Idoc to file scenario general query

Hi All,
I know about the basic settings needed for the Idoc to file scenario.
My query is related the idoc /ALE settings.
I have a scenatio wrking in my system where we have configured the port for B type partner and also the port as XML-HTTP
I can not see any DM(BD64) created for it basically.I want to know that in what scenarios the BD64 configuration is required.
Or it is the case that if we define the BD64 then we do not need to configure we20 and we21, it will be auto configured?
Please let me know the use cases for these different configurations if any.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul Kulkarni

Hi Rahul,
BD64 uses mostly IDoc to IDoc scenarios because the IDoc consults the distribution model and determines whether any filter objects are specified for a receiver.
WE20 and WE21 (Partner Profile,Port Definition) we have to define in any scenarios where ECC included.
Thanks,
Seshu.

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.

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.

IDoc to File scenario Monitoring Problem

Hi,
I have a problem in monitoring. In my IDoc to file scenario the ftp server is not reachable (wrong ip) but still in sxmb_moni I get a successful processed message with acknowledgement system error.
Now, why dont I get an normal error in sxmb_moni?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
>>Now, why dont I get an normal error in sxmb_moni?
Why because in MONI we generally get the Errors related to the Message Processing like mapping, and pipe line Services.
But the error which u got is related to the Receiver, so this we can find out in the Receiver File Adapter monitoring( CC monitoring)
MONI Shows the Errors those are related to the ABAP Satck means if any Errors occurs while going the process on ABAP Stack
But the error which u got is on Adapter Engine Process, so Definately the Error finding place is on Receiver CC monitoring

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.

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:

ABOUT DATA SENDING IN idoc TO file SCENARIO

How the data is sended in idoc to file scenario?
what is the difference in sending data through BD10, BD14 and WE19 ?
Is the data is sended through XI OR R/3 SYSTEM?

Hi Rammohan
>> How the data is sended in idoc to file scenario?
     Makeing settings in SAP R/3 side then based on the RFC
     destination,port,parterner profiles.....
     Idoc can hold the data with out any direction but RFC port will direct where to
    go ...based on the partner profiles (Out buond IDOCS)
>>what is the difference in sending data through BD10, BD14 and WE19 ?
    BD10,BD11,BD12,BD13,BD14 will be to send the master data automatically
    generally will be in the production(But not for testing) and this will be depending
    on the declaration of profiles in the BD64
    --- But we19 will be used to test the Idocs with any data
        but here we need to give all the parameters like senders,receivers,ls,idoc...
>> Is the data is sended through XI OR R/3 SYSTEM?
     Data will send through XI i.e XI will receive the Idoc and Convert into XI specific
     SOAP XML message and process all the pipe line steps ...based on the target
     it will send
     Here target is file so choose the file adapter as target and give all parameters
     it will work fine
I hope this will answer your question

Idoc to file scenario which involves accessing a persistant counter value

Hi,
Presently Iam dealing with an idoc to file scenario in which I need to map the idoc info and also a persistant counter value to a flat file. So in how many ways can we maintain a persistant counter value(either by variable/file/database)? Please can any one help me in overcoming this scenario by providing any implemented example.

Hi,
Please see the following links , you can use database is best.

Hi Vijayakumar,
Thanks for your reply !! You mean to say I got to use XSLT mapping and also .htm and .html extension together to produce the html file ?? or it is sufficient to use any one of them to produce the html file ??

FIle Content Conversion Problem in IDOC-XI-File Scenario

Dear All,
I am doing IDOC-XI-FILE scenario.
I am facing one problem related to File Content Coversion.My requirement was to generate a dynamic file like %store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut , But I am unable to suppress it Can some body provide me the details on this .
The output xml version generated by Reciever file adapter is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
Plz provide me the code I have to write in the file content conversion .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prabhat

If u see my earlier reply, I mentioned that u can not suppress the field from the one node.i.e Form SITE_DATA data type u can not suppress the field called CURRENT_DATE.
My suggestion is that , modify the Data type in such a way that you will be having two nodes as I have mentioned earlier. Then use the Suppress Logic for the Current Date.
So it will look like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
<CURR_DATE>
<CURRENT_DATE>20051105</CURRENT_DATE>
</CURR_DATE>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
So ur SITE_DATA is not having a field called CURRENT_DATE. This field is in separate node (segment ) called CURR_DATE. Now u can use the Suppress Logic for the same like this.
CURR_DATE.fieldFixedLengths - 0
CURR_DATE.fixedLengthTooShortHanling - Cut
And in your Variable Substitution you can use the date from the other segment called CURR_DATE.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Moorthy

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

Integration server as logical system in IDoc to file scenario

Hi,
Will we configure integration server as logical system in IDoc to file scenario or the RFC destination related to the port will be suffice?
For which logical system will the outbound partner profile configured?
Regards,
Gajendra.

Hello,
I feel that the RFC destination linked to the port is the key here.
Because the scenario (IDoc to File) works in both the cases:
Case 1: Used the logical system as Integration server
Case 2: Used the logical system related to the file (third party) in the SLD.
In both the above cases the RFC destination points to the integration server.
Is this the case that in the XI scenarios (where IDoc are sent) the logical system name in the partner profile is just dummy and has not much significance??
It is the port that matters and once the Idoc reaches XI the routing takes place based on the configuration in ID.
Thanks.
Regards,
Gajendra.

How to suppress the Acknowledgement Error in IDOC to File scenario?

Hi -
I got the status in SXMB_MONI as 'Processed Successfully' for the IDOC to File scenario but the Acknoledgement status throws an error saying 'Acknowledgement not possible'.
I read one of the documents in the forums on how to suppress the acknowledgement using a table on R/3 side using IDXNOALE,
i tried that option but i still get the 'Acknowledgement not possible' error.
Is there any other way to suppress this error?
Thanks,
Tirumal

Hi Tirumal,
Receiver adapters that run on the Adapter Engine support system acknowledgments if they are requested by the sender. Acknowledgements are triggered when a message is successfully processed by the adapter or if an error occurs while it is being processed. Receiver adapters do not support application acknowledgments. The RNIF and CIDX adapters are exceptions to this rule, since they also support scenario-dependent application acknowledgments. Sender adapters of the Adapter Engine do not request any acknowledgments.
This means, JDBC adapter does only send system acks, however IDoc adapter is requesting application acks. Therefore as mentioned by the previous poster, you have to disable acks for this scenario using report IDX_NOALE.
Also go through these documents for any further help:
http://sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how to handle acknowledgments for idoc.pdf
