FTP (XML) - XI - RFC (SRM)

Hi Folks,
I've implemented a simple scenario where the XI reads a XML file through a FTP Communication Channel and sends it straight to SRM, calling a RFC, without processing any interface mapping.
This Integration is working well, but I'm having some problems in inputting XFELD RFC parameters.
At the RFC Side, the String Parameters are filled correctly with the values inputted by the XML File, but the XFELD Parameters are filed with Junky Characters. Something like this:
"D43D43D43D43D43D43D43D43D43"
What is wrong with this process? Do I need to make any special configuration for XFELD parameters at XI?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lopez,
check that parameter XFELD in u r RFC from whcih field is mapped from Input XML strucutre. Check your XML palyload, whether the payload contains these values(Which you are saying as Junky).
Hope it will helps
Cheers
Veera

SAP BC XML to RFC

hi all ,
I am new to SAP BC connector. I need to configure a scenario to send data from XML to rfc. Please tell the confguration steps to do the same.
Yours help will be more appreciated.

hi,
Problem is with the response sturcture defined in the BAPI, eventhough ur scenairo is async, there will be a response message defined in BAPI.
open the RFC MI in IR you will see the response message type also, handle that at XI or ask your abaper to supress that at R/3, your problem will be solved.

XML to RFC Scenario

Hi All,
I am working on XML to RFC scenario. I've few questions.
1) how do I map XML structure with RFC?
2) The incoming XML file contains multiple records while BAPI can handle one record per time so how can I resolve this situation?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chintan

>>1) how do I map XML structure with RFC?
In Message mapping and Interface Mapping Choose the source interface as the input XML message type and the target message as the RFC request message and map it.
>>2) The incoming XML file contains multiple records while BAPI can handle one record per time so how can I resolve this situation?
You need to use BPM with mulitimapping. To call the RFC for every record you should define a Block step with mode as ForEach and add the Send step to RFC within the block.

How to ftp XML document into a XML type which is not created by itself.

Hi,
1.
I have a table call SNPLEX_DESIGN which is created automaticly when I register a snplex_design.xsd XML schema.( Oracle creates it through the xdb:defaultTable="SNPLEX_DESIGN attribute). and it is created using SNPLEX user account.
2.
I also created a folder (resource) call /home/SNPLEX/Orders. which is used to hold all the incoming XML document.
3.
I created another user account call SNPLEX_APP, which is the only user account allowed to FTP XML document into /home/SNPLEX/Orders folder.
Isuues,
If I login as SNPLEX user, I can ftp XML document into the folder and TABLE (the file size = 0). But If I login as SNPLEX_APP user account, I can only ftp XML document into the folder, but Oracle doesn't store the document into the table( becuase the files size shows a number).
I have granted all the ACL privileges on the /home/SNPEX/Orders folder to SNPLEX_APP hrough OEM.
DO I miss anything. Any helps will be great appreciated. Resolve this issues is very import to us, sicne we are on a stage to roll system into production.
Regards,
Jinsen

IN order for a registered schema to be available to other users the schema must be registered as a GLOBAL, rather than a LOCAL Schema. This is controlled by the third agument passed to registerSChema, and the default is local. Note that you will also need to explicity grant appropriate permissions on any tables created by the schema registration process to other users who will be loading or reading data from these tables.

Error 'Program not registered' while testing RFC - SRM to MDM / TCP/IP conn

Hello All,
While testing RFC connection in SRM, we are getting this error. This connection between SRM to MDM. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Error Details LOCATION: SAP-Gateway on host <hostname> / sapgw<instance no>
our server OS : windows 2008 server
We are getting error while doing connection test in SRM.
This is sm59 connection (TCP/IP ) connection.
Connection Type: T / RFC destination Name: MDM_API_CATALOG
Registered server program: hostname.MDS
I checked smgw transaction ..Logged on clients...Program id is not showing. Any hint will be helpful.
I Checked this MDM setup also.
MDS setup
In mdm server go to folder F:\usr\sap\DM1\MDS00\config
Open MDM.ini file in notepad
Add the below 2 entries.
SAP RFC Gateways= GWHOST=XXXX.hostnamexxx.xxx GWSERV=sapgw00
Trusted SAP Systems= XXD
This will enable gateway connection between SRM and MDM and will enable trusted connection.
For trusted connections to work, we created a service user called SRM_MDM_API with SAP_ALL in SRM and also created the same user in MDM with Default role.
Error message:

Procedure Tried
1) This procedure is for Linux OS - Similarly we tried in Windows OS ( If any procedure is wrong also, Please correct us)
To register the program login into the OS level as sudo su u2013 <sid>adm and execute the following command.
rfcexec u2013g<program id> -a<gateway host name> -x<gateway service>
rfcexec is the server program name, the <program id> can be obtained from SM59, it is case sensitive and should match with the entry in SM59. The <gateway host name> and <gateway service> can be obtained from the transaction SMGW. When this command is executed it goes to a hanging loop.
The connection will fail once this command is terminated or the user executing this command logs off
2)
To avoid this, instead of using the above mentioned command an entry should be made in the file saprfc.ini
To do this, execute the following command
sudo su u2013 <sid>adm
rfcexec u2013D<destination name>
<destination name> is the RFC destination name in SM59
In order to do above step 2, we could not find saprfc.ini in windows 2008 server. Please let us know path where it will be usually?
3) Already checked the notes sapnote_0000684841
I know that it is generic error..This is happening to specific one of system only.
Thanks

Hello SM,
Thanks for your quick reply.
Thanks for sharing link for document ie Configure the MDM Administration_cockpit. It is helpful. I read that document.
But still issue remain there.
The same RFC connection works between SRM sandbox to MDM sandbox.
Only issue with SRM Prod to MDM Prod (newly built system)
difference between MDM Prod and MDM sandbox.
MDM Prod runs: Windows server 2008 OS
MDM Sandbox runs: Windows server 2003 OS
Landscape: PI7.1, MDM 7.1 and SRM 5.5, SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0
Even i did os01 tcode ping test using host name (specific IP address) from SRM prod to MDM prod, it is fine.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I checked these notes also
Note 353597 - Registering a server program
Note 44844 - No connection to registered RFC program
Note: in smgw tcode in SRM system, the required program id is not showing in logged on clients
Thanks

if you are using file adapter, with the transport protocol as FTP, then the path name of the ftp location should be generally of unix format, and the directories generally start with /
in somecases, if you are using filesytem(NFS) as transport protocol, its better to use forward slash e.g. C:/directory instead of C:\directory.

How to map user-defined fields in XML communication on SRM site

Hi All!
We use the External sourcing scenario and we transfer requirements from ERP in SRM through XI (PurchaseRequestERPSourcingRequest_In)
We should transfer the user-defined fields, but we can not map it in SRM site.
We have enhanced enterprise service in XI, have realized BADI PUR_SE_PRERPSOURCINGRQCO_ASYN on ERP site.
I see the XML message with ours z-fields in tr. SXI_MONITOR (into SRM), but I can not find it in BBP_PDISC.
We try to use BADI BBP_SAPXML1_IN_BADI (there is no method for SC), and BADI /SAPSRM/BD_SOA_MAPPING (z-fields is empty)
Someone can tell how to map user-defined field for SC?
Thanks in advance
Evgeny Ilchenko

Hello, Julia
We have found solution our problem
We have enhanced standard service in a new enhancement name space and defined own enhancement elements in our namespaces. Then these enhancement elements refered to the SAP standard Enterprise Service.
But In our new interfaces were different XML namespaces
When we have correct an error we could use the next BADI
on ERP site: PUR_SE_PRERPSOURCINGRQCO_ASYN
on SRM site: /SAPSRM/BD_SOA_MAPPING

XML Problem: RFC Function with XSTRING or raw table (4.6C)

hello,
I have a serialized XML-Document, i.e. a xstring or a raw table. Now I want to write a RFC Function Module that sends/receives this data. I'm running on 4.6C. Is this possible under 4.6C?
I've managed to write a Function module with appropriate parameters (XML in a raw table) that works fine, but I can't declare it as a <b>remote</b> function module. Is there a standard method of importing binary XML Data via RFC in 4.6C?

Pass ftp filename to RFC

Hi
I have a scenario in which I need to pull a file from a ftp location and move it to another ftp location. When I am doing this, I need to pass the file name to an rfc ( This is not synchronous..means the file name is passed to rfc and it will trigger a function to do some other process) . How I can achieve this? Your suggestions highly appreciated
Thanks
Skaria

Hi,
1. Set Adapter-Specific Message Attribute in the sender file adapter.
2. Use the following UDF to get the filename from the dynamic configuration and pass it to the RFC.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;

Ftp/xml: @ character at the end

I receive a file from an AS/400 machine. The process is as follows: AS/400 generates an xml file. It ftps the file to a folder location. Biztalk uses the file adapter to pick this up.
The weird thing that's happening is that the AS/400 generates a proper xml file. But when the AS/400 ftps this file to a Windows, it appends a bunch of @ characters at the end. Does somebody have an explanation? Additionally, can I workaround with this in
Biztalk?

Never seen a case when files from AS/400 had ‘@’ in it. Even you have secured ftp (FTP-S), the chances for some character to be appended at the
end is less. I have seen BOM (Byter Order Marks) which appear at the beginning of the file content as opposed to end of the file content. Just to remove the probability of this problem due
to “secured” part of ftp, drop (or ask the hosting team) the file manually at the ftp folder and see what comes to BizTalk. Just remove AS/400 from the picture and drop the file manually to see whether is it due to the end
system (AS/400) to due to any process in the transportation (network infrastructure) add this extra character at the end of the file.
If it’s the problem due to the source system (AS/400) or infrastructure, try to resolve the problem at their end, if not only solution is to use the custom receive pipeline component to remove the any additional characters from
the file.

Ticking the 'portal vendor' in SRM not triggering the XML message in SRM?

Dear experts,
I have ticked the 'portal vendor' in the supplier master data in SRM.
I have maintained the output medium as 'XML\XI'.
The 'permit surrogate bidding' button is unticked.
Then, I have saved the supplier master data successfully.
Still no XML message is generated for the supplier transfer to PI in the transaction SXMB_MONI.
Could you please comment what things I should look for?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Dear Nikhil/Soumyaprakash,
The XML message was not generated from the SRM system due to missing config details in the 'define system landscape directory' in the SRM system.
Now, The SRM system is generating the XML message for supplier transfer. The PI system is successfully processing the messages. On the receiver side, the SUS system is also successfully processing the message.
However, no supplier is created under the root vendor organization in SUS system. No mail is also triggered. I have also maintained the vendor and porg details in the table 'BBP_MARKETP_INFO'.
Could you please check if anything is needed to trigger the creation of vendor record in SUS?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan

Xml to RFC(BAPI) using BPM

hi
i have a scenario that is XML file TO RFC
i am new to XI, can you please help me in doing the configurations in
1) XI
2) R/3)
3) IR
4) ID
if you have screen shots of this thing please forward it to me
id:[email protected]
regards
Pradeep P N

Hi,
it's a standard non BPM scenario
(you can find many weblogs like this)
the only different thing is the RFC signature import
(inside repository)
and the use of different channels (file and RFC)
you can find many examples in my XI FAQ
(document section)

Verify if payload is a valid XML (MAIL - RFC)

What I need to do to verify if the payload is a valid XML ?
I have a process that get data from email and call a RFC:
MAIL -> XI <-> RFC.
It's run very well, but I have problens when I recept any message not expected how a text/plan sent by span for example.
Thanks!
Evandro.

Hi,
Just adding on to Henrique, From SAP help and through some tests in XI,it is seen that, the only validation that takes place within XI is for mandatory nodes and occurrence of nodes of the target message. There is no validation of the source message (workaround is shown in the blog provided below), and there is no validation of details (like length, maxLength, minLength etc.) as specified in the XSD.
Do go through these links......
/people/jacob.vandborg/blog/2005/11/29/schema-validation-of-incoming-message
The following link gives mapping XSD to JAVA.
