Help on RFC to JDBC and JDBC to RFC

Help on RFC to JDBC and JDBC to RFC
Hi Gurus
I have the scenario where an RFC will be triggered in SAP , to write to a DB2 database and insert new records in a table
and vice versa the JDBC has to read som data from a table based on a primary key, mark them as read for not be read next time and send the data to an RFC where a table in SAP will be updated.
I have never worked with JDBC before , pls advice.
is there any new issue to consider in PI 7.0 regarding JDBC
Thanks.

The requirement looks standard,
SEARCH IN SDN FOR JDBC scenarios,you will find many docs for sender as well as Receiver.

IDoc to JDBC and JDBC to IDoc Scenario

Dear All,
I am working on IDoc to JDBC and JDBC to IDoc Scenario.
I have to send Idoc from SAP to Non SAP system(.NET application) i almost configured in XI but still i don't know when my INTEGRATION will INVOKE how my data will proceed from IDOC to Oracle database(Through JDBC) and in case of revese how and when Data flow will start.
Does anyone have completed STEP by STEP scenario document for this?
How my Idoc will sent to XI?
How XI will pick up data from IDoc?
How XI will Convert data to JDBC and UPDATE in Oracle Database?
And i reverse case(JDBC to IDoc) when my INTEGRATION will INVOKE?
Where and When i can watch my process and data?
How can i test the whole integration?
I AM GETTING ERROR WHILE TESTING CONFIGURATION IN Integration Directory "Error while refreshing the XI runtime cache" and when i check this in SXI_CACHE it gives me error
"Unable to refresh cache "NO_BUSINESS_SYSTEM"
"Error during last refresh to cache"LCR_GET_OWN_BUSINESS_SYSTEM - NO_BUSINESS_SYSTEM"
Please solve all the above problems i will reward u points
thanks,
RP

RFC , IDoc , XI and JDBC receiver communication channel--- Good Design

Hi Experts,
We have developed around 60+ interfaces on PI7.1 EHP1, in that 20 interfaces sending data to Data Base using JDBC receiver communication channel, 15 interfaces ABAP inbound proxy using XI adapter,10 Scenarios using IDoc receiver channel and 15 scenarios using RFC receiver channel.
But I have created only one IDoc, XI , JDBC and RFC channel.
Is it right idea/design or do I need to create more channels to handle multiple request.
Please share your thoughts on this.
Regards,
JAM

Hi,
For XI,RFC and Idoc when it's pointing to one SAP system you don't need any further comm channels.
For JDBC , if you are pointing to only one database you can use the same channel, if the target/databse changes you need more comm channels.
Your Design is as per the standards.

Sainath Chutke

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

RFC Receiver Adapter and RFC Destination -- Help

Hi,
I would like to configure the RFC Receiver Adapter for the invokation of a RFC on SAP System (Name: ALPHA) using a RFC destination provided by another system named BETA.
I have set External Server as server type.
My first question is: I have to quote an application server gateway and a gateway service. Is this information related to a service on ALPHA or BETA?
My second question is:
It is also necessary to provide a Programm-ID. The destination on BETA is a R/3 connection and doesn't have a programm id. Where do I get this from?
And my last question is:
Is at all possible to use the RFC destination on BETA?
Any help is really appreciated...
Kind regards,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
I don't fully understand your need but:)
since both of your systems are SAP systems
why are you trying to use external server?
can't you just call RFC on BETA
and inside this RFC on beta call RFC on ALPHA?
in a sync or async way?
can you tell a little more about your requirement ?
Regards,
michal

Schedule Receiver RFC communication channel to call R3 RFC-FM.

Hi,
I have requirement that I need to schedule/trigger from PI to RFC call R3 function module. Wonder if anyone here has done similar thing before? I tried to use ATP (Availability time planning) in RWB. But this seem does not success for me as there is no response and error message for this.
Below is my configuration detail:
Configured:
1. Receiver communication channel - RFC
2. Receiver agreement with the RFC message type assigned.
3. Scheduled receiver RFC communication channel via ATP daily
*(It is possible to make scheduling job in R/3 but we are not considering this way)
Please let me know if anyone has done this before or any other suggestion to do the scheduling from PI.
Thanks!
Regards,
SP

Hi SP,
As you mentioned, ATP would allow adapter to be open and in start state. Adapter's RFC, SOAP, JMS would need some other application to trigger the message processing because these are not like pooling adapter's File, JDBC and Mail. RFC adapter channel always listening to the RFC port and FM execution. Once FM from R/3 executed then the RFC adapter would trigger it's message processing.
For Sender RFC channel: In order to trigger the RFC adapter execution at particular time then you should write a simple ABAP code which would act a batch application and which does the triggering the FM and Sender RFC channel.
For Receiver Channel: For Receiver RFC channel it's bit trichy because here you have force Receiver RFC adapter to connect backend the execute or initialize the variables without having any XI message triggered from Sender PI channel.
I have 2 ideas:
1. A little difficult approach, similar to the ABAPbatch code, you need to write a java adapter module which can trigger RFC receiver channel to connect and do an initialisation at FM at regular interval.
2. Simple approch configure a File-> 2-> RFC receiver scenario, configure File sender adapter to pick a dummy file at regular interval and RFC receiver channel does the rest.
Please let me know still you have any doubts,
Thanks,
RK

How to avoid hardcoding in RFC Lookup and JDBC Lookup during transport...

Hi All,
We have RFC and JDBC Lookups in some of our scenarios(JDBC to RFC synch)....Now problem is during transport of design objects, we have to change the business system and channel name manually in UDF in target environment....as it wont change although we define the target group in SLD.....we want to avoid this hardcoding.....one idea is we can use a business service inspite of business system and assign the comm channel to it.....this business service will be generic for all environment(dev,qua and prod)...and hence we dnt hav to hardcode....pls let me knw how to achieve or its possible or not....
waiting for ur inputs....
Regds,
Pinangshuk.

Hi,
For RFC lookup you might be doing hardcoding for Business system and RFC channel name.
Options are
1) Create value mapping for Business system. So you can maintain it in Directory part.
2) Keep the RFC channel name same for all system (Development, Quality, Production)
The details of channel can be changed in the Directory part of the respective system

Graphical message mapping examples for JDBC and RFC lookup

hi, can any body provide me graphical message mapping examples for the "JDBC Lookup" function and "RFC Lookup" function?
I'm now studying the graphical message mapping and want to try those 2 functions. thank you.
I expect the examples to be simple enoung, not need to set up much.

May be I'm too foolish to follow those links, I got issues of each links.
What I really want is an example from step0
Swarup:
Refer the Lookup document - Easy Lookup in Process Integration 7.1
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/20befc9a-aa72-2b10-ae9b-b0988791d457
The first step is "Create an RFC Enabled Function Module for look up", but where can I create the function module? Should I use ESB, IB? or use transaction 'SE11' ?
Kulkarni:
Very good links for RFC lookup with 7.0/3.0

At page6 "PI Development/Configuration", it saies "You are on the design maintenance screen in the Integration Builder.Expand the subnodes for the software component version for which you want to import interfaces".
What is "design maintenance screen" ? My IB version is: Service Pack:08 Release:NW07_08_REL.
When I open IB, it display a screen titled with "Configuration: Intergation Builder", I did not find "software component version" node on the left tree.

The Prerequisites state:
The JDBC channel to be used for the lookup must be configured and activated in the Integration Directory.
The definition of the table used for the lookup must already be imported into the ES Repository as an external definition
But I don't know how to create a JDBC channel and define the table.

Removing ABAP dump when JDBC is down in RFC- JDBC- RFC scenario

Hi All,
I need help to build one scenario.
I am working on RFC->XI->JDBC->XI->RFC scenario. It is working fine.
But problem is that whenever JDBC server is down RFC is giving ABAP dump in SAP. How can i Remove ABAP dump in SAP and give information to RFC that "JDBC is out of order"
Is it possible to implement without BPM, then How?
If not possible then what could be the steps of BPM?
Thanks & Regards

Rohan,
1.Recive Step should open the Synch - Asynch Bridge
2. Block Step --> Send Synchronous inside this step with an Exception Hanler.
3. Now in the exception ahndler step, do the necessary error handling requirement.
4. Send Step --> closes Synch Asynch bridge.
My question is what data do you want to send back to the RFC if the DB is down? This data should be populated inside the exception handling block and then this data should be mapped to the corresponding RFC response and used in the step 4.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Problem with JDBC and VARCHAR-Columns

Hi,
i have a problem handling VARCHAR-Columns via JDBC.
I.e. by using the JDBC-components of <SunONE Community Edition Update 1> any attempt to store any other then numeric values (like "0", "01", "999" etc.) in a column of type VARCHAR results in an error.
After entering the string "test" in a JTextArea or JTextField (which is linked by its document to the VARCHAR-column) i will receive:
"java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "st"/For input string: "st". I also tried the javax.sql. rowSet methods like updateString() with the same result.
Are there any knwon issues corresponding to this behaviour?

Hi Arnd,
if I understand right you are trying to insert/update value into a Varchar(1000) column. And if you set a non numeric value you get an exception "java.lang.NumberFormatException", Right?
Of course this should work with MaxDB. The exception you get doesn't come from MaxDB's JDBC driver. The driver will only throw exceptions that are derived from java.sql.Exception.
So, I guess the error comes from a layer above the JDBC layer, possibly from the JDBC-components of <SunONE Community Edition Update 1>. This would also explain why you don't see any exception in the JDBC trace.
Did you have defined any constraints for the input field (JTextArea or JTextField)?
Hope that helps.

Marco

Adapter Limitations Of Sender JDBC and Mail Adapter

hi All,
could you tell me the limitations of JDBC and Mail Adapter .i need to document these details .
Regards
Vidya Sagar

HI Vidya,
If i was you, i would do a list of things that i would need about these adapters, o i would search the SAP.help documentation for a first view and later ask about this possibility. Another way is to read the SCN doubts about these adapters and you can find some problems. You should think about the PI version as well.

Quotes question - JDBC and AS400

Hello everybody, I got a question for you about quotes in string types.
I'm trying to send data from my R3 to DB2 in AS400 and when the XI creates the SQL statement to insert the data it requires that each string is enclosed between quotes, otherwise an error will occur.
In the mapper I only assign directly the source field to the target field without any operation and this way my string won't be enclosed between quotes, my question is, Is there a way to do the same operation but getting in the target field the string between quotes?
I tried with patterns and got what I was looking for, but I'm looking for a solution that applies to all strings where I only do it once and forget it for ever.
Regards

Santana
The apostrophe character () is a reserved character in SQL syntax and is therefore replaced by an escape character if it occurs within value strings. This replacement character can be database-specific. Typical replacement characters are \ or (default value). For further info go through :
