IDoc adapter with Non SAP systems

SAP XI 3.0 help says:
You can use the IDoc adapter to connect SAP systems (as of release 3.1) and non-SAP systems with the Integration Server using native IDoc structures
What does this mean?
-Naveen.

Hi Naveen,
Let me give a use-case in one of our projects ....we have 2 middlewares in our landscape...webmethods and XI...and in one particular instance there was a need to send an FI IDoc from webmethods to XI and forward it to R/3....
In this case, the webmethods was treated like any other sap system for receiving IDoc into XI(with settings in IDX1)...
Hope this might clarify a little bit...
Thanks,
Renjith

  • 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 Dharani,
    You can get information from the following links:

    SAP CONNECTORS:- Basically Connectors are like middlewares , that we use to connect to the backend system including Non SAP systems also. Will try to explain it to u with some examples of SAP Connectors:-
    a) SAP Business Connectors:-
    A middleware application based on the B2B integration server from webMethods.
    The SAP Business Connector enables both bi-directional synchronous communication and asynchronous communication between SAP applications and SAP and non-SAP applications.
    The SAP Business Connector makes all SAP functions that are available via BAPIs or IDocs accessible to business partners over the Internet as an XML-based service.
    The SAP Business Connector uses the Internet as a communication platform and XML or HTML as the data format. It integrates non-SAP products by using an open, non-proprietary technology.
    b) SAP Java Connector:-
    SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) is a middleware component that enables the development of SAP-compatible components and applications in Java. SAP JCo supports communication with the SAP Server in both directions: inbound calls (Java calls ABAP) and outbound calls (ABAP calls Java).
    SAP JCo can be implemented with Desktop applications and with Web server applications.
    SAP JCo is used as an integrated component in the following applications:
    1) SAP Business Connector, for communication with external Java applications
    2) SAP Web Application Server, for connecting the integrated J2EE server with the ABAP environment.
    SAP JCo can also be implemented as a standalone component, for example to establish communication with the SAP system for individual online (web) applications.
    To Know more go through,
    SAP Java Connectors
    II) ALE Concept:-
    ALE is not restricted to communication between SAP systems, it can also be used for connecting SAP Systems to non-SAP systems.
    By using IDocs as universal information containers, ALE can reduce the number of different application interfaces to one single interface that can either send IDocs from an SAP system or receive IDocs in an SAP system.
    SAP certified Translator Programs can convert IDoc structures into customer-defined structures.
    Alternatively, the RFC interface for sending and receiving IDocs can be used in non-SAP systems.
    In both cases you need the RFC Library of the RFC Software Development Kit (RFC-SDK).
    This link gives a great insight into landscape for Connectivity to Non-SAP systems:-
    SAP to Non-SAP systems
    III) Communication Between SAP Systems and External (Non-SAP) Systems using RFC:-
    When you use RFC for communication with an external (non-SAP) system, you can also implement the SAP Java Connector or the SAP .Net Connector for the conversion of data. However, there are no specific security requirements for these components, since they only perform internal system conversion functions.
    The additional security recommendations for communication with external systems in this section make particular reference to cases where an external system is used as a server (SAP calls the external system). If you use an external system as a client (the external system calls SAP), the appropriate SAP-specific security mechanisms are implemented on the SAP side.
    This link explains in detail all the security considerations you need to take for connecting to an External Non SAP system like, User administration, Network Security etc.

    Hi everyone i am new to SAP R/3 System.

  • Data elements for IDoc Segments to non-SAP system

    Hi,
    I need to create IDocs for transferring data to non-SAP system. When I create segmet fields should I create new data elements for all the fields with attributes specific to receiving system? Because there are many fields where the field attributes of SAP system do not match the corresponding fields of receiving non-SAP system.
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Is it possible to receive IDOCs from a non-SAP system?

    Hi,
    I'm facing a problem where I have to configure SAP MII (12.0) to receive IDOCs from a non-SAP client. Is it possible? I'm dealing with a system named Hydra (developed by MPDV) and I'd like to know what I should configure in Hydra systems in fields like: PROGID, GWHOST, GWSERV, SYSNR, CLIENT etc.
    Anyone can help me?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Unless Hydra emulates ECC sending IDOCS, then you just might want to use the WSMessageListener (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xmii120/helpdata/en/45/6a86ac88130dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm) and configure your message processing rules accordingly.

  • ALE: Sending IDOC inbound from non-SAP system

    Hi
    How does one need to setup the SAP system to accept data from an external non-SAP system. Should one setup some sort of conection to trigger an import to SAP?

    Hi,
    On the SAP side you need to create a partner profile in T.code: WE20 of type LS. And add the message type, idoc type in the inbound parameters section of it.
    And you must also specify the partner number you created here, on the IDoc control record.
    This link from SAP help, will provide some addition data.

  • Http communication with non-sap system

    Hi ,
       We have a requirement to send  OM related data to a non-sap system using HTTP post in XML format and receive the response from that external system. We are on ECC 6.0 and we cannot use XI at this time.
    What would be the correct approach to do this? I read that we could use ICM for HTTP communication am I on the right track?

  • Can PMI be used with non-SAP systems?

    For example we have an interface that travels through several systems and servers before being fed into XI (and back).
    So far as I know PMI only starts when XI picks up the message. Are there any agents, API's or any method to PMI enable other applications to send data to the central PMI collector system so we can see a complete view of the process? Or is that just wishful thinking? Thanks folks,

  • Idoc  b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .

    hi gurus,
    how i pass an outbound idoc  b/w sap(r/3) and non sap system .
    which  function module we will use in this scenerio for inbound and outbound idoc both
    please guide me  with an example .

    Hi Pawan,
    Non SAP system should have RFC adapter in order to receive and send Idocs from/to SAP.
    If this is not your case, you should us a Integrator Middelware with RFC and standard adapters like SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
    If for example, your non SAP system is able to process data from flat files you can build next interface: SAP send Idocs to middleware that receive them using RFC adapter, middelware maps Idocs into flat file and send it to a one of non SAP system folder using FTP adapter. Non sap system triggers the flat file into its applications.
    Reward points if useful.

  • 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

    Edited by: Chidambaram Danus on Jan 25, 2008 2:21 PM

    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

  • Using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems

    hi,
    using ale u can send from sap to sap and sap to non sap systems,
    then what is diff b/w ALE and EDI

    Hello KALYAN KUMAR,
    Application Link Enabling (ALE)
    1.You distribute data using ALE if you want to communicate from one system to one or more other (mostly internal) systems.
    2.ALE transfers data in IDoc format and uses the methods of tRFC for data transfer.
    3.ALE enables the integration of business processes across several SAP or non-SAP systems.
    Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
    1.You use EDI if you want to exchange business application documents with an (external) partner system (for example, a customer or vendor).
    2. The SAP system sends EDI messages in IDoc format to an EDI subsystem, where they are converted to a universal EDI standard (UN/EDIFACT or ANSI/X12).
    3. This enables communication with non-SAP systems.
        By definition, two partners are involved in the process in an EDI application scenario: The sender and the recipient of an EDI message
    I hope u understands the difference:)
