Monitoring ALE/IDOC

Hi to all,
Can anybody please tell me some examples on  monitoring ALE/IDOC.
Thanks in advance.

You can easily and effectively monitor inbound and outbound processing of IDocs using special reports and graphic displays. An agent can also be notified automatically using a workflow if an “emergency” occurs (active monitoring).
The following tools are available for monitoring:
·        IDoc Display
All the other fields of the control record are available as selection criteria as well as partners and messages
-   IDoc numbers
-   Ports
-   IDoc types
You can display a tree structure of the IDoc directly using the IDoc number. The IDoc list is displayed again if several IDocs are selected.
·        IDoc Statistics
The IDocs are sorted and represented graphically according to predefined status groups. Lists and individual IDocs can be displayed using mouse clicks.
·        IDoc Search
You can select IDocs according to their business content, that is, according to the data contained in the segments.
·         Error and Status Processing
Error and status codes are defined for the IDoc transfer. These codes can be assigned to a workflow task, which informs the agent automatically in a procedure.
The final section explains Active Monitoring.
If you receive IDocs by qRFC, this function can monitor the inbound queue and react to any errors which occur.
Prerequisites
You post inbound IDocs with qRFC.
Features
This monitoring function displays the elements in the inbound queue:
·         Display sender
·         Selected queues
·         IDoc number
·         IDoc status
·         Link to IDoc display
You can make the following changes to a queue:
·         Flag IDocs for deletion
·         Delete IDocs from the queue
·         Start a queue
Activities
Choose Tools  ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Monitoring ® Troubleshooting ® Monitor IDoc Inbound Queue (transaction WEINQUEUE), to go to the inbound queue monitoring.
Select the IDocs or queues which you want to monitor, using the specified selection parameters.
If an IDoc in a queue has an error status, select it and go to its detail view with the Display IDoc button, to determine the cause of the error, and resolve it.
If you cannot correct an IDoc with error status, you can delete it from the queue with the Delete IDoc from Queue button.
To edit a queue, select the queue name and choose Start Queue.
If you send IDocs by qRFC, this function can monitor the outbound queue and react to any errors which occur.
Prerequisites
You send IDocs with qRFC.
Features
This monitoring function displays the elements in the outbound queue:
·         Recipient port
·         Selected queues
·         IDoc number
·         Link to IDoc display
You can make the following changes to a queue:
·         Flag IDocs for deletion
·         Delete IDocs from the queue
·         Start a queue
Activities
Choose Tools  ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Administration ® Monitoring ® Troubleshooting ® Monitor IDoc Outbound Queue (transaction WEOUTQUEUE), to go to the outbound queue monitoring.
Select the IDocs or queues which you want to monitor, using the specified selection parameters.
If queue problems occurred in transmission, you can select IDocs and go to their detail view with the Display IDoc button, to determine their status.
You can remove IDocs from the queue with the Delete IDoc from Queue button.
To send a queue, select the queue name and choose Start Queue.
In the IDoc Administration, you can assign a procedure to a workflow task error or status code.  
With the Error and Status Processing function, you can check the assignment of the error procedure codes tothe standardtasks, if you have used EDI communication in an earlierversion.
You must also maintain this assignment for your user developments.
Example
Code  Type  ID                    Description
EDIX   2     TS0008070        ALE/EDI: Syntax error (Outgoing)
Activities
Check whether the assignment matches the table listed below.
1. Choose SAP Menu -> Tools -> IDoc Interface/ALE -> Administration -> Runtime Settings -> Error and Status Processing (transaction WE46).
2. Perform the function. The table must contain the ALE error handling entries listed below:
Code
Task
Description
Type
EDII
TS00008068
ErrorProcInb
2
EDIO
TS00007989
ErrorMessage

EDIX
TS00008070
SynErrorOut
2
EDIY
TS00008074
SynErrorInb
2
EDIM
TS00007988
ErrorMessage
2
The table contains the assignment of the error procedure codes (e.g. EDII) forstandardtasks (e.g. TS00008068).
The procedure type is 2 (work item).
Notes
If you used EDI in an earlier version, standard tasks ofthe old versions are still assigned here for the procedure codes EDII and EDIO. If the new tasks are not entered here, there may be ALE Processing problems.
This report automatically informs the agents responsible if too many incorrect IDocs are found.
Integration
Active monitoring is not used for processing or reimporting of an incorrect IDoc. Exception handling of every incorrect IDoc is responsible for this.
Activities
You plan the report to run regularly with a variant. The variant also informs the report of the status values to be selected: If the critical status contains more IDocs than specified in the critical number of IDocs, a message is sent to a predefined recipient.
The recipient receives the notification in the form of a work item displayed in their Business Workplace. If they execute the work item, the IDoc statistics are displayed with the values determined at the time of evaluation. The agent can display the current status of these IDocs using the Refresh function. The selection criteria which led to the notification are also used for this evaluation.
An important customer orders goods using EDI on working days, between 8am and 6pm. These goods are to be delivered at 4pm the next day. To ensure that the delivery is made on time, the ordered quantity must be recorded by midday on the day of delivery. The active monitoring function is to be used at 8am every morning to determine whether there are any orders which could not be processed automatically. The report, therefore, is started at the same time every day and 0 is selected as the critical number of IDocs. The agent responsible is notified if any incorrect IDocs are found and can then manually process the outstanding orders by midday.
For more information see
Schedule Monitoring Job (example)
Schedule Monitoring Job (Example)
Prerequisites
The following refers to the example in the section Active monitoring . The active monitoring report is to be started as a background job every morning at 8am, to evaluate the IDocs which were received between 8am and 6pm on the previous day.
Procedure
Enter the RSEIDOCA report in the BAP Editor, select Variants, and choose  Display.
Give your variant a name and choose  Create.
Enter the following parameters:
Recipient type: US (user)
Recipient of notification, for example SMITH
Start time or End time before batch run: 1 Day and 0 Days 14:00:00h
Critical number of IDocs: 0
Status: 51 , 56 and 64
Logical message type: ORDERS
Partner parameter (here sender):
Choose  Continue to enter a short text for your variant. Save your entries.
To schedule your job as a background job, choose System ® Services ® Jobs ® Job Definition and enter B (medium priority for periodic jobs) as the job class.
Select  Start condition and enter a date and 08:00 as the start time.
Choose Execute job periodically.
Choose Period values ® Daily and save your entries.
Enter the scheduled report again when saving (RSEIDOCA) and the variant that you maintained.
Result
IDocs selected during the daily run of the background job will now be:
Those which were received between 8 am and 6 pm on the previous day
Those which have the logical message type ORDERS
Those received from the relevant customer
An IDoc from status 51 , 56 or 64 must be assigned now to ensure that a notification is sent to the user SMITH.

  • What is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

    what is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?

    Hi Srinu ,
    IDoc Serialization means, sending/posting the idocs in sequence.
    We serialize IDocs in the following cases:
    · If you want the Integration Server to process the corresponding IDoc XML messages in the same sequence that it receives them from the IDoc adapter at the inbound channel.
    · If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that the IDoc adapter sends them at the Integration Server outbound channel.
    The sequence at the Integration Server inbound or outbound channel can only be guaranteed if only IDocs are processed, and not if different protocols (for example, IDocs and proxies) are processed together.
    Do not confuse IDoc serialization using the IDoc adapter with the ALE serialization of IDocs.
    Prerequisites
    · The quality of service EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) must be specified in the message header.
    · The receiver system or the sender system must be based on SAP Web Application Server 6.40 or higher. If this is not the case, the quality of service is automatically changed to EO for compatibility reasons and the message is processed accordingly.
    Procedure
    If you want the Integration Server to process the IDoc XML messages created by the IDoc adapter in the same sequence that the IDocs are sent by your application, proceed as follows:
    · Enter a queue name in your application. You can use 16 alphanumeric characters. The prefix SAP_ALE_ is then added.
    The IDoc adapter checks the prefix and replaces it with the prefix of the corresponding Integration Server inbound queue (for example, XBQI0000).
    If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that they are sent by the Integration Server using the IDoc adapter, proceed as follows:
    · In the communication channel, select the check box Queue processing for the receiver.
    The IDoc adapter replaces the prefix of the outbound queue (XBQO) with the prefix SAP_ALE_.
    You can display the individual messages in the qRFC monitor of the outbound queue. To do this, do one of the following:
    ¡ Use the queue ID in the list of displayed messages in the monitor for processed XML messages.
    ¡ Use the transaction ID in the list of displayed XML messages in the IDoc adapter.
    ¡ Call the transaction qRFC Monitor (Outbound Queue)(SMQ1).
    To navigate directly to the display of messages in the IDoc adapter, double click the transaction ID of a message in the outbound queue.
    To do this, you must have registered the display program IDX_SHOW_MESSAGE for the outbound queue in the qRFC administration (transaction SMQE) beforehand.
    In both cases, the function module IDOC_INBOUND_IN_QUEUE is called, which enables EOIO processing of the messages. The processing sequence is determined by the sequence of the function module calls.
    Unlike the other function modules (interface versions from the communication channel), with this function module you have to transfer segment types rather than segment names in the data records.
    Serialization of Messages
    Use
    Serialization plays an important role in distributing interdependent objects, especially when master data is being distributed.
    IDocs can be created, sent and posted in a specified order by distributing message types serially.
    Errors can then be avoided when processing inbound IDocs.
    Interdependent messages can be serially distributed in the following ways:
    Serialization by Object Type
    Serialization by Message Type
    Serialization at IDoc Level
    (not for IDocs from generated BAPI-ALE interfaces)
    Serialization at IDoc Level
    Use
    Delays in transferring IDocs may result in an IDoc containing data belonging to a specific object arriving at its destination before an "older" IDoc that contains different data belonging to the same object. Applications can use the ALE Serialization API to specify the order IDocs of the same message type are processed in and to prevent old IDocs from being posted if processing is repeated.
    SAP recommends that you regularly schedule program RBDSRCLR to clean up table BDSER (old time stamp).
    Prerequisites
    IDocs generated by BAPI interfaces cannot be serialized at IDoc level because the function module for inbound processing does not use the ALE Serialization API.
    Features
    ALE provides two function modules to serialize IDocs which the posting function module has to invoke:
    · IDOC_SERIALIZATION_CHECK
    checks the time stamps in the serialization field of the IDoc header.
    · IDOC_SERIAL_POST
    updates the serialization table.

    idoc:
    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.

    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
    Create Message Type ( WE81 )
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release
    Follow steps to create more number of segments
    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter

    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
    1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
    2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    The two available process for IDOCs are
    Outbound Process
    Inbound Process
    AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extended IDOCs
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    Try this..Hope this will help.
    SAP ALE & IDOC<<<<
    Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
    1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
    2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
    3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
    4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
    5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
    6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
    The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
    • Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
    • Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
    • Generate outbound partner profiles;
    • Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
    • Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
    Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
    1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
    2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
    3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
    4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
    5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
    6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)
    Important Transaction Codes:
    SALE - IMG ALE Configuration root
    WE20 - Manually maintain partner profiles
    BD64 - Maintain customer distribution model
    BD71 - Distribute customer distribution model
    SM59 - Create RFC Destinations
    BDM5 - Consistency check (Transaction scenarios)

    BD56 - Maintain IDOC Segment Filters
    BD53 - Reduction of Message Types
    BD21 - Select Change Pointer
    BD87 - Status Monitor for ALE Messages
    BDM5 - Consistency check (Transaction scenarios)
    BD62 - Define rules
    BD79 - Maintain rules
    BD55 - Defining settings for IDoc conversion
    WEDI - ALE IDoc Administration
    WE21 - Ports in Idoc processing
    WE60 - IDoc documentation
    SARA - IDoc archiving (Object type IDOC)

    BDM2 - IDoc Trace
    BDM7 - IDoc Audit Analysis
    BD21 - Create IDocs from change pointers
    SM58 - Schedule RFC Failures
    Basic config for Distributed data:
    BD64: Maintain a Distributed Model
    BD82: Generate Partner Profile
    BD64: Distribute the distribution Model
    Programs

    i got  recruitment for transfering the BOM( bill of material) and purchase order and purchase requisitions through IDOC"s using ABAP program???????
    how we can transfer the those data using IDOC's.
    problem here is creation of IDOC and in the sending that data?????
    Can any body help me??????
    is it possible for sending any type of data with IDOC and am facing the problem in search of transactions for sending data. using IDOC. if possible even give the transaction code for sending MM, SD and Fi data.
    suitable answer rewarded with maximum points???????

    Hi Ajay,
    Any question related to ALE Idocs should be posted in the Data Transfers section. Not here.
    People who are experts in that topic would be monitoring the posts over there. Not here.
    Also, Your subject should be appropriate and meaningful so that it drags the attention of the forum members to answer you.
    Coming to your question, I think when you are defining the clients you cant maintain the same value for the two clients. You need to connect the systems of different clients and so the configuration done in SALE transaction.
    Thanks,

    Application Linking and Enabling (ALE)
    In this document you will learn the step-by-step procedure to setup the ALE system and go through a transaction between two clients
    For our purpose we have two clients
    namely Client 100 and Client 200.
    System name is SAPKDC (FOR BOTH 100 AND 200 CLIENTS).
    Distribution of Material Master Data Between two Systems
    1) SETUP LOGICAL SYSTEM: (Note: Do Not Create This Step)

  • Get Message when ALE Idoc-Import cancelled

    Hello,
    I would like to get informed, when our regularly ALE Idoc-Import has cancelled. Today we receive Idocs from an SAP R/3 of our parent company over night within actual currency. Sometimes the Import by ALE Idocs has cancelled for example if there are some currency-codes are missing in target-system BW. We only have a chance get informed about the import-status by using TC BD87 and have a look into the status monitor. Alternative we can have a look by TC CCMS.
    Does anybody has an idea how to design automatically a message into SAP workplace or something like this (in best case getting in E-Mail), if the import has cancelled? In other cases we could design this workaround if a BI process-chain-job has cancelled. But this workaround has been designed by external consultant and are not here any more.
    Maybe anyone at this place has an idea...
    Best regards
    Daniel

    What version of iPhoto are you using and from where (and how) are you trying to import the photos? 
    As a first fix attempt try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and  see if you get the same message.  If you don't then the problem lies with your current library.

  • ALE/IDOC procedure

    Hi exports,
    can u just brief me the whole procedure of ALE/IDOC(inbound & outbound), with all transactions and an example.

    Hai.
    check this.
    ale steps:
    Application Linking and Enabling (ALE)
    In this document you will learn the step-by-step procedure to setup the ALE system and go through a transaction between two clients
    For our purpose we have two clients
    namely Client 100 and Client 200.
    System name is SAPKDC (FOR BOTH 100 AND 200 CLIENTS).
    Distribution of Material Master Data Between two Systems
    1) SETUP LOGICAL SYSTEM: (Note: Do Not Create This Step)

    idoc:
    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.

    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
    Create Message Type ( WE81 )
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release
    Follow steps to create more number of segments
    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type
    Fill details
    Save it and go back
    Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
    Go to transaction code WE82
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter.
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
    Fill details
    Save it and go back

    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
    1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
    2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    The two available process for IDOCs are
    Outbound Process
    Inbound Process
    AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extended IDOCs
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    Try this..Hope this will help.
    >>>> SAP ALE & IDOC<<<<
    Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
    1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
    2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
    3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
    4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
    5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
    6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
    The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
    • Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
    • Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
    • Generate outbound partner profiles;
    • Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
    • Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
    Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
    1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
    2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
    3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
    4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
    5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
    6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)
    Important Transaction Codes:
    SALE - IMG ALE Configuration root
    WE20 - Manually maintain partner profiles

    idoc:
    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.

    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
    Create Message Type ( WE81 )
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release

    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type
    Fill details
    Save it and go back
    Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
    Go to transaction code WE82
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter.
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type.

    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
    1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
    2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    The two available process for IDOCs are
    Outbound Process
    Inbound Process
    AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extended IDOCs
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    Try this..Hope this will help.
    >>>> SAP ALE & IDOC<<<<
    Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
    1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
    2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers

    EDI:
    Electronic Data Interchange
    Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

    EDI FLOW :
    Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
    Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
    What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
    Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
    How does EDI get started?
    EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
    What is the flow of EDI?
    The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

    There are two processes in IDOC processing one is INBOUND PROCESS( IDOC coming to the system and its handling at various stages) and the other is OUTBOUND PROCESS( IDOC is send to other system . Separate ABAP programs are written for these 2 processes and different configuration settings are required for each one .Depending upon the trigeering mechanism different programming approaches are used.OUTBOUND PROGRAMS handle the IDOC creation and INBOUND PROGRAMS handle the inbound IDOC and the data trasfer from the IDOC to the database tables.
    NEED FOR ABAP PROGRAMMING arises if
    1)New IDOC was created
    Depending upon the triggering mechanism i.e change pointer,message control
    etc the programming technique changes and the type of process.
    2)Existing IDOC was extended
    User Exits are used to populate data in new segments added and to read them
    back.
    3)To enhance an exsiting process.
    User Exits are used .
    Basic structure of an OUTBOUND PROGRAM
    The basic structure of all outbound programs is same. The CONTROL
    record which is of TYPE EDIDC has to be filled. It contains important fields like
    IDOCTP IDOC type
    MESTYP Message Type
    RCVPRN Recieving Partner (Destination)
    RCVPRT Partner Type (it is LS i.e Logical System)
    The DATA RECORD internal table which is of TYPE EDIDD has to be filled
    in the same order as there are segments in the IDOC definition.
    It has 2 important fields which are to be filled ,these are
    SEGNAM Name of the segment
    SEGDATA Data in the segment and can be upto 1000 bytes.This field
    is corresponds to each data segment in the IDOC.
    e.g.
    DATA INT_EDIDD LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA W_SEGDATA LIKE zsegment "custom segment zsegment
    INT_EDIDD-SEGNAM = 'ZSEGMENT'
    W_SEGDATA-field1 = value "taken from some table
    W_SEGDATA-field2 = value "taken from some table
    INT_EDIDD-SEGDATA = W_SEGDATA
    APPEND INT_EDIDD
    This will fill the data record corresponding to the segment ZSEGMENT . For all
    segments the sam steps will be repeated until all the data corresponding to all the
    segments in the idoc is filled in the internal table of type EDIDD.
    There is only one control record and can be multile data records in the idoc
    structure.
    Which data is to be extracted from the tables to be filled in EDIDD type internal table is determined in standalone programs from the objects which are specified in the selection screen and from the object key passed to the function module in case of message control and is taken from BDCP table in case of change pointers using function modules "CHANGE_POINTERS_READ"
    In case of stand alone programs and function modules based on change pointers method the function module "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE" is used to send the IDOC to ALE layer for distribution ,in case of message control it is handled automatically by the RSNASTED program invoked by the message control.
    OUTBOUND PROCESS AND OUTBOUND PROGRAM.
    Outbound programs are used in outbound process to genearte IDOCs . There
    purpose is to extract the data from the tables and to fill the IDOC data records
    and the control record in the IDOC and pass ito the ALE layer for distribution to the recieving system .
    Depending upon the triggering mechanism (how and when the outbound program will be started different techniques and interface is used for outbound program.
    1)Message control
    Application like PO(purchase order) creation use this technique , where the output type is linked to the application(Message control is a configurable cross application component which can be set in IMG .Such programs are created in the form of function modules and linked to the output type which is linked to the apllication.These have predefined interfaces.
    In outbound programs(function module) that use message control the key of the
    application document is passed to the function module whcig will read the data from the table depending upon the key passed(NAST structure) and fill the IDOC segemnts with the application data.The control record is also passed to the function module but is not fully filled, the rmaining fields are filled and the control is passed back to the calling program which is RSNASTED and is invoked by the
    message control to process ALE and EDI output types and this program on recieving the IDOC data will create the physical IDOC in the system.
    The parameteers passed to the function module are
    IMPORTING PARAMETERS
    OBJECT LIKE NAST
    It contains documents key.
    CONTROL_RECORD_IN LIKE EDIDC
    It contains the partailly filled control record
    EXPORETING PARAMETER
    OBJECT_TYPE
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT LIKE EDIDC
    TABLES
    INT_EDID LIKE EDIDD
    The internal table used to fill the data records in the same order as they exists in the IDOC.
    The important parameters that should be filled in the custom function module are
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT and INT_EDIDD .The OBJK field of the structue NAST contains the key of the apllication document.
    2)Stand alone programs
    Generally used for Master Data transfer and as such depending upon the requirement can have different interfaces.The programs have a selection screen which has select options to select the objects, and parameters for specifying the recipient Logical System and the Message Type.
    Data is selected based on the specified objects from the tables . and control record of type EDIDC is created and filled with important values like DIRECTION ,IDOCTP,RCVPRT,RCVPRN and MESTYP .
    Data is filled in an internal table of TYPE EDIDD according to segment definitions
    and in same order and the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called passing the control record and the internal table containg IDOC data and importing an internal table consisting of control records for each communication IDOCS created.
    3)Change pointer
    Change Pointer table is read and checked if changes were made to important fields , if so the outbound program will be triggered automatically , these have predefined interfaces
    ALE/IDOC Transaction
    SALE Area Menu for ALE configurations.It includes transactions for
    Logical System definition and linking it to a client, Transactions for
    RFC Destination and Port Definition Etc.
    SM59 RFC Destination
    Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
    the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
    password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
    Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
    of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
    R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
    The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
    System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
    WE21 Port Definition.
    There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
    types of ports are important.
    We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
    WE57 This is used to assign the Inbound function module to the Message Type
    and to the IDOC Type.
    WE42 This is used to define the process Code for Inbound Processing.
    BD95 Define Filter object type .We can specify the field and the table it belongs
    to as a filter object .
    BD59 Assignment of Filter object type to the Message Type .Here we create the
    link between Filter object and the segment and the message type and the
    segment Field.
    BD50 Set message Type to reducible.
    BD65 Define Mandatory Fields.
    BD64 Distribution Model . Also known as Customer Distribution Model Used to
    define all the messages that will be exchanged between remote systems
    and the name of thes logical systems. Any filters can also be specified.
    The model once created has to be distributed on every system which will
    be communicating ,It can be maintained on only One system.
    BD21 Creating IDOcs from change pointers.
    This can be used to create IDOCs from change pointers for a particular
    message LIKE MATMAS.
    BD22 This can be used to delete change pointers.
    BD87 Status Monitor. Idocs can be selected base on number of criteria and there
    processing status can be seen in detail.
    BD10 Material Master Data Distribution .
    Based on Message MATMAS.
    BD12 Customer Master Data Distribution .
    Based on Message CREMAS.
    BD14 Vendor Master Data Distribution
    Based on Message DEBMAS .
    BDFG Generate ALE Interface for BAPI.
    Here we specify the Business Object and the BAPI Function module for
    which the interface has to be created.
    WE31 Segment Editor.
    This is used to create segments. We create the segment type and
    segment definition is automatically created by editor e.g. Z1DUMMY is
    segment type and Z2DUMMY is the segment definition .We specify the
    fields and the data elements these cp\orresponds to create segments.
    WE30 IDOC Editor
    It is used to create a new IDOC Type or IDOC Extension .We specify the
    segments that will be addd to the IDOC type.
    WE02/05 IDOC List.
    Various selct options and parameters are provided to select IDOCs
    depending on the date, direction , mesage type etc.
    WE20 Partner Profile
    Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
    the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
    profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
    We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
    the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
    For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
    evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
    We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
    clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
    and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
    mentioned.

    IDOC
    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.
    How to create idoc?
    *WE30 - you can create a IDOC type

    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
    Create Message Type ( WE81 )
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release
    Follow steps to create more number of segments
    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type
    Fill details

    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
    1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
    2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    The two available process for IDOCs are
    Outbound Process
    Inbound Process
    AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extended IDOCs
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

  • User Master Replication thru ALE IDoc

    Hi,
    I have a scenario where i have to replicate the user master data from one server to another using ALE IDoc.
    Can anybody explain the procedure to do so emphasising on
    - Which message type to use?
    - Is there a need to create port?
    - Extending any Basic type?
    etc.
    Thanx in advance...

    Hi Aarti,
               First you do the ale configuration. After creation of logical system go for following steps.
    1. Rfc destination(sm59).
    2. Port creation(WE21).
    3.Partner profile creation(WE20).
    4.Distribution Model(BD64)- After creation disribute it.
    5.Check the availability of intended user in SU01D.
    6. From CUA in se38 execute RSCCUSND, make entry of Receiving system and User again execute, you will get Userclone idocs in 03 status then in 12 status, then monitor these idocs at receiving systems.
    Thanks,
    Asit Purbey

    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.

    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
    Create Message Type ( WE81 )
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release
    Follow steps to create more number of segments
    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter

    • Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
    • Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
    • Generate outbound partner profiles;
    • Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
    • Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
    Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
    1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
    2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
    3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
    4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
    5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)

    FOr testing you can use WE19.
    You can directly create an iDoc using some transaction like...
    Use TCODE bd10 - to Send Data
    and TCODE bd11 - to Get Data
    and you can check the IDoc List using TCODE we02.
    As you want step by step procedure.
    1. Define Logical System and Assign Logical System
    TCODE sale
    2. Define RFC
    TCODE sm59
    3. Define Port
    TCODE we21
    4. Define Partner Profile
    TCODE we20
    5. Define Distribution Model
    TCODE bd64
    6. Send Data
    TCODE bd10
    7. Get Data
    TCODE bd11
    8. IDoc List
    TCODE we02
    There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Extended IDOCs
    Idoc Components
    Basic Idoc
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extension Idoc
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    Creation of IDoc
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)
    Creating a Segment
    Go to transaction code WE31
    Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    Type the short text
    Enter the variable names and data elements
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set Release
    Follow steps to create more number of segments
    Create IDOC Type
    Go to transaction code WE30
    Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
    The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    Create IDOC Type
    Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    Save it and go back
    Go to Edit -> Set release
    Create Message Type
    Go to transaction code WE81
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type
    Fill details
    Save it and go back
    Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
    Go to transaction code WE82
    Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
    After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter.
    Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
    Fill details
    Save it and go back
