Problem : Idoc to File scneario using Party ..!!

Hi ,
lam doing Idoc to file scenario by using party.
Partner type for receiving system is "LS".
1. when I use Party for my sending system , the message is not processing showing error as " No receiver could be determined"
2. When I use the sending system as Without Party and the receiving system as Party,the message is processing.
Questions:
1. We should not use Party for the sender system when the partner type is "LS"??
2. Can we use the Party for my sending system when the partner type is "LI" or "KU".?
If yes, Do i need to do any Identifier settings in communication channels or at Party side like ALE#KU or ALE#LI??
Please clarify the main question whether can i use party for my SAP system when the partner type is "LS" for outbound scenario(Idoc to file).
Waiting for your answers.

Krupakar.

Hi,''
a SLD registration of DUMMY system for every Party
1. We should not use Party for the sender system when the partner type is "LS"??
The only way I know is to make a Dummy system in the SLD with a LS, which I can use in the headermapping of the receiver agreement.
You could use pratner type as LS enven for party, but there no need as such because you could do this as per below steps also
it is not possible to have a logical system within a service, that belongs to a party. Any entries you are doing here, are ignored.
2. Can we use the Party for my sending system when the partner type is "LI" or "KU".?
If yes, Do i need to do any Identifier settings in communication channels or at Party side like ALE#KU or ALE#LI??
Yes you can use the Party for sending system for LI or KU, You difinately need to setup the identifiers for it.
Usually an IDOC which is received from a customer should have a sender type LI or KU.
A workaround for your problem: For each service that belongs to a party create a party-less service with the logical system and do a header mapping. You need not maintain this service in the SLD. Just create a business service.
If the field SNDPRT contains LS, the service is a logical system and the sender party remains blank.
If it is not a logical system, a party is determined by means of the alternative identifiers (for the party). The following are used as identifiers:
·        Agency is the sender service found
·        Scheme is “ALE#“ + SNDPRT. If the field SNDPFC contains a value, the following is added: “#“ + SNDPFC
·        Name is SNDPRN
These values are used to search across all parties. The party that is found is used as the sender party.
For Identifiers go through below link

  • Idoc to File scenario using Party

    Hi All,
               I have to configure Idoc to File scenario .This file needs to be posted in EDI Subsystem .My receiver partner type is LI.That means i need to use Party here.So please let me know the step by step solution to do this.Specially i want to know the configuration in Party Identifier and Receiver Communication channel Identifiers.
    How the control record values from idoc are transferred to EDI File structure and how will XI identify one of the many customers to post the file.
    All valuable suggestions will be rewarded the points.
    Please send me the documents for such scenario with screen shots.

    Hi,
    Let me see if I had you requirement correct.
    When the Idoc is sent from R3, sender partner type is LS and Receiver Partner Type is LI.
    If yes,
    1. Create a Party in ID.
    2. The Agency , Scheme and Identifier will have values,
    Agency --> Receiver Business System name or Business Service Name  to be used for File.
    Scheme --> ALE#LI
    Identiier --> Value of the RCVPRN field in the idoc control Record. Basically the Receiver Partner Name.
    All the Configuration In ID will use this Party as the Receiver Party and the corresponding Service asthe Receiver service.
    No need for a sender party as sender partner is LS.

  • Mapping problem: IDOC - XI - File

    Hi,
    in my scenario (Z-IDOC - XI - File) I have problems with the mapping:
    Z-IDOC :
    ZFIBUCH1
    _IDOC
    ___Begin
    ___EDI_DC40
    ___Z1L061 (0..999999999)
    _____Z1L062 (0..999999999)
    example
    L061 18000 DE 0101 23236318 050605 EUR
    __L062 18000 XXX XXX
    __L062 18000 XX1 CCC3
    L061 87000 DE 0101 050605 EUR
    __L062 87000 XXX XXX
    __L062 87000 XX1 XAA4
    the result should look like this :
    L061 18000 DE 0101 23236318 050605 EUR
    L062 18000 XXX XXX
    L062 18000 XX1 CCC3

    I tried the following  (target)-data types in the mapping but nothing did’nt work very well :
    MT_ZIFUCH_FILE
    __ row
    _____L061
    _______L062
    or
    MT_ZIFUCH_FILE
    __ row
    _____L061
    _____L062
    or
    MT_ZIFUCH_FILE
    _____L061
    _____L062
    Do I need here a BPM? Or should I use XSLT-Mapping??
    Or knows somebody a easyer way?
    Regards
    Christoph

    Hi,
    As per  my understanding to have a flat file struture you would require a flat structure at the target side.One similar to the second structure mentioned by you.
    DT_Target
    |_Header
           |______L61.....segment (child of header)
           |______L62.....segment (child of header)
    Using the mapping we convert the idoc structure to flat structure and then use content conversion like this :
    Recordset structure : L61,L62
    L61.fieldSeparator = ,(for you this value should be space)
    L62.fieldSeparator = ,
    I have not been able to convert the Target hierarchial structure to a flat file via content conversion.
    when i tried I got the values as
    L61,1800,...EUR,L62,8700,......
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Problem IDOC to File scenario:  No service for system SAPIDC, clnt in ID

    in IDOC to File scenario, when IDOCis triggered from R/3 to XI, it gives error in SM58 transaction 
    "No service for system SAPIDC, client 800 in Integration Directory"

    In a scenario, i have a BPM which has a transformation step which contains a mutimapping ...means 2 messages mapped to 1 messgaes, here in the mapping i m using an UDF and written code to extract the file name from dynamic configuration.....
    the problem is ...the same BPM contains another transformation step which contains a message mapping (which is not multi mapping), and here the code (UDF) works to fetch the file name...
    the code is all correct....and it looks like
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)
    container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    String sourceFileName = conf.get(key);
    if (sourceFileName == null ){
         sourceFileName = "ErrorFile.xml";}
    return  sourceFileName;

  • Mapping Problem  ( IDoc to File  )

    Hi,
    I am working on Idoc to file scenario...My input and output structures like below...
    Idoc:
    ZOrderInfo        1----99999
        OrderNumber 0---1
         ZItem       1----99999
         Quantity       0---1
    File:
    Item
       OrderNumber  0-1
       Quantity         0-1
    Problem :  I need to produce Item nodes in output structure based on OrderNumber. like for 4 order numbers in source need to 4 Item segments.
    a) Summation:  If any duplicate Ordernumber comes in picture...we need to omit that and need to take the quantity from that...do summation and send to target.
    like OrderNumber -1...quantity -10 and Ordernumber -1 ....quantity -20
    Need to produce only one ordernumber -1 with the quantity of 10+20 =30.
    b) If the Ordernumber not present in any segment....Need to pass the quantity as is...
    any suggestions would be appreciated.
    -Esha.

    Sunil,
    Note:   In this input Idoc - It has 3 segments, 2 segments have same ordernumber and 1 segment doesn't have order number.
    And I am expecting two Item nodes in output structure - One with quantities summation (500 +500 =1000) for the same order number and One with no ordernumber and quantity as is (600).
    Hope my requirements clear to you! Please help me with the valueable suggestions!

  • Problem : IDoc to file Senario, multiple segments in the IDoc.Intresting !!

    Hello People,
    Just a very good problem, to put your brains work.
    The senario is Idoc to File.
    Now Suppose the structure of IDoc is in such a way.
    segment1 -  fields A, B, C, D --- >> Single
    segment2 - fields E,F            --->> This segment can come multiple times.
    segment3 - fields G, H          -
    >> Single
    segment4 - filds I, J, K          -
    >> Multiple.
    Now the format of the file is Fixed Length.
    The record will be inserted Row wise.
    Let us assume that the number of segments are.
    segment1
    segment2
    segment2
    segment3
    segment4
    segment4
    All segments are at the same level.
    Example of file :-
    A  B  C  D  E1  F1  G H I1  J1 K1
    A  B  C  D  E2  F2  G H I2  J2 K2
    So please let me know, what kind of structure should i create in my repository for the Target and also let me know , the File content Conversion part ..
    Thanks in Advance.
    Harpreet.

    hi,
    Repeat the row for each segment and in the (i)th iteration of the map it to the (i)th segment from the input. Now in your FCC, it will be like writing a normal fixed length conversion.
    For e.g. you target structure will look somewhat like this.
    Document
      Recordset
         Record(i)
           FieldA
           FieldB
           FieldC
           FieldD
           FieldE(i)
           FieldF(i)
    and so on....
    Cheers,
    Sarath.

  • Problem : Idoc to File Senario,overriding the segments in Idoc,on condition

    Hello People,
    Idoc to file senario.
    There are fields in the Idoc which i want to populate, if that particular Idoc is going to XI. Can u tell me how can i check this condition .. ???

    you dnt have control fro r/3 to check if the IDOC is reached to XI then XI creates the file then update few thing...
    make sure the IDOC is reached to XI using the port if IDOC is using some port...but if the file is getting places in server using AL11 you can check that....in your condition you can check if file is exist in the target folder thn update .....insead of checking if IDOC sent to XI--XI creating a file...i doubt you have that flexibility...lets wait for other reply what they have to say?

  • Problem exporting FXG file for use in Flash

    I have a simple rectangle with a 3D-bevel effect built in Illustrator that I need to export as an FXG file for use in Flash.
    When I export from Illustrator to an FXG format, it creates bitmaps and embeds those in the FXG file.
    if  i import directly into Flash CS5 there are transparent gaps (and the  symbols created are very complex), and it warns me that the objects  aren't compatible with flash and they should be converted to bitmaps  first.
    Is there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?
    if  not, and this may be an Illustrator question, is there a way to create  the same kind of effect so that I can get an end FXG object that will  work in Flash?
    An example of what I am seeing is posted here: http://idg-partners.com/flash_issue.html
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?
    Create the bevel edges as separate objects with gradient fills. not sure why you need AI, though. You can do that jsut the same directly in Flash...

  • Alerts-Idoc to File Scenario using BPM

    Dear all,
    At the sender side,I am sending 2 Idoc's orders03,orders04 Idocs I am Merging in to single at my mapping level and sending to the respective receivers.
    When even some error occurs at system level or application level,an alert must be sent to the respective valid receipents.
    My question is,when creating the  Alert Rule how to use the interfaces(orders03,04) (here I have multiple senders).
    Is Alert rule required in BPM scenario's?if not let me know how alerts would be triggered for bpm scenarios.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Hi,
    Let me see if I had you requirement correct.
    When the Idoc is sent from R3, sender partner type is LS and Receiver Partner Type is LI.
    If yes,
    1. Create a Party in ID.
    2. The Agency , Scheme and Identifier will have values,
    Agency --> Receiver Business System name or Business Service Name  to be used for File.
    Scheme --> ALE#LI
    Identiier --> Value of the RCVPRN field in the idoc control Record. Basically the Receiver Partner Name.
    All the Configuration In ID will use this Party as the Receiver Party and the corresponding Service asthe Receiver service.
    No need for a sender party as sender partner is LS.

  • Problem with NFS file adapter using a network share as source of files

    Hello,
    I have set up a sender cc with NFS format file adapter, with at the source directory a network share (
    server\sharename ). The share is on another system and not mapped to a local drivename, but it is open for everybody.
    The problem is, the adapter seems to not pick up the files in the directory, so there must be something I'm overlooking.
    - Both servers run on Windows
    - Share is available normally and open for everybody for all actions (including the SAPServiceSID user)
    - Files themselves are okay. If I put a file on a local drive and make the source directory the local drive instead of the network path, the file gets processed correctly
    - Because of the need for a file completion check, FTP is not an option
    Does anybody know what is going wrong, or what I could check for trace / logging info on possible cause of the problem?

    Hi,
    While using NFS mode you are supposed to put the file on XI server directory NOT to a common share directory of any other machine. And this is the reason your adapter in not picking the file.
    You can upload the file on XI server directory by using the tcode "SXDA_TOOLS", morevere you can check the file on the same directory with tcode "AL11". It is otherway-around, you can first select or chose the dir by AL11 and then put the file in the same dir by tcode SXDA_TOOLS.
    If you need more info about SXDA_TOOLS, let me know.

  • Problems with .dv file captured using Capture Magic HD from Panasonic Cam

    I am trying to capture video from my Panasonic AG-HVX200P Camera using a program called Capture Magic HD, and I want to capture using the Raw DV or M2T Stream file type setting. There is another option of Write DV as Quicktime setting, but takes forever to write. When I get the .dv footage, it has like a rainbow color look to it. Does anybody think that it's the program Capture Magic HD having problems, or my mac?

    My response in these discussions is always, "record to tape." You can solve any issue in post if you have the tape. If you don't have the tape, you're stuck with whatever you decided to try to capture. In many dozens of "capture live" threads we've entertained here over the years, I cna only recall a few where the user was actually satisfied they captured to the drives instead of to tape. All others ended in terrible, totally avoidable disasters.
    But I digress.
    You're saying this application digitizes and writes a separate .m2t file for each of the video source inputs?
    I have never heard of .m2t so I looked these up. the most interesting is that is seems to be a variant of the regular ol' HDV disguised as MPEG2. You might try simply changing the file extension or the Open With setting.
    from the cow:
    Okay, believe it or not, the solution is as simple as this - rename the .m2t to .mpg Ya, that's it. Now try to load it and After Effects has no trouble recognizing it. I'm going to delve into Vegas to see if it can change the extension on files it captures to save a few keystrokes but at least I'm back to editing rather than agonizing over having to render my files to another format before taking them to AE. <</div>

    [Craig Stewart] "the solution is as simple as this - rename the .m2t to .mpg "
    That's not a really terrific solution if you intend to use the footage in AE. Read on:
    Dave's Stock Answer #1:
    If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- Native HDV, MPEG1, MPEG2, mp4, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
    These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
    In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
    So..... just to make sure if I've got this straight:
    You're proposing to change the suffix from .m2t to .mpg..... which is MPEG, yes? A temporally-compressed codec, yes?
    It sounds to me like you'd just be swapping one problem for another.
