Integration Scenario OR Collobration profiles and Aggrements

Hi all,
         Is the process creation of Communication Channels, Actions and Integration Scenario in IR and then Importing these Comm Channels and Integration Scenario in to ID is the best way
                          OR
         In ID Manually create Comm Channel and creation of Collaboration profile and collaboration aggrements is the best way
Which do i need to follow for doing my Scenario.

Hi Vijaya Lakshmi,
Although using the wizard is so-considered to be one of the best practices, theres no hard and fast rule. Both will take the same amount of time and knowledge. You can use the one you are most comfortable with.
Doing it yourself without taking aid of a wizard doesn't require very profound skills as such. However, creating scenario using Actions, swim lanes in IR does help in documenting and keeping track of complex processes.

One integration scenario Many target system and Outgoing compressed data

I have some theoretical questions about XI usage.
At first, I'm not quite sure about the following thing: for example we have a corporate system and a lot of mobile computers (let's name them "clients") with installed small databases. Number of clients is not constant, but integration scenario is one for all of them. Next, if we add new client we must add new technical system, business system, communication channel, configure scenario, add required receiver and interface determination, and so on and so on. If we remove client we also must do all these steps. In this case, is it possible in XI (anywhere) to automate these procedures of scenario configuration? For example create something like business system template with communication channels or have one business system and a lot of communication channels in one integration scenario (in this way I suppose that message will be delivered to target system on the message content-based routing) and quickly activate/deactivate this channels (in fact receiver determination).
At second, we know that XI can receive and send compressed data if client initiates communication with XI. Anybody know about reverse functionality, when XI initiates communication with target system and compresses data (on the understanding that target system is able to receive and handle compressed data). If anybody know that is possible - can you navigate me to this information?
Thank you for help,
Best regards.

Hi Maxim,
You dont need to create techn and bus systems in SLD for your clients as you can use business services. Of course you have to create a comm channel for every client (receiver address is individual!). Receiver determination and interface determination can be configured dynmamicly with wild cards (*). You can find receivers by condition of payload content.
If you want to change this conditions very quickly (with a customizing table) you can use following trick: Use a ABAP mapping which is reading that table. Unfortunately the message is first routed and then mapped. So you have to send the message over http adapter back to XI, where the changed message is now routed by a condition. Of course a quite complex scenario, the monitoring is even more complex bcoz doubled no of messages (no performance problem - http adapter is never a bottleneck).

Documentation on Integration Scenarios for BAS-PV and DES

Hi,
Is there any documentation on the Integration Scenarios for BAS Postal Validation, and Duplicate-Check and Error-Tolerant Search for ECC 5.0?
What we have is only for R3 4.6, and the behavior of business partners for ECC 5.0 is very much different as compared to R3 4.6.
Thanks!

Use DISM to add drivers returns an error on an image which has profiles and programdata on a seperate volume

Hi,
We capture and modify W7 Ent and Pro OS images on a regular base by using DISM to add drivers for example. Until now we never had a problem because we always had images which only had 1 OS volume captured. DISM works fine to mount the image to a mount
folder, add drivers, and save the changes in the image.
However now we encounter an issue when doing the same actions on an image where the \Windows folder was located on the C:\ volume and \programdata and \users folders where redirected to a D:\ volume.
When mounting the C:\ volume image (including everything except \programdata and \users folders) the error we receive when trying to add or get drivers is:
Error 3 - the \Windows folder is not a valid Windows directory.
The DISM.Log file show right before this error that the remote registry could not be contacted.
This is caused I think because the registry files are located on the \Users folder, but since this folder is not captured in the image (located on another volume during capture) it cannot find the registry.
My question is: how can we resolve this?
What we have now is 1 WIM file where index1 is the OS (C:\ volume) and index2 is the \ProgramData and \Users folders (D:\ volume). Probably the way of capturing the image and redirecting programdata/users is not done in a correct way...
Note: the image index1 and index2 restore works fine - the unattended.xml contains also redirection to the folders paths for \programdata and \users...
Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated!
Thx.
Steve
Wkr, Steve

Hi Steve,
You can be right that DISM don’t support the scenario that User profile and System are in the separated volumes.
As a workaround, we should use the defaults to put the profile on C: during capture image, and then set the profile path to be on the D: drive after the image deploying.
Please refer to below KB for how to using Sysprep to redirect profiles’ locations.
Customize the default local user profile when preparing an image of Windows

ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration Scenarios with SAP DS for ESA v3

Hi,
we are planning two PoCs of Integration Plattforms. One of our major requirement set is SAP Integration into our existing SOA.
Because we also have R/3 4.7 Systems in production, we are planning to test ALE/IDOC and RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios with these Integration Plattforms.
My question is:
We are looking for are smart solution to get a SAP Test Environment, where we can test ALE/IDOC und RFC/BAPI Integration scenarios.
It is possible to do this with SAP DS for ESA v3 or shall we better use IDES for that purpose?
Best regards,

Hi Abhishek,
This is our scenario. We are doing an integration of SAP HR r/3 system with the CRM system. We need housing information details of the employees which we have in custom infotype 9310 in SAP HR system and we need those details in the CRM system. So am planning out for an ALE/IDOC approach for the integration and gonna maintain the 9310 details in a custom table. In the CRM system, we gonna build a BOL layer for accessing the 9310 details. Also i'm preparing a HLD for this process. I wanna read and go through few same HLD's before i submit my proposal to my client. Please suggest me and help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Can Firefighter logon using the Netweaver Business Client to launch Firefighter ID?
- No, GRAC_SPM is the way to go.
Is that mandate to use GRC system to launch Firefighter ID using GRAC_SPM transaction code? or can the user logon to local system as well?
- Yes. However, the option would be nice to have a workaround in case GRC is down
What about Portal based system Firefighting functionality? Can we have Firefighter IDs on Netweaver Java system?
- As far as I know only for transactional SAP systems.
Will I be able to grant a Firefighter ID to a Firefighter User on hourly basis?
- Same as answered already - no.
For initial setup , how the initial data load of Firefighter Ids Owners, Controllers and Firefighter Users can be done? Are there options like load from Excel or CSV available as part of setup toolset?
- Same as answered already - no.

Integration scenario and configuration scenario - is it madatory

Hi,
Integration Scenarios are not mandatory, the reason for creating them is given in the blog you mentioned:
The advantages of defining integration scenarios in the Integration Builder (design tool) are as follows:
· The integration scenario provides you with an overview of the process and the process flow
· The integration scenario club together all objects like SWVC,Interface objects, mapping objects,integration processes.You can access all of these objects from the integration scenario.
· The integration scenario gives you the design time information which is required for its configuration.
The configurtation items are getting created.
Regards
Patrick

Hi Priya,
There are two things here.
1) Create the Integration Scenario in the IR.
2) Use the wizard to configure the integration scenario in ID.
The Integration scenario created in the IR acts as a template to create the configuration objects in ID.
The wizard will create the actual configuration objects only (not just documentation).
But creating integration scenarios is not mandatory.
YOu can as well create all the configuration objects manually.
Generally, you will go for Integration scenarios if you are building a general purpose product (Product based ).
If it is a project that you are building for a particular customer, you can chose to create the configuration objects using the configuration scenario approach.

Mix B2B and A2A in integration scenario

Hello XI experts,
I'm trying to build an integration scenario in the repository that I want to import later on into the directory for automatic configuration.
The scenario is HTTP -> XI -> RFC. On the sender side I would like to use a business service, so I selected 'External party with B2B communication' for the sending application component. On the receiver side I would like to use a SAP business system, so I didn't select that option there.
Now, if I import into the directory, this doesn't work as expected. I can select my business service for the sender side, this works. However, for the receiver side I always have to specify a virtual receiver service and my receiver determination and interface determination are created with a virtual receiver service in it.
Is there any way to avoid the virtual receiver? Any help is appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias

Hello Aamir,
you are right, I don't need virtual receivers for my scenaro and I also don't want to use them.
However, when modelling my scenario with an integration scenario in the design, I'm forced to do this and I would like to know whether there is any way to avoid this.
In order to be able to use a business service on the sender side, it seems I have to select the checkbox 'External party with B2B communication' in my integration scenario. When importing & configuring the scenario in the directory, I am then able to select by business service for the sender side. However, for the receiver side I have to specify a virtual receiver, otherwise I cannot finish the config wizard.
Any more ideas?
Best regards,
Matthias

Regarding Integration Scenario and Communication Channel Template

Dear All,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
Please clarify my doubts.Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Ramana.

Hi Ramana,
1.What is the purpose of creating Integration Scenario in IR?Is it compulsary to create Integration Scenario in Every Case?(I mean Scenario not using BPM and Scenario using BPM).
>>> For graphical overview about the sceanrio.It is not compulsary to create Integration Sceanrio.
2.What is the purpose of creating Communication Channel Template in IR?
>>> In integration scenario while creating the connection between two actions u need to specify the communication channel templates for Sender and Receiver.
3.If we create Communication Channel Template in IR?Do we need to utilize that Communication Channel Template for creating Communication Channel in ID?
>>>You can utilize these templates in ID.After completion to creating the configuration sceanrio need to modify the parameters of the channels.
4.IF we have created Integration Scenario in IR,and we transfered that Scenario from IR to ID,then Do we need to create Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination?or will they automatically created?
>>> From Tools-->Transfer Integration sceanrio from Integration Repository, From input help choose the sceanrio,Continue and click on Finish ,with the same name the configuration scenaro will create in ID.You need to follow the Confiuration steps like Assign services , here need to choose u r source & target business systems and Configure Connections in this step you can cross check the interfaces,mapping,channel templates involved in this sceanrio and Generate. It would automatically generates Sender Agreement,Receiver Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination. It would shown to u Generation Log, here you can check what are the objects generated and if there are any errors it would shown Number of errors.
By setting the appropriate channel parameters, activate all objects from change list.Now u can able to test the sceanrio.
However in latest version it is not compulsoary to create Integration sceanrio in IR and to the above things.You can use Configuration Wizard to do all these things or you can do these mauvally.
Hope it will helps to clear u r doubts.
Cheers

Integration Scenario Configuator and Business Services (B2B)

We use Business Services to define the services provided by our external business partners (e.g. a transport organization has defined some webservices to which we connect to).
The reason why we use Business Services is that we don't have to define them in the SLD. And we understand from the documentation that external business systems should be defined as Business Services and not Business Systems.
Now we want to use the Integration Scenario Configurator, but when we define a B2B service in the Integation Scenario, we cannot create the communication channels with the wizard. Futhermore the other object (receiver determination etc.) is also not created for the business service.
When we take a look at the definition of a B2B scenario in the SAP documentation, the documentation describes a complete different use of B2B. We understand from the documentation that B2B is a cross company XI landscape where all partners have there own XI system. This also explains the behavure in the configurator since one party cannot access its own business systems.
This leaves us with the following questions:
1. Is B2B only possible for XI to XI scenario's?
2. Is a service provided by a partner a business system?
3. And do we have to include all communication end point in the SLD?
Kind regards,
Christiaan Schaake

Dear Christiaan,
I encountered the same problem. What I did was that I created a party for the external business partner and assigned a business service to it. Beside this you have to check the box (ext. party w. B2B comm) under communication type in the application component in the integration scenario.
When you have done this you can create comm. channel with the wizard and also the other objects.
see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e6/908d3f7057eb0ce10000000a114084/content.htm
Regarding your questions: depending on the way we think, we can come up with different answers. I don't think this is what you're looking for.
Maybe someone else can give you a clear answer.

Integration Scenario with Oracle SOA Suite and SAP

Hi to all
I have the following integration scenario:
The customer have some applications in the integration landscape. All of this applications are integrated with Oracle Soa Suite.
This customer, want to buy SAP ERP (ECC 6.0), and they want to integrate SAP ECC in their infrastructure.
I told to them, that is necesary have Process Integration (PI), by have a services oriented architecture.
But, I want to hear options, possibilities and comments. Where I find information related ?
Thank you very much
Dario

Hi Rodriguez ,
you can use Oracle AS Adapter for SAP for integrating SAP system to oracle .
some step you need to do in SAP ECC side for data transfer - like create TCP/IP RFC connection ,
for TCP/IP RFC config. you can generate program ID in Oracle AS Adapter ..Also Oracle provides a SAP JRFC library for integrating SAP system .
you can find more information in given link -

Difference between Process integration scenario and configuration scenario.

Hi,
Please tell me what is difference between Process integration scenarion and configuration scenarion in SAP PI.
Is Process integration scenario is BPM concept? also what is the advantages over configuration scenario.
Regards,
Manigandan

Hi Manigandan,
Speaking widely:
Process integration scenario: there is a ccBPM, like the workflow in ABAP, even when you one inside the PI it's generated a workflow in the ABAP stuck
Configuration scenario: it is object to link the integration directory and the esr/IR when you define the logic of your implementation. It isnt mandatory, but you can organize better you develoments if you make an scenario for a "real scenario" like a file to soap integration, you can define it like a configuration scenario.

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.

Doubt in Integration Scenario

Hi All,
I wuld like to know whether I can create a Integration Scenario after completing the Configuration steps (eventhough it doesnt make much sense)

Hi Aarthi,
Its not mandatory to create the integration scenario.
The integration Scenario in IR will be useful for re-presenting the whole flow of the interface.
If you do the itegration scenrio in Design time then you do not need to follow the stpes which is required in configuration like creating Aggrement,determination and all. you just need to import the scenario from integration repository that will avoid configure part.
Usually during the audit time the auditor checks whether IS is designed or not? as that is the good practive to design ur scenario with IS.
Companion Guide to Integration scenario
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2006/02/17/companion-guide-to-integration-scenario
It will be good loaction to get all the information about whole interface.
You could either create or transport the same Integration scenario in ID.
With the use of Integration scenario you could model the whole interface with all minute details
It comes under best practices. So if you create the IS it will be very easy for you to understand the and designe the business flow. Morevere becomes very easy while creating/configuring the Integration Directory, you just need to import the design objects form IR.
If you will not create IS, there is no harm. So it all depends upon client and also you.
Thanks,
Vijaya.

Transfer Integration Scenario from Integration Repository

Hello,
I am in the process of setting up a 2004s PI system. I have gone thru the PI template installer in the NWA, applied note 939592 due to a central SLD and I am not stepping through the readiness check from note 817920. I am using version 3 of the check. I am running into an error at step 2.7. This is the step to test the connectivity between the Integration Directory and the Integration Repository. When I press the F4-Help for the Field name, the search results returns "No objects found!". I checked all the connections in the exchange profile and they all seem to be set properly. I then went to menu Tools -> Configuration Wizard. I received a popup stating "Cannot connect to Repository". The details are the following:

I did see another message in the forum (Re: Integration scenarios from Integration Rep) that was very similar but the solution provided in there did not work for me.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks.

Scott

Yes, I checked everything under the "Connections" section to make sure port, host name, user and passwords were correct. From what I can see, it is all correct. I also checked under the IntegrationBuilder and IntegrationServer sections to make sure the port, host, user and passwords are correct. From what I could see, it was all correct.
Thanks.

Scott
