Problem in ALE configuration

Hi ,
I am doing ALE configuration to transfer the Vendor information from 800 client to 700
client.
In client 800 while I am creating partner function I am getting
error...Could you please help me to resolve.
In "Generate Partner Profile" (in 800 client)
I have given ....
Model View : "VENDMODEL1"
Partner System : IDES_700
Next screen "log for partner profile generation is displayed"
Partner
No error is displayed here...
But in "port"
the following message is displayed....
System IDES_700   : Port could not be created
                    RFC destination IDES_700 not specified for system
ides_700
              Enter the RFC destination and restart the generation
After creating Model view with Sender and Receiver with Message type as CREMAS
what we have to do...
whether we have to distribute it ..
I am getting error log as ...
Targert system IDES_700 : RFC Destination for Synchronous
communication(message type SYNCH)
                  Partner Profile LS IDES_700 SYNCH does not exist
please help me in this regard
With Regards,
Sagar.

Hi,
Please ensure the RFC destination for both logical system (client 800 and 700) are created in SM59.
Also you can add manually message type SYNCH with IDoc type SYNCHRON in the partner profile (WE20) prior to generate partner profile for message type CREMAS via BD64.
Message type SYNCH is a dummy message type for determination of RFC destinations and IDoc type SYNCHRON is a dummy IDoc type for synchronous communication.
You can setup something like this.
Outbound parameter options:
Field          Value
Message type   SYNCH
Receiver port A000000015 (Transactional RFC)
PacketSize     100
Output mode    Transfer IDoc immed.
Basic type     SYNCHRON
Hope this will help.

ALE Configuration HCM - Program read table idoc_structure error

Hello SCN community,
I have small problem with ALE Configuration of HRMD_A message type. I created extension named 'ZRMD_A06'.
When I'm trying to run t-code: bd21 (report RBDMIDOC)
I'm getting following error message:
At the beginning I thought there is problem with segment structure of Z1P2006 of extension 'ZRMD_A06'
I compared segment Z1P2006 with structure 'P2006' in se11 - and it is the same.
Next I checked the bd21 transaction in debug mode.
I figured out that there is error in FM 'RH_MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE_HRMD' in include 'LRHALF10'.
Could you please help me?

Hello,
Thank you all for your help.
I'm writing this post to provide solution for others like me.
To solve this problem you need to apply this sap note:
HR-CA-ALE: Segment Z1Pnnnn prevents distribution
for me:
As of Release 4.6: In the customer enhancement RHALE001, fill the function exit EXIT_SAPLRHA0_004 with the line
F_idoc_control-cimtyp = 'ZRMD_AXX'.
steps:
1. Go to SE37
2. Enter EXIT_SAPLRHA0_004
3. Double click on INCLUDE ZXHALU08 . (in my case)
4. Add to the code this line: F_idoc_control-cimtyp = 'ZRMD_A06'. (ZRMD_A06 - because I called so my custom extension)
5. and have a nice day because you solved this problem!

ALE Configuration Again !!!

Hi All,
I am trying to do ale configuration for idoc to file scenario. I created two RFC connection one for XI system and one for R3 system. Then I created ports for both the RFC. After that I created two Logical system having same name as the two RFC above. But as per the instruction , i should assign client to above logical system. But problem is that the client number ie 030 is already defined to R3 system. My XI system have same client id, so when i am trying to assign client 030 to XI logical system, it is giving as client number is already present. I don;t understand the logic of assigning client to LS.
what should i do here?
Second thing: Can we create more than one logical name for the same system. I asked this because in the RFC list of R3 system, i already have RFC for R3 system , logical name is also present. So can i create another logical system for R3 system?
Ranjeet Singh.

An excerpt from SAP documentation on Logical System Names.
Logical system names must contain capital letters and numbers only. SAP recommends the following naming convention for logical system names: <System-ID>CLNT<Client>. Refer to url
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/00/dc54384ac9a81be10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
SCC4 should already have been set. So I assume that you are creating your logical systems in the IMG to then assign in WE20 (Partner Profiles). As the XI SystemID will be different to your R3 SystemID, CLNT should not be an issue.
If not then please clearly define the issue to include where you want to create the logical system and which way your IDOC will travel. We currently send IDOCs from CRM to XI and vica versa

ALE Configuration for Transactional Data (Purchase Order)

Dear Experts,
I want to configure ALE for Purchase Orders(Transactional Data).
For that:
I have done neccessary Condition Records at NACE with necessary Output Type Configuration. Configured Port and Partner Profile with Message Types: ORDERS and ORDECHG (as Outbound Parametrs) .Assigned those Message Types against defined Sender and the Receiver at Customer Distribution Model . Configured Port and Partner Profile at the Receiver System also.
Now I have 2 queries.
i) Is this much of ALE configuration is enough for Transactional Data for communication between 2 systems or I have to do something more?
ii) For Master Data we configure Change Pointer(we can see field assignments against Change Document Object at BD52 for Master Data Messaage Types) . Is it necessary to configure Change Pointer for Transactional Data or it will autometically handled by the system(field assignments cannot be seen against Change Document Objects at BD52 for Transactional Data Messaage Types)?
Regards
Arnab

Hi kumar,
what Alexander said is absolutely correct .
from your second question no master data distribution configuration is required for the transactional data distribution.
let us know once if you face any problems.

ALE Configuration SET UP

Hi,
I am creating a ALE Scenario with Material Master. I am doing this for the first time. Please tell me whether it is possible to trasfer data from a sandbox(UPG) system to a development system. If this is possible, what are the configuration steps i need to do in bothe the system to trasfer data from sandbox to Development system. thse two systems are physically independent systems.
Thanks
Jiten

Hi Jitendra,
Before you Configure go through this, If you need any clarification contact me.

ALE Scenario Development Guide
To develop a new custom ALE scenario, comprises 5 steps:
1. Design and develop the custom IDoc with its segments and a new message type
2. Configure the ALE environment with the new IDoc and message type (customer model, partner profiles and linking IDoc to message type)
3. Develop the outbound process which does the following:
 Populates the custom IDoc with control info and functional data
 Sends the IDoc to the ALE layer for distribution
 Updates status and handles errors
4. Configure the ALE inbound side (partner profiles with inbound process code)
5. Develop the inbound process which does the following:
 Reads the IDoc into a BDC table; selects other data that is required
 Runs transaction using call transaction or BDC session
 Updates status and handles errors
Below is a pictorial representation of the flow of a complete ALE scenario from the sending system to the receiving system.
Figure 1: ALE Scenario model
1.1. ALE Example
For the purposes of this example we will develop a small ALE scenario. This scenario is described below.
The receiver of an internal service must be able to reverse (cancel) the invoice receipt which will then cancel the applicable billing document automatically on the service providers system.
Figure 2: Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
 Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
 ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
 Development access; and
 ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
 Segment fields
 LIFNR Vendor account number
 XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
 Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
 Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
 Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
 Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
 Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
 Enter a description for your segment type and create
 Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
 Save and generate, press back
 To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
 Check the box on the line of your new segment
 Save, back and enter
 Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
 Save and back
 To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
 Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
 Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
 Click on change icon to enter change mode
 Click on New entries to add a new type
 Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
 Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
 Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
 Click on change icon to enter change mode
 Click on New entries to create the link
 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
 Save and exit
 Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
 Click on change icon to enter change mode
 Click on New entries to create the link
 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
 Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
 Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
 Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
 Click on New entries
 Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
 Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
 Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
 Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
 Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
 For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
 Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
 Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
 Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
 Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
 Create the output partner profile.
 Distribute the customer model
 Specify the name of the customer model.
 You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
 You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
 Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
 The customer model must be maintained.
 RFC destinations must be maintained.
 The customer model must be distributed.
 To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
 populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
 populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
 calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.

3.1. Create Function Module

Figure 5: Inbound processing example code
3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
 Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
 Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
 Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
 Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
 Type in message type as ZINVRV
 Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
 Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
 Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
 Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
 Click on New entries
 Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
 Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
 Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
 Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
 Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
 Choose Inbound with ALE service
 Choose Processing with function module
 Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
 Click on New Entries
 Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
 Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
 Enter your process code ZINR
 Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
 Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
 Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
 Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
 Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
 Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
 Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
 Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
 Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
 Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.

Thanks.

Problem in ALE inbound With process code

i want to give a function module to the in bound process code in transaction WE42 but i am not able to give the function module name .after giving the function module name if i say save system giving message "The ALE table is not yet maintained for process code ZTEST".

Hi,
This are the steps which involoves the Idoc processing .

Homogeneous System Copy - Remaining ALE Configuration

We made a system copy of an R/3 HR productive system to a new server for testing purpose. The system copy was made with a backup / restore procedure. Now, the new server in online and is working fine. The problem starts when we want to make the accounting payroll. This process needs financial data from R/3 Finance system via ALE to make the accounting. So we decided to connect this new test system with our R/3 Finance QAS system, via ALE, to make possible the extraction of the data needed.
When running the accounting payroll process, we get the following error: "RFC Destination is not maintained for object BUS6004 and method check" and the accounting is canceled. We noticed that the system is trying to use a RFC which its destination is R/3 HR Productive system. Obviously, we deleted the RFC connection pointing to the real productive system to prevent any damages. Also, we checked the ALE configuration and everything is OK (Transactions: BD97, WE20, WE21). But, when we checked the consistency of the ALE configuration, in transaction BDM5, we noticed that there is another ALE configuration defined, which is pointing to the R/3 HR Productive system. It seems that the system copy brings all the definitions of the ALE configurations that were defined in the original R/3 HR productive system. However, this new system is using these settings for connecting via ALE. There is a way to delete or disable these old settings defined in this new system? When making a system copy, there is a way to avoid copying the ALE configurations defined in the source system?

You have some options here ie after system copy
- Before starting the background process (ie #rdisp/wp_no_btc)
- Start SAP system, execute sm59 and append to all the <destination/target> with <destinaion/target>_no connect for each RFC. This way the connections won't happen
- Save
- Stop SAP
- remove # frm rdisp/wp_no_btc
- Restart SAP
whenever you want to try a connection then will remove the _NOCONNECT and it connect
or
you have a table RFCDES, which can be disabled (i haven't tried this).
Cheers

Issue with ALE configuration for creating the idoc for Purchase orders

Hello,
I am trying to send the purchase order through message type configuration using ALE.
I am using idoc ORDERS05, message ORDERS, Process Code in Partner profile ME10.
In NACE transaction for the Application EF, Output Type NEU the ALE Configuration is done for Program RSNASTED Form ALE_PROCESSING.
I have done ALE distribution using BD64.
Now the problem is that when an order is created or changed in the message output of the PO I am seeing the status as yellow i.e.not processed.
In NAST table, the entry is there but on executing RSNAST00 nothing happens.
Please provide me the pointers to solve the given problem.
Regards,
Mayank

Hi,
Guess it looks like the output is getting proposed but its not getting processed. Check the output type configuration. Check the TIme Settings in the output type configuration.
It is possible to set the Time when the output must be processed. Is it on SAVE or is it set to other settings. If its set to via background job then the background job must be run to process the output types.
Check and let me know if all is fine at the output type configuration.
Cheers

Please read my problem when I configure Weblogic https

I want to use https protocol and SSL for my web application in Weblogic
I have a problem but I am not sure it's related to configuring Weblogic or not please if you can advice me
I use "openssl" to be my own Certificate Authority (CA)
I used this instructions for using openssl [http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/be-your-own-ca/]
after configuring openssl I used these steps for creating my keystore
1. First I use this keytool for creating my private key and public key
keytool -genkeypair -keyalg rsa -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120 -alias ali_alias
What is your first and last name?
[Unknown]: AliKhosravi
What is the name of your organizational unit?
[Unknown]: Boors
What is the name of your organization?
[Unknown]: software
What is the name of your City or Locality?
[Unknown]: Tehranali_keytool.jks
What is the name of your State or Province?
[Unknown]: Tehran_Province
What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
[Unknown]: IR
Is CN=AliKhosravi, OU=Boors, O=software, L=Tehran, ST=Tehran_Province, C=IR correct?
[no]: y
2. I create my CSR by this command
keytool -certreq -alias ali_alias -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120 -file ali_keytool.csr
3. I sign the ali_keytool.csr by openssl . I do it like this :
openssl x509 -req -in ali_keytool.csr -CA certs/myca.crt -CAkey private/myca.key -out ali_keytool.crt -days 365 -CAcreateserial -CAserial my_ca.seq
4.Now my I have a signed certificate (ali_keytool.crt) and my CA certificate (myca.crt)
and I import CA certificate to my keystore
keytool -import -alias Openssl_ca -file myca.crt -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120
5. I import the signed certificate into my keystore by alias of private key
keytool -import -alias ali_alias -file ali_keytool.crt -keystore ali_keytool.jks -storepass ali120
6. I import the CA certificate again into a new keystore for creating Trust
keytool -import -alias my_ca -file myca.crt -keystore ali_keytool_trust.jks -storepass ali120
All steps done without any errors
I used this address for help [http://www.startux.de/java/44-dealing-with-java-keystores]
Now I want to configure kestores ans ssl in Weblogic
7. I go to the Environment-->Servers-->AdminServer-->Keystore tab in wblogic
8. I set "Keystores=Custom Identity and Custom Trust", "Custom Identity Keystore = H:\trust\ali_keytool.jks" , "Custom Identity Keystore Type=jks" ,
"Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase:ali120"
"Confirm Custom Identity Keystore Passphrase=ali120"
"Custom Trust Keystore=H:\trust\ali_keytool_trust.jks" , "Custom Trust Keystore Type=jks" ,
"Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase=ali120" , "Confirm Custom Trust Keystore Passphrase=ali120"
9. Then I go to SSL tab and I set "Identity and Trust Locations=Keystores" , "Private Key Alias=ali_alias" ,"Private Key Passphrase=ali120",
"Confirm Private Key Passphrase=ali120"
10. I go to the General tab and select "SSL Listen Port Enabled"
11. I user Firefox as WebBrowser so I configure my Browser I select Tools-->Options-->ViewCertificates --> Authorities tab
and I import the server certificate here is "myca.crt the openssl certificate"
in Downloading Certificate window I select
"Trust this CA to identify web sites"
"Trust this CA to identify email users"
"Trust this CA to identify software developers"
12. I restart Weblogic
13. I try to loging in weblogic like this "https://127.0.0.1:7002/console"
The webBroser show me this warning:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to 127.0.0.1:7002, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
Technical Details
I Understand the Risks
I don't know why the WebBrowser show me this warning while I imported the Server Certificate
I don't know that my problem is in configuring WebLogic or FireFox WebBrowser or Keystore
If you know please advice me
Thanks

Single Transaction code for ALE Configuration

Hi All,
I want to Know is there any Single Transaction code for the ALE Configuration instead of going through SALE, WEDI t-code or with defining logical systems assigning them to clients, creating RFC and Distribution Model, generate partner function and..so on.
Please let me know if there is any t-code through which i can do the ALE configuration in a single T-code.
Thanking you in advance,
Bhanu

hi ars
i got a task saying that message type is DESADV01 ,but u told that DESADV01
is basic type,can i know the difference.

ALE Configurations?

Hi All,
Currently i'm working on the following requirements. we are using TIBCO system as a middleware tool and it will ceate an IDOC which needs to be directed to R/3 system. As we have already imported the IDOC to the TIBCO system and then it will fetch the data from non-SAP system and creates the IDOC and sends it to R/3 system? I've done the following ALE configurations but got the error message as 56..."Partner profile is not define".
I've done the following ALE configurations at R/3 side.
1. Created a logical system and RFC destination for TIBCO.
2. created a TRFC port.
3. Create a Partner profile and linked the TRFC port.
4. posted an IDOC from WE19.
but when i checked the status of IDOC in WE02 its displaying an warning message with status code 56 "Partner profile is not define". and i think no need to do any ALE Configuration at sender side since the sender system is TIBCO.
pls correct me if i'm wrong. as one of my colleage suugested me to create FIle port instead of TRFC port?
regards
Faisal

ALE Configurations in File to IDOC Scenario

Hi All,
We are doing File to IDOC Scenario.
ALE Configurations done:
R/3 Side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to XI.
2. Created port in R/3(using automatically generated port name) and assigned the RFC dest created above.
3. Created partner profile and assigned the ports to the message types.
4. Created Logical system
XI side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to r/3.
2. Created port using IDX1 transaction with port name starting with SAP<SID> and assigned the RFC dest created above. (SID of XI)
3. Unable to load metadata in XI.
Now we are unable to test the scenario as it provides an error message in MONI as "Error: Transaction IDX1: Port SAP<SID>, client , RFC destination contain errors".
Also Let me know whether the steps mentioned above are correct for the scenario.

Nithiyanandam

Problem on the configuration about creating an SPN for your CMS on a Window

I have some problem on the configuration about creating an SPN for your CMS on a Windows 2003 domain
My Environment:
Domain Controller and AD Server :SV01
Crystal Report Server: SV07
Domain Name: SVG.NTT.LOCAL
I created a domain user "BOUSER" in SV01
When type the following command in the SV01, it have not any response.
"SETSPN.exe u2013A BOBJCentralMS/SV07.SVG.NTT.LOCAL BOUSER"
And i cannot find the "Delagation" tab in the domain user property window.
Have any wrong in the command ?

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your reply.
We used Tomcat and MySQL database.
I have only integrating with AD and requiring manual logon.
I had created a bscLogin.conf file and krb5.ini file
krb5.ini file:
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DNS.COM
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
[realms]
DNS.COM = {
    kdc = SV01.SVG.NTT.LOCAL
    default_domain = SVG.NTT.LOCAL
bscLogin.conf file
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
And insert the following two lines in Tomcat's Java Tab
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\WINDOWS\bscLogin.conf
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\WINDOWS\krb5.ini
I also set Serivice Principal Name "bouser FQDN" in Crystal Report Server.
We can login in Central Management Console with our domain user.
But When we logon in InfoView with our domain user account.
It display the following error:
"Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again."
Any step i missed ?
