IDOCs from Unicode system contain garbage characters

Hi,
I am on SAP 4.7 unicode.
I have some chinese characters in my vendor data.
These chinese characters appear as dots in the IDOCS.
I have already checked the IDOC port as unicode .
Can anyone tell me what needs to be done ?
Thanks.

Hi Chester,
It's ok. I have solved the problem. For other's reference,
There is flag FLG_NO_REPLACE which must be set to X in CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '401'
which is a user exit. If this flag is set then then the chinese characters which are treated as unrecognizable characters will not be replaced with dots.
Once this flag is set, then the chinese characters appear correctly in the IDOC.

IDOC from One System to another

Hi All,
I am sending idocs from one system to another For Eg System A to System B .
Now suppose 2 idocs are generated 1 and 2.
Now how to determine , for idoc 1 in system A, what is the corresponding Inbound Idoc in System B because the data which is coming in System B might be different than in System A for the same Idoc?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
direction 1 for outbound idoc,
              2 for inbound idoc,
goto tcode WE02
enter direction - 2.
creation date
and basic type i.e. idoc type
double click on an idoc num.
on L.H.S u have 'Control REc' double click on it..
it contains all the sender details and to what outbound idoc it corressponds to -> basic type, message type
    -> Partner details like partner num, port, partner type
    -> date & time of creation
    -> and the other details

IDOC from external system

Hi,
I have scenarion in that we will receive IDOC from external system (SAP system) in XI i.e. IDOC- XI -IDOC scenrio. from my Understanding ,to configure the scenario I have to do ALE from sender side and IDOC receiver channel in receiving side.
External system (SAP) -(ALE)-> XI -(IDOC rcv)--> Our System (SAP)
Please can anyone provide me steps to do ALE from external system.

Hi,
We can have alternate ways to send IDocs from external system to SAP system. One way is in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46b/helpdata/en/52/16abf6543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/ru/52/16abcf543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm
I can think of few more, like In external system after generating Idoc, save it as a tex and send it to SAP system using Http post or using web service.
Look out to below discussion.

Send IDoc from External System to SAP system

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to send IDocs from an external system to the SAp system. Basically the external system is a subsystem which is able to send & receive idocs. The external system is currently able to send idocs to SAP system through the ALE layer but now we have to replace it by PI. Now the external system has to send teh IDocs to the SAP ECC system through the SAP PI 7.0.
Kindly let me knowq how I can achieve it.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Satish,
You can achieve this requirement
1)If your external system going to support web service cals then send IDoc from External system as a web service, in PI use sender side SOAP and receiver side IDoc receiver channel to send IDoc.
or
2)Use proxy program ,implement the same ALE logic in PI.
or
3)Copy the Extenal IDoc message in to file folder as XML,then use file adapter to pick up this message and send it SAP using IDoc.

Send IDOC from SAP system to IX but can't see any message in SXI_MONITOR

Hi all,
I have built up an XI system and configured an IDOC to IDOC scenario between two SAP Systems. After completed all configuration necessary:
1. Configuration on Source Side (SAP System that send IDOC) and on Target Side (SAP System that receive IDOC) is OK.
2. SLD is OK: Technical System and Business System are correct for these two SAP System.
3. Integration Repository: all designed Object is OK.
4. Integration Directory: all configuration is OK. "Test Configuration" Function is OK.
5. Runtime WorkBench: is OK. "Test Message" Function of "Integration Server" is OK.
In general, it is all OK.
But when i send an IDOC from SAP System Sour Side (Outbound IDOC from Source Side is OK), on the XI server i can't see any message in Tcode SXI_MONITOR. In this case, my XI server didn't receive any IDOC Message from this Source Side, and so that my XI server can't process and exchange any IDOC sent from Source Side.
Anyone can please help me to explain this problem: why my XI server can't receive any IDOC message from SAP System Source Side when all configuration is OK? Do anyone see the same case as this case?
Thanks a lot for all in advance,
Best regards,
Vinh vo

Steps of EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system

Hi Experts,
Can you provide me Steps to configure EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system?
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks in advance!
Sapna

Hello,
 The EDI Configuration required to be done for Transfering IDoc to non SAP System is.
1. First of all, we need to identify the Transaction Data which is required to be Transfered to external System.(Ex: Sales Order Data or Shipment Data or Delivery Related Data).
2. Secondly, Identify the IDoc Type & Message Type. IDoc Type can be found in Transaction WE30 & Message Type Can be explored in Transaction WE81.
3. After that, assign the IDoc Type to Message Type in WE82.
4. Identify the Selection Program (Outbound) which is generally a Function Module in the Form of IDOC_OUTPUT_<Message Type>. Example, if the Message Type is ORDERS, the FM will be IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS.
5. Assign the Function Module to a Process Code in WE41 (Process Code for Outbound).
6. Configure Port Definitions in WE21 for which the RFC destinations are to be maintained in Transaction SM59.
7. Maintain Partner Profiles for the Outbound Message Processing in WE20.
8. Last, but not the Least, we need to Focus Mainly on Message Control Configuration which is nothing but maintaining the Output Type for the Outbound IDoc to be Triggered for the Sales Order Application or Delivery Application.
 i. In Message Control Configuration, we'll maintain
 a. Condition Tables
 b. Access Sequences
 c. Output Types
 ii. To Create the above elements, we can go to SPRO Transaction and do the same depending on the Application Area such as Sales / Shipping / Logistics Execution etc.
 iii. For Output Types & Access Sequences, we can go to the Transaction NACE or VK01 in which we'll maintain the Output Types / Access Sequences & Condition Records.
 Please note that all the above steps may not be needed if we are using some of the Standard Elements provided by SAP such as Message Type, Process Code, IDoc Type & Selection Program as many of the Standard SAP Applications have their own Elements for different Application Areas.
 For example, if you want to send an Order Confirmation IDoc when the Sales Order is saved, you can use the Message Type ORDRSP, IDoc Type ORDERS05 & Selection Program as IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP.
 However, Message Control Configuration is the Key Factor and is required for all the Applications as per the Customer's / Client's Requirements.
Hope the above procedure was clear.
Thanks and Regards,

Transfer Idocs from one system to other

Hi,
Please check below scenario regarding Idoc transfer from Source to Receiver system:
I have source system SRC and receiver system REC.
I want to send Idocs from SRC to REC based on some data checks in REC system.
For ex, I am sending Sales order Idocs from SRC to REC, but should send the Idocs only when corresponding Sales area customizing is maintained in REC to avoid creating error IDocs in REC.
Is there a way to check on REC customizing data before sending Idocs from SRC system?
Thanks,
Yogita

As you said "I would probably have a program running every x minutes to check for required changes in REC system"
But the required changes in REC system is the customizing data which I need to check against the Idocs in SRC system. So how will I link it with the Idocs in SRC?
Also do you think it is possible with RFC call from SRC system to check customizing data in REC system which is releated to SRC Idocs ?
What I was thinking is:
1 Collect SRC Idocs to be sent to REC
2 RFC call from SRC to check customizing data related to collected IDocs
3 If Customizing exists, do outbound(RSEOUT00)
else
dont post Idocs from SRC
Do you think this is achievable?
Thanks,
Yogita

Receiving idocs from multiple systems

I got to receive two different idocs from two differnt systems and both are to be mapped to one target structre. Is this scenario is possible without using BPM ? If so coupld you plz advise the design ? Is there any literature which talks abt this scenario ?
thanks
kumar

Hi Kumar,
Your scenarios look like n:1,like more than one sender .
You can implement your scenarios using BPM very easily.
Uisng BPM you can colect IDOCS from SAP system you can send.
Please search in sdn blogs you wil find it,
if you are unable to find let me know i will give u the links.

Hi Stefan,
Many of the customers are located in hungary and they have created the userid using their keyboard. Hence for now I already have a userid with that hungarian characters, in the SAP system.
Only I would request for the help on how to interface these characters in SAP Business connector to call RFC.

Using Inbound IDOC from Java system creation of Outbound delivery

Dear Experts,
The scenario we are having is really very interesting. Hopefully its a good learning for me and also for others also.
The scenario is,
After sales order creation the details will be sent to one Non SAP system (Java) for performing some tasks related to forwarding agent decision, shipping date and etc. Once the details are finalized in that Java system then, the details needs to be transferred to SAP as "Inbound IDOC" process. For this proposed to use the SAP Jco middle ware.
Once the details transfered from Java system to SAP then, the outbound IDOC needs to get generated automatically. Assuming the stock for that sales order line item is available. Also one more complexity is, our client is using custom transaction (ZVl10C) for delivery creation.
Now Query is,
1. Which IDOC, message type and Functional module needs to be used for creating the delivery automatically..??
2. As per assumption, stock of that sales order line item should be available. Due to some business reason the stock was removed during inbound IDOC transfer then, what will happen to the IDOC..?. How to avoid this situation..??
3. As we told we are re going to use SAP Jco b/w SAP & Java system. In this case, how the data will get transfered from Java system to SAP..?
Thanks in advance for the replies I am going to get
Regards,
VEL

Thanks for the feedback. This question is resolved

'Accept IDOC' from external system

Hi Experts, I am new to IDOCS. I have to update one already written function module to accept IDOC in SAP from external system. In the function module I see some IMPORT parameters like 'input_method' and 'mass_processing' and EXPORT parameters like 'workflow_result' , 'application_variable' , 'in_update_task', 'call_transaction_done' . Can someone tell me what are these parameters for ???.

input _method for method of data records update
Mass_processing for handling the large number of Idocs in single take
Workflow_result for hitting the results at last
'in_update_task' update the records in update mode
call_transaction_done' by using call transaction method it would post the records

How to get the status idoc from recieveing system

Hi All,
In our requirement we will be sending an idoc to the recieveing system. we are planning to get the staus of the idoc.
How can you recieve the status of the idoc that idoc has been is saftly reached to target server.
Can any one share the solution if you have confirgured the same before.
We are planning to use : Middleware.

Hi Anil,
If get the status 03 means your idoc successfully send to receiving system port. But in the receiving system if there any issue in processing you can't get these updated status automatically from receiving system. You know Idoc works in asynchronous mode. To get the status you need send one idoc with status (error , success ot warning) from receiving system to sending system.
Thanks
Subhankar.

Sending IDoc from external system to XI system

Hi All,
I want to send an IDoc from a subsytem (External System) to the SAP PI system. how to achieve the same ?
Regards,
Santosh

hi,
>>>Do you mean to say the port I am creating for the external system should actually refer to a SAP system
not the port - port's name should be a new one but the RFC should point to an SAP system
>>>and the IDoc you want to transmit should be imported to that port using the tcode IDX2.
this will be transported then from SAP application system
>>>>In fact I have already done the same step but its still not working the IDoc is not reaching the XI system.
then you should see the error in your sending tool - I worked with JCO IDOC client and the error was always
very explanatory (like BS in SLD missing etc.) so it was pretty easy to debug

QRFC/TRFC for sending idocs from SAP system to XI

Hi experts,
The standard program RFFOEDI1 generates payment orders - first PEXR2002 and then EUPEXR idocs. These idocs are to be sent to the bank from SAP through XI. Bank partner profile is maintained. But these idocs because of TRFC are not getting sent in the order in which they are generated by the SAP system. So I changed the bank partner profile settings from TRFC to QRFC and gave the rule name as first 16 of mes type. But the idocs are struck in the SAP system. Is there any standard program to be run to send the idocs out from SAP system or is it automatic.
Please suggest a standard method which is to be followed to send the idocs in the same order in which they are getting generated for the scenairo above.
Regards,
Asha

Hi Asha,
As you said Idocs are stucking,
To send Idocs to XI, you must have maintain some settings in XI to receive Idocs. Once they are done properly .in R3 side standard way to send idocs to XI is Maintaining Change Pointers and shedule the programe to trigger that most of Standard idocs will have standard programs to catch change pointers and send them to external system.
and to maintain the same order of idocs there is a setting called Quality Of Service in XI side ,that option should be set to Exactly Once In Order .

Ramesh.

Taking Idocs from different systems

Hi Experts,
I have done a scenario for CREMDM and DEBMDM where i had to get Idocs from R/3 system and send them to MDM using XI.
Now, i have to do a scenario where i have to take Idocs from two different systems and send them to a single MDM system. What changes do I need to make apart from those in SLD if the fields in the latter case are same as those in the former?

Hi,
   Sorry, i am unable to get what do u want.
Any how,based on my understanding i will provide some inputs.
1. please make sure the proper filed as correlation,
    based on corelation only we can able to bundle the idoc's
    (when we use the BPM).
   check the following scenario to bundle the idoc's.(not exact to u r requiremnet), but smilarity is there.
i,e SAP Basis component ->http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns->BpmPatternCollectTime ( integration scenario)....
