Posting Idoc from XML port to FTP
Hello Experts,
I have a business case, where the xml generated from and xml port has to be posted on to an FTP. Presently we are doing it manually by getting the xml from CG3Y T-Code and posting it on to FTP manually. Is there any way for posting the Idoc.xml directly on to the FTP, without our intreaction?
Can this be done by customizing the ALE config,s? Or we need to wirte an ABAP code?
Another concern is that every time, I generate an IDoc, the previous IDoc is over written. Can this process, changed so that the previous dosent get overwritten insted it creates a new xml, every time we tigger and Idoc.
Thanks,
Suma
Hi Suma,
To FTP the IDoc.xml you can use shell script which will FTP the IDocs to the FTP server. This shell script can be scheduled on the application server at OS level to be executed at a given frequency (say every 10 mins).
The other way of doing this is maintain the shell script details in the Outbound Trigger of the XML File port and set the radio button in partner profile to Start Subsystem in Outbound parameters tab. This will make the shell script to be executed after the IDoc is written to the XML File port.
If you are not intersted in writing shell scripting, you can directly use the HTTP xml port. This is very easy to use and you can have tight integration. When ever an Idoc is triggerd this will direclty send it accross the HTTP server and from you can make use of it. On any tomcat you can create a HTTP server. If you are using Websphere product as integraion then, it is directly proived by IBM. I suggest you to go for the HTTP rahter doing it on XML Port.
You have a disadvantage for XML port that ever time you generate an Idoc it will be over written. So there is chance that you may miss some of the Idoc's.
Thanks,
Srikanth

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently
Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora ReddyHi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

Can anybody send me the link or sme document for the above said scenario.
Warm regards,

you need to do the following:
In XI
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to R3
IDX1 - define the port with the above dest.
In R3
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to XI
WE21 - define the port with the above dest.

Hi,
I want to create Scheduling Agreement from idoc using XML file means i am receiving XML file and i want to convert this XML file into IDOC and finally process this IDOC to craete scheduling agreement.
But i don't have any idea for this.pl. tell me what should i do for this.
Thanks,
RahulHi,
You are receiving XML file and you want that to converted into the IDOC and inturn to be processed in your system, for this you need to create an XML port and you need to read the file from that port then an IDOC will be created. Create an XML file port in WE21 transaction and then goto WE16 transaction and you can use that transaction to upload a file as an IDOC into the SAP system.
Once the IDOC is created rest of the activity is same.
Thanks,

What authorization required to post idoc from XI via RFC?
Hi all,
I need to post idoc to SAP R/3 system from XI. I have done all the steps correctly. While creating RFC in XI system to connect to the R/3 system, intially I gave my R/3 username and password and tested teh connection. Everything was working fine but when I actually ran the scenario, IDOC was not getting posted in the R/3. But there was no error anywhere.
fianlly after debugging I fould it might be the issue of authorization the the R/3 user i used in the RFC. I then assigned SAP_ALL authorization to my user and posted the iodc again and it started working fine.
Can anyone please tell me what are th exact authorizations/role i need to assign to the r/3 used to use it in RFC and successfully posting the idoc? I dont want to use SAP_ALL authorization in my production environemnt.
Please help.
Regards,
YashHi,
Even i had faced this problem. Whenever I tried to send IDOCs, i used to get an error in SM58, " No authorization to send IDOC of type DEBMDM".
When i got SAP_ALL it worked. However I raised a note with SAP asking for an alternative and this is the reply gave me.
You can get good information on this topic in your online help files.
The following is taken from the document "General Security Measures
(ALE)":
Use the transaction SALE to maintain the ALE configuration, to include setting up the distribution model and setting up ALE user authorizations and profiles. Note the following:
- Be restrictive when assigning the ALE authorizations.
The authorization profile B_ALE_ALL contains the following
authorization objects that are needed for ALE:
Authorizations for ALE
Authorization Description
B_ALE_CGRP ALE Customizing Distribution: Group Activities
B_ALE_LSYS ALE/EDI: Maintaining logical systems
B_ALE_MAST ALE/EDI: Distributing master data
B_ALE_MODL ALE/EDI: Maintaining customer distribution model
B_ALE_RECV ALE/EDI: Receiving IDocs via RFC
B_ALE_REDU ALE/EDI: Generating messages (ex. reduction)
S_PROGRAM ABAP: Program run checks
S_TABU_DIS Table Maintenance (using standard tools such as SM30)
Protect external users and passwords.
For example, for a non-SAP system to send IDocs to a SAP System using transactional RFC, it must also send a SAP user ID and password.
In most cases, the user and password are stored outside of the SAP System. Make sure that this information is not accessible to external systems or programs. (How you can do this is dependent on the system that you have; therefore, you need to refer to the documentation for the system where the information is stored.)
However, I feel assigining the profile S_IDOC_ALL should also be enough. Just try and see.

"An IdocException occurred" while posting Idocs from SAP ECC to SAP PI AEX
Hi all,
While sending Idocs from SAP ECC to SAP PI 7.4 AEX, we are experiencing this issue at SAP ECC-SM58
Only a particular Idoc type is having this issue.
Below are the checks done before posting this query:
1. Pushed other Idocs from the SAP ECC to PI and all were getting exchanged successfully.
2. Reloaded the meta data in PI for the particular Idoc type in issue.
3. Checked the RFC destinations in SAP ECC, RFC connection test is also working fine.
4. Unicode option enabled in the SAP ECC RFC destination pointing to PI-AEX
5. Restarted the inboundRA service in PI AEX.
Is there anything still missing. What could be root cause of this issue.
If anyone has encountered it before, pleases share the resolution.
Thank you

How to post Idocs FROM BW to R/3?
Hi,
what I need to do is:

2. create an Idoc from the record I read.
3. post the idoc back to R/3.
Do you know how can I send the Idoc directly to R/3 FROM BW?
Thanks,
ItayHi Andrzej,
I created the following fm in R/3 to be called from BW:
FUNCTION z_read_table.
""local Interface:
*" IMPORTING

*" EXPORTING
*" VALUE(EP_TAB) TYPE ZBP0_TAB
DATA: it_table TYPE REF TO data,

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <it_tab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
<ls_tab> TYPE ANY.
create internal table
CREATE DATA it_table

ASSIGN it_table->* TO <it_tab>.
read data
SELECT * INTO TABLE <it_tab> FROM (ip_tabname).
assign data

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_STRUCT_TO_CHAR'
EXPORTING
ip_struct = <ls_tab>
IMPORTING
ep_string = l_line.
APPEND l_line TO ep_tab.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFUNCTION.
In BW I am calling it with
CALL FUNCTION Z_READ_TABLE destination 'DEST'
IMPORTING ip_tabname = 'ZTABLE'
EXPORTING ep_tab = itab.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I have to Post an IDOC from MQ (MQ to IDOC scenario).
I am getting an error in the communication channel :
Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 1 according to structure Header:java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: field(s) missing - specify lastFieldsOptional parameter to allow this; nested exception caused by: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 1 according to structure Header:java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: field(s) missing - specify lastFieldsOptional parameter to allow this
What is the solution to this problem?
Thanks,
VikasIt seems you are using Content conversion on Sender JMS adapter side.
Some fields must be missing in your Source file.
You need to specify the lastFieldsOptional parameter in Content Conversion. -
I would like to know if there is a way to post an SAP inbound IDOC from a proxy?
have any of you worked on such scenarios? If so what are the steps involved?
Thank You
Arvind RHi Arvind,
I am not sure why do you want to do that but if you are able to generate IDOC headers using the data in the proxy, yes, then you can send/post an IDOC using proxy.

Error when posting Idocs From XI to SAP by Partner Profile
Hi all.
i have a problem. all my inbound IDocs in R3 use PP(Partner Profile) LS_XID.
but i need to send IDoc MATMAS by a diferent PP (LS_MATERIALS).
So, i added a new BS in transaction BD54.
In transaction BD64 re-desing the Distribution Model as follow
SL_130 (R3 DES)
> LS_MATERIALS (XI)
|> MATMAS.
In transaction WE20 define the new PP LS_MATERIAL. In inbound table add the MATMAS IDoc. Later imust delete de MATMAS IDoc from LS_XID list. same as transaction BD64.
My problem is when send the MATMAS to R3. it is still using PP SL_XID, so IDoc get status 56 (EDI: Partner Profile Inbound not Available) in R3.
Why?? Any IDea??

Problems with posting iDocs from MDM in SAP R3
Hi,
I am an MDM consultant, with limited knowledge about SAP R3.
We send material master data from MDM, via PI to R3 using iDocs.
We are having problems with posting MATMAS, and it seems the problems are with updating already existing materials.
In BD87 we get the following warnings:
The field MARA-ERVOE is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized
The field MARA-ERVOL is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized
The field MARA-FERTH is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized
The field MARA-KZGVH is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized
The field MARA-XCHPF is not ready for input and was therefore not initialized
With the last message being:
No changes made
I have checked the MDM syndicator, and none of these idoc-fields are linked to the MDM repository.
So they are syndicated blank.
If we try to resend the material, it is again stopped and in BD87 I see the same messages.
Please help me understanding how to solve these issues.
Thanks,
ThomasHi,
Please refer the below threads which talks about the similar problem
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3180116
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1374222
Generally the basic view of the material to be created first. Then the sales, purchasing and other views to be created.
There are few fields in the other views which gets values from the basic data view.

Antony
