Question about ALE/IDoc

I try to generate partner profile with transaction BD82.I input the model view name,partner system and execute. It says No message have been defined for the selection conditions in the model.So what is the problem.And how to handle it.
Thanks.

Hi Alex,
Just make sure you have given the name of sender, receiver system and message type correctly and you have maintained this data in tcode - BD64.
check this blog as well..
ALE configuration for pushing idocs from SAP to XI
You can use we20 to maintain partner profile as well.

    suggest me

    Hi
    can anyone send me the good links for EDI concepts.explain me a bit about the creation process .
    EDI is described as the interchange of structured data according to agreed message standards between computer systems, by electronic means. Structured data equates to a simple and direct method of presenting the data content of a document. The method of ensuring the correct interpretation of the information by the computer system is defined by the EDI standard."
    EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."

    Please send me the answers to this mail id [email protected]

    Hi guys,
    I must thank every one of you for sending such quick and helpful responses. I bought the book "ALE, EDI and IDOC" from Aravind Nagpal and its a great book for beginner as well as for an expert. I have started practising ALE my PC by logging into 2 clients and it is working fine. I was able to send and receive the IDOC.
    Thank you again.
    This is a great forum,
    Cheers,
    Mahesh.

  • About ALE/IDOC

    1. could anybody please send me the ALE/IDOC real time scenario pr technical spec(on which u had an experience)  to my mail
    ID: [email protected]
    or
    could u provide ur 'contact number' so that i could give a call to u .
    please help me na.

    Hi,
    Few examples of real time scenarios are
    1. Outputting Purchase Orders as IDOCs on saving the PO
    2. Outputting Inbound Delivery on receipt of ASNs
    3. Processing Goods Receipt from a third party system
    For this You need to Activate the Change Pointer through IMG SALE...for the repective MESSAGE TYPE say Material Master MATMAS
    After That creat Material (MM01)
    After that go to SE38 Run the Report programm RBDCPMIG to created Master IDOC and Communication IDOC...And if All Your ALE Settings are correct .. it will transfer the IDOC to Other Client....or R/3
    YOu can also try
    Creation of purchase Order what has been explained in above reply..
    You can also try out this scenario instructed in this Quick refrance Guide.....

  • Integration strategies - Questions about using IDOC XML?

    Hello. First time poster here.  I am looking for some information for a project for a client and I am hoping someone can give me a pointer to where to start.
    I need to connect my clients SAP system to an XML based software package.  I have heard about IDOC XML and I hope I can use this technology to do the following:
    1. Extract PO's from SAP
    2. Insert PO changes to SAP (Price, Delivery, Quantity, etc.)
    3. Extract RFQ information from SAP
    4. Insert vendor quotations for those RFQ's
    Are there existing IDOC XML document types for these transactions?
    Does SAP have a tool that generates the IDOC XML and makes the data available as a disk file?
    Does SAP have a tool that can read an IDOC XML from a disk file and submit it for insertion into SAP?
    Would I need to do any programming on the SAP side to accept the data into SAP or are there, for instance, specific IDOC XML documents for uploading changes to existing PO's?
    Is there documentation avaialble that will answer these kinds of questions?
    Thank you in advance

  • About ale/idocs

    hello experts..
    1..can u tell me what is idoc tables..
    2.. ale what is message functions..what is functionalty of message functions..
      and where u can find message function and tell me which tr.code

    Hi,
    The message function is an optional parameter. If several IDoc types belong to the same message type, the unique assignments can be ensured via the message code and message function. Alternatively, the inbound processing type for IDocs from a certain partner can be defined differently via the fields for message type, message code and message function.
    You can specify the message function when you create an inbound or an outbound partner profile (WE20). The table is EDIDC and field is MESFCT.

    Hi Satya Reddy

    IDOC-Intermediate documents
    BAPI-Business ApplicationProgramInterface
    BADI-Bsuiness Addins
    RFC-Remote Function call
    ALE-Application liniking and enabling
    The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: 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.
    The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

    IDOC ---> Will be used to sending data in Async mode ...
    It is very standard and for better performance Async case
    RFC --- > Function module and general will be used to make call to function
    sending the function (XI has RFC adapter)
    BAPI ---> Other version of RFC (Objected oriented) mostly we will use for Sync

  • ALE/IDoc: About changed and new funcitons in Release 6.40

    Hi,
    I'm not good at ALE/IDoc, but I have one question about the Release Notes for Basis component(Release 6.40).
    (cf: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ec/f23442d692ad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
    In the above document, in the category of "Effects on System Administration", on 3rd line,
    "Newly created segments cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such"
    I cannnot understand 2 points about this sentence.
    The 1st is that "Newly created segments" means the segments I created by myself ? or the ones that were created after release 6.40? Which is correct?
    The 2nd is what's the meaning of "cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such" ?
    Once I created some segments, it is prohibited from customizing or changing them?
    If you have some ideas or answers, please help me.
    Best Regards,
    Dai

    Hi,
    What I understand from the document is the segments created after release 6.40 by SAP cannot be enhanced because the segments are already released.
    The custom segments can be enhanced before release.
    Regards
    Manasa

  • Questions about IDoc

    Hi ABAPers,
    I´m new on IDoc, so I need somebody to help me.
    I wish know how can I find where an IDoc is "generated". That is, where the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function is called.
    My issue is an IDoc generated during the purchase order process (I guess that in the MIRO), I´ve already tried debug and stop in the above function without sucess.
    Any help is welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Charles

    There is a Concept called Message Control , Here Output type is attached to the IDoc message type and IDoc type. You will maintain this In WE20 partner profile part , in the outbound section.
    and at the same time you will maitain the Output type in NACE ,
    In NACE you will Configure the output type with medium as ALE/IDOC or EDI
    and Program RSNASTED , i am not sure what is used in your case ? , it may be same or it may be Different and custom one.
    you go to program RSNAST00 ,
    in this you can go to line # 1327 ,
    perform (tnapr-ronam) in program (tnapr-pgnam) using returncode
                                                             us_screen
                                                             if found.
    here you keep a break point. and Go to MIRO tigger the output type. if it stops well and good.
    if not start Debugging  using /H in the messages screen , and Trigger the output by saving it.and then activate the Update Debugging from Menu Debugging->Update Debugging
    then F8. it will stop exactly the above perform , and there you check.
    and also if you know the output type you can check the Medium and Program used for processing the output.

  • ALE, Idocs question.

    Hi everybody,
    If I have a ECC instance installed on a machine (M1) and a Netweaver with abap stack on other machine (M2). Can I communicate them via Idocs? My question is because I do not know if a have all the ALE-Idocs functionality on the Netweaver machine M2.
    Thanks in advance.

    The idea is a ECC running on a netwaeaver (M1) and a standalone netweaver (M2).
    Thanks for your answer.

    Hi Niel,
    There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
    and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
    If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
    or dumps in ST22?
    If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
    and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
    to correct any errors.
    If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
    to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
    remodelling rule again.
    Best Regards,
    Des.

  • Help: one request using ALE&IDOC to Posting Goods Issue about MaterialScrap

    Hi Exports,
    i got a situation. My client is using ALE&IDOC to deal with the Material Scrapping. The business scenario is:
    1. One third system (Non-SAP) Send IDOC to SAP Production Server through the Intermedia SEEBEYOND.
        Message Type: MBGMCR
        IDOC Type: MBGMCR02
        BUSINESS OBJECT: BUS2017
    2. SAP Production Server use "Message Type: MBGMCR" to find out the BAPI in Distribution Model and trigger the BAPI.
    the Distribution Model:
    Model View
    SEEBEYONG
    PRODUCTION
    GoodsMovement.CreateFromData
    Reciever determination: no filter
    Now my client's request is:
    When the Movement Type is 551 in the IDOC Segment "E1BP2017_GM_ITEM_CREATE", This IDOC will be ignore and not trigger the BAPI to post goods issue.
    i try to add the destination filter in the Distribution Model. but when i add the filter group, there are only two filter parameter ("Plant" and "Storage Location") and don't allow to add others.
    i have no idea now. can anyone give me a favor. thank you very much in advance.
