Preventing IDoc duplication

Hi,
Not sure if this question applies to this forum or if it applies to application server issue but we have 1 receiver SAP ECC and 2 SAP ECC senders of same IDocs because we have connected 2 different systems having same data for test purposes. When both the sender systems send the same data and post as IDoc in receiver system, it causes duplication of IDocs with double records. We are using XI as the middle component between the sending and receiving systems.
My question is, is there any way to prevent this from duplicating the IDocs in receiving system? or What is the best way or how to prevent this duplication of IDocs? Is there a standard function module or BAPI to do this check? Or is there any way to prevent this in XI or sending systems? Does anyone have any other ideas that has worked in this situation?
Thanks,
Sangita

OK , let me sum up your case ,
You have 2 sender systems , which sends the IDOCS
you have 1 receiver system , which receives the IDOC via XI.
Now due to some reason both sender system creates exactly the same IDOC ( which may be correct from technology point of view ) but I do not see valid business reason for that, anyway it seems just an odd scenario , but the issue is you want to filter out of those 2 similar IDOCS only 1 should go to Target system.
If my understanding is correct of above scenario, XI will not be able to distinguish between these 2 IDOCS as duplicate,unless
You use BPM to collect the IDOCs and remove duplicates before pushing it to Receiver system. This solution may seem too much of a work which is just bcos of testing systems.
So easiest way would be to remove the business reason as why both system are triggering the IDOCs or they may be completely valid.
Thanks,

    How do i prevent number duplication in this program. Basically so that i don't have to enter the same number again

  • Idoc Output Control Problem, Want to prevent IDoc creation

    I want to prevent an IDoc from being simply created if a certain condition is not met. However if I set the sy-subrc = 4 and exit from the routine it still goes ahead and creates an outbound IDoc. Here is the code from the routine. I have debugged into the code and it DOES get executed when i change order info header from VA02. I have already debugged to make sure that the following piece of code does get executed and the SY-SUBRC does get set to 4 before the execution exits the Form given below. Please suggest what I m doing wrong?
    FORM KOBED_601.
    If the document is incomplete (Price not on list)then no o/p is created
    IF KOMKBV1-UVPRS NE c_c.
    SY-SUBRC = 4.
    EXIT. "(also tried using RETURN)
    endif.
    *} INSERT
    ENDFORM.
    FORM KOBEV_601.
    *{ INSERT ECDK903987 1
    Falls Verkaufsbeleg vollständig ist, soll Nachricht erzeugt werden
    If the sales document is complete, then the output should be created.
    *} INSERT
    ENDFORM.

    Wait. I think I have figured out part of the problem. The problem is that both the VOFM routine that I have written 603 is executed followed by standard SAP VOFM routine 002. Though I checked that the configuration for the output type that I m using ZBAO has the right VOFM routine number 603 set, it still does execute the Standard SAP VOFM routine 002 after executing my routine, which seems to override the SY-SUBRC = 4 that I have set. If I set the SY-SUBRC = 4 in debug mode in routine 002 then the IDoc doesnt get created.
    Is there a way I can prevent it from executing the standard SAP VOFM routine 002?

  • IDoc Duplication Problem

    Hi All,
    My scenario is File-XI-R/3
    While sending messages, message got stuck in queue and queue stpos
    Question 1: Why does this queue stops?
    Now once I activate the queue, duplicate IDocs are getting created at R/3.
    Could any1 help me out???
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Greg,
    This is a rather strange issue.
    A few questions,
    1. Is it a file to idoc with Idoc Packaging?
    2. Are you sure that you do not have duplicate files/ duplicate records in the file?
    3. Check the message id of your Message in MONI. This same message id will be displayed in the Idoc control record under the details option ( i think. ) Not sure of the exact option but you can see the message id in the Idoc control record in one of the tabs and check if you have the duplication of the message id.

  • Preventing entry duplication in string

    Hello, I have a page of checkboxes.
    When each checkbox is clicked I want a unique value entered
    into a string. The string should build up as multiple checkboxes
    are clicked (the string wil then be submitted to coldfusion for a
    database search).
    I set up the below, however the "+=" operator duplicates
    previous string entries. How can I overcome this duplication ?
    ...or perhaps I have gone about the wrong way to perform this
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    RELEVANT CODE SEGMENT:
    var selections:String = "";
    myCheckboxListener.click = function() {
    if (checkbox1.selected) {
    selections += "tanks";
    if (checkbox2.selected) {
    selections += "aircraft";
    submitbutton.onRelease = function (){
    trace (selections);
    }

    thank you kindly for helping.
    My SWF search page has 30 checkboxes representing photo
    categories.
    I want to submit a selection of photo category keywords to
    coldfusion that will be used to dynamically generate a photo
    gallery based on the users checkbox selections.
    I thought that coldfusion could accept multiple database
    search keywords in a single string ? (perhaps seperated by

  • Preventing photo duplication?

    Can someone please tell me how I can insert photos into a site in CS4 but make it so nobody can copy and paste the photo elsewhere?  I am starting a photography web site and want to ensure the photos can't be duplicated.  Thanks for your time.

    If it shows in a browser - it can be captured. So forget about preventing any and all image downloads becuase that's how the web works - a browser sends a request to a server, the server sends back the HTML/CSS/images and other media, the browser puts it together and renders it to the user and thus the images are actually downloaded to that machine!
    But there are some things that you can do to leave your mark on your work:
    Photoshop a watermark on all your photos - relatively easy to do, can be difficult to remove, may mar your pretty photos.
    Use Flash to present your photos - harder to do, can build in features like super high resolution images with zoom capabilities, screen captures only get a screen-resolution quality image, however Flash movies can be decompiled...
    Just live with the fact that this is the way the web works, enjoy your creative life and make great photos (this can work with either option 1 or 2 or even by itself)
    Of course there's the perfectly fine option of not showing your work online...

  • How to prevent duplication on a column with condition

    Hello everyone,
    I need some advice here. At work, we have an Oracle APEX app that allow user to add new records with the automatic increment decision number based on year and group name.
    Says if they add the first record , group name AA, for year 2012, they get decision number AA 1 2013 as their displayed record casein the report page.
    The second record of AA in 2013 will be AA 2 2013.
    If they add about 20 records , it will be AA 20 2013.
    The first record for 2014 will be AA 1 2014.
    However, recently , we get a user complaint about two records from the same group name have the same decision number.
    When I looked into the history table, and find that the time gap between 2 record is just about 0.1 seconds.
    Besides, we have lookup table that allows admin user to update the Start Sequence number with the restraint that it has to be larger than the max number of the current group name of the current year.
    This Start sequence number and group name is stored together in a table.
    And in some other special case,user can add a duplicate decision number for related record. (this is a new function)
    The current procedure logic to add new record on the application are
    _Get max(decision_number) from record table with chosen Group Name and current year.
    _insert into the record table the new entered record with decision number + 1
    _ update sequence number to the just added decision number.
    So rather than utitlising APEX built-in automatic table modification process, I write a procedure that combine all the three process.
    I run some for loop to continuously execute this procedure, and it seems it can autotically generate new unique decision number with time gap about 0.1 second.
    However, when I increase the number of entry to 200, and let two users run 100 each.
    If the time gap is about 0.01 second, Duplicate decision numbers appear.
    What can I do to prevent the duplication ?
    I cannot just apply a unique constraint here even for all three columns with condition, as it can have duplicate value in some special condition. I don't know much about using lock and its impact.

    Why not using a sequence for populating the decision_number column ?
    Sequence values are guaranteed to be unique so there's no need to lock anything.
    You'll inevitably have gaps and no different groups will have the same decision_number in common.
    Having to deal with consecutive numbers fixations you can proceed as
    with
    case_record as
    (select 2012 decision_year,'AA' group_abbr,1 decision_number from dual union all
    select 2012,'BB',2 from dual union all
    select 2012,'AA',21 from dual union all
    select 2012,'AA',22 from dual union all
    select 2012,'BB',25 from dual union all
    select 2013,'CC',33 from dual union all
    select 2013,'CC',34 from dual union all

  • How can we avoid duplication of records in database while inserting records

    Hi,
    In my scenerio,while inserting the same records through idoc duplication of records is happening in database.How can i avoid this.

    Divya,
    First its a wrong data, because you cannot have the same data for any condition. Probably its a data problem. Please check with the datbase team and ask them why is it so? They should handle on their end.
    Anyways if the above dont work and if you ahve duplicate records then probably you need to come up with a query using select distinct. If this doesnot work then if the duplicates comes into mapping, you might selecting some fields which are common. So you can use a splitbyvalue(on value change) for those records, so even if there are three records it takes only one record. If you have 4 or 5 common values then you can concat them and then use the splitbyvalue change.
    Else an adapter module should help you out in sender comm. channel after picking the records.
    For an idea can you rajs response in this thread:

  • Master Page Duplication

    I have set up a master page spread (see below).
    The pages in my document are always rolling from right hand to left hand and vice versa. Using the master page shown above, I move the page accordingly in the page palette from right to left or left to right and the following happens:
    The items that are no longer connected to the master page (because alts were required) are duplicated. Is there a way to only have one master spread (as opposed to mulitple master pages) and prevent the duplication of information every time a page rolls?

    There are couple fo things you can try but it will lead to layout problem...
    like You can remove the one master page from the master page spread in the pages panel but in that case the text on the bottom of the page (written in red) which has been layed out seperatly on right and left has to be manually adjusted and also margins on left and right which are different would no more be there.
    Second is You are overirding the all master page items , rather then doing this just override the particular component like single text box or single frame using "SHIFT+CTRL"

  • Lightroom 5.5 & Lightroom Mobile (iPhone 5) Sync Issues

    So far I have been having nothing but issues getting Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom 5.5 to sync with one another.  This is admittedly the first time I've tried this since I don't have the iPad version.  I tried a sync yesterday for the first time from my phone and had an import of around 650 images and I had set Lightroom Mobile to sync only over Wifi.  Started syncing ok, but I guess I roamed away from my Wifi for a bit and that completely messed up the sync process.  Not only did it not finish the sync, but it somehow corrupted the app to the point where the entire app had to be deleted from the iPhone 5 and re-installed.
    This seemed to just present more problems for Lightroom.  There appears to be a default album called "iPhone Photos" that seems to never be found again through setup of a new instance of Lightroom.  Instead, I my account is now up to "iPhone Photos 4" now in the count.  In addition, only about 600 of the 650 photos synced up to the cloud and now Lightroom 5.5 for the desktop is stuck with 210 photos left to import and my computer has been sitting like this for close to an hour this morning.  Is there anyway to troubleshoot what is going on or to completely reset one's Lightroom account to start this back to the beginning.  So far this is a very frustrating update for something that sounded so promising to begin with.

    Greule,
    When the sync was interrupted on the iPhone the application suddenly crashed.  I attempted to re-open and was presented with a crash report pop up window that asked me to send a report or not send.  Unfortunately, that pop-up forced the app to shut down.  I then tried a manual force close of the iPhone app, (double click the home button and swipe the app away from memory) and while the app appeared to re-launch itself from scratch, it ended up at that report send pop up and shut down.  In the end, I was forced to go to the data management settings in the iPhone and attempted to delete the data and in the end, I deleted the app and re-downloaded from the app store to fix.
    I did just do the "Delete all Data" from the Desktop preferences and it seems it cleared out the collection that was online.  I tried to setup a new collection with the same name, but it appears that the Lightroom online library is preventing name duplication even when another catalog with the same name no longer exists in the account and ended up with an incremental number increase on the collection name.  Now that the collection is gone, if I try to re-sync with my Photo Library from my iPhone will it act as a traditional Lightroom import where duplicate files are scanned for before import?  Or do I have to manage that?
    To be honest, I was hoping for this to be an advanced replacement of the Photo Stream feature from Apple, but is that what this is supposed to be?

  • Apple Mail shows duplicate message in Sent mailbox - HOW TO FIX IT?

    I have sent a message with Apple Mail 7.3 on Mac with OS X Mavericks 10.9.3, and it shows DUPLICATED in the Sent mailbox of Mail. I mean, two entries with the very same message inside are displayed, yet, as said, I only sent it once! I am using POP.
    Selecting "Mailbox - Rebuild", quitting and opening Mail, repairing permissions with Apple Disk Utility, restarting the Mac, and even resetting the PRAM does not fix it.

  • Space saving from duplicate documents

    If we were to store a lot of dulicate documents in Content DB. Does a programer has to manage it or does content DB has internal mechanisim to detect a duplicate document and conserve storage.

    Hi,
    In general, Content DB provides no out-of-box solution for preventing data duplication system-wide.
    However, a few operations (such a copy) in the repository result in a shared low-level content object - rather than duplicating the content blob (with the repository being smart enough to split back out in to seperate content objects should one of the associated documents be updated).
    With the Content DB Event Handler framework, you could manually detect content duplicates (on doc create/update) by maintaining a hash (e.g. md5) of each piece of content in the repository in an indexed table. You could then potentially issue a repository copy from the original source to replace the duplicated content.

  • How to know data in data moved into GL

    Hi All,
    I have doubt could you clarify it. How can we know that data available in AP and AR is moved into into GL. If Gl_interface is going to act here. How does Gl_interface identify the data. Can you explain me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    pallis

    Hi Pallis,
    the flow of data is like this .....
    Step 1 - Recording of Transaction in AR or AP ...
    System Action - Transaction details are recorded in base tables of specific modules, i.e. for Payables it would get stored in AP related tables and for Receivables it would get stored in AR or RA tables ....
    Step 2 - Transaction recorded in AR or AP is accounted ..
    System Action - When you run the concurrent process of Create accounting from AP or AR, system creates accounting entries for the transactions and these are stored in XLA tables and not in AP or AR tables ....
    Step 3 - Entries transferred to General Ledger ..
    System Action - One should always remember that ONLY ACCOUNTING ENTRIES are transferred from subledger modules such as AP or AR to the GL and not the transaction related information. Hence, the accounting entries that are generated and stored in XLA tables are not transferred to General Ledger by running the concurrent program Transfer entries to General LEdger ...
    When this operation is carried out, system updates a column in XLA table to mark the entries that are transferred to GL, in order to prevent the duplication ....
    So to answer your question ...
    1) So when ever data loads into AP and AR tables simultaneously the data is moved even into XLA tables
    ==> NO, moving the transaction data does not really update XLA tables, these are generated by system automatically and cannot be migrated manually ... this would be generated by running the Create Accounting concurrent program from respective module ...
    2) Is there any column to map with ap and ar tables so that record 1 is from ap and record 2 from ar
    ===> Most of the XLA tables would have a column called Application_Id, this refers to the module from which this accounting entries are generated ... for Payables the application id is 200 and for receivables it is 222 ... these values are system defined hence same for all environments across the globe ...
    3) In GL responsibility I find sources where we select the list of sources and run the import and how can we import 3rd party source journals in Import journals
    ==> If you are importing the entries from standard oracle module such as Payables, Receivables and Assets the source name would be available in the List of values by default, however if you are importing from 3rd party system then you have to define a 3rd party software as a custom source .. only then it would appear in the journal import stage ....
    Third party tool should have created the accounting entries by itself, and only send the accounting data to Oracle General Ledger and not the transaction related information ..... if Oracle is expected to create accounting entries for transactions recorded in 3rd party systems, you have to configure FAH as well .....

  • How to block an email sender?

    I want to block emails from /pinterest/ they do'n have unsubscribe in mails.

    Hi Jugehu,
    If you are using My Connect, you need to go into the Settings, select the Messages tab and then Rules tab as shown in the picture.
    Alternatively, you may like to consider migrating your BigPond mailbox across to the new mail platform hosted on http://outlook.com. We have been migrating customers since February 2012 and customers can opt in at a time of their choosing rather than waiting for the automatic migration to occur.
    Customers can use this link to request the migration but to prevent any issues with this request completing, make sure that the mailbox password meets the new requirements which is between 8-16 characters in length and containing at least one of each character type: lower case, upper case, numerals.
    It is also recommended that any contacts stored within webmail are saved as sometimes are unable to be migrated across. Also, any emails within folders in webmail will be migrated to Outlook.com and placed in the Inbox which will trigger them to be downloaded again. I would recommend cleaning out any unwanted emails from webmail prior to submitting the migration request to prevent further duplication.
    Once migrated, customers may need to log into OneDrive and accept the terms and conditions to complete the process.
    Customers will also need to update each email program with the new settings which can also be found on the previous link.
    One of the main benefits of the new mail platform is that it supports IMAP which means that all of the emails will be synchronised across all devices once configured.
    The status of the mailbox migration can be checked using this link.

  • How Do I Remove Duplicated Songs

    In my iTune library I find a number of songs get duplicated and I did not deliberately place two of the same songs in the same folder. Is there a way to prevent this duplication and remove the duplicates without manually deleting them one by one? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Diane. Yes, that's what I did to view the duplicate files; I tried Dupin and it worked just great. Thanks again for your help. If there's a way to avoid the duplication please let me know.
