Regarding external systems
hi all,
Generally what kind of systems involved in xi(sender ,receiver)
XI can talk with any system which has web service enabled. So With XI you can communicated to any system and can be managed to communicate between to systems which doen't understand the data also.
If you take an example, Frontend you have one webpage, the entered data has to go be saved in different database of diffrent systems(Oracle or MQseries or SQL). So in this case XI will communicate to these systems and provide the data to the frontend.
So in this case Fronend if one becakend is 3 systems but XI only managed to communicate. Now you can understand that what is external systems in point of XI and How it will be communicates is thorugh adapters
Warm Regards,
Vijay

Integration of Financials with external systems
Hi,
I am strugling with an implementation where the client is not sure if Oracle Financials suits his business processes
Overview of situation on Hand:
We do not have the product installed as yet at the client site
Products of Oracle Financials to be used :General Ledger, Account Receivable, Account Payable, Fixed Assets,India Localization Patch
Products of Oracle Applications NOT available for use :
Purchasing, Inventory, Order Management
(All these areas are being covered by developing a customized Bespoke system)
1. Is it possible to use Oracle India Localizations (with regards to the excise functionality, for e.g. claiming of ModVat, the various excise registers that are to be maintained for e.g. RG23 A, RG23C,etc ) in the above situation (without implementing Purchasing, Inventory, and Order Management?).
2. Further, while passing the Vendor’s Bills (in Oracle Payables), one of the criteria for PO Matching is to check if the ModVat has been claimed. Is this functionality available in Payables with the India localization patch?
3. Does Oracle India localization cater for VAT requirements?
4. Is an Open Interface available to transfer Purchase Order data from external systems to Oracle Purchasing tables (which are shared by Oracle Payables the names being PO_HEADERS, PO_LINES, PO_LINES_LOCATIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS, PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_AP_V (VIEW OF PO_DISTRIBUTIONS), PO_RELEASES (Blanket Purchase Orders), PO_LOOKUP_CODES) at transactional frequency? However, if the oracle purchasing module is not being used, can the interface tables of Purchasing be used?
5. An open interface (Payables Open Interface) is available in Oracle Payables to import the Invoices from external systems. While importing these invoices, does the system expect to have the Purchase Order data in the PO tables mentioned in the point above?
6. Is an Open Interface available to transfer Quantity Received/Accepted data from external systems to PO_line_locations table to enable carrying out of 2/3/4 way matching of Purchase orders with invoices? Can the 4 way mathcing be carried out in AP by just importing Purchase Order data??
7. Can the Credit Card Transaction Interface be used for uploading employee expenses / advances settlement (not carried out via credit card) directly from feeder system?
8. Is it possible to use Open Item interface (including import concurrent program) even though Inventory module is not being installed ? If yes, then we would like to use this interface for updating Item master from bespoke system..
9. Can Auto Invoice API be used to import invoices from feeder system / legacy system (via RA interface Tables) into the Oracle receivable invoice tables? Is order number as column a prerequisite for successful completion of Auto Invoice API?
10. Where should the Masters be kept....OF of Bespoke
eg. Employee master, Inventory Item Master etc.
11. What is the best strategy for keeping the data in Bepoke and OF related to Masters in sync?
I have got various answers to these questions .....but some seem to contradict each other.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks,
KamanaDear Kamana,

SAP R/3 to External System RFC issue
Hi Experts,
We have one Peculiar issue in our SAP R/3. Request you to help me in resolving this.
Order Processing:
During Sales Orders Processing, for every line item a RFC is being initiated from SAP R/3 to an external system called Trilogy Pricer to get the Pricing data. Trilogy Pricer sends the Pricing data to SAP R/3 and the respective Orders are being processed in SAP R/3.
Current Issue:
The issue we are facing is that, once the Pricing data is sent to SAP R/3, Trilogy Pricer expects an acknowledgement (RFC_OK) from SAP R/3 in order to release the RFC connection. Intermittently, Trilogy Pricer is not receiving this or any kind of acknowledgement from SAP R/3 causing the connection to hang which is causing several problems.
For example:
On every business day, there will be 50,000 Sales orders.
So, 5 or 10 sales orders are getting hanged every day.
We tried to simulate this issue in Dev and Stage environments by processing 30,000 to 40,000 sales orders.
But we were unsuccessful, which means all the RFC connections were being closed as the external system is able to get the acknowledgements for all those orders from SAP R/3.
We are having this problem only in Prod.
Any thoughts to solve this issue is highly appreciated.
Advance thanks for your great help.
Thanks and Regards,

How do I integrate SAP R/3 with an external system?
Hi there!
I've run into a problem integrating SAP R/3 with an external system. The external system provides a webservice, and when I try to get WSDL file from that service, I am getting asked of authorization and when I authorize, I get error 500. The access is anonymous, as I'm being told. When I try to get just a response, server requests authorization. No matter what login and password I supply, I always get error 401 saying I'm not authorized.
I think the ICF is somewhat misconfigured, but how do I configure it? Or maybe there's a problem with requests I send. I don't know.
Please help!
Regards, DimaHi,
You don't provide any info on how you want to cosnume the web service, but pls check things like

How to find in R/3 System, which FI document is from which external system?
Hi Moderator/ FICO Experts,
How to find in R/3 System, which FI document is from which external system?
In case of different Non-SAP external Systems posting the data to one R/3 System.
Thanks
ChandraHi,
That really depends on the interfaces that your external systems are using. Check with your ABAP or BASIS team to see what is the method used for posting those documents and with which parameters is passed. Look at BKPF table (FI header) to see the attributes such as user, document type, reference, etc.

WM interface to external system
Have anybody ever configured WM interface to external system (t-code OMKY)?
I have a question here and hope you can help:
What's the naming rule when define Logical System, RFC destination, Port and Partner Profile? Should all be defined under one name? In my test, if I only define logical system and partner profile under same name (for example "ABC"), and maintain Port and RFC destination under another name say "XYZ", then I can only sent IDOC but I can't receive the IDOC sent from external system (for example, confirmation of transfer order).
Can anybody shed some light on this question? Your input is highly appreciated.Hi,
Why should the port and RFC destination also use same name as logical system and partner profile? Would you please kindly show me the rule? Ive checked online help and searched extensively on websites without any clear instruction.
In my experinces, usually I setup using the names and make easy for other developer to identfy the interface problems in production as well as for enhancement in the future. Just imagine if you are dealing with hundred interfaces (inbound and outbound) and you have different names for same interface.
Again, you could setup with different names for logical system, RFC and so on.
In case of different name between logical system and port, would you please tell me why we cant receive IDOC sent back by external system? Cant they find the correct partner and port then send IDOC anymore?
Well ... you need to tell the external system what names to use for partner profile and port as part of EDIDC data.

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system
Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.
regards.

Do i need to simply write OPEN SQL statements in RFC or

Setting up RFC's(Creation of Destinations) is not our job.
Someone Please help me in this regard with some valuable input. Thanks in Advance.
Ram.Hi Ram,

External system to XI through TCP/IP
Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where the external system can send messages thru TCP/IP. That will be mapped CC thru RFC
which adapter has to be used for this scenario??? ne suggestions??
Regards,
Teja>>I have a scenario where the external system can send messages thru TCP/IP. That will be mapped CC thru RFC
All transport protocols are working on TCP/IP network. You need to ask the external system's transport ability. Even File can be ftped through TCP/IP network.
>>which adapter has to be used for this scenario??? ne suggestions??
Basic protocols are File and HTTP. If you need synchronous communication with RFC. You can try SOAP or HTTP on the sender side too. -
HR - XI - External System: one IDOC to multiple XML Files
Hi,
I have a scenario where I need, out of one HRMD_A07 IDOC send multiple XML files:
The IDOC and the XML files can the Master data for many employee (IDOC has max of 200 as of SAP, external system, max of 1000).
The IDOC will be generated with change pointers with all the needed filters (I can add/remove if needed).
My goal is to generate 3 types of XML files:
- 1 for the persons (containing basic info like name, firstname, persnr,etc)
- 1 for the various unit (with basic info of unit like number, description & name)
- 1 for the links between persons and units (this person is linked with that unit)
The structures of the 3 XML files are know and can be imported via XSD definition.
Do I need to use BPM for doing so or is there a way to do that with simple mapping?
If BPM is needed, as I new to that, if you have a link to a begginer guide, fell free to send it
Cheers,
greghi,
For your scenario there is no need of BPM.
In message mapping select the message tag.
In the target add 3 message types.
Just map the fields.Go to Interface mapping add the 3 message in the target.
Get the mapping.
In ID sender agreement,Receiver Determination is same.
In Interface Determination select extended.Get the mapping.
Create 3 Receiver agreement for each Receiver.

We can have alternate ways to send IDocs from external system to SAP system. One way is in below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46b/helpdata/en/52/16abf6543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/ru/52/16abcf543311d1891c0000e8322f96/content.htm
I can think of few more, like In external system after generating Idoc, save it as a tex and send it to SAP system using Http post or using web service.
Look out to below discussion.

RFC/FM to store Business document in Purchase Order from external system
Hi All,
I have been going through various threads for suitable solution, but could not find one which can meet our requirements. Appreciate, if you could share your expertise for the following requirement.
Requirement: One of our external system is going to create/change Purchase Orders in SAP using standard BAPI's (BAPI_PO_CREATE1,BAPI_PO_CHANGE etc.,). During this process, they would like to attach supporting documents (.pdf, .jpeg, .xls etc) as 'store business document' for the same PO. As per our current configuration, we can attach the documents as dialog user from ME22N/ME23N transaction and attached documents are stored in our IXOS/ Archive server.
Is there any standard BAPI/FM (RFC) available to achieve above requirement?. And what are the parameters we need to pass in the FM to attach or delete documents.
System Details: SAP ERP ECC6 & Netweaver 7.0
