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.

Questions about IDoc to file scenario
I 'm confused, and have a few questions:
1, we need to define a product for it at least , assign it to either of the systems?
2, we don't have to configure an IDoc communication channel, do we?
3, does the receiver system (file/ftp) need a logical system? and define it by t-code BD54, in XI or R/3?
4, at least define techinical system and business system for R/3?
Can you explain the sld configuration to me ?
thanks a lot.Hi,
,1) we need to define a product for it at least , assign it to either of the systems?
Ans: Yes we need to define a product.
2, we don't have to configure an IDoc communication channel, do we?
Ans: Sender agreement and Sender IDOC communication channel is not required as IDOC adapter
resides on ABAP stack.
3, does the receiver system (file/ftp) need a logical system? and define it by t-code BD54, in XI or R/3?
Ans: For third party system from ID create the business system and use that Business system for File or
FTP system.
Business System.
1.Goto Business Landscape->New Business System->Name the business system.
2. Choose the technical system that needs to be attached->WebAS ABAP->Technical System Name.
Business System have an entry in the SLD and Buiness Service do not.
Business Systems are used when you are sending data to and from an R3 system and can be of ABAP, JAVA and Third Party Types.
Business System is a logical representation of a Technical System.
Business Service is a abstract representation of a System. For instance, www.google.com have a several system working together and IPs of this machines change eventually. When we use a Business Services like google we reference a computer that we don't know the phisical implementation.
4, at least define techinical system and business system for R/3?
Technical System
In SLD, click on technical landscape->New Technical System->WebAS ABAP.
Ans: Yes : Technical system is a phisical machine, it have a IP. Can be a BBDD, ERP, J2EE ......... a Business System is a logical term that we use into the Business Scenarios and represent these Technical System that we had created.
Can you explain the sld configuration to me ?
SLD is the place where u can define systems that are existing in ur landscape. using these systems u can transfer data from one system to another using PI.

Question about iDoc- iDoc_xml- soap- axis- ...
Hi,
I have to create iDocs, transform these iDocs into xml(iDoc_xml) and send these xmls "soaped" via a https POST to an external webservice (axis 2). The webservice should transform the xml in a xml-format who could be read by an other system. Then the transformed xml will be send to the system. In the other direction I will get state changes from the system, transform this data @ the webservice into an idoc an send this via JCO into the SAP system.
The first steps are done. I could create an idoc and send it via the Port " soaped to a http destination. But I am not able to read the data within my webservice and the https stuff doesnt work too. Could anybody tell me if there are perhaps Best Practices for this kind of "work". I think my way to send a delivery03 iDoc as an xml to a customer is not the best way. Perhaps its a better idea to send the idOc to the webservice and let the jCo transform this iDoc to XML? Is this generally possible?Hi Benjamin,
In this case
E1AFKOL is the parent segment.
E1JSTKL, E1AFABL and E1AFFLL are the child for E1AFKOL.
The meaning is - for a particular parent segment there can exist 1 - 9999 child segments of E1JSTKL, E1AFABL and E1AFFLL
This is the parent child relationship
For the second question
In the table EDID4
Let us take this example
DOCNUM SEGNUM SEGNAM PSGNUM HLEVEL
1000 000001 E1AFKOL 000000 01
1000 000002 E1JSTKL 000001 02
1000 000003 E1JSTKL 000001 02
1000 000004 E1JSTKL 000001 02
1000 000005 E1AFABL 000001 02
1000 000006 E1AFABL 000001 02
1000 000007 E1AFABL 000001 02
1000 000008 E1AFFLL 000001 02
1000 000009 E1AFVOL 000008 03
1000 000010 E1AFVOL 000008 03
1000 000011 E1AFFLL 000001 02
1000 000012 E1AFVOL 000011 03
1000 000013 E1AFVOL 000011 03
1000 000014 E1AFFLL 000001 02
1000 000015 E1AFVOL 000014 03
1000 000016 E1AFVOL 000014 03
Hope this helps.

I test a scenario as file->xi->IDOC->R/3
and another scenario as R/3->IDOC->XI-file
i think, it should be two Communication channel
to R/3,one is Receiver another is Sender
But when i create the channel ,after select the adapter
tyep as IDOC, i can not select the Channel as a Sender
Can only set it as a Receiver
why?
and when i test the first scenario , the flowing error
appers(my test idoc message is 'CREMAS03':
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <!-- Call Adapter
-->
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

</SAP:Error>
all of setting seems fine.The IDOC adapter does not need a sender channel, as all information the XI needs are stored in the message itself. Sender channels are requested mostly for polling adapters like file of jdbc. HTTP-, RFC-, IDOC- and XI-adapter do not need a sender channel (see manual for further details).
The error message seem not to be translated in your system. Here is the message text:
"MSGGUID &1: Control record must start with tag EDI_DC40, not &2"
So in the payload there is no control record for the IDOC.
Check in your IDOC receiver channel, if the checkbox "Apply Control Record Values from Payload" is marked. If so, uncheck it. That should help.

Hi,
Say i have to send an ORDERS idoc from my SAP system to another system , how should i do it?
Should i use specialized transactions that are delivered for every SAP module to do it automatically?
Or should explicit configuration be done to create IDOCS?
Now if i have done that and i see my IDOC in WE05 and see the IDOC fields and their corresponding values is there a way by which i can find which SAP tables the values came from?Hi,
You can get the process code from the partner profiles transaction WE20. and then you can get the FM from the process code.
Method 2:
1. Get the Message type from the IDOC in WE05 transaction.
2. In se37 try to serch FM using Message type.
Normally the name of FM will be IDOC_<MESSAGETYPE>_OUT*

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

You can use XML port for IDOC xml output to file disk or XML-HTTP port to send and receive message through HTTP protocol.

I am an HP employee.My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday. I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank. When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message. The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything.
I'm not happy with HP. Any suggestions? -

Questions about using the Voice Memos app
I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):

First of all, I would like to say that I am very impressed with how well Muse works and how easy it was to create a website that satisfies me. Before I started a daily updated website I thought I would encounter many problems I will not be able to solve. I have only had a few minor issues which I would like to share with you.
The most problems I have with a horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html). Marking and copying of a text is possible only on the last (top) layer of a document. The same situation is with widgets or anything connected with rollover state - it does not work. In the above example it would be perfect to use a composition/tooltip widget on the first page. Unfortunately, you cannot even move the cursor into it.
It would be helpful to have an option of rolling a mouse to an anchor (like in here http://www.play.pl/super-smartfony/lg-nexus-5.html and here http://www.thepetedesign.com/demos/onepage_scroll_demo.html). I mean any action of a mouse wheel would make a move to another anchor/screen. It would make navigation of my site very easy.
Is it possible to create a widget with a function next anchor/previous anchor? Currently, in the menu every button must be connected to a different anchor for the menu to be functional.
A question about Adobe Muse. Is it possible to create panels in different columns? It would make it easier to go through all the sophisticated program functions.
The hits from Facebook have sometimes very long links, eg.
(http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/mclaren-p1-nowy-krol-nurburgring.html?fb_action_ids=143235557 3667782&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582). If such a link is activated, the anchors in the menu do not work on any page. I mean the backlight of an active state, which helps the user to find out where on page they currently are. The problem also occurs when in the name of a html file polish fonts exist. And sometimes the dots does not work without any reason, mostly in the main page, sometimes in the cooperation page either (http://www.leftlane.pl/wspolpraca/). In the first case (on main page), I do not know why. I have checked if they did not drop into a state button by accident, moved them among the layers, numbered them from scratch and it did not help. In the cooperation page, the first anchor does not work if it is in Y axle set at 0. If I move it right direction- everything is ok.
The text frame with background fill does not change text color in overlay state (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html). I mean a source button at the beginning of every text. I would like a dark text and a light layer in a rollover, but the text after export and moving cursor into it does not change color for some reason.
I was not sure whether to keep everything (whole website) in one Muse file (but I may be mistaken?). I have decided to divide it into months. Everyone is in a different Muse file. If something goes wrong, I will not have any trouble with an upload of a whole site, which is going to get bigger and bigger.
The problem is that every file has two master pages. Everything works well up to the moment when I realize how many times I have to make changes in upper menu when I need to add something there. I have already 5 files, every with 2 masters. Is there any way to solve this problem? Maybe something to do with Business Catalyst, where I could connect a menu to every subpage independently, deleting it from Muse file? Doing so I would be able to edit it everywhere from one place. It would make my work much easier, but I have no idea jendak how to do it.
The comments Disqus do not load, especially at horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-infiniti-q50-eau-rouge-concept.html). I have exchanged some mails and screenshots with Disqus help. I have sent them a screenshot where the comments are not loaded, because they almost never load. They have replied that it works at their place even with attached screenshot. I have a hard time to discuss it, because it does not work with me and with my friends either. Maybe you could fix it? I would not like to end up with awful facebook comments ;). The problem is with Firefox on PC and Mac. Chrome, Safari and Opera work ok.
YouTube movie level layouts do not work well with IE11 and Safari 7 (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/wypadki-drogowe--004.html). The background should roll left, but in the above mentioned browsers it jumps up. Moreover the scrolling with menu dots is not fluent on Firefox, but I guess it is due to Firefox issues? The same layout but in vertical version rolls fluently in Firefox (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/polskie-wypadki--005.html).
Now, viewing the website on new smartphones and tablets. I know it is not a mobile/tablet layout, but I tried to make it possible to be used on mobile hardware with HD (1280) display. I mean most of all horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2015-hyundai-genesis.html), where If we want to roll left, we need to roll down. Is there a way to make it possible to move the finger the direction in which the layout goes?
On Android phones (Nexus 4, Android 4.4.2, Chrome 32) the fade away background effect does not work, although I have spent a lot of time over it (http://www.leftlane.pl/lut14/koniec-produkcji-elektrycznego-renault-fluence-ze!.html). It is ok on PC, but on the phone it does not look good. A whole picture moves from a lower layer instead of an edge which spoils everything.
This layout does not look good on Android (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/nowe-mini-krolestwo-silnikow-3-cylindrowych.html#a07). The background does not fill the whole width of a page. There are also problems with a photo gallery, where full screen pictures should fill more of a screen.
Is it possible to make an option of scroll effects/motions for a fullscreen slideshow widget thumbnails (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06)? It would help me with designing layouts. Currently, it can go from a bottom of a page at x1 speed or emerge (like in this layout) by changing opacity. Something more will be needed, I suppose.
Sometimes the pictures from gallery (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a06 download very slowly. The website is hosted at Business Catalyst. I cannot state when exactly it happens, most of the time it works ok.
I really like layouts like this (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/2014-chevrolet-ss%2c-rodzinny-sedan-z-415-konnym-v8.html#a03). On the top is a description and a main text, and the picture is a filled object with a hold set at the bottom edge. That is why there is a nice effect of a filling a whole screen- nevertheless the resolution that is set. It works perfect on PC, but on Android the picture goes beyond the screen. You can do something about it?
In horizontal layouts (http://www.leftlane.pl/sty14/dig-t-r-3-cylindrowy-silnik-nissana-o-wadze-40-kg-i-mocy-400- km.html) holding of a filling object does not work. Everything is always held to upper edge of a screen regardless the settings. Possibility of holding the picture to the bottom edge or center would make my work much easier.
According to UE regulations we have to inform about the cookies. I do not know how to do it in Muse. I mean, when the message shows up one time and is accepted, there would be no need to show it again and again during another visit on the website. Is there any way to do it? Is there any widget for it maybe?
The YouTube widget sometimes changes size just like that. It is so when the miniature of the movie does not load, and the widget is set to stroke (in our case 4 pixels, rounded to 1 pixel). As I remember ( in case of a load error) it extends for 8 pixels wide.
Last but not least - we use the cheapest hosting plan in Business Catalyst. The monthly bandwidth is enough, although we have a lot of pictures and we worried about it at first. Yet we are running out of the disk storage very quickly. We have used more than a half of a 1 GB after a month. We do not want to change BC for a different one, because we like the way it is connected with Muse. But we do not want to buy the most expensive package - but only this one has more disk space. We do not need any other of these functions and it would devastate our budget. Do we have any other option?
I’m using Adobe Muse 7.2 on OS X 10.9.1.
and I'm sending Muse file to <[email protected]>Unfortunatley, there is no way to get a code view in Muse. I know quite a few people requested it in the previous forum, but not really sure where that ended up. Also, you may not want to bring the html into DW unless you only have 1 or 2 small changes 2 make. Two reasons. First, it isnt backwards compatible, so if you are planning on updating that site in Muse, you will need to make those changes in DW everytime you update. Second, by all accounts the HTML that Muse puts out is not pretty or easy to work with. Unlike you, I am code averse, but there was a lenghty discussion on the previous forum on this topic. I know they were striving to make it better with every release, just not sure where it is at this point.
Dont think I am reading that second question right, but there was a ton of info on that old site. You may want to take a look there, people posted a ton of great unique solutions, so it worth a look.
Here is the link to the old forums- http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse -
hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!
Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

I've been a satisfied iOS4 user since I bought my iPhone4, but I was forced to install iOS6 tonight in order to download a "free" app. I found a few new icons on the screen along with about 200 percent more "Settings" I'd like to ask some questions about. I'm sure a few of these could be answered by doing a frantic and thorough search through weeks of posts but I'm a little short on time right now.
First, what exactly is iMessage? Looking at the page for it, I can't see any difference between it and regular text messages. The info page says its to avoid charges, but between my data plan and not being charged for text I don't see where theres any other benefit. The one person I text with the most recently asked me why I had not installed iMessage yet, and didn't have an answer when I asked him why I should. I guess he just wanted to see text replies in blue instead of green.
In a related bit, flipping through Settings>Messages>Send & Receive I find a "2 addresses" section, with my phone number in there as well as my email under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" and "Start new conversations from:". What good does it do iMessages to have my email address? Does the Mail app handle text as well as email addresses? That seems to be the only explanation, and also very odd to think I'd be trying to text through my Mail app.
Second, looking through the Settings>Mail I see now that I have an icloud email address as well as the mac.com address I've been desperately hanging on to for the past 10 years, and the me.com address they've been trying to force me into since those came out. (I was happy to see I could delete the me.com address from the phone. I wish I could delete it from the universe.)
I wasn't even aware there was a such thing as icloud.com addresses. When did this happen? What is it used for?
Third, under that icloud Setting I see a long list of apps with buttons labeled "Off" under it. What are those for? Under the Mac.com settings I see switches for "Mail" and "Notes", with Mail on and Notes off. The Notes app (which I haven't used since my old iPhone 3) still opens, regardless of this setting.
Fourth, I now have an item called "Facetime" under my Settings. It is off, but underneath it says "Your phone number and/or email address will be shared with people you call". I understand caller ID normally sends caller number info to the receiver, but why would someone need my email address if I call them?
Fifth, I now have a "Music" setting, at the bottom of which I see a "Home Sharing" item, which when clicked brings up my AppleID and asks me if I want to Sign Out or Cancel. What is Home Sharing? Its also at the bottom of the "Video" settings.
Sixth, now I have Twitter and Facebook settings? For what? I don't have accounts with either of those companies. So why have settings, especially since it asks me to create accounts and download apps for those companies right in the Settings?
Seventh, there is a camera icon on the unlock screen. Touching it causes the screen to bounce up about a quarter inch, almost but not quite revealing something behind it. I should probably just quit asking about this stuff already, but I'll take the bait - what is this now?
Finally, what is the Notification Center used for?
If I got a text under iOS4, it would put an alert on the Unlock screen. Scrolling through this huge list of things under the Notification settings I'm really blown away by all the apps set up to yell at me. I can see having an alert for a text message but Game Center? What the heck is that, and why is it set up to hit me with a "Badge App Icon" (whatever that is) when I get alerts from "Everyone". Similarly, the phone is set to alert me to something called a "Photostream Alert"? What is this? Why is there a Phone section for the Notification Center? So they can put a Notice on my screen to tell me the phone is ringing? Holy cow! The phone is set to send me alerts from the "Weather Widget". So if I miss the fact its raining there will be a message on my screen to let me know? Whats next - a buzzer to tell me I'm listening to music?
There's a lot more, like what would I need Passbook for when I have the actual movie tickets, gate boarding passes, coupons, etc in my hands, but we'll leave that for another time. Many thanks to all who can offer some answers to my questions above.Hey Taantumus!
Here is an article that will provide some guidance on this question:
Apple ID: Changing your password

The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.

Questions about using Bitlocker without TPM
We currently use Bitlocker to encrypt our Windows 7 computers with TPM. Now we are looking at encrypting some Windows 7 computers without a TPM. I see how to change the group policy setting to allow Bitlocker without a TPM. I have looked at a lot of other
threads and I have a few questions about how the Bitlocker without TPM works.
1) I see a USB drive containing a key is required for Bitlocker configurations without a TPM, say the end user loses this USB drive, what are the recovery options for their computer?
This article seems to indicate that without the USB drive connected, you are unable to even access recovery options http://blogs.technet.com/b/hugofe/archive/2010/10/29/bitlocker-without-tpm.aspx
We have recovery backed up to AD when Bitlocker is enabled, but how could we do this recovery on a computer on computer where it's USB is lost? Would we have to remove the HD itself and attach it to another computer to access?
2) After enabling Bitlocker on a computer without a TPM and using the USB Drive for the key, is there a way to also add a PIN or password protection at bootup?Hi,
Sorry for my dilatory reply,
Configuring a startup key is another method to enable a higher level of security with the TPM. The startup key is a key stored on a USB flash drive, and the USB flash drive must be inserted every time the computer starts. The startup key is used to provide
another factor of authentication in conjunction with TPM authentication. To use a USB flash drive as a startup key, the USB flash drive must be formatted by using the NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 file system.
You must have a startup key to use BitLocker on a non-TPM computer.
From: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ee449438(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_Key
For more Q&A about BitLocker, you can refer to the link above.
hope this is helpful.

Hi everyone, I’ve some questions about rooting my Xperia Arc S. Hopefully I’ll get helpful answers from you.
If I root my phone, shall I get regular software official updates from Sony?
Currently Sony is rolling out the ICS update. After rooting the phone am I able to upgrade my phone to ICS?
While rooting the phone if any damage is done, can that be recoverable by installing a fresh OS or something?
Does the rooting process delete all the existing contacts, messages, apps etc?
Finally can anyone please provide a full proof guide/tutorial for rooting the Xperia Arc S?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Do you have an app named Super USer ?
Were you on 4.0.4 and then rooted your mobile using this method ?
If yes then your mobile is not rooted for sure
See how to root 4.0.4 here
