IDOC to File Scenario - Configuration steps need to be done in R3 and XI

Hi Experts,
I am working with IDoc to File scenario. Can someone please explain, what are the steps or configuration things need to be done in R3 and as well as in XI too.
Thanks in advance.

Sree

Hi Sree,
I thought i will just share a few basic thoughts that you need to take care while doing an IDOC to File Scenario. Just see if it helps you in anyways.
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You dont need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you dont have a sender agreement as you dont have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.
IDOC -> File scenario ref:
<a href="/people/prateek.shah/blog/2005/06/08/introduction-to-idoc-xi-file-scenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starters scenario</a>
File -> IDOC ref:
<a href="/people/anish.abraham2/blog/2005/12/22/file-to-multiple-idocs-xslt-mapping to IDOC</a>
To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:

37 Status code in IDoc to File Scenario

Hi Experts,
I developed Idoc to file scenario, in the PI side all the design time and configuration objects are good .
while I am testing from SAP backend system (All required configuration steps are also good).
I was send the Vendor information details (CREMAS05) by using the Transaction code WE19 , after that I was test with IDoc list by using Transaction code WE05(IDoc list) I am getting status code 37 . what might be the problem.
please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sudeepth.

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.

Which all configurations you need to do in R/3 for an Idoc to file scenario

which all configurations you need to do in R/3 for an Idoc to file scenario?
Rgds
Ruchitha

Hi ruchitha thakur ,
A Summary of the Steps to be carried out to enable a SAP R/3 System send Idocs to SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
First - Maintain the Sender R/3 System:
SM59 : Create a RFC destination to XI
WE21 : Create a TRFC Port ->Specify the RFC Destination Created
BD54 : Create a Logical System for the Idoc Receiver
WE20 : Create Partner Profile ->Maintain Outbound and the Inbound Parameters
Second - Log on to XI System:
SM59 : RFC Destination for Sender System
IDX1 : Create the port to get Idoc Metadata from Sender System ( The Port Name must match the port name in the idoc header - Usually in format SAP<System ID>. eg. SAPID1 [Optional Step. Not mandatory]
IDX2 : Maintain the Idoc Metadata. This is needed only by XI, and not by other SAP systems. IDX2 is needed because XI needs to construct IDoc-XML from the IDoc. No other SAP system needs to do that.
To Enable Acknowledgement:
SXMB_ADM ->Integration Engine Configuration ->Specific Configuration ->Add New entry -> Select parameters as:
Category: RUNTIME
Parameters: ACK_SYSTEM_FAILURE
Current Value: 1
GO TO SLD:
Create Technical System: Choose WEB AS ABAP if the system is R/3 -> Define SAP SID, Installation Number and Database Host Name a Maintain message Server Details according to Sender System -> Maintain Client Details of Sender System ->Select a Installed Product for Sender System
Create Business System: Choose WEB AS ABAP if the system is R/3 -> Choose the Technical System and the client Created Before -> Choose the Installed Product -> Set:
Business System Role: Application System
Related Integration Server: Integration Server
Integration Builder
Integration Directory:
Add Business System: Adapter Specific Identifiers -> 'Logical System' identical to the 'Logical System Name' in the SLD Business System
IDoc Receiver Communication Channel: port the same as XI System IDX1
The following web-sites give u step-by-step solution to configure R/3 :

Need an alert to be sent after succesful completion idoc to file scenario.

Hi ,
we have an idoc to file scenario, the user wants a email confirmation after the file is generated, can any body help how i can trigger an alert once file is generated by xi(in a idoc to file scenario).
regards
sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
we have an idoc to file scenario, the user wants a email confirmation after the file is generated, can any body help how i can trigger an alert once file is generated by xi(in a idoc to file scenario).
Well, you can generate an email after your file has been sent (use BPM for this).
But I believe your Client wants a confirmation of file delivery through email, which might be a problem. By using the above step, you will be able to send the email after file is sent, but it won't confirm whether the file has been successfully delivered.
You need a synch message which file won't be supporting. So, the other way is to ask your Client if it is possible for them to send an acknowledgment to PI after receiving the file, and then you can trigger the email.
Unfortunately, there is no straight way out for your problem.
Hope this helps.

How To Test Idoc To File Scenario in ID From Tools- Test Configuration

Hi All,
Can any body help me in step by step process including screenshots for testing Idoc to file scenario in integration directory from tools->test configuration.
My scenario is passing the PO Idoc data from R/3 into a file using XI.
i have processed the idoc from R/3 and now i went to sxmb_moni in XI system and took the payload xml data.
In ID I have navigated to test configuration from tools then i have provided the following information.
Sender Service : Business system of R/3 b'coz here R/3 is the sender.
Sender Interface : ORDERS.ORDERS6
Receiver Service : Business system of XI b'coz here XI receives the data and places it into a file
In payload text box i have copied the xml code which i have taken from sxmb_moni and clicked the run button. then i got the following error:
Sender Agreement
Internal Error
 HTTP connection to ABAP Runtime failed.
 Error: 403 Forbidden
 URL: http://bxdci.boewe.custservice.de:8093/sap/xi/simulation?sap-client=100
 User: PIDIRUSER
Kindly look into it and correct me if iam wrong or is there any other way to test this scenario in ID please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Specify the test confisuration as follows.
Sender
Service : Business System of SAP R/3 System
Interface : The outbound message interface name of type the IDOC.
Namespace : will automatically loaded when u select the Interface. Check if it the correct namespace.
Receiver:
Service : Business System name for the Fle system.
Paste the payload that u copied from the sxmb_moni.
Now click on Run and test ur Scenario.
Was the scenario sucessfull in the Message Monitor.

Why we dont need sender agreement and comm channel in IDOC to file scenario

Hi,
there are 2 queries:
first query :
Scenario is "Idoc to file transfer"
why we dont need sender agreement and communication channel for IDOC to file ,while we do need
both of these for "File to RFC "
Answer : which i got is because IDOC sits at ABAP stack but same is valid for RFC also.
Then why For "IDOC to file" we dont need that.
Second query:
Also when i did scenario for File1-RFC-File2 scenario using BPM i have created a interface
between XI-RFC synchronous to send data which we got from file1 in XI to RFC importing parameter
and getting data from RFC back to File2.
Here in IDOC to file scenario why we dont need any interfface for IDOC-XI Asynchronous.

Mayank

Configuring IDOC to file Scenario in PI 7

Hello All,
I am doing an IDOC to file scenario, all the configuration is done. When i trigger the outbound IDOC, I can see in SXMB_MONI the sender component, sender Namespace, sender interface and reciever component are coming up correctly as configured.
1. But the reciever namespace and Reciever Interface are having the same values as the sender namespace and sender interface interface respectively. I am sure they have to be as per the config in ID.
2. Also on further going into the error message
SAP:Code area="OUTBINDING">CO_TXT_OUTBINDING_ERROR</SAP:Code
SAP:AdditionalText>No standard agreement found for , DEV400, ANZ, BC_RECV_PAYM_ORD, urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages, PAYEXT.PEXR2002</SAP:AdditionalText>
Can anyone please suggest , what is it that I am doing wrong.

Hi,
Please delete the Receiver determination and try creating again. refresh cache.
Can you please have a look at the sap notes if of any use .. i think its a different case altogether , but pls have a look.

Do we need a sender channel for IDOC to file scenario.

Hi,
Do we need a sender channel in IDOC to FILE scenario.
Because IDOC is being sent by SAP R/3 System and when creating objects in ID using wizard, it doesn't ask for sender channel.
What is the reason for this?
Regards,
Younus

Younus,
to add more...
From WAS(Web Application Server) 6.20 and above BASIS is not the runtime for SAP.WAS is the runtime for SAP.
And it has got ABAP and JAVA engine in it.
It handles connections made over various protocols such as SMTP for mail, HTTP(S), and SOAP/XML.

The SAP Web AS 6.10 did not have a Java engine.
and IDOC and HTTP are present on the ABAP engine and the rest reside on JAVA engine.
and that is the reason why IDOC and HTTP doesnt require Sender Adapter and Sender Aggrement aswell.
Hope i cleared ur point...
Cheers,
Raghavesh

2. Created port : PORT_TEST
3. created logical system: IDOC2FILE
4. created partner profiles: IDOC2FILE
XI side configurations
1. Created RFC destination: RFC_SAP_SYSTEM
2. Created port : by using IDX1 t-code
DOUBT: here it is asking for PORT, CLIENT,Description and RFC destination, please let me know what values i need to put here, please find the SAP and XI system details below and suggest accordingly.
3. metadata: by using idx2.
DOUBT: here it is asking for IDOC type and source port, i can give the idoc name but i am not getting what i need to give to source prort field, please check and let me know, please find the SAP and XI system details below and suggest accordingly.

Hi All,
Please provide info where can I find, step by step documentation for the basic setup on R/3 and XI areas, before start developing IDoc-XI-File or File-XI-IDoc scenarios.

Hi,
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You dont need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you dont have a sender agreement as you dont have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:

Sending Purchase Order to XI(IDOC to File Scenario)

I have imported IDoc type ORDERS05 for Message Type ORDERS in XI 7.0 & i have created the IDOC to File Scenario for Purchase Order & activated all the objects.
Now in SAP ECC 6.0, i have created a purchase order using ME21N. No idocs created. Let me know the steps to send that PO. Which T.Code & what entries to follow...

Hi,
You would need to configure the data distribution model, activate change pointers, create your partner profiles and rfc connections.
Then do your XI Config.

Idoc to File scenario using Party

Hi All,
I have to configure Idoc to File scenario .This file needs to be posted in EDI Subsystem .My receiver partner type is LI.That means i need to use Party here.So please let me know the step by step solution to do this.Specially i want to know the configuration in Party Identifier and Receiver Communication channel Identifiers.
How the control record values from idoc are transferred to EDI File structure and how will XI identify one of the many customers to post the file.
All valuable suggestions will be rewarded the points.
Please send me the documents for such scenario with screen shots.

Hi,
Let me see if I had you requirement correct.
When the Idoc is sent from R3, sender partner type is LS and Receiver Partner Type is LI.
If yes,
1. Create a Party in ID.
2. The Agency , Scheme and Identifier will have values,
Agency --> Receiver Business System name or Business Service Name to be used for File.
Scheme --> ALE#LI
Identiier --> Value of the RCVPRN field in the idoc control Record. Basically the Receiver Partner Name.
All the Configuration In ID will use this Party as the Receiver Party and the corresponding Service asthe Receiver service.
No need for a sender party as sender partner is LS.

Bhavesh

Error/Doubts in Idoc-XI-File scenario

Dear All,
I am doing one scenario in which DELIVERY idoc is posted from R/3 to XI and then from XI that idoc is to be sent as flat file to one local folder.
For this scenario, I have done all ALE settings and I am able to see the idoc in XI in cXML format.Now I want to sent it as flat file.
Now, for doing this I created 2 BS & 2 TS. 1 BS & TS of type Third Party for receiver & 1 BS & TS are of type Web as ABAP for sender. Then I have created one namespace in IR. I have not created any DT, MT, MI, MM becoz the structure of source and target file are same. Now, I created one IM in which I specified specified Type as "ABAP Class" & Mapping program name as one of the Z function module as specified in one of the SAP Guides.
Then in ID, I created 2 Parties ie. one for Sender & one for receiver. Sender is having a communication channel of type Idoc & receiver is having communication channel of type File. And thn further Receiver Agreement, Inetrface Determination, Sender Agreement & Receiver Agreement are configured.
In my system there is one scenario already configured which is using Delivery idoc so I have used party in my scenario for both sender & receiver.
Now, when I am sending the idoc from R/3, I am able to see cXML in SXMB_MONI but it is taking receiver as the one which is defined for the already existing scenario but not the receiver defined by me.
Can anybody guide if I have followed the correct steps & where I am doing the error.
Warm Regards,
N.Jain
