Including Inbound and Outbound Interfaces to Business System

Hello
Iam new to SAP XI, but have expierence in webMethods EAI Tool.
Iam developing a sample interface to pick and put a file in SAPXI itself and for this have created the Interface(data type,mesg typ , mesg inetface , mappin and interface) in Repository.
Now to pick and put file what setting should have to do in Directory.
I have added a Business Service, but it is not listing the Component which was created by me from SLD (only standard component versions which came along with SAPXI are listed). Because of this the interface (inbound and outboound) which was created in my component is not listed.
Can any one help me with this.
Also can you suggest an devleopment doc to refer.
Thanks
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Check out this thread..
Inconsistence Adapter Framework
No entry for adapter engine in CPACache
Also check OSS Note : 764176 - Error in XI due to inconsistent SLD contents
This note provides a lot of information, but may not be enough. Carry out the following checks:
check that the CPACache works ok
check that sxi_cache works ok
check that sxi_cache->goto-->AE Cache shows an entry for the adapter engine
check the roles for the service users, especially xidiruser

Monitoring of inbound and outbound messages for business system ECC 6.0

Hi Guys,
I am working on ABAP proxy. I want to monitor the flow of Inbound and Outbound messages for my Business system (ECC 6.0).
XI server is on a different system.
I understand that SXMB_MONI is used for tracking XML messages. What kind of tracking can we do by this transaction in our Business system and the XI system?
And how do I know whether the outbound XML message sent is lying in the Sending Business system or in the XI system?
When I am testing my interface, there is a fault message generated. How do I know whether the fault message is being sent to XI?
Thanks,
James.

James,
Go to SXMB_MONI in your sending system.
Here you will find a message ID fro your Message.
Go to XI, --> SXMB_MONI -->Monitor For Processed XML messages --> Advanced Selection Crieteria and use the Message ID here to see if the Message has hit XI or not.
Likeiwse it can be traced in the target system as well.
The basic point, The messages will have same Message Id on your R3 and on XI.

No inbound/outbound interfaces for Business Systems

Hi,
after upgrading from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1 there are no inbound and outbound interfaces in the Communication Component definition for our Business Systems any more.
We didn't change anything in SLD.
Does anybody know why these entries are lost in 7.1?
Regards
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
I faced the same problem while i was trying to select the interfaces while configuring the scenario in ID.
I could not found any interfaces after i selected my Business System for the sender.
Solution: Go to the SLD.
In the technical system Go to the
Technical System------> Installed Software (TAB) and add the Product name under this tab as it appears in the IR.
After this you need to go to the corresponding business system
Business System-----> Installed Software (TAB) check the installed products under this tab.
This has done the solution for me.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

How to do an inbound and outbound interfacing using UTL_FILE ?

dear members,
How can we do interfacing from a legacy system to oracle and vice versa using the UTL_FILE package. I mean how to do an INBOUND and OUTBOUND interfacing using utl_file.
regards
sandeep

in/
file/
bad/
done/
out/
file/
bad/
done/
I would start by ftping / putting the file in in/file/ folder, once ftp has completed move it to complete/ folder and process the file. If errorrs are generated move the file over to bad folder. If completed successfully move over to done folder.
Having said that you would use UTL_FILE_DIR init parameter to set your directory.
ALTER SYSTEM SET UTL_FILE_DIR='directory1','directory2' scope=spfile;
Then you would use the regular utl_file packages to read / write to the files.
UTL_FILE.FOPEN and so on.

Hi Sandeep,
I do not know if I got your question correct.
Here is my understanding of it, pls correct me if I am wrong:
You want to read from and write to the OS from inside the DB? Right?
There are differnt waysa to do so, depanding on your Oracle version:
1. you can use the initialization parameter UTL_FILE_DIR to specify a directory on OS where you can read from and write to through the package UTL_FILE.
2. You can use a directory object in the DB to manage read write access to the OS. This is also usable with the package UTL_FILE as location where to read from and write to.
=> CREATE DIRECTORY my_dir AS '/home/oracle/my_directory';
GRANT read , write ON DIRECTORY my_dir TO scott;
SELECT * FROM dba_directories;
You need CREATE ANY DIRECTORY system privilege for this.
You can use directory objects also for external tables.
With these you can read from flat files in teh directory on OS with a select statement as if it were a table inside the DB.
Does this go into the direction you were thinking of?
Hope it helps for the first.

Lutz

When To Use Inbound and Outbound Interfaces?

I use an Inbound message type when i am receiving some data and outbound message type when i push data out of the XI box??Is this correct..
And how to decide when to use a Inbound and Outbound Interface?

Hi Barik,
I use an Inbound message type when i am receiving some data and outbound message type when i push data out of the XI box??Is this correct..
WRONG!!!
outbound message->XI->Inbound message...
(sender system)->XI->(reciever system)
remeber: when u r sending some data to XI u send it using outbound interface.
and when u r sending some data from Xi to other system u use inbound interface...
Hope ur doubt is clear!!

Unit test plan for inbound and outbound interfaces

I am trying to create a UNIT TEST PLAN for an interface. In this interface a flat file in IDOC format is picked up from the application server and processed using EDI_DATA_INCOMING for the relevant posting ( example : Sales order creation from a PO IDOC). IF the file is not in IDOC format then it is reformatted to the IDOC format manually.
In second scenario(outbound), after sales order creation or billing document creation, IDOC is created which is read and a custom flat file is created and sent to a middleware.
PLease suggest a unit test plan for these kind of scenarios or send a sample UTP if possible.

PS: points will be awarded to helpful answers.

Unfortunately this isn't possible, the esa has only one routing table. You'll have to add specific routes for your internal networks.
I usually avoid two-armed setups because of this and it gets even worse if you want to use virtual gateways (traffic gets sent via the internal interface with an IP from the external interface)

Can not insert Receiver and Sender objects in Business System of ID?

Dear All,
I am facing a strange situation that in existing Business System of the Integration Directory, both the Insert Line Below Selection and Delete Selected Lines bottons are not there for both Inbound Interfaces and Outbound Interfaces. But for the business service, everything is ok. Is this some access role issue? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks and Regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,
This is correct only. And it is not an access issue.
The inbound / outbound interfaces gets populated based on the SWCVs installed on this particular business system in the SLD.
i.e., when you define the business system, if you added "installed products" the interfaces in the SWCVs gets added automatically...
Thanks,
Renjith

Gl balance inbound and outbound

Hi sap gurus,
We are having legacy systems that should interact with sap.I need to know the following for the GL balances through inbound and outbound
1.How data will flow parallely into sap.what steps i have to follow to do this.
2.what user exits or idocs or interfaces i have to use.
3.how the GL balances data will trigger into sap.
Plz help.This is most urgent for me.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay,
I am assuming that you are asking about inbound and outbound process.
These process comes under SAP Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Outbound process--> When a document is sent from SAP system to any other system (to business partners say bank or vendors).
eg sending a quotation to vendor.
Steps:
1. Application doc is created
2. IDoc is generated
3. IDoc transferred from SAP to the Operating System layer
4. IDoc is converted to EDI standards
5. IDoc transmission to business partners
6. Status report sent to SAP system.
Inbound process is reverse of Outbound process-->When a document is sent from business partner to SAP system.
eg Bank sending account statement.
Steps:
1. EDI transmission received
2. EDI Doc is converted into IDoc
3. IDoc transferred to SAP layer
4. Appication document creation
5. View appliation doc.
ALE (Application Link Enabling) method uses tRFC (Transactional Remote Functional Call) port for communication and refer to same concept mostly.
Hope it helps.

SAP inbound and outbound delivey in single shipment document

Hi
We are doing outbound and inbound delivery creation in SAP. These are dropped to OTM(oracle transport management system). OTM will create orders for deliveries and groups multiple deliveries into one shipment. This is sent back to SAP for shipment creation. Problem we have is SAP can have either inbound deliveries Or outbound deliveires in a shipment. Based on inbound shipment or outbound shipment in shipment document type. OTM does not has this restriction and can bundle both outbound and inound in single shipment.
Business scenario we have is multi pick and multi drop, where there is possibility that 1) inbound del from vendor for PO 2) Outbound del to customer for SO and 3) outbound/inbound del for STO from RDC to DC in a single sipment.
Please advice ow this can be achieved in SAP.
Best Regards

It is not possible to involve both inbound and outbound deliveries in the same shipment. SAP has its deficiencies...
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-log-wm/inbound-and-outbound-delivery-in-the-same-shipment-3512217
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/f5/04898047bd11d2bf750000e8a7386f/frameset.htm
You cannot place outbound deliveries and inbound deliveries together in the same shipment document. Nor is it possible to assign Items from a delivery or an inbound delivery to different shipment documents. You must decide at the delivery stage whether order items can be shipped together in one delivery and therefore require only one shipment.

Seeking recommendations for handling large binary documents with security(preferable) for inbound and outbound scenarios from OSB- SOA and SOA- OSB

Hi,
I am currently working on a project with the following requirements
1. Client transfers binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from OSB proxy to SOA composite to Content Management system
2. Client retrieves binary document (between 1-20MB in size) from Content Management system to SOA composite to OSB proxy
In otherwords, a inbound and outbound integration.
What I have tried so far and my results:
Scenario A
1. Enabled MTOM on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
Scenario B
1. Enabled MTOM and security on SOA composite by attaching wsmtom policy and SAML policy
2. Created an OSB business service and consumed the SOA composite application
3. Enabled MTOM on OSB proxy and business service and configured it to pass by reference
I have a demo integration setup that writes a binary document to a file using the above steps. My SOA composite has a file adapter that writes the binary data to an external file and it is exposed as a web service with a simple WSDL definition that has an inline XSD schema with an single element of base64binary type. I have added a mediator that maps this base64binary element node to the file adapter's input node.
Result for Scenario A with file size less than 1 MB:
Flawless execution with sub-second response times
Result for Scenario A with file size of 8MB
First attempt: SOA composite faults with database transaction related error, solved by increasing JTA timeout
Second attempt: Flawless execution, but file transfer took over 100 seconds to complete. This is very poor performance and my suspicions are that this cannot be the expected behaviour, but I dont know the internal workings of the SOA composite and why its taking this long.
Result for Scenario B:
The OSB business service does not accept/recognize the SAML policy in the WSDL and suggests to configure OWSM policies manually, but OWSM policy in OSB does not have the wsmtom policy. Regardless of this, any permutation of MTOM + WSS security in this integration scenario either did not work outright or MTOM optimization was not happening ie binary data was materalizing in the message body.
I have only about 3 weeks left to implement a viable solution and the closest ive come to a solution is Scenario A but that +100 second response time for an 8MB file is really worrying.
I would appreciate any level of guidance, recommendations or suggestions as to how I go about tackling this problem.
Thanks
regards,
Johnny

I think this is due to the underlying mechanism of weblogic classloading..
You can contact oracle support @ https://support.oracle.com to report issues. Roughly this is the process .
1- get the Oracle Customer Support Identifier (CSI) for the client you are working for.
2- Create a user profile quoting the CSI. This will send an approval request to oracle support admins at your client.
3- Get the oracle support admins at your client site to approve your request for support access.
4-Once they approve , you can access the support site and raise service requests.

Defining INBOUND and OUTBOUND

Hi Every One,
I have a very small question.
How do we define INBOUND and OUTBOUND?
I got this doubt, when I read some material, sometimes the directions (INBOUND and OUTBOUND) are told as per application systems which participate in message exchange? Sometimes the directions are told as per the XI integratin server.
Which of the 2 methods stated above is correct?
I hope I am clear in what I wanted to convey.
Bye, tschüs, adeu
-Naveen.

Hi NaveenKumar,
You use a message interface to describe a platform-independent or programming-language-independent interface, which you want to use to exchange messages between application components using SAP Exchange Infrastructure. Depending on the communication parameters defined for a message interface, it can either have the task of sending a request (outbound) or receiving a request (inbound).
An outbound interface sends a request message that is only used to make a communication party aware of data sent, without waiting for a response message. In the case of the latter, we also refer to publishing interfaces.
An inbound interface receives a request message that you reply to with a direct response message or whose data you can process in the system without a response.
I guess i have helped you solve your confusion.

Logging inbound and outbound connections through my Linksys router

Hi There,
I have a Linksys wireless router (WRT54G series) that I use to connect to the internet with my cable modem. I would like to be able to configure my home network to log inbound and outbound connections through my router.
My router, which I bought brand new a couple of years ago, provides some very basic logging through its administration interface. I can view a current log of very recent (within the past couple of minutes) inbound and outbound connections/traffic. However, I would like to be able to configure my network to log all inbound and outbound traffic for at least 1 or 2 days and have this log saved somewhere so I can retrieve and review it at a more convenient time. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with my current Linksys router and would like some help in configuring my system.
Is it possible for me to configure (perhaps with a firmware upgrade or even by replacing my older Linksys router with a newer one) my router to continuously log a day or more's worth of inbound and outbound connections? If this is possible, what changes do I need to implement? Does Linksys offer a wireless router that has more sophisticated logging capabilities? What is the longest log period that I can create with a Linksys router?
If it's not possible to create such a log with my router, then what other components would I need to log this information? I've thought about setting up a Linux server with two network cards installed to act as a gateway between my router and cable modem which will log traffic. Would this be a good strategy to implement logging?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

well...the router's in-built log will only provide basic information about the incoming/outgoing log . So, it will be a good idea to install a separate log viewer .....
