No interface in Reciever agreement

Question

Hi all,
        I am configuring a idoc scenario in reciever agreement i am selecting the service and then come to interface (display ) i am unable to get the interface there (from the BUSINESS SYSTEM). If i click ALL  then i can see the interface .
I am getting an error stating Message interface does not exist in any software components installed in this Business system.
This prevents the reciever determination .
Thanks in advance ,
Regards Naveen.

Answer 1

You have to use Business system for this IDOC Scenario.
This is complete step by step document for configuring the idoc to file scenario along with ALE Settings
To Configure the IDOC TO FILE SCENARIO,PROCEED AS FOLLOWS
STEP 1:ALE SETTINGS TO POST IDOC OUT OF SAP R/3
We need to do the following settings in XI
1) Create an RFC Destination to the Sending System in transaction code (SM59)
a) Choose create
b) Specify the name of the RFC destination
c) Select connection type as 3 and save
d) In the technical settings tab enter the details SAP SID/URL and system number#
e) Enter the Gateway host as same details above SID/URL
f) Gateway service is 3300+system number#
g) In the Logon /Security tab, enter the client user & Password details of Destination system
h) Test the connection and remote logon.Both should be succesful
2) Create Port Using Transaction Code IDX1
a) Select create new button
b) Enter the port name as SAP+SID (The starting char should be SAP)
c) Enter the destination client
d) Enter the RFC Destination created in SAP R/3 towards other system
e) Save
3) Load Meta Data for IDOC Using transaction Using Transaction (IDX2)
a) Create new
b) IDOC Message Type
c) Enter port created in IDX1
SETTINGS IN SAP R/3
We need to do the following settings in R/3
Logon to Sap R/3 System
1) Create an RFC Destination to XI in transaction code (SM59)
a) Choose create
b) Specify the name of the RFC destination
c) Select connection type as 3 and save
d) In the technical settings tab enter the details SAP SID/URL and system number#
e) Enter the Gateway host as same details above SID/URL
f) Gateway service is 3300+system number#
g) In the Logon /Security tab, enter the client user & Password details of Destination system
h) Test the connection and remote logon.Both must be succesful
2) Create communication Port for Idoc processing Using Transaction(We21)
a) First Select Transactional RFC and then click create button
b) Enter the destination port name as SAP+SID (The starting char should be SAP)
d) Enter the RFC Destination created in SAP R/3 towards other system.
e) Save
3) Create Partner Profile with Outbound Parameters (WE20)
a) Create New
b) Create the Partner no. name as same the logical system name of the destination system
c) Select Partner type LS
d) Enter details for Type: US/USER, Agent, and Lang
Then Save
e) Select Partner no. and LS which were create above
f) Now we have to give some Outbound Parameters.So click on ADD TO Create Outbound Parameter
g) Select Message type
h) Double click on Message Type and Then Enter the details for Receiving port, Pack size=1 and Basic type
I) save
4) In Transaction SALE, Create Logical System
a). Go to Basic Settings-> First Define logical systems
and then assign logical systems
b) Double click on Define the logical systems
c) Give data for your Logicaal System and Name
d) Now click on Save.Here one window may appear just click on Continue.Now the Logical System name is ready

Click on Menu Item ‘Generate Partner Profiles’
It leads to the next transaction where in the selection screen you have to provide Model view name, Partner System logical system and execute
Then, you will be intimated about the partners, port creation, and outbound parameters creation
4) Distribute Customer Distribution Model
In the menu item GO to Edit->Modal View-> ‘Distribute’ to the destination client
Popup window appears ,press Enter
You will be intimated about the the Modal View Distributed
Step2:Repository
1) From the Integration Builder page, select “Integration Repository”. This will launch the Java Web Start Application. Log with the User id and password from the Integration Server
2) Choose Tools->Transfer from System Landscape Directory->Import Software Component Versions
From the list of Software Component Versions, Choose your own software component version .Click Import.
3) On the left hand side frame ,software components will appear .Select your own software component. Open your own software component. Double click on this software component. A screen will appear .Switch to display mode. After doing this first add a namespace under Namespaces.
Your NameSpace is urn : DSZVFGD
4) Then choose the Radio Button ->Import of RFC AND IDOC interfaces from SAP systems permitted
After this specify the connection parameters to the R/3 system:
4.1) System :SAPFOX
4.2) Client :800
Then Save it. The new namespace will be visible under software component version node in the left frame.
Under the namespace node, you will find the section Imported Objects. Right click on it and choose Import of sap objects. A wizard will display. In the wizard provide the following details.
4.3) Application server:172.25.5.7
4.4) System number:00

4.6) Password: Password of Sap R/3 system.
Then click continue .You will find IDOC node. Click on this node and select the Idoc which is to be imported from R/3. Click Finish to start the Import. Close the wizard. After doing this the Idoc will be available into XI as Message types. So no need to create any Idoc Structure. We need to create a structure for file only.
5). Under your namespace in the left frame, expand the node “Interface objects”. You will find a node “DATA TYPES”
6) Create new data types.
6.1) Right click on “Data types” and select “New”.
Your Data Type is :DT_FILE
In the data type Editor ,Create a structure having Elements of type String , integer, Boolean , Float etc as per the requirement.
Save the object.
6.2) The Import function for XSD files enables you to upload message definitions from external sources. The object type “External Definition” is a container to make external definitions available in the Integration Repository.. While Importing the XSD files from “External Definition
no need to create Data types. They are imported directly as Message types.
6.3) To do so, In the left hand frame Under ” Interface objects” Create a new object of type “External Definition” and give name to it.
Select the following.
6.3.1) Category: XSD.
6.3.2) Messages: From All Available Global Elements.
6.3.3) File:
Once the XSD is imported, click on “Message” tab , You should be able to see 2 messages(Request and Response)
7). Create a new Message Type.
7.1) In the left hand frame under “Interface objects”, right click on the “Message types” and select new.
7.2) Give a suitable name to the Message type.(MT_ messagetype).
7.3) For the section “Data type used” you can go to input help (F4) or Search help provided and choose your data type (DT_datatype) from there.
Save it.
8). Create a Message interface
8.1) In the left hand frame under “Interface objects”, right click on the “Message Interface” and select new and name(MI_ messageinterface) it
8.2). The interface Should be Inbound and mode should be Asynchronous .It should reference your Message type(Use F4 or Search help).
Save it.
9) . Create a graphical mapping between the target document and the sender .
9.1) In the left hand frame ,expand “Mapping objects”. Right click on “Message mapping” and name it.You are now in a graphical editor.The Source message is on left, the Target message is on right.
9.2) As Source message select your own Idoc .You can choose “Search for Integration Object”.As a reminder you can find your Idoc or Rfc under Software Component- > Namespace->Imported Objects.
9.3) As Target Message you can choose your Message type .Choose “Search for Integration Object”.
9.4) Now that we have defined the Source and Target message, we can start defining the Mapping rules.
9.5) Map the fields of Source document to the equivalent fields in Target document .This can be achieved easily by locating the field in Target document and then Drag and Drop the Source fields to the respective Target Fields.
Save It.
9.6) You can also Test your Mapping by selecting the 'Test Tab'.
9.7) Fill in the values in the Idoc fields and click 'Start Transformation'. On the right hand side you will see Target Document populated with the appropriate Values.
10). Create an Interface Mapping.
10.1) In the left hand Frame expand “Mapping objects”. Right Click on “Interface Mapping” and Name it. You are in a Interface Mapping Editor .Assign the following References.
10.2) Source interface : Your Outbound Interface (The Source document(Idoc) interface).You can Choose” Search for Integration Object”.
10.3) Target interface: Your Inbound Interface( The Target document interface).
Then Select 'Read Interface' and Assign your 'Mapping Program' .
Mapping Program: Your Message mapping.
Then Save it.
11.) Finally , in the left hand frame ,go to your change list and Activate it
STEP 3: Directory
1) From the Integration Builder page, select “Integration Directory”. This will launch the Java Web Start Application. Log with the User id and password from the Integration Server.
Create a Scenario Object
2). The First Step is to create a Scenario Object
This will serve as container for all your configuration work. Create and save a scenario object
3) In the left hand frame you can see the created scenario object. Under that Object Expand the node “Service without Party” and right –click on “Business System”->Assign Business System
4) In the wizard , leave the party name blank and then select your own Business System. Uncheck the box ”Create Communication Channel Automatically”.This service (business system) represents the legacy system and Sap R/3 which will be exchanging the data.
5) . Create a Communication Channel.
6). Expand your service and right click on “Communication Channel”. Name your Communication Channel
Here we need to configure the adapter.
Since The Sender is IDOC , then there is no need of Sender communication channel and Sender Agreement.
For the Receiver, Specify the following Parameters
6.1 For the adapter type , use the F4 help and select FILE.
6.2 Specify “Receiver” since the adapter will be sending XML files from XI to the FTP server.
6.3 Specify the following parameters.

7.1) Select your sender service and interface.
Sender:
Party: blank
Service: Sender service(Business system)
Interface : Sender interface
7.2) In the “Configured Receivers” area , choose the Service for the Target System.. Save your Receiver Determination
Create an Interface Determination.
7.3) Next create an “Interface Determination” object. Now that we have defined a receiver of message ,we need to assign an Inbound interface and an Interface mapping
7.3.1) In the Receiver Determination you just created, have a look at the area “Configuration Overview for Receiver Determination” at bottom of your screen and press Refresh for that the Business system you assigned is displayed in that area as well.
7.3.2) In the column “Receiver(Partner/Service)” open the details by clicking the node .The Entry “Not defined” shows you that there is no interface determination present.
Right click on the Entry “Not defined” and select “ New specific”, in order to create a new interface determination object
7.3.3) You are now in the screen “Edit Interface Determination”. In the section “Configured Inbound Interfaces” select the Inbound Interface using F4 help Provided. You might need to choose ALL button for the interface to be shown.
After choosing the Inbound Interface, It is shown in the Interface Determination
