI tries to reprocess the same message again and again instead of taking the next one.
We do not want set the retry interval to NULL because most error cases are temporary connection problems and then also those messages would not automatically be reprocessed any more.
We also have to use BE instead of EO, otherwise the Web Service will not return a response. But we need the response to be sure that the processing was successful. The message volume in this scenario is quite high and we do not want to use BPM only for the error handling.
I know that from SP19 some additional adapter modules are available for async - sync scenarios without BPM. I tried to configure it like described in File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19. but it did not solve the problem. Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks.
Regards, Tanja

Hi Tanja,
>>>The volume is 3000 messages/day on business days and 700 messages/day during weekends but the traffic will increase in the future
I think, you should check that out. It is assumedly only 2 days work to build a scenario:
IDoc -> BP
BP <-> SOAP/HTTP
BP -> IDoc (Acknowledgement)
In the process you need a condition branch, where you decide success or not. You need 2 Interface Mappings for filling the ALEAUD.
Just send 1000 IDocs to the Test-XI and look to performance monitoring at Runtime Workbench, to find out, how many message will be processed in one hour. Assumedly 3000 and more per day should be possible. The advantage would be to reduce number of systems (no file system) and messages (better monitoring) and using the standard (better maintenance).
>>>So you are suggesting I should use HTTP adapter and then add the SOAP header manually in a mapping?
Yes, build the SOAP envelop during the mapping. Most easy is to use XSL or, if your mapping is ready, an additionsal XSL. You can put the error into the Acknowledgement to see it in ERP transaction WE02.
Filling of ALEAUD fields:
E1ADHDR/MESTYP: original message type
E1ADHDR/E1STATE/DOCNUM: original IDoc number
E1ADHDR/E1STATE/STATUS: 68 in case of error, 53 in case of success
E1ADHDR/E1STATE/STATXT: Short description for R/3 user what has happend
I ve done such a scenario several times. That works without any problems.

Udo

How to get Idoc acknowledgment in File to Idoc scenario

File to IDoc Scenario exception handling

I have configured Time bound File to IDoc scenario with processing mode in Sender adapter as 'Delete'. And it is running perfectly. I am trying to add additional functionality to the scenario, i.e.,if a file does not exist on the ftp server, a mail should be sent to a recipient.
May be using Java proxy is not appropriate, as poll interval does not be accounted in Java Proxy and file server should be having Java runtime.
Please can any one suggest, how this can be acheived?
Regards,
Suraj Kumar

Hi Bhavesh,
What you have understood is correct?
Any way, I will come out in more detail.
My Ftp server: //yhsap/xi
File: xi_for_upload.txt
Sender Adapter: File Adapter using content conversion with processing mode as 'Delete' and poll interval is 600sec.
Simple Mapping is achieved.
Receiver Adapter: IDoc Adapter.
So, if file is not available in Source system, send mail to [email protected]
Can you suggest a suitable solution?
VasanthaKumar: After adding wait step in BPM, can you please illustrate me how to ping the ftp server and how to read whether file is there? Can you please explain in more detail.
Thanks & Regards,
Suraj Kumar
