IDOC to BPM to File

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario where by i will need to collect idocs from an R3 system, perform a transformation and output the results into a flat file.
I looked at various blogs but am still pretty confused.
For my scenario, do i need to configure a receiver determination to pass the idocs into BPM?
( If the answer is no, how does the idoc get pass into the BPM? )
or do i just need 1 receiver determination to output my result from the BPM into a flat file?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
At the moment i have 2 receiver determination
1. from R3 Outbound async to abstract async of BPM
2. from BPM abstract async to inbound async
1 receiver agreement
BPM to a service with a file adapter
I've also configured another simple scenario without BPM, just sending a IDOC from R/3 to XI with a simple transformation and exporting the output into a flat file. Its working fine and im able to see the XML messages in SXMB_MONI.
However, for the BPM, when i try to click on the process view via SXMB_MONI, it says no message found. I'm suspecting that somehow the idoc is not even passed to the BPM but i am unable to see where have i gone wrong.
Any help will be much appreciated.
THanks in advance.

Multiple files to idoc without bpm

Hi
I have gone through the previous threads and came to know that n:1 is not possible without bpm. But in case of idocs you can collect them in r/3 system itself using RSEOUT00 program. But if my scenario is like.......you have 10 files which are coming through ftp and we have to send the idoc to the target system. Is there any way to do this scenario without bpm ??
Thanks

IDOC-XI-Webservice-XI-FIle

Hi,
I am doing IDOC-XI-Webservice-XI-FIle,
I am using Asyn-synch bridge.
While I am creating Synch_ABS ( IDOC & File ) it is showing that u cannot create interface with IDOC & non IDOC,
How should i proceed the scdenario.

Hey,
    Create a request structure for webservice
    Create a response structure for webservice.
    Create a Structure for file.
     Map the idoc with the webservice request structure.
     Map the webservice response structure with the file structure.
   Abstract asynchronous interface:- Idoc
   Abstract synchronous interface
               Request:- request webservice
               Response:- response webservice
Abstract asynchronous interface:- file
BPM design
Receive step:- abstract asynchronous interface
Transformation step:- mapping between Idoc and webservice request
Send step:- abstract synchronous interface
Transformation step:- mapping between Webservice response and file
Send step:- abstract asynchronousp:- file

HR - XI - External System: one IDOC to multiple XML Files

Hi,
I have a scenario where I need, out of one HRMD_A07 IDOC send multiple XML files:
The IDOC and the XML files can the Master data for many employee (IDOC has max of 200 as of SAP, external system, max of 1000).
The IDOC will be generated with change pointers with all the needed filters (I can add/remove if needed).
My goal is to generate 3 types of XML files:
- 1 for the persons (containing basic info like name, firstname, persnr,etc)
- 1 for the various unit (with basic info of unit like number, description & name)
- 1 for the links between persons and units (this person is linked with that unit)
The structures of the 3 XML files are know and can be imported via XSD definition.
Do I need to use BPM for doing so or is there a way to do that with simple mapping?
If BPM is needed, as I new to that, if you have a link to a begginer guide, fell free to send it
Cheers,
greg

hi,
For your scenario there is no need of BPM.
In message mapping select the message tag.
In the target add 3 message types.
Just map the fields.Go to Interface mapping add the 3 message in the target.
Get the mapping.
In ID sender agreement,Receiver Determination is same.
In Interface Determination select extended.Get the mapping.
Create 3 Receiver agreement for each Receiver.

Sending multiple IDocs (all in single file) to FTP via XI

Hi All,
We have a requirement as below where we are looking for various feasible solutions.
The requirement is to collect multiple IDocs in ERP (2000-5000 in number) per day (either Flat File or XML) and needs to be sent as a single File (which has all these IDocs) to FTP Server via XI.
BPM is not allowed to use and we are working on PI 7.0, so IDoc packaging is also not applicable. There is no mapping required, we need to just route them to FTP from ERP System.
Looking forward for various solutions.
Regards,
N. Jayanth Kumar.

Hi,
Using the XML file port at R/3 to collect the Idocs would be a feasible solution. Also, as Sunil as already pointed out, you can configure this as a pass through interface, which will improve your overall processing time.
Another solution can be to pass the Idocs to PI and then use the append mode in the receiver file adapter to collect the days idoc into a single file.
To append only idocs for a particular day, try using dynamic filename, where file would have the date in it. This way, only Idocs for a particular day would be appended.

Here i am trying to collect IDOCs for 5 minutes and i need to send them in XML format. Here i have mapping logic and that logic is working perfectly.
What i am dong is
1. I am sending IDOCs from R3 system to BPM in XI. ( Here to push IDOCs from R3 system to BPM, do we need to do extra ALE settings. Actually With out BPM simple IDOC to File is working fine, With BPM only i am having error. )
2. How to reslove above problem. AS per my understanding everthing is fine.
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi Rama Subbarao,
Error: Check with your loop condition and process steps.
Collecting of IDOCS using BPM is good, If u want to send the 100 IDOCS per one hour with single BPM it will takes times , Some performs issues and hardware issues are raising.
Suppose if u send 1000 Idocs per one hour it will takes much time.
Other Process:
The collecting of IDOCS it will be downloaded into FILE System.Once IDOCS is downloaded into FILE, it will be not changed the IDOCS.
Using FILE Adapter we send the flatfiles data from FILE System to XI. if u using this process performance wise its very good.

Idoc data in flat file structure

Dear Experts,
We have idoc data in flat file structure. We need to fetch it using ftp and map it to an idoc.
please tell me how to proceed .

Hi,
For flat file you need to use the File content conversion parameters.
Refer the blog,

Idoc Structure From Flat FIle

Hi,
I have two queries.
1.I need to import idoc structure from excel file not from sap, is it possible ?
2 what are the detalied steps to implement following SAP note for getting processed file name at runtime.
Thanks & Regards
Tuhin
Symptom
You want to access the name of a file sent through a File Adapter Sender channel from a custom developed XI module.
Other terms
XI 3.0, XI30, File Adapter, Module Processor, Module Development, Modules
Reason and Prerequisites
The functionality described in this note requires SP 9 or higher of the component XI ADAPTER FRAMEWORK CORE 3.0.
Solution
The File Adapter passes the name of the processed file to the module processor. This information is available in a Hashtable object accessible as as supplemental module data under the name "module.parameters" within the module's 'process' method.
For further information, please take a look at the example code below:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext mc, ModuleData md) throws
ModuleException
Hashtable mp       = (Hashtable)
                         md.getSupplementalData("module.parameters");
String    fileName = null;
if (mp != null)
    fileName = (String) mp.get("FileName");

Hi Tuhin,
<i>
1. .I need to import idoc structure from excel file not from sap, is it possible ?</i>
Yes and No; If the structure in the Excel sheet is defined in XSD format (XML schema) then it should be possible to import it assuming you are using XI 3.0. In 2.0 this is not possible.
Not sure if in XI 3.0 you are allowed to import Excel files straight forward into XI.
<i>2 what are the detalied steps to implement following SAP note for getting processed file name at runtime.</i>
I'm not quite sure but this looks to me like you have to implement this within a Java custom function/mapping...
The data (in this case the filename) is encapsulated in a Hashtable object available during runtime.
Cheers,
Rob.

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.

Proxy to File scenario - IDOC as an flat file

Hi,
I am working on ABAP Sender Proxy to File scenario. The target structure in the message mapping is SHPMNT05 IDOC and the output of the file needs to be in the text format and then the file will be send to an EDI subsystem.
Currently, EDI subsystem gets the IDOC from ERP system as a flat file and expects the similar kind of file from XI system
The requirement is to have all the fields of the IDOC in the target file. If data does not exist for a particular field, then there should be a space for that field in the text file.
I would like to know if there is any other standard way of executing this scenario apart from using File Content conversion. In case if we have to use FCC, how difficult it would to be implementing the scenario. Please note that the output file needs all the fields of IDOC in it.
Regards,
Sakthi
Edited by: Sakthi on Sep 26, 2008 11:24 AM

Hello Sakthi,
By coding in proxy populate the idoc structure if it is difficult to handle thru Content conversion parameters then create an intermediate structure and populate that structure by concatenating the fields from idoc segments. If the fields are not having the values then add blank spaces as per length of the field.
You can configure the file channel and content converison parameters for the intermediate structure.
Hope it will helps to you.
Cheers

Error values in Idoc Control Records in File to Idoc Scenarios

Hi All,
I am posting 2 different types of Idocs in 2 different File-to-Idoc Scenarios. In many cases both these files may get picked at the same time. One is an Orders Idoc and the other one is Shipment Idoc. The Orders Idoc has a control record value in the Sender Partner Fn as 'ZC' while as for Shipment Idoc that value is not passed. The other Sender parameters are passed and are different for both these idocs. But when the files are processed, the value 'ZC' get populated for the Shipment Idoc also. When 100 files are sent with 90 orders and 10 shipments, the shipments get created with 'ZC' partner fn. This is visible in the Call Adapter Pipeline Step under the node IDocOutbound. . I have 2 different Idoc receiver adapters.Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks,
Geetha

Hey,
>'ZC' while as for Shipment Idoc that value is not passed
Check whether the Source/ Mapping populates the 'ZC' , Did you checked Apply Control record in Receiver Adapter for Shipment, What is the name you have mentioned for the in the SLD -Logical system for Sender system

Facing Problem in IDOC to EDI FLAT File Scenario

Hi,
I am working on a scenario IDOC to EDI FLAT File. For this I have used ABAP mapping.
The problem i am facing is that the EDI FILE contains the segment name as E1EDK01 for eg. while I need the name as per the latest segment definiton released. I have also tried this using File port and it gives the required segment names in file. But we dont have to use File ports. Please suggest me if something is missing in PI Abap stack ?? Why I am not getting the segments name as per latest segment definition mainatined in R3.
Thanks
Neha

Hi Neha,
Please check the segment name in sxmb_moni. Is this showing new value or the old value?
If SXMB_MONI shows old value then the source SAP (R/3) system which is sending the idoc may not have released the segment after changing the name. You need to ensure that the idoc segment has been released properly. Then re-import the iodc into PI server again. Finally delete entry of the iodc structure in idx2 transaction, no need to re-import the idoc structute again in idx2, since once you run the scenario the metadata automatically gets imported.

Error receiving IDOC in BPM

hi all
I'm doing a BPM scenario in which i want to receive an IDOC.
The scenario goes like this:
an IDOC is sent from source(from SWCV1) and an interface mapping(done in SWCV2) is done before the IDOC is received in the BPM.I have made an abstract async interface(done is SWCV2) for the IDOC which receives the IDOC in BPM.
The source is sending the IDOC successfully and the Interface mapping also happens properly.
My problem is that the IDOC is not entering the BPM.'Permanent error in BPE inbound processing' is shown.
Simulate message delivery shows:Result of simulation: Message starts a new process
I have no clue what the error is.Please help.

Hi,
You can go to the message in SXMB_MONI and from there go to engine column of the displayed message. In case of BPM, you will have PE there instead of IE or AE. Now click on PE and it will take you to the actual BPM. There you can drill down and try to figure out if the BPM instance has started correctly or what exactly the error is.
Thanks and Regards,
Sarath.

File - BPM - BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAILS File

Hi,
I'm in a little trouble...
I had a working scenario with File -> BPM -> BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAILS -> File as found in a Blog.
The first file contains one company code and the RFC sync call gets the details and then sends the info back in a file.
To get closer to my final scenario, I enhenced this scenario qith having in the first file, multiple instance of the CompanyID (I created a special DataType, Message Type, .. for that) then in my BPM, I started with the receive step, then a transform 1 to N and then a bloc foreach that included the Sync RFC call and the send call as before.
My trouble is that now the RFC call sends me back an error (with same companyID then before)
Type - Code - Message
E - FN030 - Company 1 does not exist
but if I do the BAPI call with SE37, I get the correct results...
Has any one an idea ? It keeps me mad from this morning !
Thx in advance!!
Cheers
