Inbound scenario using tRFC - serialization

Hi Guys,
I have the following scenario:
An external System is communicating with SAP using tRFC queue.
So from the SAP perspective this is an inbound scenario.
I am wondering if the sequence of the IDocs that are attached to the tRFC queue by that external system
is kept while they get processed on the SAP side.
To say it in other words: Will SAP process the IDOcs in the same sequence as they were attached to the RFC queue before?
So if there is a communication error will be the sequence kept after communication is established again?
Or do I have to build the timestamp serialization - what I want to avoid as the ALE input function module doesn't provide this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Dheeraj,
the challenge with the "map the TLOG and create WPUUMS Idoc" is that inside the TLOG you are getting receipt based data. But for the WPUUMS IDOC you'd be expecting to see aggregated information.
The better and recommended way to integrate SAP POS with SAP Retail is to use the delivered standard integration with the following two data streams:
1. SAP Retail master data (e.g. articels, prices, promotions) to SAP PI to SAP POS
2. SAP POS - Transnet - SAP PI - SAP POS DM - SAP BW/SAP Retail
The advantage would be that aggregation is handled in POS DM and you have all the detail available in SAP BW and that you will be able to utilize the data collected for other processes as well.
Please check the Wiki for POS Integration which will give you a good overview about the integration and covered scenarios:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CK/ExchangeInfrastructure-SAPPOS+Integration
For SAP POS DM you will find a wiki here:

File -- IDOC scenario using XI 3.0

Hi
I tried out a simple flat file to IDOC scenario using XI as the middleware and tried to post documents of type CREMAS03 on the backend R/3 system.
Now, I see that there is an IDOC number generated in the XI layer by the IDOC adapter. This IDOC number is seen under <SAP:DOCNUM>XXXXXXXXXX</SAP:DOCNUM>in the
Response-->IDOCOUTBOUND section of the pipeline in SXMB_MONI
According to SAP documentation :
To enable you to select IDocs in the target system later on, the system transfers the message GUID and the IDoc number in the ARCKEY field of the IDoc control record.
Now, I do find the XI msgid given as arckey in the control record of the Inbound in the target R/3 backend system. But I cannot find the XI IDOC number being cross referenced in the control record of the IDOC in the R/3 backend.
1.Is there a way to cross reference the IDOC number in XI with the IDOC number in the R/3 backend ( we have two different IDOC numbers, right ) i.e a IDOC number to IDOC number cross referencing in this File-->IDOC inbound into the R/3 system scenario involving XI
2. In the XI box, do we get as a part of async.reponse from the R3 system, the IDOC number that is created within the R3 system ? This would serve directly as a cross reference. Or do we have to indirectly query EDIDC table in the R/3 backend with the arckey value = msgid in XI - to retrieve the IDOC number created in the R3 backend ?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi,
Pls look into following link about Acknowledgement.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/content.htm
Pls note that , you can't get/receive the Acknowledgement for Sender File Adapter. Because File System acts as an Async system. But you can get the Idoc response and you can write it into another file. For this you need to use BPM.
Hope this helps..

Inbound Interface using Idoc

Hi sir,
I am working on an inbound scenario for goods movements from ABC system to SAP thru WPUWBW01 IDOC
I have to do two things:
Step 1: SAP read flat file from ABC sysem & Convert data from flat file into IDOC structure according to the agreed data mapping
Step 2: Process IDOC to create goods movement.
I have very less idea on inbound scenarios. I know for outbound we used to write code in User exits.
What about inbound one? where to write code.
Please suggest.
Regards
Krishan

Hi!
1. By giving different parameters to the BAPIs. Check out transaction MIGO. You'll see A01 operation is for material income and R01 reference document is for purchase order. These fields can be located in the top left corner.
2. Mostly standards are giving the basic, but you always have to copy it to your needs. Then enter your function module in WE42 transaction to the given process
3. Of course you have to
4. You have to separate them with an IF statement maybe. Don't forget to set statuses for the IDoc and for correct processing, use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT statement also.
5. Pass

RFC Scenario using BPM

I did whatever mentioned in that blog(/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit). Also I do have some experience in BPM.
After testing I don't see the file inthe outbound directory. So I started analysing from all sides.
1. First checked the message in my sxi_monitor, it black and white flag showed that the message processed successfully.
2. I opened the message and saw the message from CENTRAL Client passed to PE ADAPTER Client with tooltip showing "Transfer to Process engine".
1. First I checked whether my BPM is correct by pressing F7. There is no syntax error.
2. I checked in sx_cache, the ReturnCode was 0.
3. In smq2 I saw a message stuck in the PE queue. I double clicked the queue and saw the status text as "Permanent error in BPE inbound processing". So I kept debugging by pressing F8 and after that the message got disappeared.
4. I opened the message in sxi_monitor, and after the CENTRAL Client the message passed to PE ADAPTER, which measn the meesage has got transferred to process engine. But i'm not seeing any change in the file.
5. Also what I did was use transaction SXMB_MONI and chose process radio button and execute. Located my message but there is no task value which starts with 'WS..' in Process def column.
Can you please pinpoint where i went wrong and anything else?
One more thing, everytime i test the new file the file goes and gets stuck in the queue and I have got to follow the item 3 mentioned above.
Thanks,

Hi Kishore, The second block is a synchronous send block in the BPM triggers the call to RFC. I've done it as per the blog. There is no transformation step in the BPM. Anyway I fixed the issue. In the receive block whatever container value I used should be used in the send block also. Earlier I was getting some warning. Now my BPM is clean and it worked.
Lesson learnt: Ensure there is no warning in the BPM. Thanks again Kishore.
Thanks,

Invoking a scenario using web service

Hi Experts,
Could anyone pls suggest how to pass variables from SOAP to ODI 11g(11.1.1.6.3)
Here we are using wsdl utility to invoke a scenario using web service and trying to pass a variable like the below
The scenario is triggered successfully without passing a parameter.
But when i try to pass a variable like the below,am getting error
Variables name='PROJECT_CODE'
Variables value='JI-2015'
In ODI 11g, i have generated a scenario with a variable PROJECT_CODE as a declare variable and tried triggering from both the environments
From ODI 11g:
When I try to trigger the scenario from wsdl, in that variable step(in operator), I got error as ODI-17546: Specified variable not found in the Repository
But in the work repository SNP_VAR table I could still see the variable name under VAR_NAME column.
From ODI 10g:
When i try to do the same from odi 10g, the scenario execution is success.
But the variable had taken only NULL value instead of taking the value which i passed from wsdl.
Could you pls advise where am going wrong

variable should be passed in the soap message by adding variables elements. Refer to Note ID [1499852.1]
<Variables>
<Name>Project.Variable1</Name>
<Value>Variable1Value</Value>
</Variables>
<Variables>
<Name>Project.Variable2</Name>
<Value>Variable2Value</Value>
</Variables>
<Variables>
<Name>Project.Variable3</Name>
<Value>Variable3Value</Value>
</Variables>

Inbound IDOC using XML

Hi,
I need to create an Inbound IDOC using Function modules using an XML file as Input.
I am using mySAP ERP 2004(WAS 6.4).
IDOC type : HRMD_A05
Message Type : HRMD.
I am using the FM's in an ABAP report for testing, reading the data from the XML File using the FM GUI_UPLOAD .
I tried using the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP,with import parameters XML_STREAM, CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE, REMOTE_ADDR.(ALL Type Strings)
This FM creates the IDOC successfully but i do not get the status record for the IDOC as there are no export parameters or tables where i can get the value.
I am trying using the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP,with import Parameters as XML_STREAM type XSTRING,and there is the export parameter ASSIGN ,type IDOC_ASSIGN_TAB and i was wondering if this could return the status.
I used the same XML and used the FM "SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING", to convert the file input string into XSTRING.
On executing this i get the exception,"NO DATA RECEIVED" .
Can anybody Please Tell me
1)How to get the status of an IDOC if i use the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP ?
2)How to use the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP ?
3)Is there any other way to create an IDOC with XML input?
Thanks,
regards,
Siddhartha Jain

HI Nagarajan,
I had checked the first link mentioned by you and activated the required service from Transacttion SICF,but still it didn't help.
The second link points to the IDOC Adaptor for XI,guess it won't help as i'm not using XI.
I want to pass XML data read from file and call a FM which creates and posts and IDOC into R/3 and returns the IDOC Number and Status.
For this i found the FM's IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP and IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP.
The FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP accepts xml as string and posts IDOC succesully,but i do not get the status and IDOC Number.
The IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP accepts xml as xstring,so i used the FM SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING to convert the same xml string to xstring and pass it to the FM.But it gives an error 'NO DATA RECEIVED'.
If i make few changes to the XML doc,to include SOAP envelope ,like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><HRMD_A05>.......</HRMD_A05>
to
<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap-env:Body><IDOC BEGIN="1">.......</IDOC></soap-env:Body></soap-env:Envelope>
I get the error,the tag <IDOC BEGIN="1"> not found ,the IDOC XML should be of format <IDOC BEGIN="1"> <IDOC>.
Can anybody please help on what to do/how to proceed.
Thanks,
Regards,
Siddhartha

File to File scenario using Transport Protocol FTP Problem

Hi,
my scenario is a file to file scenario using Transport Protocol FTP
there are 3 systems involved
a. computer 1 ( My system-source)
b. computer 2 (XI server)
c. computer 3 (Target system)
I want XI to pick file from computer 1 and post it to computer 3
I am logging on to XI server from computer 1(thro SAP GUI),
Sender communication channel :
Transport protocol:FTP
Messsage protocol: file
In FTP connection Parameters:
Server: computer 1 IP address
port:21
User name and PW---> I have given computer 1 Username and password.
Connection mode: permanently
Transfer mode: Binary
Folder: C:\ftproot\output
filename : given
In Receiver Communication Channel
Transport protocol:FTP
Message protocol: file
In FTP connection Parameters:
Server: computer 3 IP address
port:21
User name and PW---> I have given computer 3 Username and password.
Connection mode: permanently
Transfer mode: Binary
Put File: Use Temporary File
Folder:
eccserver\saploc\tmp
filename scheme: given
When I activate the scenario file is not getting picked from the source
In Adapter Framework: Message says up and running No message processing now
How to check FTP server is up and running on computer 1 (source system)and Computer 2 (XI server)?
What could be the problem ?
Thanks
dushanth

Hi
Consider that I dont have FTP installed on my computer. According to this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang
I have configured.
In sender comm channel I have given Ipaddress of computer 1 (which has a file to be picked)
In Receiver Comm channel I have given IP address of computer 3 (in which file to be posted)
and computer 2 is the XI server
Computer 1 has FTP installed
1. XI server should have FTP installed or not ? IF yes is it FTP client or FTP server or Guild FTP (according to the blog is enough)
2. Computer 3 should have FTP installed or not ?
Please help me I am really confused.
Thanks

Change inbound delivery using /SPE/IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1

Hello -
We are creating an inbound delivery using the idoc function module /SPE/IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1. I have need to be able to change an existing delivery via idoc processing, so we are populating and mapping an E1EDL18 segment with the qualifier 'CHG'. However, in /SPE/IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1, it does not appear to handle CHG. I have debugged down into the code and in method PARSE_AND_HANDLE_IDOC_DELVRY03, when the segment is E1EDL18, there is a case statement that looks at the qualifier, and CHG is not dealt with.
Any ideas how to handle this? Or is this a legitimate bug I should report to SAP?
Thanks for any help!

Hard to say. Why not just report it? The worst they can do is say it's a consulting issue.

File to SOAP Scenario Using BPM

Hi,
I am doing File to SOAP scenario using BPM.
while doing Integration Process in IR, i got the following error message
"Expression of simple type xsd:string expected"
But i have given xsd:string in the correlation element as well as in Data types.
I dont know why it is getting the error.
could you anyone please help me to sort out?
Regards,
Sai Ch.

Hey,
Check in the correlation editor, where you define the condition.
Whether the data type of the XPath is string and whether it matches with the data type of the messages that you have selected.also make sure the type of the correlation variable is string.

End to end scenario using Webservic and SAP XI

Hi Experts,
I have read many blogs regarding Integrating XI using WebService, SOAP, HTTP for many scenarios but I am still confused and no blogs were clearly saying about the end to end scenario what happens where and how?
My question is could any one please please please explain me why we are using Webservice if you explain me with an CREDIT CHECK scenario using XI and Webservice that would be very fare.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers!!!!

XI scenarios using Sender RFC Adapter

Hi Forum,
I am eager to know what kind of XI scenarios use sender RFC Adapter, can u give an example,
does this mean........executing a RFC in a R/3 system and the result of the execution goes to XI.....or,
does this means, like a sender JDBC Adpter, from XI, triggering execution of a RFC on a R/3, and getting back the result into XI............
can i have a step by step blog to create such a scenario....
thanks and regards

Hi Sudeep,
Sorry for late reply.
Yes the 2nd reply was for receiver RFC.
1. As i mentioned To configure Sender RFC you need TCP\IP connection. in that connection you will use the option registered server program and will mention a program ID there.
2. Sudeep just remember, please configure RFC sender on XI side first and give a Program ID there, gateway service, host and login of your R3 system. Program id can be any string your name also. and please dont forget to activate the channel before going to R3 side.
3. Then configure RFC in R3 side, and mention that same program id. mention your gateway host as R3 name or IP and you can get the gateway service from Tcode smgw. it must be something like smgw<xx>.
and for ur information the program id is nothing but an identity on which basis the R3 system will search that which server object is active using that program id.
4. when you will write a report to execute that RFC in background, use Commit work as last statement.
Please let me know if you want any further information.

File to IDOC Scenario using BPM

Hi Experts,
    I am working on file-Bapi-Idoc scenario using BPM.
    I have two conditions
1. If the Sonumber is populated then need trigger an Bapi_change
2.If the Sonumber is not populated from the file then need to trigger a Bapi_Createfromdat to create the sales order and receive the salesorder number as response from Bapi
and the response of these BAPIs should be validated whether the Bapi is successful or not.
If it is successful message then need to trigger IDOC or else should throw an alert message.
let me know the steps involved in this scenario.
can i send alert message to other email IDs or can i send it to only XI admin?
Please let me know u r inputs.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hey,
You need to have a BPM for this.
BPM design.
Recieve step(abstract asynchronous) for file structure
Switch Case(condition whether sonumber is populated or not)
if populated
Branch 1(of switch)
    transforamtion step:- mapping between File and Bapi_Change(Request structure)
Send step(abstract syncronous) To send the BAPI_change
Branch 2(of switch)
transformation step:-mapping between file and BApi_Create
Send step(abstract synchronous) To send the BAPI_Create
Block step(which will include the Switch step)
    trigger an Execption in case of an error(in any of the two branches) through the block
    The Exception will trigger an alert.
Now after the Block step there will be a transformation step(which will have the mapping between RFC response and Idoc)
Next is the send step(abstract asynchronous) for the idoc
In case if there is no exception the Idoc will be triggered or the exception branch will trigger the alert
rewards points if useful
