Need of External definition
Hey guys
i was just wondering as to why we need to import an XSD or WSDL in External definition when we can directly import that using the tabs in Datatypes and Message Interface.
is it because of shipment purposes?do we always need to create an External definition first and then import that in datatype or Message Interface?
thanx

Hi Ahmad,
Added to Archanas point,External Defination are used in XI to import the any wsdl files from any remote stystem or any landscape.
Let's take an example you have webservice which is not in your landscape and you want to use that webservice in your business requirement...in such a situation you can imort that wsdl file as external defeniation in XI and you can map the reqired fields....here we are making use of webservice as external definiation which is not in ur landscape.
Hope you clear about what is the use of exeternal definition
Thanks and Regards,
chandu.

Not able to see "External Definitions" in Integration Repository
Hi Experts,
I am working on PI 7.1.
In the Integration Repository Menu :
SAP Basis --->SAP Basis 7.10 ->http://sap.com/xi/XI/System ->
"Service Interfaces",
"Message Types"
"Fault Message Types",
"Data Types",
"Adapter Metadata"
only are visible.
We need the "External Definitions". Is it not available in the standard SAP PI 7.1 ?
Do we have to import it explicitly?
Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance
~ SurajHey NM,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. problem got resolved when i did what you said (checking the attributes with developers user id's)
Thanks

External Definitions...Need Help
could you please explain what is the main advantage of creating an External Definitions under the basic objects?
In this we have to pass one mandatory field like File... where do i get this file and what it contain exactly?
please let me know....Hi Hari,
As shekar has mentioned External definations are required to import WSDL, XSD etc, so that they can be used in the Integration scenario. They are generally provided by the Systems participating in the integration scenario.
For example if you are working in a scenario where you need to connect to a web service, then the web service people will provide you their WSDl that you need to import in external definations and use it in mapping and stuff. It saves you lot of time and hard work of creating data types and message types.
In your scenario, if you need to add an extra element in the external defination then first create a data type of FILE and then add it to Message type created using the External definations.
This should work or else provide us the whole inital and final structure that you require.

Unable to see Messages in External Definitions
I imported the WSDL below and created a Message Interface based on JobSubmitRequest but, when I come to map to it, all I see in the tree structure is node 'JobSubmitRequest' with elements 'parameter' and 'request_header'.
I also cannot see any messages in External Definitions.
Can anyone help with a solution?

&Hi,
Not all data types from WSDL are supported during import. There is SAP Note about it.
please read it:

File to multiple Idocs using external definitions.
Hi all,
I have to create multiple idocs based on one field from source side.
Inorder to do this..I have decided to change the occurance of Idoc from 1 to 1..unbounded , in the xsd i have downloaded from standard Idoc.
which i have a plan to map to the filed , based on that i need to create new Idoc.
I have tried importing the modified xsd into external definition. but how i should relate it to standard idoc which I have mapped earlier?.
Thanks,
venu.HI Venu,
<i>

After changing the Idoc occurence , you have imported the xsd into external definition. So this will act as as new message type for you in the mapping.
You can not use old mapping here.

Message Mapping - External Definitions
My Scenario
1) File1(Request with Employee Number) - Sent to XI (Async)
2) XI will send the Request over HTTP and will Receive the Response(Employee Details) (Synchronous)
3) The HTTP Response will be sent to File2(Employee Details) (Async)
The Request and Responses are XSD Messages. I have Imported them into External Definition in my Repository.
Created a File Request - Abstract - Asynchronous - Message interface
Created a HTTP Request-Response - Abstract - Synch - Message interface
Created a File Response - Abstract - Asynchronous - Message interface
Message Mapping: (I am stuck here)
I need to Map the File Request to HTTP Request
I need to Map the HTTP Response to File2Response
How can I creat the Message Mapping for the above situation?
Thanks.Hi,
You will need to create the following message mapping:
1. File Request - HTTP Request
2. HTTP Response - File Response
you can map Message Types to External Definitions and vice versa.
They should appear in the list for the relevant software component.
Or am I missimng something here ?
Cheers

"Messages" problem after importing .xsd file as external definition
Hello,
I received an .xsd file from a customer and need to import it as an "External Definition" in order to create the "Message Interface". The structure of the xsd looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:px="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" targetNamespace="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ORDER">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ADDRESS">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ARTICLE_ID">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
After importing and looking at the tab "Messages" I get numerous entries, for each <xsd:element> I get one message! But I basically only need one "Message" that holds my complete xsd-file.
I tried inserting <xsd:element name="COMPLETEORDER"> right after the <xsd:schema>-Tag but that didn't work either. Somehow I need to sum up all the <xsd:elements>.
Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!
PeterHello Prateek, Hello everyone,
I now know what the problem is. I downloaded XMLspy and checked on the structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:px="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" targetNamespace="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ORDER">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ADDRESS">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ARTICLE_ID">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:simpleType name="dtBOOLEAN">
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name="dtCOUNTRIES">
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:element name="SUPPLIER_AID">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:simpleType name="typeSUPPLIER_AID">
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>
Between the long list of <xsd:element> tags there are some simpleTypes on the same
level. Now if I insert
<xsd:element name="COMPLETEORDER">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
on top, the <xsd:sequence> would be on the same level as the simpleTypes - which is not valid!
But can I just move all the simpleTypes, e.g. into an <xsd:element>??
That would be changing the customer's structure which I think is not a good thing!?
Thank you again for your help! I really appreciate it!
Best regards,

Can External Definition be used or Receiver File content conversion (CSV)?
Hi Experts,
I'm a newbie to SAP PI and I started working on file to File(FCC) scenario in which I am provided with the receiver structure as an External definition. The structure is like
Name
Place
Designation
Salary
hike
Can I use the same structure (External Definition) for the receiver file content conversion or do I need to create another specific structure?
Can I convert the target CSV file to UTF-8 encoding?
Please help.
Regards,
TaroHi,
Can the above specified structure be used for receiver FCC? Does this work? Can this be converted to UTF-8?
If it can be used, how do we specify the parameters for FCC then as there's no root element?

Idoc - External Definitions Error
Hi,
I had to change the occurences of an exisiting idoc. I had imported the xsd,changed the occurrences and reloaded it using WSDL structure.
When i load the external definition in the mapping structure, it is giving me the following error.
Object External Message Z_INVOICE02_MULTI | INVOIC.INVOIC02.ZINVOIC02 | urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages not found
Please note that when i had imported the xsd, i had removed the target namespace.Hi Sai,
i need to add an additional field to the existing IDOC structure
Is there any specific reason for usign IDOC as external definition (are you changing the occurance of IDOC)?
what is your sender and receiver system?
Are you expecting the value for this addition field to be populated by sap along with the rest of IDOC data? if yes then ,get a custom IDOC created in SAP with the required field.
Or if you want to populate this additional field in PI usign any logic (assuming you are sending to any non sap system), then you can create a new ED for the targert , just export
the ED to desktop , open with any xml editor (xml spy or microsoft visual studio 2005) and navigate to the portion of xsd which you want to edit add the field -> reimport in PI and use it as your target strucuture.You cannot edit ED directly in ESR.

External Definition (wsdl) with abstract xsd element
Hello All,
we are trying to call a webservice, here is the wsdl:
https://www.1link.com/fr/demo-sn/site/gaiwebservice.asmx?WSDL
the problem is that the GAIJobLine element is defined as abstract:
<s:complexType name="GAIJobLine" abstract="true">
and there several elements which are extending GAIJobLine, for example:
<s:complexType name="GAITyreLine">
<s:complexContent mixed="false">
<s:extension base="tns:GAIJobLine">
So in our mapping we need to map to those element which are extending base element and not to the abstract one, but Graphical mapping displays only GAIJobLIne base element.
Does anybody know how we can map to extended elements without mannually changing wsdl?
Best Regards,
Artsiom Anichenkathanks for your reply!
the extended elements are seen when I open wsdl in XMLSpy.
they are also visible in external definition object, but the main problem is that in the mapping only the base lement is displayed and there is no possobility to choose the extension.
Maybe this kind os XSDs (with abstract base types and extended elements) are just not supported by PI711? -
Add new field in External Definition
Hi,
I have a scenario where I have to add just one extra field in in the Outbound DT.
In our case we do not have DT, but External Definition say BAPI_XYZ.xsd
I export the .xsd file from Tools --> Export Original Document (Category: xsd, Messages:From All available global elements" )and the BAPI_XYZ.xsd is saved in my desktop.
I just add this piece of code in the place where I need it.
<xsd:element name="PLANNING_VER" minOccurs="0"><xsd:simpleType><xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"><xsd:maxLength Value="8"/></xsd:restriction></xsd:simpleType></xsd:element>
After this I import the XSD and save it undre external definition. But when I open this new xsd in the message mapping I get the error "BAPI_XYZ has No messages" and the structure is not loaded.
In the existing External definition when I move to the "Messages" Tab I can see an entry "BAPI_XYZ.Response" . The same is not available when I add the extra field and impor the new XSD
Can some one pls help??
Regards
PrasannaHi Prasanna
There is an issue with XSD. Value = "8" should be small v.
Please insert the below code at correct position.
<xsd:element name="PLANNING_VER" minOccurs="0">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:minLength value="8" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element>
After that check that XSD is well formed and valied or not. You can use Validator for XML Schema W3C [Link|http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv] , XML editor (XMLspy), Eclipse, NetBeans.

Using SAPR/3 IDOC in PI as External definition,type of communication channe
Hi,iam using IDOC Structure as an external definition in PI ,I JUST want to know the procedure for file to idoc using external defintion for idoc structure in the reciever side and what is the communication channel needed for recieving external definition at reciever side.
will be waiting for you rresponse.
bye.
regards.
VarmaHi
Use the following steps:
1. Select the software component that you want to import an IDoc type for.
Check the settings for the software component version. Make sure the
attribute Import of RFC and IDoc Interfaces from SAP Systems Permitted
is selected and that the technical connection data for importing from the
SAP system is maintained.
2. Under the Imported Objects node choose Import RFC/IDoc from the context
menu.
3. Enter a valid user and password and choose Continue.
You need to use a receive IDoc Communication Channel but in case of sender no need to create a communication channel.

Idoc as external definition for occurance change - interface use
Hello,
never used this.
Found this blog from Michael
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
Question is...
When I import the Idoc as external definition then I need to add it into a message interface because it cannot be used
like original Idoc which is used as message interface?
Thank you in advance !
Best regards
DirkWhen I import the Idoc as external definition then I need to add it into a message interface because it cannot be used
like original Idoc which is used as message interface?
You dont have to use it in Message interface....the standard IDOC can be used in the Interface Mapping Directly....even Michal mentioned the same in the blog Step 6....in case you missed it.

Abhishek. -
Hi Friends,
There is a requirement for external definition to import. I got one file from client text file having xml data. So i have save as to .XSD format and tested in XI while uploading into external definitions.
As per my knowledge, .XSD/wsdl/dtd file can be used for external definitions. And, it acts as Message type so create MI .
So , if we request from client , is there specific format is there for .XSD??? Is it only message type else data type possible ???
How to guide the client to get the .XSD files?
Thank you
DevaHi Deva,
first convert XML file in to XSD,for that you can use XML Editors ALTOVA XML Spy or Styalus studio to conver XML to XSD.
you can get free trail versions available.
The XML to XSD conversion process very easy , just google it.
if you have XSD then you no need to create Data type and Message Type.

External Definitions under SAP Basis 7.10
Hi All,
We are trying with Directory API Developement using the following blog,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/11655. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
As per the blog we need to import External definition from SAP Basis software component(under the namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System).But we are not able to see any external definitions.
Could you please guide us what are the extra setting needed to be done to get those external definitions.
Thanks and Regards
Senthil.Hi Senthil,
from that blog:
Java proxies can be generated in NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) from:
1. Web service URL from the web service runtime of the JEE server, by using the "Web Services Navigator"
2. External definitions in the "SAP Basis 7.00" SWCV
You will find the external definitions in Basis Component 7.00, but not in 7.10. Just load the 7.00 into your ESR.

Udo
