Internal/External Action in Integration Scenario

Hi,
What is the simple logic of defining an Action Internal/External in an integration scenario.
For Instance, A Web application "A" is accessing "PS-EPS"(SAP) system to check the existense of Network.
What will be the type of Usage at both ends. Why?
Thanks,
Debashish Sarkar

Action in Integration Scenario

Hi
I have a doubt regarding " Actions" in Integration Scenario in IR. I have an interface which is actually a clubbed one, there are two interfaces together and there are two sender interfaces and two receiver interfaces.
So how many should I create in Actions ? Should there be four actions ?

Actions in Integration Scenario

Dear all,
1. Can anyone tell the difference between Internal action and External action with respect to products and SWCV?
2. What is the Template option you find when you insert an application component?
Expecting your valid replies; if possible please send some documents or examples.
Thanks,
Harikumar. S

HI Harikumar,
Actions divide up the process flow of a business scenario. Actions in different application components can exchange messages with each other within a business scenario.
Internal Action
You can use internal actions in application components (of type Product Version or Main Instance) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the action is implemented.
External Action
You can use external actions in application components (of type Template or Product Version) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the integration scenario is implemented.
If you want to use an action to represent a function that is already installed in the product of the application component, use an internal action.
If you want to use an action to represent a function that is not yet provided by the product of the application component, use an external action.
In this way, you can enter functions in the integration scenario (for example, for communication parties) that are not yet provided by the product version of the application component.
All interfaces associated with an action are assigned to that action in the Integration Builder.
The exchange of messages between components takes places between two actions from different application components. The interfaces used in the exchange of messages are assigned to the two actions involved.
Cheers...

Integration Scenarios & Integration Processes

Can somebody please explain me what are the "Actions" and "Integration Scenarios" for in Integration Scenarios & Integration Processes? I understand that " Integration Processes" is for creating BPM processes.

HI Vijay
Please see the below links.
For Actions :
An action represents a function within an application component that is not subdivided further. Actions subdivide the process flow of an integration scenario
Internal Actions : Defined for a separate software component version.
You can use internal actions in application components (of type Product Version or Main Instance) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the action is implemented.
External Actions : Defined for a software component version of a partner or for templates.You can use external actions in application components (of type Template or Product Version) that (by using the product version) contain the same software component version in which the integration scenario is implemented.

For Integration Scenario :
An integration scenario completely models the exchange of messages for a collaborative process and provides an overview of the process flow. The integration scenario provides you with a central point of access for all objects that you require for semantic and technical integration

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.
Regards,
Vijaya Lakshmi

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.

Unable to insert internal actions in process integration scenario

Hi, experts!
Can anybody please help me insert an action in my process integration scenario? I have created and activated actions that are internal (for own SWCV type of usage) but when I try to insert them in the scenario, I can only choose actions that have action class = external for that SWCV. Any idea what keeps the internal actions from appearing? Thanks in advance.

but when I try to insert them in the scenario, I can only choose actions that have action class = external for that SWCV

Use of Integration Scenario & Actions??????

Can body tell me the use of Integration Scenario & actions in Integration repository?

In simple terms...
Integration Scenario represents one view of your complete integration scenario.
It includes all the components like business system, interfaces, business process etc.
You can import the same Integration scenario designed in IR to ID and use it for configuration purpose. No need to define all objects separately. ALL under one roof.
1. Integration Scenarios are definitely not just for documentation. With them, you avoid having to create the Configuration Objects manually (or even interface by interface, using wizard); you just run the scenario configurator, relate each application component to a business service/system/integration scenario, create/refer necessary Communication Channels and that's it;
.2. Of course you can use business services in Integration Scenario Configurator, but only for B2B communications. Hence, your application component must be set with "external" flag (same for action);
3. You don't "import" BPM from IS into ID. You just refer to the Integration Process as a service, meaning, the only information you have about IP in Integration Directory is its interfaces, inbound or outbound (output or input ones; actually they are all abstract);
Finally, for the actual question: an action reflects an execution within the integration scope, meaning, a system triggering an access to other system(s). In XI's scope, that execution means one interface, and that's exactly the information that goes into the action: the interface, its type (message interface, imported RFC/IDoc etc), whether it refers to an internal (reflecting an A2A scenario) or an external (reflecting a B2B scenario) system and whether it's an outgoing or incoming message (outbound or inbound, in the point of view of the application systems).

Doubt in Integration Scenario Creation

Hi All,
My scenario is file to Idoc.Need to create a Integration Scenario. I have stored all the Interface and Mapping objects in teh same Software Component Version (say SWCA). So in Integration Scenario, What will be the Sender and Receiver Software Components. Will SWCA act as both Sender and Receiver or I need ot select SAPR3 for Receiver System.
And will teh actions be external or internal?

Hi,
the SCV is just a compnenet where you will design all the objects, under Integration scenario you will assign the sender and receiver communciation points in integration directory.
Actions are indicating as the triggering points for sender and receiver interface. If you will be using outside the SCV then it will external and for internal purpose have to select as internal
Please refer step by step process for IODC to file as well as file to IDOC

To SAP-XI Product Developement... Bug in Integration Scenario, swimlanes..?

Hi,
I am not sure whether such questions can be posted in this forum or not.. but i have no other alternative. If this is not the right forum i will not post such queries again.
I have posted a query reg "Integration Scenario, swimlane diagrams" in XI Forum, but there were no replies to that. So i like to forward the same to the Product Develpment team and like to know if this is a bug or things do work like this..?
I have designed my Integration Scenario in Design Time, imported the same into configuraton time so that the Configuration Objects (Receiver Determination, Interface Determinaiton, Receiver agreements) are automatically created. I tried the sacenario and its working fine.
In my scenario, i have 3 swimlanes corresponding systems, Sys1, sys2, sys3.
In Run1, a connection is made b/n sys1's and sys2's actions. Imported into Configuration, Configuration objects created,(Rx Determination Created) scenario working properly.
In Run2, another connection is made b/n sys1 and sys3's actions (sys1 and sys2 still remain connected). Imported into Configuration, receiver determinaition changed according to the scenario, scenario working properly.
In Run3, the connection b/n sys1 and sys2 is removed and again imported into configuration, but the receiver determination is not changed to cater to the scenario in design time. The old receiver determinaiton is not getting deleted/chaged). The receiver deteminaiton reused instead of being changed, which is incorrect according to the scenario.
Is this a bug in the software or do things work like this only... U can reach me at Siva_Maranani(at)satyam(dot)com
Cheers,
Siva Maranani.

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

Error in Integration Scenario: No software Component version exists

Hi Experts,
We have external product and software component like Product "Project Management" we have imported the CIM content for it
Now when we create an Application Component for the same in Integration Scenario in ESR (PI7.1)
while trying to do right click --> Edit Action it gives Error
"" No imported software component version exists for product"
Also note that it allows us to Add new Action there
that is we can right click --> Add action
Kindly help with your suggestions to resolve this << Moderator message - Everyone's problem is important >>.

Configuring Process Integration Scenario

Hi,
I have created a Process Integration Scenario in ESR and trying to create ID objects.
I am referring this blog: /people/shailesh.mane/blog/2006/06/29/b2b-configuration-part-ii--creating-the-configuration-using-the-automated-configuration-tool
I am confused while running the wizard.
1) Can anyone please confirm what objects should I create in ID before running the wizard
I have a External Party --> SAP PI -> IDOC scenario (with multiple actions inbetween). I am using PI7.1.1
Thank you,
Pankaj.

Hi Pankaj ,
While you design your process integration scenario . while you do insert application component for sender and receiver
Have you checked the tab " Communication tab --" External party with B2B communication."
I am not sure but this is your problem I guess ,
Please have a look at the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/ce988318d3424be10000000a421937/frameset.htm
Since you are using IDocs , you cannot use integrated configurations( not sure whetehr its supported in your Service pack version ) hence no use of "sender uses virtual receiver "

You can use sender uses a virtual receiver while creation of sender agreement then you need not make separete receiver determination and interface determination , in case of B2B scenarios try that option as well
let me know if it works or not

Unable to Load the Integration scenario into the Integration directory

Hi All,
I am new to using SAP XI.
Require your help on the following issue.
I have built an Integration scenario, added Component Type: Product Version, inserted actions and connections.
I did check for any errors. I found no errors.
When I am trying to load this scenario into the Integration directory its not showing up the scenario in the popup.
Navigation:
Directory > tools> Transfer scenario from repository
The status of Integration Scenario in the builder shows as
"Being processed".
I created the scenario 2 days back.
Can some one help me in this?
Regards,
Meher

Hi All,
Thanks to all who helped me.
michal,divija : Can you please let me know in details how to activate Business Scenario?
I did not create any business process.
Sridhar: I did releases some locks on my process, no luck.
Can you please explain me in more details?
Should I have a process build for my Integration scenario to be activated?

XI Integration scenario for material replication from SRM to SRM-MDM

Hi Guys,
We are working with the following landscape:
SRM Server 5.5
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 5.5 SP6
PI 2005_1_700 SP0006
I have a question for you about replication of the material master form SRM EBP to SRM-MDM.
In XI we are trying to configure this scenario. For this we have imported the following XI Content:
- SAP SRM Server 5.5
- SAP SRM-MDM 2.0
We have the following problem; that when tring to configure the this scenario we are getting GUID errors. Probable because some XI content is missing. In the SRM-MDM 2.0 XI content we also see that SRM 6.0 scenario's are avilable in the currenlty imported XI content, but when clicking on 'Edit action' in these scenario's we are getting the following error:
"Software component version with GUID XXXXXXXXXX... does not exists"
Can any one tell me why SRM 6.0 scenario's are availble in the XI content for SRM-MDM 2.0, and which additional XI content we need to import to get rid of these GUID error's?
Becasue of this the configuration in the Integration Directory fails.Transfering the integration scenario to the Integration directory gives a couple of errors: "Unable to load action. Check whether all necessary actions have been released in the integration repository".
Hopefully some of you know what to do, because I am currenlty stuck....... Do we need to import additional XI content, or maybe the Xi content for SRM 6.0. If so where can I get the XI content for SRM 6.0. It is not available on the SAP Support portal as a download.
Thx In advance.
Regards,
Wouter

Hi,
