Problem converting Integration Process to ALE logical system(acknowledgmen)

Hello,
I have a scenario where a sender SAP system sends an IDoc via an Interface Mapping to an Integration Process.
This worked perfectly fine on our development environment, but after transporting the scenario to our quality systems I got the following acknowledgement error:
Unable to convert the sender service <i>name of integration process</i> to an ALE logical system.
What could be the reason for this? We have a logical system on the sender SAP system set up for the XI system itself but not for the Integration Process.
We also use SYSTAT IDocs and there we set the the logical sender system name to the logical system for SAP XI and not for the integration process.
Is this also necessary for acknowledgements? Where could this be done. Strange thing is that it works perfectly fine on our development environment.

I raised the same question a few months back.Answer to this question is in the same thread.
Idoc Acknowledgements - Logical System Name
You will have to select option "Restore Original Parties for Idoc Acknowledgments " in the Acknowledgment Idoc adapter.

ALE logical systems for business service or process

Hi,
I am trying to send an IDOC into my R/3 system. It is the same IDOC type that I have sucessfully sent out to parties. All the config is in place for communicating with the system, because I have sent others IDOCs in the past. However, they always were sent from another R/3 business system. They processed sucessfully.
I am now trying to sending IDOC's from a BPM,as well as, from a business service. They are under the "With Party" section of the directory. These obviously do not have logical systems, so when I try to send the IDOC I get
"Unable to convert the sender service Purchase_Orders to an ALE logical system", where purchase_Orders being the name of the business serice.
How can I handle this problem?
Should I hard code values somewhere?
Which ones?
I have read the other posts for the error above, but my situation seems to be different.
Help!
Chris

Hi,
To solve your problem, here my solution:
1/ In your Business Process of your ID (configurator), go to menu "Service > Adapter-specific identifier" and in the part "IDoc Adapter", write your Logical System.
2/ Create this Logical System on your target system (R/3).
WARNING: XI allows you to used a Logical System for only one service (Business Process). Thus, if you are several interfaces, you must used different Logical Systems.

Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system

Hello,
file adapter > XI 3.0 > Idoc adapter > r/3 system
In sxmb_moni I receive "Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system".
In we05 in r/3 system no Idocs are arrving. I have no problem with idoc > XI > idoc scenario to this same r/3 system (using same sld business system)
I read other topics on this error but it seems they all talk about an IDOC outbound interface.
What should I check?
Thanks

Unable to convert the sender service PPG to an ALE logical system

Hello all,
maybe anybody can help or give me further information.
I have set up a scenario to send IDOC from a business system ( ERP ) to a business service ( EXT ).
Receiver is a linux system so I use the FTP-FILE adapter as communication channel.
The send-process is so far ok.
Here my tests:
1) exclude the specific IDOC in IDXNOALE table ( means no technical acknowledgment for this IDOC )
     result :
     a) message in SXMB_MONI:   status-flag: processed,   acknowledgment-flag: not in use
     b) message in RWB-Monitor: Sender ERP -->   Receiver EXT   ok
2) But I would like to have a system status.....   here now the problem
    add specific IDOC into IDXNOALE table   ( for request acknowledgments )
    result:
    a) message in SXMB_MONI: status-flag: processed,   acknowledgment-flag:   acknowledgment not possible
                                               --> error message: unable to convert the sender service EXT to an ALE logical system
    b) message in RWB-Monitor: there are now two message,
         first:        Sender ERP -->   Receiver EXT   =   ok
         second:   Sender EXT --->   Receiver ERP =   system error
                         Receiver-Interface is : http/ww.ahlstrom.com/EXT/ MI_IN
   3) furhter tests:
        a) change FTP apdapter channel ( put some wrong settings )
              message in SXMB_MONI:   status-flag: processed,   acknowledgment-flag:   contains system errors
              message in RWB-Monitor 3 messages ( one ok, and two error messages )
         b) changed only the receiver communication channel to HTTP ( other extisting scenario )
              then the acknowledgment works fine wihout errors.
              I'm wondering, but here Receiver-Interface is:   http://sap.com/xi/xI/Message/30/Acknowledgment
Summary: The process works, but strange:
                  message in SXMB_MONI: unable to convert the sender service EXT to an ALE logical system
                  message in RWB: system error
                  No problems with HTTP adapter

Hi,
Addition to the above said by Udo...
for routing the ack back to the sender system you need to create communication channel of type idoc with name as Ack.....

Unable to convert the sender service ABC_Service to an ALE logical system

Hi,
I have a JMS (Party) --> PI --> IDOC scenario.
Party: ABC_Party
Service: ABC_Service
I am getting the error Unable to convert the sender service ABC_Service to an ALE logical system when I test the scenario using RWB -> Component Monitoring -> Integration Engine -> Test Message.
I have already done the below settings:
1) Defined Header Mapping in Receiver Agreement for IDOC (Sender Party, Sender Service and even Receiver Service are specified)
2) Business Component (ABC_Service) -> Adapter Specific Identifiers -> mentioned details for SAP (IDOC) system.
The scenario works perfectly fine for a party-less communication JMS -> PI -> IDOC
Have already seen:

Thank you,

You need to create party if its a B2B scenario
Under Identifiers
under agency select any standard agency , scheme name will automatical;ly get populated and name you can give manually as sender name

Unable to convert sender service BPM_Name to an ALE logical System

Hello ,
While sending from BPM to R/3 ( IDOC) i am getting the following error :
"Unable to convert sender service <BPM_Name> to an ALE logical system"
Please kindly advice,
Reddy

Hi Bujji,
I just remembered that you have to maintain your adapter specific parameters for your business process. The side effect however is that you have to define the business process name as logical system in your receiving SAP system and that you have to maintain partner profile settings.
The answer to your question is there in this Blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/xi-error--unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system
If the above solution doesnot work.....
You can also try this, don't enter the "adapter specific settings" on the Integration Process. Instead enter a "Header Mapping" Sender Service in the Receiver Agreement. this should be the real sending system.
When you enter "adapter specific settings" in a BPM, the receiving SAP systems ALE layer thinks the sending system is your BPM - using the method discussed here we are overriding that so that ALE see's that its communicating with the real sending system.
I hope it helps....
Regards,
Abhy

Unable to convert the sender service insertgoods to an ALE logical system

Hi ,
I am trying to send an IDOC to sap system through XI BPM . But I am getting error as "Unable to convert the sender service insertgoods to an ALE logical system"
To rectify this error, I selected the integration process in integration directory and in (services---adapter specific properties I gave the logical system name as "LS" . Now i do not get any error in XI but idoc failed in SAP with error as "Partner profile not available "
Please advice .
Thanks & Regards,
Suvarna

Hi Suvarna
I have done this type scenarios using A2A and BPM also. I got success.
Here what i mean to say , forget about your integration process for a while.
For example you are sending a vendor file from System1 to a SAP System (IDOC). Here that file send by sender should be converted into IDOC.
So during the configuration of SLD for Sender system ,we should give logical system (any name) for Business System.
That logical system should be created in SAP system in (SALE tcode).Then you can't get that <b>"Unable to convert the sender service"</b>error.
For integration process no need to assign any logical system , leave it blank.
If you have any doubt you please call me on my mobile or give me your mail id I will forward the document which i have done.
thanks

Regarding Error: Unable to Convert Sender System to ALE Logical System

Hi friends,
in File to IDoc scenario, i created a sender business system called bs_filetoidoc_send based on Standalone technical system and a receiver business system based on ABAP r/3 system. in my SAP IDES system which is dual stack (abap+java), XI client is 001 (LS: devclnt001) and r/3 client is 800 (LS: t90clnt090) i.e i'm posting idoc to t90clnt090.
I tried to send a text file. but while processing xml message in XI, i got an error saying "Unable to Convert Sender System to ALE Logical System".
then i searched the blogs and forum and found the solution. it was saying LS name was not assigned to BS bs_filetoidoc_send. so i went to SLD and tried to assign LS devclnt001 to my sender BS bs_filetoidoc_send, but got an error saying that "A business system with LS devclnt001 already exists". when i checked which is that BS, it is supposed to be the INTEGRATION SERVER itself with BS name INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV.
then i configured my sender BS as INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV itself which picked up the text file successfully and also receiver abap server received the IDOC with correct data and format with status 51. so scenario worked fine when i used my sender BS as INTEGRATION SERVER itself.
please clear my following doubts which arose after this scenario.
1) why the scenario didn't work when I used only standalone sender business system?
2) why should we assign a LS name of XI server to sender business system only in this scenario?
scenario worked according to my requirement, but using integration server itself as a sender BS confused though.
Many Thanks.

1) I can create any no of LS names using SALE
Yes you can create.
> 2) But I can assign a client to any one of those LS names (or 1 client will have only one LS name associated with it)
One Client will have one LS associated to it...and that can be any one of the LS..created.. use SCC4 to find the associated Ls for all the clients of a system
3) So anyways INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV has to associated with the client 001 only, so finally I have to use INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV only as my sender BS. Probleum is that I can't remove the LS name DEVCLNT001 from INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV and assign it to bs_filetoidoc_send BS right. If I do so, I think I would get an error saying that INTEGRATION_SERVER_DEV is not associated with the LS name of client 001.
As the logical system defined in Partner profile is expected to arrive in Control record of IDoc..it should be passed in that...
Did u checked this blog../people/rajeshkumar.pasupula/blog/2009/03/16/unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system so as per you need the explaination in the blog need to associate the logical system name .

Receiver service ??? cannot be converted into an ALE logical system

Hi,
I am hoping for some help with an Idoc issue in XI version 3.0. The scenario is like this:
Flat file->File adapter->XI->Idoc adapter->R/3
I have configured a scenario in one system like this that works fine. But in the current system I am getting the error message "Receiver service ??? cannot be converted into an ALE logical system" from the Idoc adapter.
As it is XI 3.0, I have set the Agency and Scheme in the destination communication channel to <Service>, ALE#LS and in the destination party, I have created a alternative identifier <Service>, ALE#LS, SYSCLNT200.
I have configured an ALE logical system name in the SLD.
I have cleared the SLD cache in the integration builder.
The ALE logical system name was not in the SLD when the message first appeared, but I thought clearing the cache would fix that. I have not tried deleting the service and re creating it. That is my next step....if all else fails.
Not sure what else I haven't tried.
Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks Sam Raju for the reply.
On your questions:
1. I checked IDX1 - port for the receiving R/3 is defined as SAPIR1_300 (port: SAPIR1 and Client: 300) and it is mapped to RFC destination of IR1300.
2. Checked RFC destination IR1300 - it is setup as R/3 connection and checked test connection and remote login and both are working fine
3. Checked IDX5 - did find one message (status is successful) corresponding to the file I am sending into R/3 and this entry is an Outbound entry.
Question: Should there be two entries here in IDX5 - one for inbound and the other for outbound?
May be I am doing something wrong here in setting up the interface mapping and endpoints. Anyway when I check the IDOCOutbound in the Soap Header, I see the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:IDocOutbound xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/exchange/MessageFormat/">
<SAP:TABNAM>EDI_DC40</SAP:TABNAM>
<SAP:MANDT>100</SAP:MANDT>
<SAP:DOCNUM>0000000000008002</SAP:DOCNUM>
<SAP:DIRECT>2</SAP:DIRECT>
<SAP:IDOCTYP>FLIGHT_SAVEREPLICA01</SAP:IDOCTYP>
<SAP:MESTYP>FLIGHT_SAVEREPLICA</SAP:MESTYP>
<SAP:SNDPOR>SAPBXI</SAP:SNDPOR>
<SAP:SNDPRN>PRISM</SAP:SNDPRN>
<SAP:SNDPRT>LS</SAP:SNDPRT>
<SAP:RCVPOR>SAPIR1</SAP:RCVPOR>
<SAP:RCVPRN>IR1CLNT300</SAP:RCVPRN>
<SAP:RCVPRT>LS</SAP:RCVPRT>
</SAP:IDocOutbound>
Do you see anything wrong or missing here. SNDPOR is XI port, SNDPRN is the source partner (file) and RCV... information is all the receiving R/3.
I am suspecting that something is missing either here or in the endpoint setup.
Also, in the TechnicalRouting I have this:
- <SAP:address version="20">
<SAP:systemKey>IR1CLNT300</SAP:systemKey>
<SAP:endpointType>IDOC</SAP:endpointType>
<SAP:url>IDOC://SAPIR1?RFCDEST=IR1300&DOCREL=&VERSION=3&SAPREL=46C</SAP:url>
</SAP:address>
Any issues you see here in url?
Also, when I look on the XI server, I do not see these files deposited anywhere- so they are going somewhere (as the status in IDX5 is successful)!
Do I need to activate any queues or triggers anywhere.
Can you please offer advice and help us out.
Thanks again.

Unable to convert sender service(BPM) to an ALE logical system

Hi All,
I am working on simple File to File Scenario where XI picks the File and process thru BPM and sends the file to R/3 Application server and wait for SYSTAT STATUS IDoc for the acknowledgement from R/3 System.
My scenario is working fine by receiving the STATUS IDoc and closing the BPM instance.
But later I am getting System error message as below:
Unable to convert sender service (BPM) to an ALE logical system
Any clues in this case?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sudha.

Hi Rajesh,
1. I am receiving the file into BPM and after validation Iu2019m splitting the file into multiple files.
2. Each split file sent to R/3 Application Server(by activating the correlation with the filename)
3. BPM will wait for SYSTAT STATUS IDoc (by using correlation with the filename) from R/3 System
    for acknowledgement purpose. After receiving the respective STATUS IDoc (with the filename) then
    BPM will close the instance.
4. If the STATUS IDoc not received with in specified duration an alert will raise and close the BPM
    instance.
   So we are not sending the STATUS IDoc data to Sender system.
Regards
Sudha.

Once again: Unable to convert sender service to an ALE logical system

Hi,
I know there's a lot of threads regarding that error but I didn't find one that fits to our current scenario:
IDoc -> XI -> File
We have checked if the logical system name in SALE (of sending system) fits to the one in the business system and it does now.
It didn't fit at first but we've changed it in the SLD and reimported the business system.
We still get the same message:
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_INV_SND_SERV</SAP:Code>
<SAP:Stack>Unable to convert sender service to an ALE logical system</SAP:Stack>
There is no logical system entered in the receiver business system. Do we need that? But of which logical system?
Thanks for any advice
Karsten

Hi,
Acknowledgments
Receiver adapters that run on the Adapter Engine support system acknowledgments if they are requested by the sender.( Ex : Idoc----File). Here by default Idoc has the inbuilt feature of requesting the Ack.
Acknowledgments are triggered when a message is successfully processed by the adapter or if an error occurs while it is being processed. Receiver adapters do not support application acknowledgments.
Sender adapters of the Adapter Engine do not request any acknowledgments

Unable to convert the service as an ALE logical system

nHi to All..
I'm facing a problem in one scenario IDOC to RNIF. I got this problem "Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system. In that Interface is working properly but the thing is Acknowledgement is showing error and when I was triggring the IDOC from ECC at the time message Data Receiving successfully but coming to Acknowledgement Am getting ERROR. Any one can please do the needful for this.
Note:- Sender is Business system and Receiver is Business Service
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas

Hi srini
Receiver System is SEND the acknowledge to ECC here only we are facing the problem
help me uderstand correctly ...
your asyn interface is ECC(sender)-to- Bservice receiver .(works fine)
now Bservice (sends an ACK)- to -ECC (receiver) - do u have other asyn interface for this .. must be.
if not this means you are trying out sync scenario in which you are expecting the ack to go back to ECC syn (which i think not possible or u need to use BPM as the idoc interface will be always asyn).
try giving the LS name in the Bservice , not in the Bsystem as you mentioned.or
open your receiver agreement and select header mapping - Sender service
choose your PI's business system

Srinivas

ERROR" unable to convert the service as an ALE logical system"

Hello All,
In SOAP to IDOC scenario I tested the webservice with the client tool. Its hitting the integration engine but its throwing up an error" unable to convert the service as an ALE logical system". How can I maintain a logical system for a service as its outside our landscape. Can any one let me know how to proceed with this.
Looking forward to expert comments.
