HOWTO: Process IDocs from non-SAP sender

Hi everybody!
I have a small problem with the following scenario:
There is an external, non-SAP system that is able to send IDocs. Those (customer-) IDocs are as of now processed by an R/3 backend. Now this solution has to be migrated to an XI-based scenario:
IDoc mult. IDocs
ext.System ---------> XI Integr. Process ---->-->---> R/3
However, all the documentation I found so far is based on an SAP R/3 sender system - and I can't seem to get the configuration for this particular scenatio right. Do any of you have relevant documentation?
Thanx in advance,
Joerg

Hi,
I have to admit - the scenario is somewhat esotheric. But regarding your questions:
Since there has been a communication before, we have the IDoc metadata in the R/3 backend. Using transaction IDX2 I have been able to load the metadata into the XI system w/o problems.
The external system has a certified SAP IDoc "connector" (as they call it) that is able to post the IDoc data- presumably through JAVA JCo or some other method. The only thing that matters to me is that they are right now sending IDocs to the backend directly - without files or something like that.
Now my <i>real</i> problem is that of receiver determination etc. Everytime I send an IDoc to the business process, the external system gets the error message
[code]
com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE:
No service for system <name of external system>,
client <name of XI client> in Integration Directory.
[/code]
This message occurs although I think I have configured the process correctly. Here I try to supply the pipeline of my process:
[code]
SENDER                RECEIVER                REC.DET.
<XI system>           <business proc.>
    <rec. idoc>           <abstr. itf. inp.> n/a
<external system>     <business proc.>
    <rec. idoc>           <abstr. itf. inp.> n/a
<business proc.>      <R/3 backend>
    <abstr. itf. inp.>    <send idoc>         IDoc
[/code]
(Showing this in HTML is veeerys awkward
But this doesn't seem to work...
Any ideas?

HOWTO: Process IDocs To non-SAP receiver

Hi Experts!
Today our SAP R/3 sent the IDoc LOIPRO to non-SAP external system, called O2P.
Now, we would like to send this IDoc (LOIPRO) to XI, and the XI sends the IDoc to the non-SAP external system.
Then, our scenario will be:
Step 1. The IDoc LOIPRO is sent from SAP R/3 to XI
Step 2. Inside the XI, this message is routing and mapping to the
IDoc LOIPRO too.
Step 3. The XI sends the IDoc LOIPRO to the O2P (non-SAP external system).
Well, until Step 2, everything is OK.
But, we are having troubles to create an IDoc Adapter receiver to O2P (external system), because the O2P is a non-SAP system.
So, how can we create the communication channel IDoc Adapter, if the receiver isn't a R/3 system ?
All information will be welcome.
Thanks a lot,
Honorato

HI,
You can achieve this by dealing with the Native IDOC structure via Integration server for Non-sap systems.
In this case you can use the IDOC adapter to receive the IDOCs to Non-SAP system. Its like treating the receiver Non-SAP system as an SAP system only. For this Non-SAP system should be compatible enough and SAP certified to accept the IDOC structures..
Refer similar kind of discussions and reference docs.

Receiving IDocs from non-SAP system ...

Hello guys,
I have problem with implementing IDoc-XI-IDoc scenario. The sender system is a subsystem (non-SAP system) sending IDocs but XI is not able to receive them. I thing the IDoc metadata can not be found.
Logical system name of the sender is IF6020DEV. I registered the system in SLD. In Integration Directory I imported the Bussines System IF6020DEV to my scenario and I created communication channel of type Sender IDoc Adapter in it.
In IDX2 I created new port called IF6020DEV and I copied needed metadata into the port. But it doesn't work. Probably I don't do it right because I'm beginner with SAP XI.
Could you give me any advice how to configure XI for receiving IDocs from non-SAP system?
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Zbynek

Thank you very much. The issue described in refered discussion is almost same issue what I'm solving. Unfortunetally the described solution dosn't work for me.
The sender system still returns following error. I know you probably won't understand it because you don't know the subsystem, but maybe you could get some idea what is wrong.

Stop generation of Inbound IDOC from Non - SAP

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to update data base PA0105 for Email. The Email is coming for external system (Non SAP), which contains 1 employee in 1 IDoc. If SAP has valid email and same has been passed for external system to SAP via Inbound IDoc, it should not update PA0105. Hence, I am deleting the IDOC segments in Exit "ZXHALU07", before RBDAPP01 is getting called. As per the requirement its working fine.
Question: Is there any way to stop generating the IDOC. If the email ID were same, then IDoc should not generate in SAP. Please provide your valuable reply. Thanks.
Regards,
Ganesh R K.

Hi All,
Scenario:
Need to Create Inbound IDOC in SAP system and receive it from Non Sap system.
Problem:
IDOC is successfully dispatched from Non Sap system(Sender Side) but, it is not received to SAP system(Receiver Side).
At receiver side(in SAP system) all configuration settings are fine (RFC destination is tested with no errors, partner profile are given with the inbound parameters, function module is successfully tested with no errors, distribution model is created etc).
In receiving system(SAP) no IDOCs are generated in We02 after sending the IDOC from Non Sap side.
Can any one please suggest me the reason for the above mentioned problem?
Thank you,

Sending IDoc from Non-SAP system to XI

Dear all,
We have a non sap system which needs to send IDoc to XI, Please could you answer my following four questions
1. What should be the values for the following fields in the IDoc control record
e.g. RCVPRN = <logical system name of XI>
SNDPOR
SNDPRT
SNDPRN
RCVPRT
RCVPOR
2. How does XI decide which port(idx1) to be used when it receives an idoc
3. The third party system is a non sap one, so it does not have a client no, so I would assume, I need to use another SAP system as a meta data provider, in that case, how would i tell XI to use that port when it receives IDocs from the non-SAP system ?
4. In what step does XI use the logical system name of the Business system(in SLD)?
Thanks in advance
cheers
danus

Hi
there is bit wrong interpretation of the statement
If the sender system is a non-SAP system, the sender service is identified from the logical system name of the sender port.
If the sender system is nonSAP it indicates taht the data is coming to XI from non sap systems such as file, database, webservice etc. to XI and from XI it will pass to sap as IDOC inbound.
For this you need to create the logical system in SAP (receiver) and pass on that value to IDOC header.
You could maintain it in the Business service used for Sender system (nonSAP). here it will be available in the tabs ---> History.
note : IDOC is the concept of data container in SAP, you will not be able to have the IDOCs in non sap systems...
Thanks

Idoc inbound processing? from non-sap system?

Hi experts,
I'm confused with some functions below:
IDOC_INBOUND_SYNCHRONOUS
INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS
IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE
IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS
can you tell me what are the differences? when to use them?
for sap outbound processing, we can only call function master_idoc_distribute to generate idoc or use message control to trigger outbound idoc. no other options, correct?
for sap inbound processing, if we use message control for automatical posting, we have process code which read the inbound idoc file and do the sap posting. when to use those functions above?
does the middlewares like seeburger, GIS call those functions to generate idocs at SAP side?
in what scenarios can we use those functions? read directly non-sap file into sap internal table then call the functions to create inbound idoc? how about the posting? call inbound processe code function after the functions above?
in case the interface between sap and legacy system is using above functions to build inbound idoc in sap and sap use process code for inbound posing, sap can monitor all inbound process using idoc, but how can the legacy system mornitor the interface?
Thanks.

Party-based IDOC from external SAP sender

Hello experts.
I have PI 7.0
I have a scenario where I receive an IDOC from an external SAP system - that has SID=PRD and client=400
I also have an SAP system in my landscape with SID=PRD and client=400.
when I tried to define a service and edit it's adapter specific identifiers - i received the following error:
Check Result for Object EXT_SRV
SAP system ID PRD and client 400 already exist in service | PRD400
I understood that the PI will not be able to identify the sender if an it will receive an IDOC with SNDPRN=PRD400
When trying to figure out a way to overcome this and be able to receive the IDOC I came across the term:
party-based communication. I understood that I should define a party an in it a service for the external SAP system.
can some one please show me a detailed step by step example of such scenario?
All I found was this: [Java IDoc Adapter Partner Conversion |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/7b/ebc8b9e34b434d9f3e80ef6776d77a/content.htm] and it is only valid for PI 7.3
Thank you very much.

Hi ,
In idoc communication few fields play a vital role SNDPRN,SNDPRT,RCVPRN,RCVPRT,SNDPOR and RCVPOR in EDI_DC40 segment. These fields actually identify the sender and receiver systems and ports.
Now in your case as I understood that a new sender SAP system is sending the same idoc to PI server along with an existing one. In this case you need to alter SNDPRN value to a new value, when you are sending the idoc. All other values will retain same values for same idoc (basic type and message type). In ID add a new party in object list with the new SNDPRN value.
In the ID scenario create a copy of each entry in interface determination,receiver determination,sender agreement and receiver agreement. In each of the copy add the new sender/receiver party information SNDPRN value.
This should take care of your problem. No need to do any changes in IR as IR will be common for both the senders, what differs will be the ID. PI server will run different instances of the scenario for different SNDPRN value.
Finally one small request, please kindly if possible close down your threads, in case you got proper and correct solutions to your questions. I noted you closed only one of last five threads you have opened. If you close threads after a solution has worked, then forum users become sure that the solution has worked for your case and therefore is correct.

EDI Sales order creation in CRM through inbound IDocs from non SAP system

Hi Friends,
We are having a scenario where we need to create a Sales Order in CRM for a B2B EDI transmission through IDoc. Customer is sending the EDI Transmission of his Sales order , which is passing through PI and then reaching to CRM to create a Sales order.This is the design we need to follow to make it happen,we are initially trying to create an order using WE19 for testing and the details are:
Basic Type - CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M01
Message Type - CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M
Functional Module - APPL_IDOC_INPUTI which is automatically giving a status text as " Function module CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE has been called successfully", but no sales order is saved in CRM.
We are getting idocs posted successfully with status 53 with the statuses sequence 74, 50 ,64, 62 and 53.Our issue is inspire of the Idoc having status 53 and the FM called successfully we are not seeing the sales order created in CRM.
We are stuck here no sales order is created in CRM.
Are we missing any config. - set up - Prerequisit - Any OSS note need to be applied -- ANy middle ware setting ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

IDOCS: Inbound non-SAP system

Hi
The outbound idocs works fine. I want to create an inbound goods receipt/movement idoc.
Should i rather write RFC to update the SAP system from a non-SAP system ?

Hi,
Your first query...
Should i rather write RFC to update the SAP system from a non-SAP system ?
Always prefer using idocs for posting before BAPI / RFC fucntion module.
As you have mentioned outbound idocs are working fine..which means you are able to create idocs from non-sap system..right? If so you can use same idoc type for posting.
Your second query's answer...
Check out following code for calling BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE
You need to code to call function module /BAPI in your posting program as follows..
append the data into the corresponding internal tables and work-area, check for the IMPORT and TABLES parameter in the function module BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
a.     GOODSMVT_HEADER-DOC_DATE = SYST-DATM
b.     GOODSMVT_HEADER -PSTNG_DATE = RECEIPT_DATE (Input File)
c.     GOODSMVT_HEADER - HEADER_TXT = BATCH ID (Input File)
d.     GOODSMVT_HEADER - GR_GI_SLIP_NO = GOODS_INWARD_NO (Input File)
e.     GOODSMVT_ITEM-MOVE_TYPE = Constant 101
f.     GOODSMVT_ITEM-PO_NUMBER = PURCHASE_ORDER_NO (Input File)
g.     GOODSMVT_ITEM -PO_ITEM = PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_NO (Input File)
h.     GOODSMVT_ITEM PLANT = From Selection Screen (WERKS)
i.     GOODSMVT_ITEM STGE_LOC = From Selection Screen (LGORT)
j.     GOODSMVT_ITEM -ENTRY_QNT = QUANTITY_RETURNED (Input File)
k.     GOODSMVT_ITEM -NO_MORE_GR = COMPLETE_INDICATOR (Input File). Value X if status = X else space.
6.     Call the function module BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
7.     Use function module BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to do the commit work.
append the data into the corresponding internal tables and work-area, check for the IMPORT and TABLES parameter in the function module BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.
a.     GOODSMVT_HEADER-DOC_DATE = SYST-DATM
b.     GOODSMVT_HEADER -PSTNG_DATE = RECEIPT_DATE (Input File)

Call rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems

Hi,
is ist possible to connect to an rfc sender adapter from non-sap systems? I want to use the the RFC-Connector from http://rfcconnector.com, but in the client connect options there is no way to specify the program id.
Best regards,
Daniel

hi,
you don't need to use RFC type T (with program ID) - you can use whole connection string - just like in the example:
http://www.rfcconnector.com/documentation/examples/client/#functioncall
so just specify: host system number etc.
it should work like that - but let me know as I don't know this RFC connector

Hi Dinesh,
      Inside this function module K_DOCUMENT_UPDATE there is a FM available
CALL FUNCTION 'K_DOCUMENT_SEND'
       EXPORTING
            I_LOGSYS      = LOGSYSTEM
            I_COBK        = COBK

            T_COEPL       = LT_COEPL
       EXCEPTIONS
             This FM is responsible to send IDOCs to the defined logical system LOGSYSTEM. No matter this logica; system is SAP or non-SAP IDOC will be sent. Prerequisite are,
1) RFC connection exist between system
2) Partner profile is configured between the system.

*IDOC INBOUND ( NON SAP system - SAP system )*

I am transferring IDOC INBOUND ( NON SAP system ->> SAP system ) by calling SAP standard funtc module IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE using SAP JCo.
In which I am passing all necessary information in Control Record regarding sender and receiver port/IDOC/segment etc.
BUT help me to clarify my doubt that if i am calling a function and i am able to access SAP FM, then why i have to specify the SAP port/RFC connection at RECEIVER end in WE21.
Whats the Significance if i am calling the FM from same SAP system and configuring the port explicitly in WE21.*
If i don't Specify in we02 i am getting error as EDI : RECEIVER PORT in CONTROL RECORD is INVALID

Dear Sree,
For Basic understanding of IDOC read : saptechnical - Step-by Step ALE IDOC guide ( all necessary TCodes available here )
Kindly let me know your data flow .
In short :
As per my scenario the data flow is from non SAP to SAP i,.e. Inbound processing.
At my non SAP i am calling SAP standard function IDOC_INBOUND_SINGLE using SAP Jco 2.1.
You have to fill all Control Structure EDI_DC40 ( port etc. ) and Table parameter EDI_DD40 ( segment etc. )
Read IDOC status and error in WE02.
Goodluck.

Data load into SAP ECC from Non SAP system

Hi Experts,
I am very new to BODS and I have want to load historical data from non SAP source system into SAP R/3 tables like VBAK,VBAP using BODS, Can you please provide steps/documents or guidelines on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Monil

Hi
In order to load into SAP you have the following options
1. Use IDocs. There are several standard IDocs in ECC for specific objects (MATMAS for materials, DEBMAS for customers, etc., ) You can generate and send IDocs as messages to the SAP Target using BODS.
2. Use LSMW programs to load into SAP Target. These programs will require input files generated in specific layouts generated using BODS.
3. Direct Input - The direct input method is to write ABAP programs targetting on specific tables. This approach is very complex and hence a lot of thought process needs to be applied.
The OSS Notes supplied in previous messages are all excellent guidance to steer you in the right direction on the choice of load, etc.,
However, the data load into SAP needs to be object specific. So targetting merely the sales tables will not help as the sales document data held in VBAK and VBAP tables you mentioned are related to Articles. These tables will hold sales document data for already created articles. So if you want to specifically target these tables, then you may need to prepare an LSMW program for the purpose.
To answer your question on whether it is possible to load objects like Materials, customers, vendors etc using BODS, it is yes you can.
Below is a standard list of IDocs that you can use for this purpose to load into SAP ECC system from a non SAP system.
Customer Master - DEBMAS
Article Master - ARTMAS
Material Master - MATMAS
Vendor Master - CREMAS
Purchase Info Records (PIR) - INFREC
The list is endless.........
In order to achieve this, you will need to get the functional design consultants to provide ETL mapping for the legacy data to IDoc target schema and fields (better to ahve sa tech table names and fields too). You should then prepare the data after putting it through the standard check table validations for each object along with any business specific conversion rules and validations applied. Having prepared this data, you can either generate flat file output for load into SAP using LSMW programs or generate IDoc messages to the target SAPsystem.
If you are going to post IDocs directly into SAP target using BODS, you will need to create a partner profile for BODS to send IDocs and define the IDocs you need as inbound IDocs. There are few more setings like RFC connectivity, authorizations etc, in order for BODS to successfully send IDocs into the SAP Target.
Do let me know if you need more info on any specific queries or issues you may encounter.
kind regards

Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

Hi all,
is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.
