Party to Party communication

Hi All ,
Can i define an internal system as party ?
Here goes details of my scenario -
1)Internal system ( SAP R/3 system part of land scape ) defined as Party
2)Communication party ( external system ) connect thru HTTP adapter .
What are the various ways of sending data from R/3 system to XI system ?
Do i need to configure any sender adapter ?
Cheers,
Reddy

hi,
<i>Can i define an internal system as party ?</i>
u dnt define a system as a party. rather u define a party representing a larger unit like organization. n then assign systems to that party. so in ur scenario u can definitely have two parties, ur organization n the other company.
<i>ways of sending data from R/3 system to XI system ?</i>
3 ways-- idoc, rfc and proxies (for WAS>= 6.20)
<i>Do i need to configure any sender adapter ?</i>
for idoc- no. for rfc -rfc adapter. for proxy-generally no--xi adapter (depends)

  • JMS -- PI -- IDOC Party Communication

    Hi,
    I have a scenario JMS --> PI --> IDOC and vice-versa. JMS is an external system, so using PARTY communication. SAP System is within customer landspace.
    My doubt is - I have to import a Business System in ID for the IDOC (SAP system). Now where should I import this Business System? Should I import the SAP Business System under Party or under Without Party?
    If I am not wrong Business Component for JMS will come under the Party; have a doubt about the Business System.
    Thank you,
    Pankaj.

    If this is in another landscape then use Party..
    Ok. So nowI have imported the Business System (SAP ECC) under Without Party and will create the Business Component for JMS under Party.
    Thank you,
    Pankaj.

  • CRM To ECC Sold to party Communication Details Not populated in ECC

    Hi All
    i have one problem when we create sales order through crmd_order we need to give sold to party and ship to party numbers suppose like
    8000002166 for both and status i keep as order created and in partner tab i i seem all partner funtions(sold to, ship to ,bill to, payer)with 8000002166
    in header overivew i given posting date as feature date like 30-09-2013 then i try to save this order.
    the order generated sucussfully but problem is i am not getting sold to party details in ECC when i check VA03 And open cretaed order in CRM and clicking on sold to party and i seem details for this but i am not getting communication details like telephone number and email id extension number.
    for this sold to party we already maintained all communication details in CRM.When i open this sold to party BP i am able to see all details
    didnt understand why these details not replicated to ECC?
    We implemented one custom class there we implemented badi.
    IF_EX_CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI~CRM_DATAEXCH_AFTER_BAPI_FILL

  • Party communication channel for multiple stores with multiple user id and passwords in sap pi

    Hi Exeperts,
    I have a scenario proxy to SAOP . where i am sending some information from my stores to third party company   with single user id and password in communication channel.
    but requirement  is changed now  i have 20 stores  with 20 user id and password for communication channel.how can i achieve this requirement?
    Can i create 20 communication channels  for 20 stores  or can handle through the party based communication ?
    Please  help us achieve the requirement.
    Regards
    Ravinder.s

    Hi,
    In the SOAP Receiver adapter, you can only store 10 userid/password combinations via Authorization Keys. These are called via Dynamic Configuration via technical name TAuthKey. In your case, for it to work, you need:
    1. 2 business components/2 SOAP receiver communication channels.
    2. 1 receiver determination with xPath for username to determine correct business component
    3. 1 interface determination
    4. 2 receiver agreements (one for each cc)
    Hope this helps,
    Mark

  • Best Practices Invoice communication to 3rd party

    Hi All,
    I am looking for some pointer on best practices for 3rd party invoice communication for FMCG.
    Background: Inhouse printing, wrapping in envelope and posting to customer is an expensive option to client, compared to sending invocie data to 3rd party and 3rd party doing above activities of printing, enveloping and posting to customer.
    Currently a text file is sent to 3rd party which is enriched with logo etc and merged into a template to prepare final invoice document. This is then printed by 3P and sent to customer.
    Possible Solution: We can continue similar apporach where ECC sends IDOC to PI and PI converts data in text format to 3rd party for enrichment and printing. However this requires development both in ECC and PI and testing at ECC, PI and 3P. Is the suggested approach the best industry practice?
    Would appreciate if you can share your thoughts around the topic on best practice adopted in FMCG for third party communication?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Namish

    Best possible solution for your requirement is that you must maintain customer master  data with their Email adresses in customer general data tab. Take help from your ABAPER and BASIS guy to activate email sending. Maintain output type for email same like you are using for printing. You must have a smart form for your invoice with company logo and all other information. When you will create invoice a soft copy of that invoice in PDF format will be sent automatically to that particular customer.
    For this you need to do some configuration for out put type. ABAPER will help you to convert invoice into PDF and BASIS guy will activate email sending. You can also search the forum for more help. Email output type in PDF format have been many time discussed.
    Hope it will help you in your requirement.

  • Should i use Business system or Business service for a 3rd party file sys?

    Hi Gurus
    My requirement is to send a file from 3rd party client system to SAP ECC system.
    I want to confugure a file sender CC to pickup the file and send it to ECC system thru proxy.
    Now, after going thru the SAP definitions of 3rd party Business system (if the system is present the landscape and technical details are available) and Business service (if system's technical details is not available because it is not present in the landscape. Only the interface details are available, for ex: external webservice), i am not sure which one to use.
    What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
    In both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
    What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
    And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
    Many Thanks
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra
    Its always preferred to use Business service for communication with systems outside the landscape. As it does not refer to any SLD components and safe to use on internet etc.
    What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
    If you want to use 3rd party system you need to define party based communication and it acts as a party in production environment. You can also create a Standalone sytem in SLD for your use. Standalone technical system mostly refers to standalone Java applications in landscape.
    n both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
    What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
    If your communication is party based and the 3rd party you refer is a party for ERP then it make sense to use a third party communication and use party name as well.By this i mean business wise. Else its always good to use Business service.
    And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
    To use this third party system you need to register products on TS else you will not be able to see any Interface etc while configuring in ID. you need to add all details to it in SLD.
    Thanks

  • Business service and party

    business systems are logical names to technical systems
    what are business service and party explain with simple example.

    Hi
    business systems are logical names to technical systems
    what are business service and party explain with simple example
    Business service are abstract of senders and receivers which does not point to any Technical system or SLD components. This is useful when you are trying to achieve Cross Company integration or B2B.
    When you are not able to define system in landscape for a system refer to another location use business service for that.
    Example
    Company A Location A ERP1wants to integrate with Company B Location B ERP2
    Now you are not having ERP2 in Company A landscape then you can rely on Business service for ERP2 and Business system for ERP1 in Company A landscape. (Service without party)
    Company A can use Company B as a party as well. Then this will be considered as Third party communication and you can have components with Party.

  • Processing Invoices for Service Entries Via a 3rd Party System

    Hi all
    We are using a 3rd party business collab site to allow vendors to accept purchase orders, process their own service entries and upon reciept of a service entry reponse, they will be able to invoice via this 3rd party website.
    The problem the technical team (XI/PI) team is having is that the when the invoice comes in, using stand idocs and function modules, SAP processes the Invoice using MIR6.  The problem we get here it that it sees the Service entry as a GRV and the level of the information is no longer at a lower level and come up to a PO line item level.  Is this cause I am using GRV base invoice verification.  But based on this, if a service entry has multiple services, it only processes the last one, and looks at the others as duplicates as they all reference the same PO and Line Item.
    Have any of you come across such a senario and what did you do?
    What would be the impact if I did not do goods reciept based invoice verification.  Could that cause additional problems elsewhere in the system?
    PLEASE HELP
    Thanks

  • Enterprise services consumption by 3rd party - Security

    Dear Experts,
    I am planning to create a few enterprise services using an inside out approach (using FMs) with an intention of consuming it in a .NET WPF application (protoyping).
    These web services would then be consumed by a third party application which is outside our system landscape, in the near future. This 3rd application would thus have access to our data exposed through the interface.
    My question is, first of all, is it possible to achieve this kind of communication without any mappings??
    Secondly, how safe is it to provide such interfaces externally and will the user authentication settings be enough to assure safe integration? WIll the firewall settings affect this kind of 3rd party communication over the internet?
    Are there any problems that you all foresee?
    Any comments on this would be great as I plan to start really soon..
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Amith

    >My question is, first of all, is it possible to achieve this kind of communication without any mappings??
    yes once service is created then any .Net application can consume it by using wsdl.
    >Secondly, how safe is it to provide such interfaces externally and will the user authentication settings be enough to assure safe integration?
    user/password with limited authorization is safe enough but for extra security you probably use certificates.
    >WIll the firewall settings affect this kind of 3rd party communication over the internet?
    No, if your landscape is open for http communication then firewall will be unable to block any soap communication as it is plain text.
    >Are there any problems that you all foresee?
    First see what are your security risk appetite then check who will be user, selective partners or anyone who want to use it. For selective users you can create license or certificate key which need to be used to authenticate by calling application. Always create different endpoint for different partners or user so that you can selectively turn on/off the communication and will be able to trace who is doing what?
    Hope this helps you.

  • How to set up the communication channel for third party idoc

    Hello,
    I am trying to send an idoc from an sap 4.6c system to an third party system. The third party system is supporting idcos with trfc.
    My problem is to set up the communication channel in the integration builder (configuration) for the third party system. The idoc is waitung in XI to transport.
    My settings are:
    adapter type: idoc
    transport protocol: idoc
    message protocol: idoc
    adapter engine: integration engine
    rfc destination: xyz (is working fine)
    interface version: sap release 4.0 or higher
    port: ??
    sap release 46c
    My problem is the port. should i set up a port in idx1? But the third party is not an sap system and so i dont have a client.
    On the xi i have defined a port in transaction we21 (transactional rfc) for the third party with my rfc destination xyz. But if i enter that port in communication channel i got error messages.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Christian,
    yes, you have to mainztain that port in idx1.
    First ypi load the rfc-metadata from an SAP referenzsystem and afterwards copy this metadata to the third party port.
    For further details check the onlinedocumentation "IDoc Processing with the IDoc Adapter" XI -> runtime -> adapter
    Good luck,

  • No SDO Communication Using CAN over EtherCAT (CoE) with 3rd Party Slave

    Dear all
    We are trying to establish an EtherCAT communication between a cRIO 9024 as EtherCAT master with a 3rd party frequency comverter (bmaxx 4432) as EtherCAT slave. CanOPEN over EtherCAT is industry standard.
    The slave device has a CAN in Automation (CiA) configuration 402, i.e. motion and drives. Thus it has a well configured address range, input/output parameters and the like. The frequency converter remains in INIT mode and waits for a PDO definition, sent via an SDO communication. 
    In LabView, adding an EtherCAT master in the cRIO system works fine. Adding targets and devices on the configured EtherCAT master also works fine after we imported an XML description of our third party EtherCAT slave. LabView detects the slave type and the version correctly. Thus, there must already be a rudimentary EtherCAT communication working between LabView and our 3rd party slave.
    The problem is that we cannot establish a first SDO communication.
    Every description I found was about using CANopen on a CAN bus hardware (e.g. NI 9861) plugged into the cRIO. Descriptions concerning EtherCAT are usually concerning an NI cRIO 9144 extension as slave, which is not what we have.
    The NI CANopen library seems to definitely require the NI 9861.
    Is this correct?
    1)
    Either it should be possible to define a kind of virtual CAN port based on the EtherCAT port, on which we can write to and read from with the NI CANopen library. This would be the preferred solution so we can use the CANopen VIs.
    Is there a way to do this?
    2)
    Otherwise, there should be a possibility to establish a more basic SDO/PDO communication directly based on the EtherCAT interface.
    Are there any NMT/SDO/PDO VIs available to do the programming?
    Is there a manual document which would describe how to start the first communication setup via EtherCAT (CoE)?
    My sincere thanks for any advice you can give.
    Many cheers
     Markus

    Dear all,
    I'm trying to establish a connection between a cRIO9068 and a BM 3300 via CoE.
    I already had a hard time establishing a normal EtherCAT-connection.
    Finally I could set the Scan engine to active, and I was able to get from "ini" and  "pre operational" into "Safe operational" and "operational".
    As I can see, you had similar problems as I do.
    When I add my cRIO to my project (with the EterCAT-master)  I can look for the slave device, and add it to my project.
    Within this slave device, I can add two mods, as seen in the attachment.
    These slots should include all the parameters, the drive provides, but actually I only end up with some "position mode" -parameters, I think those are the SDO's.
    If I add these to a VI, the cRIO scan engine switches to configuration mode, but can't switch back to active mode.
    Actually, the Baumüller slave device should be able to provide multiple parameters for read and write.
    I can see them, wehn I go to "online device state" in the rightklick menu of the slave device (Parameter.png), but there's no way I can actually use them.
    I can't add these "slots" on every computer.
    On some computers it's possible, on some it isn't.
    Thanks for any advice, you can give.
    Yours sincerely
    Karl

  • Is it possible to add a community calendar to a website created in Muse & hosted on BC without resorting to a 3rd party widget?

    I need to add a searchable community calendar or events list to a website created in Muse & hosted on BC.

    Many thanks, but it's not quite what I'm after.
    I need something that let's a 3rd party submit an event which is then submitted for approval by an admin.
    I have found this which at the moment is in free beta.

  • PI 7.1 - Getting the Communication Party from the document

    Hello,
    In XI 3.0 when I made a Receiver Determination I was able to use "/p1:<document>/<field>" to pull in the Communication Party and Component (Service). 
    In PI 7.1 I am getting an error when I try to use / or : in the Receiver Determination. 
    Does anyone know how I can call fields from my document from my Receiver Determination in PI 7.1?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    You need to use the drop menu for Communication Party and select "Extended".  Although the result is the same as manually entering the fields it does not give the error when you use the drop menu.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Configuring PI SSL for communicating with third-party web services

    Hi,
    I'm trying to load a COMODO certificate into a J2EE environment running in NetWeaver 7 (no enhancement packs), in order to connect to an external web service using SSL
    I have been looking at this reference:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a0/a5d13f83a14d21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    and in this document (and many others i've read) it talks about requiring a server key pair to support SSL.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm
    My question is - is there a way to use the self-signed root CA certificates instead of having to generate CSRs and sign certs?  I ask this because it seems completely impractical to have to generate key pairs for each SAP installation that is required to access a third-party web service.
    Furthermore, the SSL connection may only be for the web service and I'd rather not have to ask that the entire J2EE server is switched to SSL in order to make this secure connection. I've recently discovered the AXIS framework for the SOAP adaptor however I'm not familiar with it and can't identify whether you could use this for the SSL handshake and avoid having to a) generate certificate key pairs and b) switch your J2EE server to SSL
    Does anyone have experience connecting to a third-party service using VeriSign, COMODO or Thawte certificates and can clear this up for me?
    Regards,
    John

    Did you resolve your issue?
    I´m posting some comments that maybe can help newer administrators facing similar doubts.
    I´m using NW PI 7.1 EHP1 also and some interfaces were developed for using an external site providing web services through SSL (HTTPS) connection.
    As in browser navigation, secure sites protected with SSL has a certificate emited by a international CA. We didn´t perceive the "handshake" in the most of cases because normally the web browser has a group of trusted CAs loaded on its certificate store.
    With SAP PI and its WAS Java a similar procedure occurs with a small difference. The WAS Java didn´t have the trusted CAs loaded on KeyStorage. So, when the adapter tries to establishing a connection with an HTTPS site (it is a background process)  a "handshake" is required to accepting the certificate and produces a error.
    We completes the handshake importing the entire certificate chain (you can upload the site´s certificate to your browser and export it as file) on Keytore under the Trusted CAs view.
    Hope this can help someone. It´s an "easy" part of SSL communication.
    Now I´m trying to configure the inverse: Some third party consuming the PI web services using SSL. I have an additional component on inbound/ incoming connections that is the SAP Web Dispatcher.
    The Help.sap.com is the reference but as always its a little difficult to find the (sequential) path following the links (go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go back, go back, go ahead)...
