Problem in Idoc and PFAL

Hello Gurus,
I have an issue with the transfer of data through IDOC.
When I tried to resend data for a person through PFAL, I couldnt find a specific subtype for infotype 1001 in the subtype coloumn.
I check the data model and the same subtype exists there but it is not appearing in the PFAL transaction.
Also,
We did an LCP upgrade last week so am not sure whether this has any impact on the same.
Could you please let me know how to correct this bug so that I can the subtype I required in the subtype field of the PFAL transaction.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Naveen.

Its Resolved.
Thanks for all the help.

Problem with IDOCS transfer and TRFC

Hi,
when i load data , the load is sucessful but i am getting error at Transfer (IDOCS and TRFC) , This is happening daily .load is sucessful and the data is moving to the target ,but i am unable to understand why this error is being encountered ? does anyone have idea abt why this is happening ?
Regards,
Roja.

hai roja,
Transfer of records takes by Idocs and trfc's between source system and B.w system.u are getting error at transfer idocs and trfcs means that data is still in the source system i.e no transfer takes place due to some error.In details tab u can see that idocs and trfcs are in yellow in colour.click on the scroll down at transfer idocs and trfcs in details,by doing this u can see all the idocs like Request idoc,idoc1,idoc2,.........
see which idoc's are in yellow in colour.
suppose if the idocs are in yellow in color means it indicates that either idoc or trfc are hanging in the b.w side or source system side.
how to process these idocs?.
go to source system and by using the T.code:bd87 u can see all the idocs in the system.if any idocs in bd87 shows some error(i.e in red color),process them by selecting the particular idoc and click on execute process tab which is there on the right hand side.
To process the trfc:
Data transfer into BW takes place via Idoc and as LUW (Logical Unit of work). These LUW`s get transferred as TRFC`s. Sometimes due to any system issue, these TRFCs might get hanged either in the Source system or BW system.
suppose if there is no idoc error means go and check the trfcs in sm58.there u cans ee the trfc states i.e executable and recorded.if the trfcs are in recorded state for a long time means u have to process them.Place the cursor on the TRFC that is to be reprocessed and goto menu Edit --> Execute LUW. Go back to the process monitor screen and give refresh for the data load it can be found in the details tab that the TRFCs were processed and data load would have proceeded to next step.
Hope this helps u...assign points.......

Problem in Idoc creation in ME22N

Hi All,
We are facing a problem in Idoc creation in transaction ME22N.Our requirement is to trigger an output type and create a idoc everytime a change is made to a particular Purchase Order.
Presently however,for some vendors,when we change the plant at the item level,an Idoc is not created(with a message that the changes are not relevant to create an Idoc).Any other change to the Purchase Order like changes in quantity or price,results in successful Idoc creation.
We have also noticed that this happens only in the case of certain vendors.The Customer Info records and vendor data are all believed to be fine.
Are any other config settings required to be maintained for this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nejuma Iqbal

Hi Nejuma,
I don't think there is any problem with cofiguration settings.u r getting the idocs for some vendors .
if iam not wrong u r giving LS in the tcode(we20).The method which u r using is change pointers.As u r using standard idoc all the settings will be done.
Only settings u have to do is
1>generate partner profiles(WE20)
2>Distribute model view(BD64).

HR Programming : Problem with IDOC HRMD_A

Hello ,
We use Idoc HRMD_A for transferring PA records from
one R3 system (ECC5) to another R3 system (46d).
We have a problem - The Idoc doesn't check the data
inserted against the database check tables and
inserts wrong values into the target system database.
(At least that what has happened when we transferred
wrong value of MASSN in 0000 records).
Is there something we can do ?
Maybe - Some flag we can sign in order a check against check tables will be done ?
Is it a problem with this IDOC ?
Thanks .
I appreciate any help.
Nitzan S.

Consultancy note 134085 :
"Ultimately you are responsible for consistency of this data. SAP saves this data directly on the database without checking the single fields and consistency of the data records (time constraints check, writing change pointers, value check) because the consistency for an R/3 - R/3 lingage is of course ensured."
The IDOCs were intended for R3->R3 data replication, and not for data loads/interfacing. Since you're having problems, I'm guessing in addition they require the same SAP version as well.

Problem with IDoc scenario - IDocs do not aarive to XI

Hi guys!
I have a problem with IDoc->XI->File scenario. Colleagues send IDocs from R/3 and they are not in the XI. In R/3 they look like if they were correctly sent, however, I can not see them in sxmb monitor. BUT, when they send them again explicitly from R/3 (t-code WE19), they arrive...
REALLY strange...
Any suggestions?
IDX2 metadata loaded.. I think, all needed settings are done.

Problem in IDOC

Hi,
I am working on IDOC to Mutiple target systems..and the IDOC is extended at the ECC side..and my IDoc extension looks is like this.
ZX/AFS/DELVRY03.
i have imported the idoc succesfully in PI and dragged it to the source message of message mapping after which it looks like this.Z_-AFS_-DELVRY03.
Now When i do my end to end testing, i am getting the weird error as

Hi Prakash,
Yes..You are right."In XI '/' will be represented by _- . So Payload shoudl have _-.".
and this happens automatically..
but why is that failing for my interface..every idoc which come in IDX5 shows the same error.and the other thing is even the inbound message payload gives this error.
The XML page cannot be displayed

Problem in IDoc XML Port Configuration

Hi All,
I'm trying the XML port scenario as per the blog /people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm
The problem is the output XML file contains all the IDocs, not the exact number what we specify in the report RSEOUT00. For example if I specify 5 as Max No.Of IDocs for that report, the output file should have only 5 IDocs and not all which are waiting in the ALE layer. Is that correct? Or am I missing any configuration?
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi Ravi,
I've used the option EDI_PATH_CREATE_DATE_TIME for the filename (Function Module Description). So it should create new files for every execution. Correct?
Actually, I had given the Max IDocs no to 3 (scheduled every hour) and executed 7 Idocs from WE19 expecting 2 files and 1 IDoc in the ALE Queue. But all 7 of them were written to the file.
Thanks,
Joe.

How to encode XML to Idoc and decode Idoc to XML in business connector?

Hi all,
first of all: thanks for all, who are reading and perhaps responding this question!
Here some facts and my question(s):
The facts:
- I have the business connector version 4.6!
- I'm not working with any SAP Netviewer!
- I have XML files on an FTP-server and Idoc-files on an FTP-server --> so no connection between SAP and business connector, meaning: the files are just on the ftp-server!
What am i doing and what is working properly:
- Business connector logs in into the FTP-server (with FTP-service: pub.client.ftp:login)
- gets the file (with FTP-service: pub.client.ftp:get) (the idoc-file, when i want to convert it into XML or the XML-file, when i want to convert it into idoc-format)
- puts the file into another place in the server (with service wm.PartnerMgr.gateway.transport.FTPTransport:OutboundProcess)
!!!So far only getting and putting of the file works!!!
What is missing between getting the file in one format - for example idoc-format - and putting the file into the server in the other format - for example XML-format is:
CONVERSION FROM XML INTO IDOC AND VICE VERSA
My question:
- which services i have to use between getting and putting the files?
Thanks to all,
Tamer

Problem sending IDOC DESADV /AFS/DELVRY03 to XI

Hi Gurus,
I have problems sending IDOCs DESADV (basic type /AFS/DELVRY03) created by function LSEND_IDOC to XI system. IDOC is correctly created by R3 system (AFS ECC 5.0) and correctly sent on the XI port (Status: Data passed to port OK - 03), but XI system doesn't receive IDOC.
If I resend the same IDOC by WE19 tcode goes ok!!
In R3 sending system nothing warnings/errors in syslog or sm58.
Any suggests? Thanks in advance.

Issue solved! It is necessary close the master idoc with a commit

Problem with idoc DEBMAS

Hi everybody.
We have a problem with idoc DEBMAS.
This idoc is sent from R3 to PI throw change pointers then the idoc is field only with the data modified in the master custumer.
We need the information fill it in the segment /IDOC/E1KNA1M/E1KNVVM to determine the receiver determination but this segment is not always sent.
What can be done in R3 to send always this segment.
We dont want to sent the whole data but always this segment.
Any idea???
Thanks a lot!!!!!

Hi,
As E1KNVVM segement is not mandatory, when you are triggering IDoc based on change poitner data might not populted in the E1KNVVM segment until some sales data is changed.
if you need that segement always just copy the Idoc type and make it mandaotry field.
otherwise yoy can populate some fields like STDVRS with the reruried constant and can use in your receiver determination.

Suresh

What is IDOC and ALE?

Hi anybody,
         Please tell me what is IDOC and ALE? What pupose using IDOC and ALE?
          Give me Example sample code of using IDOC and ALE.
Thanks
S.Muthu.

Dear,
Here is some facts which will be helpful to clear yr concepts for ALE/IDOCs.
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)
Ale Technology is SAPs technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
Distributed Process:
A distributed process is one in which part of a business process is carried out on one system and part on another. The two systems would exchange data with each other at appropriate points to stay synchronized.
Need for Distributed Process:
Business in Different Geographical Locations.
Non availability of dedicated network.
Cultural and language differences in Geographical locations.
Running of Mission-critical Applications (Like Maintenance downtime etc.).
Separate up gradation of Modules.
Distributed SAP SYSTEM CHALLENGES
A system that understands the syntax and semantics of the data. It was important from the very beginning to base the distribution of data on business rules, not on database replication techniques.
Distributed systems that can maintain their autonomy while being integrated as one logical SAP system. The systems should be able to operate independently and support logical processing of transactions and data.
Distributed systems that can handle different data models. A local implementation should be able to customize the system to meet its local needs.
Receiving systems that can handle their own problems and not tie up the sending system.
Systems that maintain continued operation in spite of network failure. Changes made to either system should be synchronized after the network connection is restored.
A sound technology and methodology that can be used in all distribution scenarios.
SAP Distributed environment:
ALE allows for efficient and reliable communication between distributed processes across physically separate SAP systems.
ALE is based on application to application integration using messaging architecture. A message defines data that is exchanged between two processes. IDocs are containers that hold data exchanged between the two systems.
Benefits of ALE:
Integration with non-SAP systems: ALE architecture allows third party applications to integrate with SAP system.
Reliable Distribution: Once message type created and the receiver of the message is determined, ALE delivers the message to the recipient. If there is any network problem it will buffer the message and delivers the message once the network is restored. It also ensures that the message is not delivered twice.
Release Upgrade: Any of the distributed system can be upgraded to the new release of SAP without affecting the functionality. The ALE layer ensures backward compatibility of messages exchanged between systems.
ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the
application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Process flow for Distributing Transactional Data:
Transactional data is distributed using two techniques: with Message control and without message control.
Process flow for Distributing Master Data:
Master data between SAP systems is distributed using two techniques: Stand alone Programs and Change Pointers.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Stand-Alone Programs:
Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another. Standard Programs for several master data objects exist in SAP. Ex. The material master data can be transferred using the RBDSEMAT program or transaction BD10.
The stand-alone programs provide a selection screen to specify the objects to be transferred and the receiving system. After the stand-alone program is executed, it calls the IDoc selection program with the specified parameters.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Change Pointers:
The change pointer technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically when master data is created or changed.
A standard program, RBDMIDOC, is scheduled to run on a periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and start the ALE process for distributing the master data to the appropriate destination. The RBDMIDOC program reads the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program for a message type.
Processing in the Application Layer:
The customer distribution model is consulted to make sure that a receiver has been defined for the message to be transmitted. If not, processing ends. If at least one receiver exists, the IDoc selection program reads the master data object from the database and creates a master IDoc from it. The master IDoc is stored in memory. The program then calls the ALE service layer by using the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, passing the master IDoc and the receiver information.
Processing in the ALE Interface Layer:
Processing in the ALE Layer consists of the following steps:
Receiver Determination: The determination of the receiver is done through Customer Distribution Model.
IDoc Filtering: if an IDoc filter is specified in the distribution model for a receiver, values in the filter are compared against the values in the IDoc data records. If a data record does not meet the filter criteria, it is dropped.
Segment Filtering: For each sender and receiver combination, a set of segments that are not required can be filtered out.
Field conversion: Field values in data records are converted by using the conversion rules specified for the segment.
Version change for segments: Segments are version-controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from the preceding version and fields added for the new version. Release in IDoc type field of the partner profile to determine the version of the segment to be generated.
Version change for IDocs: IDocs are also version controlled. The version is determined from the Basic Type field of the partner profile.
Communication IDocs generated: The final IDoc generated for a receiver after all the conversions and filtering operations is the communication IDoc. One master IDoc can have multiple communication IDocs depending on the number of receivers identified and the filter operations performed. IDoc gets the status record with a status code of 01 (IDoc Created).
Syntax check performed: IDoc goes through a syntax check and data integrity validation. If errors found the IDoc get the status of 26 (error during syntax check of IDoc Outbound). If no errors found the IDoc gets the status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch ALE Service).
IDoc dispatched to the communication Layer: In the ALE process, IDocs are dispatched using the asynchronous RFC method, which means that the sending system does not await for data to be received or processed on the destination system. After IDocs have been transferred to the communication layer, they get a status code 01 (Data Passed to Port OK).
Processing in the Communication Layer:
To dispatch an IDoc to a destination system, the system reads the port definition specified in the partner profile to determine the destination system, which is then used to read the RFC destination. The RFC destination contains communication settings to log o to the remote SAP system. The sending system calls the INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS function module asynchronously on the destination system and passes the IDoc data via the memory buffers.
Inbound Process in IDocs:
An inbound process used IDoc structure, posting programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables to post an application document from an IDoc.
Posting Program:
Posting programs, which are implemented as function modules, read data from an IDoc and create an application document from it. A posting program exists for each message. Each posting program is assigned a process code. A process code can point to a function module or a work flow. In the standard program process codes always point to a function module.
Ex. The posting program for message type MATMAS is IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS which has a process code MATM.
Workflow:
A workflow represents a sequence of customized steps to be carried out for a process. The workflow management system is used to model the sequence, identify information required to carry out the steps and identify the person responsible for the dialog steps.
Partner Profile;
A partner profile specifies the components used in an inbound process (partner number, message type, and process code), the mode in which IDocs are processed (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of errors.
Process flow for the Inbound process via a Function Module:
In this process, IDocs are received from another system and passed to the posting function module directly.
1. Processing in the communication Layer:
The IDOC_INBOUND_ASYCHRONOUS program, triggered as a result of an RFC from the sending system, acts as the entry point for all inbound ALE processes. The IDoc to be processed is passed as an input parameter. Control is transferred to the ALE/EDI layer.
2. Processing in the ALE/EDI Interface Layer:
Basic integrity check: A basic integrity check is performed on the control record.
Segment Filtering and conversion: Filtering out unwanted segments and carry out any required conversion of field values.
Creation of Application IDoc: The application IDoc is created and stored in the database and a syntax check is performed. If there are errors it gets status code of 60 (Error during Syntax check of IDoc Inbound). At this point a tangible IDoc, which can be monitored via one of the monitoring transactions, is created and the IDoc gets status code 50 (IDoc Added).
IDoc Marked ready for Dispatch: IDoc gets the status code 64 (IDoc ready to be passed to application).
IDoc is passed to the posting program: The partner profile table is read. If the value of the Processing field is set to Process Immediately, the IDoc is passed to the posting program immediately using the program RBDAPP01.
3. Processing in the Posting Module:
The process code in the partner profile points to a posting module for the specific message in the IDoc. The posting program implemented as a function module either calls a standard SAP transaction by using the Call Transaction command for posting the document or invokes a direct input function module.
The results of execution are passed back via the function modules output parameters. If the posting is successful IDoc gets the status code 53 (Application Document Posted) or it gets status code 51 (Error: Application
How to create idoc?
*WE30 - you can create a IDOC type
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
Create Message Type ( WE81 )
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
Creating a Segment
Go to transaction code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
Type the short text
Enter the variable names and data elements
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set Release
Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type

Problem importing idoc to XI integration repository

I have deleoped a custom IDOC and released in SAP/R3. Next I have imported it to XI using transaction IDX2 without problems.
However, when I try to import the metadata to the integration repository, I can't find it in the list of available IDOcs. I have tried to refresh the catches, and even restartet the XI server, but i doesn't help.
Any suggestions ?

Hi Henrik,
See if these threads help :
importing IDOC in XI for interface mapping
IDOC in IDX2 is not visible in while importing into XI Design Component.
Settings in XI side to receive IDOC from application server
Check this link to know minimum authorizations required for a user to import RFC/Idocs.

Processing of multiple IDocs and their status

Hi guys,
I have a problem with IDoc processing in R/3. I send multiple IDocs into R/3. These are my own IDoc types, and I send them there in a "package". Let's say, I send 5 IDocs of the same type. Each of them has the number, and each of them has the number of the whole set - this means - you know, that this one IDoc is the 1st from the 5, this one is the 3rd, and this one is the last. When they are sent, the processing of them comes... And I have an ABAP program, if the last of them is processed, errors are taken and a new report IDoc is created and sent into external application.
THE PROBLEM IS: the processing of the IDocs is parallel and when the - let's say 4th IDoc processing takes longer time than the 5th processing takes, not all of the errors are taken into the report, because some errors may occur after (the 4th IDoc processing is independent).
Do you have any ideas, how could I solve this problem?
Thanx, Peter

Peter,
Here is my suggestion, the code that actually checks for errors and sends a report IDOC, why can't we put in a check to see if all the IDOC's of a particular set have been processed or not.
How exactly this new report IDOC is being created, there has to be some kind of logic to find out IDOCS that belong to the same set.
Regards,
Ravi
