Problem with WE19 Test tool for idoc process

Hi,
I have a idoc in 51 status. This idoc is used for order creation and its an inbound idoc.
This idoc has around 2000 line items. On checking the status for this idoc, i find that in a particular line item(223) error is showing.
So in WE19, I entered this idoc no. and deleted all the line items below the error line item. Now when I click on 'Standard Inbound', I am getting error mssg 'Receipient port invalid', 'idoc was saved but cannot/ should not be processed'.
How to correct this. After this idoc is processed and generates a sales order, I want to insert the error line item and find the issue.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari Om

Hi,
Receipient port invalid You must have taken the IDOC from Production and put it in the development or quality I guess.That is why system gives this error.
To solve this issue Click on edit control record fields that is first line. Change the port for the reciepient for example change it from SAPproduction to SAP development /SAP quality
Incase of further queries please reply
Regards

  • WE19 - Test tool for IDOC processing

    Hi:
    As we know  WE19 is the test tool, and it has downside that it translates everything into upper case.
    Even SAP has a note for it, stating that it is not going to change. but it gets changed everything in upper case .
    In Our requirement;  some fields` value in lower case (or partially lower case) are required  by using this tool, it converts these into upper case and hence our process does get failed.
    Let me know if any exit or bapi or some other solution for it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Do I understand that correct that SAP says in a note that the data will not be converted to upper case in WE19, but it is getting converted anyway?
    In this case I would definitely raise an OSS message because according to SAP WE19 is not supposed to change the entries into upper case.
    If I misunderstood your comment then the only possibility would be to hook into one of the user exits. Every IDOC that is created uses a function module that processes the IDOC and passes the data to the application. The user exit you can use depends on which IDOC type you are using. The import function modules start with IDOC_INPUT_*. Once you find out which function is used just look into the coding to identify the user exits. Use an exit at the beginning to convert the data before it is passed to the application.
    Hope that helps,
    Michael

  • Test tool for IDOC processing issue

    Hi
    I am doing a IDOC to File Scenario
    Please clarify me
    The RFC destination and Port which I have created in ECC I am getting the same in the "Edit Control Record Fields Receiver Tab"
    But
    The RFC destination and Port I have created in XI is not appearing in the "Edit Control Record Fields Sender Tab" (when I pressF4)
    where I should have to check for this errors.

  • We 19  rest tool for idoc processing

    hi to all abap gurus
    i heard that we19 is test tool for idoc proceesing and it is also also used for idoc deletion .
    may i know what is idoc testing why it is required . can u pls explain n in detail ?
    and so many options are there in we19 tcode like inbound function module .
    and tell me how to create idoc dynamically and send to the other system by using we 19 tool 
    thanksssss in adavance

    Intermediate Document
    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. IDoc is not a process.
    -         IDocs are stored in the database.
    -         In the SAP system, IDocs are stored in database tables.
    -         IDocs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    -         IDocs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    Creation of IDOCs
    ?         Transaction code: WE 30
    Defining Segment:
    Creating Segment : Tcode - WE31
    Creating Message Type : Tcode - we81
    Assigning Message type to Idoc type: Tcode - we82
    Process
    The two processes for IDoc are Outbound Process and Inbound Process.
    Outbound Process
    When the data is sent out from the system, the process is called Outbound Process and the IDoc is known as Outbound IDoc.
    Inbound Process
    When the data is coming in, the process is called Inbound Process and the IDoc is known as Inbound IDoc.
    Outbound Process (Sending System) Steps :
    1) Goto Tcode SALE:
    Click on Sending & Receiving Systems à Select Logical Systems
    Here Define the Logical Systems à Click on Execute Button
    Go for New Entries
    1)       System Name : LOG1
    Description: Sending System
    2)       System Name : LOG2
    Description: Receiving System
    Press Enter & Save it will ask for Request if you want new request create new request or press continue for transferring the objects.

  • Problem with Assemble Test VIs for Run-Time Distribution

    I get an error that a file is already in memory and that I will have to remove it before I can build the application. The file in question is Get File System Seperator.vi. It lives in vi.lib\Utility\sysinfo.llb. If it is not a stock vi from national and was placed there by some other add on tools (perhaps an OpenG toolkit), how can I disable it? Labview itself will not boot without this sysinfo.llb.
    I am using TestStand Engine 2.01 on the XP system and 2.01f1 on win2000 with the same results. I am not using numerical limits so the fix (patch) for multiple numerical limits does not seem to be needed.

    Hi Paul,
    In the description of your problem you state that "I will have to remove it before I can build the application". I was wondering if you could elaborate on the scenario you are describing because this is a little bit confusing to me as it is. The "Assemble Test VIs for Run-Time Distribution" tool in the Sequence Editor does not involve "building an application" as part of the process of using it. When you select the menu option for this tool, a TestStand sequence is invoked that has a few LV VI steps in it which perform the VI Assembly process, with no application building involved (just searching through sequences for top-level vis, their sub-vis, and copying them all into a directory you choose). I hope this describes what it is I'm not understanding about your statement, but to explain why it is that I feel this is important is in order to reproduce the problem I need to know exactly what it is you are doing at the time of encountering the problem. To go over a common set of issues people encounter when they use this tool, I would like to see if you have tried the following:
    1) Have you checked to make sure that the LabVIEW Standard Prototype Adapter is configured to use the LabVIEW development environment as its Run-Time Server before running the tool. It will not work if the adapter is set to use TestStand LVRTS or TestStandGUILVRTS. The assembly tool requires features of the full LV IDE to perform the functions it carries out, and you will get an error if the adapter is configured improperly. To check this out, go to Configure >> Adapters..., select the LV Adapter in the listbox, then click the Configure button. In the second dialog, change the run-time server option to "LabVIEW".
    2) Are you actually trying to build the Assemble Test VIs for Runtime Distribution tool into an application? (This is not an intended use of the tool's VIs).
    3) Before running the assembly tool, have you tried using the Sequence Editor's File >> Unload All Modules option?
    Let me know if you have tried the above things or if you are doing any of the "unintended" things with the tool so I can get a better grasp of when it is you are seeing the problem. Again, the goal would be for us to reproduce it.

  • Function module creation for IDOC processing...

    hi Experts,
                 i want to create a function module for idoc processing..
    message type: zashpmnt
    idoc type : shpmnt05
    plz tell me which standard FM is used... and tell me what changes i want to do in it....
    Tnx in Advance..

    Hello,
             If you are trying to process an Outbound IDoc for the SHIPMNT05 IDoc Type with an Extension, you can use the IDOC_OUTPUT_SHPMNT Function Module which is assigned to SHPM Process Code.
           In Addition, since you have an IDoc Extension, you are required to populate the Custom Segment / Fields. For this, there is a Customer Function / Exit called EXIT_SAPLV56K_002 which you can use it for adding your Custom Segments to the IDoc ZSHPMNT05.
           If you are writing code in this exit, make sure to create a Project in CMOD.
           Also, ensure that you've made the assignment in WE82 with the Message Type , IDoc Type & the Extension.
           For Inbound, if you would like to Create a Custom Function Module, you can follow the Naming Convention Z_IDOC_INPUT_SHPMNT for which you are required follow the below Steps.
    1. Register the FM as Inbound FM in BD51 T-Code.
    2. Assign the FM to IDoc Type & Extension in WE57.
    3. You'll need to Create a Custom Process Code in WE42 in which you are required to make add your FM.
    4. Maintain Partner Profiles in WE20.
    5. Have the Process Code Migrated to the Testing Environment as creation of Custom Process Code is a Customizing Activity and it requires a Customizing Request to be created / Migrated.
    6. Define the Parameters as defined in the Standard Inbound Function Modules such as IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS , IDOC_INPUT_DELVRY etc.

  • Load Test Tools for CC&B 2.2?

    We are evaluating four load test tools for CC&B 2.2. JMeter (Free), BadBoy (Free), TheGrinder3 (Free), Selenium (Free) and Loadrunner 9.5.1.
    1) Does anyone out there have a load test success story to share? If so, be sure to mention which tool or tool combination.
    2) Can anyone recommend another solution we might want to evaluate?
    3) It appears none of these tools work "out of the box" with CC&B. GUI rendering mode fails ajax calls. Does anyone have a trick for working around/through this issue?
    At this point, it appears the best options are:
    1) Use a combination of JMeter and BadBoy. We record the gui navigation in BadBoy and run the script in JMeter. JMeter doesn't support https GUI capture, but it seems to be the better tool for running the scripts and analyzing the results. BOTH TOOLS ARE FREE.
    2) Loadrunner VuGen. Fails on replay due to the ajax calls. Manual scripting is the only workaround found so far.
    TheGrinder3 has no GUI replay. You can't watch the replay. Also, passwords are clear text.
    Selenium only works with Firefox. LVVWD doesn't use/support firefox.
    I should also mention that our criteria assumes minimal load testing in the near future and are trying very hard to avoid spending big $$$ for upgrade and maintenance fees.

    My company used AppLoader to run tests through NRG Global. We didn’t have a lot of people to dedicate to the testing, so we paid NRG a consulting fee to do it for us (for surprisingly less than we thought!). We had them test a Citrix & .net client/server application (with 300 users) and an Apache web application with Ajax (150 users). AppLoader is protocol independent, so it worked just fine with both. Also, it tests from the front end, so you can watch the GUI replay. They also have password encryption, although we didn’t use it for our tests.
    They were able to run the tests & get the data back to us quickly. We ended up with some failures & errors, but they gave us a detailed report with screenshots, logs & graphs which enabled us to find the problem, get it fixed and get our application up quickly. Turns out we had a memory leak. It was a relief to have the test done so fast, thorough & without the huge price tag. I spoke with the consultant there directly. She was very nice & helpful walking me through the results. Hope that helps. Good luck!

  • Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination

    Problem with "SELECT...FOR UPDATE OF..." and "POST command" combination
    Problem in committing transactions in Multiple Forms (Oracle Forms) with POST built-in command:
    Consider that the following statements are written in WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger of a called form.
    Statements in called form (Form name: FORM_CHILD):
    go_block('display_block') ;
    do_key('execute_query') ;
    -- Data from table_b will be populated in this block, based on the value of COLUMN_1 obtained
    -- from TABLE_A.
    -- Example: If the value of COLUMN_1 is 10, then all the matching records from TABLE_B, which
    -- are inserted with value 10 in TABLE_B.COLUMN_1 will be fetched and shown here.
    if user_choice = 'YES' then
    commit ;
    else
    rollback ;
    end if ;
    Statements in calling forms:
    There are two calling forms having following statements and it is going to call the above said called form.
    CALLING FORM 1
    Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
    post;
    call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
    Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
    select column_1
    from table_a
    for update of column_1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    update table_a
    set column_1 = column_1 + 1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...; Statements in KEY-COMMIT trigger:
    post;
    call_form(form_child, no_activate) ;
    CALLING FORM 2:
    Statements in ON-INSERT trigger:
    select column_1
    from table_a
    for update of column_1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    update table_a
    set column_1 = column_1 + 1
    where column_2 = 'X' ;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...;
    insert into table_b ...;
    Our understanding:
    Assume that both the forms are running from two different machines/instances, issuing commit at the same time. In this case, forms will start executing the statements written in ON-INSERT trigger, the moment POST command is executed. Though the commit is issued at the same time, according to oracle, only one of the request will be taken for processing first. Assume that calling form 1 is getting processed first.
    So, it fetches the value available in COLUMN_1 of TABLE_A and locks the row from further select, update, etc. as SELECT...FOR UPDATE command is used (note that NOWAIT is not given, hence the lock will be released only when COMMIT or ROLLBACK happens) and proceed executing further INSERT statements. Because of the lock provided by the SELECT...FOR UPDATE command, the statements in calling form 2 will wait for the resource.
    After executing the INSERT statements, the FORM_CHILD is called. The rows inserted in to TABLE_A will be queried and shown. The database changes will be committed when user closes the window (as COMMIT is issued in its WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED trigger). Then the SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock will be released and calling form 2's statements will be executed.
    Actual happenings or Mis-behavior:
    Calling form 2 starts executing INSERT statements instead of waiting for SELECT...FOR UPDATE lock. Also, the value selected from TABLE_A.COLUMN_1 is same in both the calling forms, which is wrong.
    The rows inserted into TABLE_B are having similar COLUMN_1 values in calling form 2 and they are fetched and shown in the called form FORM_CHILD.
    Note that in calling form 2 also POST only is issued, but the changes posted there are accessible in calling form 1 also, which is wrong.
    Kindly suggest us as to how to fix above problem. It will be much use, if you can send us the information regarding the behavior of Oracle Forms POST built-in also.
    Our mail ID: [email protected]
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    You have several problems:
    1. On-Insert will ONLY run if you have created a new record in a base-table block. If you haven't done that, then the POST command will not cause it to run.
    2. Select for update without a "no wait" will lock records for the first form, but when the second form tries this, it will hit the ORA-00054 exception, and will NOT wait. The only way you could make it wait is to issue an UPDATE sql command, which is not such a good way to go.
    All POST does is issues SQL insert or update commands for any changes the user has made to records in a form's base-table blocks, without following with a Commit command.
    Also understand that Commit is the same as Commit_Form, and Rollback is the same as Clear_Form. You should read up on these in the Forms help topics.

  • Batch job for IDOC processing in 64 status

    Hi experts ,
    i want to know the name of Batch job for IDOC processing in 64 status.
    I have configured the partner profiles as 'process immediatly'.
    So with this configuration whenever an idoc comes in production it gets processed immediatly and automatically.
    i want to know how they are getting processed automatically.
    is there any job which looks for these idocs(in 64 status and process immediatly flag) and process it.
    What is the trigger for thiese idocs processing???
    Please guide me
    thanks in advance
    Anit gautam

    Hi Thanks for ur reply.
    =====Upon arrival, "process immediately" should fire that process =====
    how it is getting fire?
    means is there any batch job running which looks for idoc in 64 status or is there any event which get triggered when an idoc
    comes in 64 status.
    why we use OYEB transaction???

  • Problem with CS5 patch tool

    Hi, I have this annoying problem with the patch tool that whenever I use it, i.e., drag the selected area to a new location it pastes the selected area as if it were smudged, such as feathered, and I practically can't use it. I have checked the selection and it is not feathered, but still, the selection being pasted is smudged. Any settings that I am not aware of?
    Thanks.

    The Patch (content aware) tool is affected by the area around your selection. To get around the problem, make a selection of the beak and he surround without the bird and put it on a separate layer as shown here. Then select the beak and apply the Patch command. Without the dark bird for reference, you will get the result you want.

    Hi,
    For SAP R/3 we use CATT and ECATT tools.
    Both are very useful tools and generally used for automated functional testing.Reduces a large amount of cost and human effort.
    Even you can convert or call external tool scripts like mercury QTP etc from ECATT and run from ECATT itself.Also you can use these tools with solution manager to get awesome effortless testing and test plan management.
    Check my weblogs.
