Message Interfaces in ABAP Dictionary?

Hi,
I have imported an IDOC from R/3 into my XI System. Does anybody know where the structure of my imported IDOC is saved? Will this Idoc be mapped to some Dictionary structures? Where is the structure of the IDOC saved in XI?
rg,
markus

The structure of the idoc will be saved in SWC->Imported objects->IDocs.

Interface Type "ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface" not generating Interac

Hi All,
I am getting problem in ABAP Adobe interactive forms in ECC6.
I tried designing Adobe interactive form by 2 following ways:
1) in SFP -->> Interface Type -->"ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface"
2) in SFP -->> Interface Type -->"XML Schema-Based Interface"
When I designed with 1st way I am not getting Interactive form, I get only read
only form when executing ABAP webdynpro application.
But same form giving interactive form when calling ABAP program.
But when I designed with 2nd(XML) way I am getting Interactive form. In Webdynpro application.
In both case i have kept view property as enabled.
Please guide me, Is there any step which is mandatory for Adobe interactive forms when
we use (SFP -->> Interface Type -->"ABAP Dictionary-Based Interface"), with ABAP webdynpro application.
Thanks

Customise table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the databas

Hi all,
I have encountered a problem where by, I was not able to activate a table due to inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database.
After I run the SE14--> Check Database object. It has show that there is a missing Unique Index(Primary Index) at the Database Level, but at ABAP Dictionary it is there.
I have try to recreate the primary index at the Database level, but failed. Because one of the primary key field is been dropped from this table.
So now, may I know how can I still make this table Active again?
Is it save to folllow the following solution that I found on internet?
Syntax error in SDCC, table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database, transport error 8 during the generation of ABAP Dictionary. When you call Transaction SDCC, a termination occurs due to a putative syntax error because a table is not known or active. When you check this with the ABAP dictionary (SE11), you notice, that the table is active or inactive, however it is not possible to activate it. The activation might terminate with the error message 'Inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and database'. A check of the affected object also delivers this error.
Solution
Proceed as follows:
Log on as user DDIC
Call Transaction SE14
Enter the affected table name and
select EDIT
In the following screen, choose Table -> Reconstruct
Confirm the execution
Call Transaction SE11
Enter the affected table name
Display
Activate
Thanks.

Message interface with two types of message types

Hi experts,
I am having problem that a proxy cannot be generated because of the (mixed) types of the message types that the interface is using.
The first message type is defined in the repository and another is defined as an external definition, imported in from an outside source.
Here is the SAP message I received when I tried to generate the proxy for this interface.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interface uses external and internal message definitions
Message no. SPRX122
Diagnosis
In a message interface you can use messages from different sources:
1. Message types and fault message types edited in the Integration Repository
2. Messages imported into the Integration Repository (external definitions, RFC, IDoc)
In the current message interface, message types from different sources have been used.
Since messages from these different sources must be handled differently during proxy generation, such a mixture of messages within a message interface is not possible.
System Response
The interface cannot be generated.
Procedure
Change the interface definition accordingly in the Integration Repository.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The imported xsd is quite large and also contain many large includes. I don't have the option of creating the message type manually.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
-michelle

Hi all,
I tried several things and the problem is still not resolved. This is what I learned.
First of all, I believed the SAP message about mixing of internal and external message is misleading or even wrong. I tried with both message types being external but I still get the same message that the interface has one internal and the other external message type.
Secondly, since Arvind suggested that I might have used an xml element that is not currently supported by ABAP proxy, I then change to another definition with the most simplest elements. I then attached this other definition to the interface and tried generating the proxy again. I still get the same system message that I am using mixing of message types in one interface.
My conclusion is XI still is not capable of generating ABAP proxy from external definition.
Does anyone have any comments/suggestion/experience on this issue?
Best regards,
-michelle

Message interface does not exist in any software components

Hi masters,
I'm having problems with this message in my repository when I try to create an Interface determination with two interfaces mapping: "Message interface does not exist in any software components installed on this business system".
note: I have read all the posts about this problem but nothing has solved it.
I will describe more or less how is my SLD.
First all, my Technical System is an Web AS ABAP (non a third party).
I have created two receivers determination, with out problems, then, created the interface determination, with two Inbound interface, BUT, when I create a condition, the message appears, and the XPath doesn't shows the nodes for do the condition..
I have checked the GUID, and that's good.
NOTE: I have a second SWC but this is a third party... and when I test to do the same in this system, I have NO problems... so.. what is wrong with the Web As ABAP?
Regards and thanks

did you mean:
SLD -> Technical System->Technical System Type: WebAsAbap-> Installed Products->Add New Product and add my Software Component???
if is this, I have already done this, and still doesn't works.
Thanks

Hello,
I created zsd_table and inserted few records
When i use this table in program system is giving error message "ZSD_TABLE is not defined in the ABAP dictionary as a table"
How can we define this table in ABAP dictionary?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to Transaction SE11
Give the table name 'ZSD_TABLE'
and click on create and enter the fileds
after entering fields give 'techinical setting' for a table by clicking on technical setting button on tool bar

Hi Experts
I tried to open VBFA in se16 and i got the message in the status bar like this , what does it mean. please explain.
"ABAP Dictionary type FLTP is not allowed for screen element"

Hi,
This is from help
ABAP Dictionary type FLTP is not allowed for screen element
Message no. 37048
Diagnosis
The format of the ABAP Dictionary field is only for use within the ABAP
program and cannot be used in the Screen Painter.
Procedure
The field cannot be used in screens. If you want to output the
information in the field or assign a value to the field from the screen,
you must use an intermediate field with an appropriate format.

Field in structure 'is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary'

Hi,
I have created an Infoset (SQ01) based on an external program and structure.
These two things are required.
However when I try to generate my Infoset I get an error message for each element in the structure I created in SE11.
The error is:
"<structure_name-field_name> is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary"
Each element in my structure gives this error yet I have defined this in SE11 as a structure and activated it.
These elements are included in my Infoset and as a field group in the infoset.
Has anyone come across this error before and knows how to resolve this problem?
Many Thanks
David

Hey,
I got the same prb.

Trigerring Outbound XI interfaces in ABAP

Hi,
I need to know about calling an outbound XI interface in ABAP. Can any body share some knowledge about this?
Thanks,
Kulwant

Kulwant,
>>>While i m trying to edit EXECUTE_ASYNCHRONOUS method of my class, it says "You Cannot Edit Proxy Objects". Is it the expected behaviour or some thing is wrong at my side
Yes. It is the expected behaviour. You can not edit a client(outbound) proxy. You need to have a report which will call this method and pass the reqd data.
P.S For server proxy, you can and need to edit the EXECUTE_ASYNCHRONOUS. Here you will write the code to retrive the data and process.
>>>In SXMB_MONI, i can see Sender Message but will there be any response message too? Because i cannot find such message
Since your interface is asynchronous, you will not have a respose msg.

HI ,
BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION
About Data Transfer In R/3 System
When a company decides to implement the SAP R/3 to manage business-critical data, it usually does not start from a no-data situation. Normally, a SAP R/3 project comes into replace or complement existing application.
In the process of replacing current applications and transferring application data, two situations might occur:
 The first is when application data to be replaced is transferred at once, and only once.
 The second situation is to transfer data periodically from external systems to SAP and vice versa.
 There is a period of time when information has to be transferred from existing application, to SAP R/3, and often this process will be repetitive.
The SAP system offers two primary methods for transferring data into SAP systems. From non-SAP systems or legacy system. These two methods are collectively called batch input or batch data communication.
1. SESSION METHOD
2. CALL TRANSACTION
3. DIRECT INPUT
Advantages offered by BATCH INPUT method:
1. Can process large data volumes in batch.
2. Can be planned and submitted in the background.
3. No manual interaction is required when data is transferred.
4. Data integrity is maintained as whatever data is transferred to the table is through transaction. Hence batch input data is submitted to all the checks and validations.
To implement one of the supported data transfers, you must often write the program that exports the data from your non-SAP system. This program, known as a data transfer program must map the data from the external system into the data structure required by the SAP batch input program.
The batch input program must build all of the input to execute the SAP transaction.
Two main steps are required:
 To build an internal table containing every screen and every field to be filled in during the execution of an SAP transaction.
 To pass the table to SAP for processing.
Prerequisite for Data Transfer Program
Writing a Data Transfer Program involves following prerequisites:
Analyzing data from local file
Analyzing transaction
Analyzing transaction involves following steps:
 The transaction code, if you do not already know it.
 Which fields require input i.e., mandatory.
 Which fields can you allow to default to standard values.
 The names, types, and lengths of the fields that are used by a transaction.
 Screen number and Name of module pool program behind a particular transaction.
To analyze a transaction::
 Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.
(You can determine the transaction name by choosing System Status.)
 Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.
 On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.
(dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)
 Display these by choosing System Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.
The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.
 For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.
Note the following information:
- The field name for batch input, which youll find in its own box.
- The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.
 Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).
Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.
In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.
You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.
Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing.
DATA TRANSFER program.
Declaring internal table
First Integral Table similar to structure like local file.
Declaring internal table like BDCDATA
The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.
The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. You can use the same structure for all types of batch input, regardless of whether you are creating a session in the batch input queue or using CALL TRANSACTION.
This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction. The typical processing loop in a program is as follows:
 Create a BDCDATA structure
 Write the structure out to a session or process it with CALL TRANSACTION USING; and then
 Create a BDCDATA structure for the next transaction that is to be processed.
Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.
The screen identifier record is followed by a separate BDCDATA record for each value, to be entered into a field. These records use the FNAM and FVAL fields of the BDCDATA structure. Values to be entered in a field can be any of the following:
 Data that is entered into screen fields.
 Function codes that are entered into the command field. Such function codes execute functions in a transaction, such as Save or Enter.
The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:
 PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.
 DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.
 DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to (blank) for all other records.)
 FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.
 FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.
Transferring data from local file to internal table
Data is uploaded to internal table by UPLOAD of WS_UPLOAD function.
Population of BDCDATA
For each record of internal table, you need to populate Internal table, which is similar to BDCDATA structure.
All these five initial steps are necessary for any type of BDC interface.
DATA TRANSFER program can call SESSION METHOD or CALL TRANSACTION. The initial steps for both the methods are same.
First step for both the methods is to upload the data to internal table. From Internal Table, the data is transferred to database table by two ways i.e., Session method and Call transaction.
SESSION METHOD
About Session method
In this method you transfer data from internal table to database table through sessions.
In this method, an ABAP/4 program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores the data in session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data using normal SAP transaction i.e., Data is transferred to session which in turn transfers data to database table.
Session is intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session i.e., data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, the program name behind it, and how the next screen is processed.
When the program has finished generating the session, you can run the session to execute the SAP transactions in it. You can either explicitly start and monitor a session or have the session run in the background processing system.
Unless session is processed, the data is not transferred to database table.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
You create the session through program by BDC_OPEN_GROUP function.
Parameters to this function are:
 User Name: User name
 Group: Name of the session
 Lock Date: The date on which you want to process the session.
 Keep: This parameter is passed as X when you want to retain session after
 processing it or to delete it after processing.
BDC_INSERT
This function creates the session & data is transferred to Session.
Parameters to this function are:
 Tcode: Transaction Name
 Dynprotab: BDC Data
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
This function closes the BDC Group. No Parameters.
Some additional information for session processing
When the session is generated using the KEEP option within the BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the system always keeps the sessions in the queue, whether it has been processed successfully or not.
However, if the session is processed, you have to delete it manually. When session processing is completed successfully while KEEP option was not set, it will be removed automatically from the session queue. Log is not removed for that session.
If the batch-input session is terminated with errors, then it appears in the list of INCORRECT session and it can be processed again. To correct incorrect session, you can analyze the session. The Analysis function allows to determine which screen and value has produced the error. If you find small errors in data, you can correct them interactively, otherwise you need to modify batch input program, which has generated the session or many times even the data file.
CALL TRANSACTION
About CALL TRANSACTION
A technique similar to SESSION method, while batch input is a two-step procedure, Call Transaction does both steps online, one after the other. In this method, you call a transaction from your program by
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
 Mode <A/N/E>
 Update <S/A>
 Messages into <MSGTAB>.
Parameter 1 is transaction code.
Parameter 2 is name of BDCTAB table.
Parameter 3 here you are specifying mode in which you execute transaction
 A is all screen mode. All the screen of transaction are displayed.
 N is no screen mode. No screen is displayed when you execute the transaction.
 E is error screen. Only those screens are displayed wherein you have error record.
Parameter 4 here you are specifying update type by which database table is updated.
 S is for Synchronous update in which if you change data of one table then all the related Tables gets updated. And sy-subrc is returned i.e., sy-subrc is returned for once and all.
 A is for Asynchronous update. When you change data of one table, the sy-subrc is returned. And then updating of other affected tables takes place. So if system fails to update other tables, still sy-subrc returned is 0 (i.e., when first table gets updated).
Parameter 5 when you update database table, operation is either successful or unsuccessful or operation is successful with some warning. These messages are stored in internal table, which you specify along with MESSAGE statement. This internal table should be declared like BDCMSGCOLL, a structure available in ABAP/4. It contains the following fields:
 1. Tcode: Transaction code
 2. Dyname: Batch point module name
 3. Dynumb: Batch input Dyn number
 4. Msgtyp: Batch input message type (A/E/W/I/S)
 5. Msgspra: Batch input Lang, id of message
 6. Msgid: Message id
 7. MsgvN: Message variables (N = 1 - 4)
For each entry, which is updated in database, table message is available in BDCMSGCOLL. As BDCMSGCOLL is structure, you need to declare a internal table which can contain multiple records (unlike structure).
Steps for CALL TRANSACTION method
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
4. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
 Mode <A/N/E>
 Update <S/A>.
Refresh BDCTAB.
Endloop.
(To populate BDCTAB, You need to transfer each and every field)
The major differences between Session method and Call transaction are as follows:
 SESSION METHOD CALL TRANSACTION
1. Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed. Immediate updation in database table.
2. No sy-subrc is returned. Sy-subrc is returned.
3. Error log is created for error records. Errors need to be handled explicitly
4. Updation in database table is always synchronous Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.
Error Handling in CALL TRANSACTION
When Session Method updates the records in database table, error records are stored in the log file. In Call transaction there is no such log file available and error record is lost unless handled. Usually you need to give report of all the error records i.e., records which are not inserted or updated in the database table. This can be done by the following method:
Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. Internal table BDCMSG like BDCMSGCOLL
4. Internal table similar to Ist internal table
 (Third and fourth steps are for error handling)
5. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from the local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
6. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tr.code> using <Bdctab>
 Mode <A/N/E>
 Update <S/A>
 Messages <BDCMSG>.
 Perform check.
 Refresh BDCTAB.
 Endloop.
7 Form check.
IF sy-subrc <> 0. (Call transaction returns the sy-subrc if updating is not successful).
Call function Format_message.
(This function is called to store the message given by system and to display it along with record)
Append itab2.
Display the record and message.

Hi Avinash,
two comments on this:
This is not an issue, as this text is NOT an error message.
(An error message lists the "E" as second character,
but the screenshot above shows a space as second character.)
The log handling for this phase will be adapted in SUM SP13, so that non-errors are not listed at this point, to avoid this confusion.
SUM 1.0 SP12 PL 1 to PL 3 must not be used any longer, see SAP Note 2122247.
