hi,
i am a beginner in XI. now am following the link given below.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e07dcaa0-a92b-2a10-3a96-b3d942bd1539
Topic: A Step-by-Step Guide on IDoc-to-File Using Business Service in the XI Integration Directory
i don't know how to Import S/W Component and IDoc structure.
my doubt is what should i select from the populated list.
plz help me.
thanks in advance

hi,
Please follow below steps assuming that the Software component is properly created in SLD.
1. open Integration Repository (IR)
2. Goto ---> Tools -
> Trasfer SWCV from SLD
3. Select the Software Component from the pop-up list
4. Press Import
5. It will import the software component in IR
6. Save it and activate.
7. If its for SAP system then give RFC details in SWC
8. Create Namespace in it and save and activate
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9c/7a973ca83a4601e10000000a114084/content.htm
Now it will be ready for further Development.
For importing an idoc structure...
go to imported objects and right click there and select import  iDOCs and there give your application system details.This is the way to import your IDOc structure.
Thanks,
Vijaya.

  • Problem when calling the RFC and IDoc adapter at the same time

    Hi,
    I'm having a major slowdown problem with XI3.0 SP11.
    When I'm sending a message(IDoc) from R/3 into XI to get translated into an EDI document, I have no problems and it's very fast.  RFC calls are very fast too.
    Now, if I'm sending the same message and at the same time another call is done trough the RFC adapter, then the full XI environment hangs for several minutes.
    I did all recommended settings from the XI-SR1 install guide(Configuring the J2EE Engine) and tuning guide (XI Configuration Parameters)
    and I don't know what to do more?   At the Unix level, command TOP shows that dw.sap.XDV_DVEBMGS70 is taking all the CPU% available when both messages(IDoc and RFC) are sent to XI at the same time.
    Anybody have an idea what to do next?
    Rgds,
    Yves

    Did you check the dev_rfc logs ? Also check SM21 for any errors. Logon to the Target System and check SM50 transaction then you will know whats going on.

  • Regarding rfc and idoc sender

    hi
       can any one provide me with some scenarios having
    idoc and rfc as senders.

    Hi
    To Configure the RFC to FILE scenario ,Proceed as Follows
    a.       Create an RFC Destination to XI in transaction code  (SM59)
    b.       Create new destination of type T (TCP/IP)
    c.       Make sure you select Registered Server Program option before writing your program ID
    d.       Write you program ID (remember it's case-sensitive)
    e.       In the gateway host and gateway service write the values of your Application system - business system (not the XI server)
                 Step2:Repository
    1)       From the Integration Builder page, select “Integration Repository”. This will launch the Java Web Start Application. Log with the User id and password from the  Integration Server
    2)       Choose Tools->Transfer from System Landscape Directory->Import Software Component Versions
             From the list of Software Component Versions, Choose your own software component version .Click Import.
    3)       On the left hand side frame ,software components will appear .Select your own software component. Open your own software component. Double click on this  software component. A screen will appear .Switch to display mode. After doing this first add  a namespace under Namespaces.
             The namespace is ur:rfctofile
    4)       Then choose the Radio Button ->Import of RFC AND IDOC interfaces from SAP systems permitted
             After this specify the connection parameters to the R/3 system:
    4.1)     System IS  :sapfox
    4.2)     Client IS :800
             Then Save it. The new namespace will be visible under software component version node in the left frame.
             Under the namespace node,  you will find the section Imported Objects. Right click on it and choose Import of sap objects. A wizard will display. In the wizard provide the following details.
    4.3)     Application server:172.25.5.7
    4.4)     System number: 00
    4.5)     User name:developer
    4.6)     Password: Password of Sap R/3 system.
             Then click continue .You will find IDOC and RFC node. Click on this node and select the   Idoc or Rfc which is to be imported from R/3. Click Finish to start the Import. Close the wizard. After doing this the   Rfc and  Idoc will be available into XI as Message types. So no need to create any Rfc or Idoc Structure. We need to create a structure for file only.
    5).      Under your namespace in the left frame, expand the node “Interface objects”. You will find a node “DATA TYPES”
    6)        Create new data types.
    6.1)      Right click on “Data types” and select “New”.
               Your  Data Type is. dt_file
              In the data type Editor ,Create a structure having Elements of type String  ,  integer,  Boolean , Float etc as per the requirement.
              Save the object.
    6.2)      The Import function for XSD  files enables you to upload message definitions from external sources. The object type “External Definition” is a container to make external definitions available in the Integration Repository.. While Importing the XSD files from “External Definition
              no need to create Data types. They are imported directly as Message types.
    6.3)      To do so, In the left hand frame  Under  ” Interface objects” Create a new object of type “External Definition” and give name to it.
              Select the following.
    6.3.1)    Category: XSD.
    6.3.2)    Messages: From All Available Global Elements.
    6.3.3)    File:
              Once the XSD is imported, click on “Message” tab , You should be able to see 2 messages(Request and Response)
    7).      Create a new Message  Type.
    7.1)     In the left hand frame under “Interface objects”, right click on the “Message types” and select new.
    7.2)     Give a suitable name to the Message type.(MT_ messagetype).
    7.3)     For the section “Data type used” you can go to input help (F4) or Search help provided and choose your data type (DT_datatype) from there.
             Save it.
    8).     Create a Message interface
    8.1)    In the left hand frame under “Interface objects”, right click on the “Message Interface” and select new and name(MI_ messageinterface) it
    8.2).   The interface Should be  Inbound  and mode should be Asynchronous  .It should reference your Message type(Use F4 or Search help).
            Save it.
    9) .    Create a graphical mapping  between the target document and the sender .
    9.1)    In the left hand frame ,expand “Mapping objects”. Right click on “Message mapping” and name it.You are now in a graphical editor.The Source message is on left, the Target message is on right.
    9.2)    As Source message select  your own  Message type.You can choose “Search  for Integration Object”.As a reminder you can find your Idoc or Rfc under Software Component-  >     Namespace->Imported Objects.
    9.3)    As Target Message you can choose your  Rfc .Choose “Search  for Integration Object”.
    9.4)    Now that we have defined the  Source and Target message, we can start defining the Mapping rules.
    9.5)    Map the fields of  Source document  to the equivalent fields in  Target document .This can be achieved easily by locating the field in Target document and then Drag and Drop the   Source fields to the respective Target Fields.
            Save It.
    9.6)    You can also Test your Mapping by selecting the 'Test Tab'.
    9.7)    Fill in the values in the Idoc fields and click 'Start Transformation'. On the right hand side you will see Target Document populated with the appropriate Values.

              Sender:
              Party:  blank
              Service:  Sender service(Business system)
              Interface : Sender interface
    7.2)      In the “Configured Receivers” area ,  choose the Service for the Target System.. Save your Receiver Determination
                Create an Interface Determination.
    7.3)       Next create an “Interface Determination” object. Now that we have defined a receiver of message  ,we need to assign an Inbound interface and an Interface mapping
    7.3.1)     In the Receiver Determination   you just created, have a look at the area “Configuration Overview for Receiver Determination”   at bottom of your screen and press Refresh  for that the Business system you assigned is displayed  in that area as well.
    7.3.2)     In the column “Receiver(Partner/Service)” open the details by clicking the node .The Entry “Not defined” shows you that there is no interface determination present.
               Right click on the Entry “Not defined” and select “ New specific”,  in order to create a new interface determination object

  • What is RFC and IDOC Adapters in XI  ?

    Hi,
    What is the RFC and IDOC Adapters in XI , in which scenarios we use this adapter , what is the advantages and disadvantages of RFC , IDOC ? can any help me out.
    Thanks & Regards
    Surendra M

    Surendra,
    <b>What is the RFC and IDOC Adapters in XI</b> :
    <b>IDOC:</b> Generaly standard IDOCs are used to update the data in R/3 or to extarct the data from R/3.
    <b>RFC:</b> Are generally used for synchronoue scenarios.
    <b>in which scenarios we use this adapter</b>
    For example you can use the IDOC <b>ORDERS05</b> to post the sales orders.
    Similarly you can use <b>BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAILS</b> to fetch the company details.
    <b>what is the advantages and disadvantages of RFC , IDOC ?</b>
    <b>Advantages:</b> Both can be used for data retrival and posting. RFC can be used for synchronus purpose but IDOCs are always asynchronous.
    <b>Disadvangages:</b> If you are using custome made RFC/IDOC then you have to import the RFC/IDOC into XI every time when you make any small changes in the structure.
    Also go through this blog to choose the right adapter to integrate with SAP systems.

  • RFC and IDoc

    Hello
    Both RFC and Idoc adapters are used to connect to SAP system from XI. Why is that we have to configure RFC Destination, port and partner agreement for Idoc while we do not have to do that for RFC ? Both use the same RFC protocol still we do the configurations only for Idoc. Can someone explain to me the technical reasons why we do that
    Thanks
    Radhika

    Hi,
       RFC Adapter resides in Adapter Engine,
    IDoc resides in I.E,when you triiger an IDoc it directly Hits I.E,like communication with Other SAP System.
    Thats why  we need to create the port .....details for IDoc.
    But coming i future it IDoc adapter ,HTTP Adapter moving in to JAVA Stack,wait till 2010 july.
    in PI7.1 EHP1 there are too many changes in Idoc adapter,like Idoc package we can do at Sender IDoc adapter level.

  • What is the difference between rfc and idoc

    hi,
       My name is rambabu.can anyone of u please tell me the main differences between idoc and rfc??
    Thanks in Advance

    hi Ramesh,
    Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc
    message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in
    the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an
    RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system
    it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a
    non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are
    a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as
    Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in
    other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called
    from external programs.
    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.

  • Problems with importing .MP4 file and the audio in FCP 6

    Hi all,
    I am pretty new to Final Cut Pro and have just approached my first project.
    I have a Samsung VP-MX20
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=cameracamcorder&type=cam corder&subtype=flashcamcorder&model_cd=VP-MX20/XEU&fullspec=F
    *Codecs H.264, AAC.*
    I needed some space on the camera so halfway through a holiday i transfered all the video files from the camera to my Laptop.
    I have imported these files from the hardrive
    Vid rate - 25 fps
    compressor - H.264
    Pixel Aspect - PAL - CCIR 601
    What seems to be the problem is ok when i drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and apply insert, i get the box that says 'Change Sequence settings to match the clip settings?
    i click yes and when the clip is layed out on the timeline there is a red line above the timeline, when i play the clip i only get bleeps as audio and not the original sound.
    If i drag the playhead i can hear the audio but if i try to play all i hear us bleeps plus if i import an mp3 the red line appears above the timeline and the same applies
    can anyone help me here.
    Thanks
    Elles

    Hi Zak,
    many thanks for your reply, i have contacted Apple and taking your advice and using compressor i have converted the codec H.264 to Apple Pro Res 422 for interlaced material.
    I have imported this file and when i drag once again from the viewer to canvas i get the standard box asking to change the sequence to match the clip.
    I am still getting the red line above the timeline and bleeping as audio.
    any idea?

  • When and Why we use BAPI, RFC and IDOC.. in XI

    Hi,
            Could any one tell me why we some time use BAPI, and some times use RFC and some times use IDOC while communicating with the SAP systems.
    Is there any differences while using the same.
    regards,
    Sunil

    Sunil,
    RFC and BAPI are same as per the technical point of view both are remote enabled function module..
    BAPI is provided by SAP while RFC is created by a developer..
    IDoc is another proprietary technology of SAP for exchnaging messages .
    Difference lies here :
    1. For RFC/BAPI you need to use RFc adapter
    while for IDoc you need to use IDoc adapter..
    2. For RFC you need to create RFC destinations not for Idoc
    3. For Idoc you also need to manage Partners Profiles..inn R3..
    These are few differences in using RFC/BAPI and Idoc...not the only ones..
    Feel free for any clarification..

  • Problems with Importing / Exporting Keywords and Meta Datas

    Hi to all!
    I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 and upgraded my referenced library.
    Today I opened the Keyword HUD and noticed some keywords splattered in my list, which seem to be any older ones, since the new numbering indicated that they are not applied to any pictures.
    So I deleted them.
    Than I noticed the <Imported Keywords> folder, opened it, and it contained also a large number of previous keywords. Also they seemed not to be in use, so I also removed them.
    Than I locked the Keyword HUD.
    Now my question: If I export a version, with the option for 'include metadata' ticked, and edit the version than in Photoshop, and after it, import it back into the Aperture library I do have the problem.
    I have tried 'Import Meta Datas' and and click 'Append'. Than it is recognizing the former keywords, which I would appreciate, but not as 'Imported Keywords'.
    If I would open the file w/ the External Editor and return it back, I guess I would not have this problem. Usually I do open the referenced RAW file, and import than the edited version back into Aperture. Keywords are stored in the Library, so I would not avail the former given keywords than, is that right?
    By the way are the keywords part of Meta Datas or not?
    Are there any workarounds?
    And had other people also problems with their keyword list after upgrading?
    Thank for any ideas / infos!

  • How to Import the RFC (Custom RFC  made ) which is available in SAP systems

    I have to use a custom RFC which is made by an abap developer in my XI scenario. I dont see any "Imported objects" tab  under my scenario in IR . I can only see  "Imported objects"  under SAP basis 6.40 . When i right click the link "Import of SAP object " is disabled .
    Am i looking at the right place . can any one help me on this

    Hi Amit,
    Just follow this sequence :
    integration repository --> software component double click  --> select radio button which says “import of RFC and IDOC interfaces from SAP systems Permitted”. --> provide the connection data for import from SAP System --> then under imported objects, you have RFC --> right click and say import of sap objects --> then give your server details and import the RFC you want.
    I hope this makes things clear to you.

  • Problem with import of IDOC fromSAP 3.1i to PI 7.0

    Hi ,
    I have an IDOC as ZXYZ.ORDERS01 in SAP R/3 3.1i System, I am unable to import the IDOC in PI7.0
    Let me know the process to import that idoc.
    ( I am Doing IDOC to File and file to IDOC Scenario )
    Regards,
    Edited by: TomShey on Sep 22, 2010 6:27 PM

    Hi,
    We also had same problem of unable to import IDOC structures automatically from SAP 3.1I to XI/PI, as the support of this feature as mentioned by SAP starts from version >= 4.0.
    Please find the prerequisite as mentioned in help.sap.com
    Prerequisites
    The SAP system from which you want to import the RFCs or IDocs must contain function modules for calling metadata. You can import RFCs and IDocs from SAP Release 4.0 and higher. The table below gives an overview of the required support packages:
    (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)
    So as per my experience, I could identify three options after indepth investigation.
    1. Recreate the IDOC structures in another SAP system which is of latest version >= 4.0 may be IDES, and then import the structure in IR for further developments. This is the option we are using for our developments now.
    2. Get WSDL of the IDOC structure by creating manually the structure using XML Enterprise edition using the complete syntax or xpath and import as external definitions and use it in mapping.
    3. Re-create the IDOC structure in XI system itself and try to use it.
    Let me know if this helped you.
