Regarding Unicode compatibility for Interfaces

Hi,
I was just trying to understand if the interfaces developed in SAP ECC 6.0 are unicode compatible.These are IDOCS that are extended.How should i check? Kindly advice.
Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
in general in a Unicode conversion project, you need to test all your interfaces.
Rather critical cases are Unicode <> MDMP and Unicode <> Double-Byte languages.
Less critical is Unicode <> Unicode.
However in all cases you need to test your scenarios.
Please also have a look at

UNICODE / non-UNICODE switch for interfaces ?

Hello,
after having migrated to UNICODE we face problems with file interfaces.
Obviously, the output files are now in UNICODE format, because the other systems are no longer able to read them.
How do we switch back the output format to single-byte modus, so the file format stays the same as before ?
Thanks, Ruediger Bergmann

Hello Rüdiger
Perhaps the Weblog of Ulrich Brink about
may be helpful to overcome your problem.

You need to use the transaction UCCHECK.
The report documentation is here
ABAP Unicode Scan Tool UCCHECK
You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
Some application-specific checks, which draw your attention to program points that are not Unicode-compatible, are also integrated.
Selection of Objects:
The program objects can be selected according to object name, object type, author (TADIR), package, and original system. For the Unicode syntax check, only object types for which an independent syntax check can be carried out are appropriate. The following object types are possibilities:
PROG Report
CLAS Class
FUGR Function groups
FUGX Function group (with customer include, customer area)
FUGS Function group (with customer include, SAP area)
LDBA Logical Database
CNTX Context
TYPE Type pool
INTF Interface
Only Examine Programs with Non-Activated Unicode Flag
By default, the system only displays program objects that have not yet set the Unicode attribute. If you want to use UCCHECK to process program objects that have already set the attribute, you can deactivate this option.
Only Objects with TADIR Entry
By default, the system only displays program objects with a TADIR entry. If you want to examine programs that don't have a TADIR entry, for example locally generated programs without a package, you can deactivate this option.
Exclude Packages $*
By default, the system does not display program objects that are in a local, non-transportable package. If you want to examine programs that are in such a package, you can deactivate this option.
Display Modified SAP Programs Also
By default, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you also want to check SAP programs that were modified in a customer system (see transaction SE95), you can activate this option.
Maximum Number of Programs:
To avoid timeouts or unexpectedly long waiting times, the maximum number of program objects is preset to 50. If you want to examine more objects, you must increase the maximum number or run a SAMT scan (general program set processing). The latter also has the advantage that the data is stored persistently. Proceed as follows:
- Call transaction SAMT
- Create task with program RSUNISCAN_FINAL, subroutine SAMT_SEARCH
For further information refer to documentation for transaction SAMT.
Displaying Points that Cannot Be Analyzed Statically
If you choose this option, you get an overview of the program points, where a static check for Unicode syntax errors is not possible. This can be the case if, for example, parameters or field symbols are not typed or you are accessing a field or structure with variable length/offset. At these points the system only tests at runtime whether the code is sufficient for the stricter Unicode tests. If possible, you should assign types to the variables used, otherwise you must check runtime behavior after the Unicode attribute has been set.
To be able to differentiate between your own and foreign code (for example when using standard includes or generated includes), there is a selection option for the includes to be displayed. By default, the system excludes the standard includes of the view maintenance LSVIM* from the display, because they cause a large number of messages that are not relevant for the Unicode conversion. It is recommended that you also exclude the generated function group-specific includes of the view maintenance (usually L<function group name>F00 and L<function group name>I00) from the display.
Similarly to the process in the extended syntax check, you can hide the warning using the pseudo comment ("#EC *).
Applikation-Specific Checks
These checks indicate program points that represent a public interface but are not Unicode-compatible. Under Unicode, the corresponding interfaces change according to the referenced documentation and must be adapted appropriately.
View Maintenance
Parts of the view maintenance generated in older releases are not Unicode-compatible. The relevant parts can be regenerated with a service report.
UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
The function modules UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete and cannot run under Unicode. Refer to the documentation for these modules to find out which routines serve as replacements.

Anji

Question Regarding Unicode Checks

Hi Abapers,
What is Need of Transaction:UCCODE, what are the things which i need to check after giving the program name , and executing , what sholud be the out come ... negative means what will happen....
positive means what will happen.....

Need help for interface to process employee expenses

need help for interface to process employee expenses
i have used the interface tables as
AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE
are they the right one
is there a concurrent program or any API for doing interface

hi,
i think what ever table are using for interfacing expenses correct.
but you have to enter invoice type as expense report.

IDOC type for interface between SAP ECC and SAP F&R

Hi Experts,
I need SAP standatd IDOC type for interfacing between SAP ECC and SAP F&R [SAP Forecasting and Replenishment] using message type u201CFRE_LOC_SITEu201D.
Please help me in finding the idoc type?

Hi Denish,
You have 2 ways of loading data from R/3 to APO.
1. R/3 to BW cube to APO-BW cube to APO planning area
or
2. R/3 to APO-BW cube to APO planning area
BW can be a enterprise BW system ( independent) or you can use the BW inbuilt in APO also referred to as APO-BW.
The only difference between the 2 BW systems is APO-BW can not take the load of reporting where as the enterprise BW can.
Unless your company policy requires the enterprie BW system, I suggest using 2nd way.
You can load the data from R/3 to APO-BW cube using extractors either generic or standard depending on your data. You need to have a RFC connection setup between APO-BW and R/3. ( This is not CIF).
When you load the data into the APO-BW cube, you just have to load the data from the cube to APO planning area using the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
Refer to [DP Data Mart|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/13/5ada58309111d398250000e8a49608/frameset.htm] for more information about the data transfer between APO-BW and APO.

Design options for interfacing RFC as Receiver

hello guys ,
Need some ideas in developing a scenario for interfacing RFC as receiver from a stored procedure call on DB side , what would be best and easy way to interface this RFC?
Best regards
Krishna

hi,
but what do you need to know?
you can call stored procureude with sender jdbc adapter
and put the data via RFC
it's better to use an abap proxy but if you cannot use the rfc
you don't need any BPM as this is a jdbc - rfc flow

No endpoints found for interface

Hi All,
I have the following scenario: RFC in the backend system (ECC 6.0 SP09 no EhP's) and PI 7.1 as an Integration Broker.
I have imported the RFC into Enterprise Services Repository and done the necessary tasks to configure an Enterprise Service.
After that I have published the Interface to the Services Registry, Testing the Interface in WSNavigator is working fine.
I have imported the Enterprise Service into Web Dynpro as a model and when running the Web Dynpro application I am receiving the following error:
com.sap.esi.esp.service.server.query.discovery.ExtendedServiceException: no endpoints found for interface TreeInformationQuery_Out
defaultTrace:
Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.exception.WSModelRuntimeException: Exception on creation of service metadata for web service mass config parameters service reference ID 'TreeInformationQuery_Out_FICSIT_BASIC' and application name 'demo.sap.com/ficsit~tree'. Check mass configuration has been done properly.
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.metadata.WSModelInfo.getOrCreateWsrService(WSModelInfo.java:522)
Any idea's?
Regards,
Ridouan

Hi Sergei,
My backend system is ECC 6.0 SP9 (no EhP's) and therefore I can't use the trx SOAMANAGER.
I have imported an RFC from the ECC system into the PI 7.1 Enterprise Services Repository (Builder) and then published the Service (from Sender Agreement) into Services Registry also on the PI 7.1 system.
Testing the service in WS Navigator is working fine, I can see an endpoint here.
Also testing the WSDL with third-party application is working fine.
JAVA Web Dynpro is given me the error: no endpoints found for interface...
Thanks again.
Regards,
Ridouan

Need Help regarding initial configuration for distributed cache

Hi ,
I am new to tangosol and trying to setup a basic partitioned distributed cache ,But I am not being able to do so
Here is my Scenario,
My Application DataServer create the instance of Tangosolcache .
I have this config.xml set in my machine where my application start.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cache-config SYSTEM "cache-config.dtd">
<cache-config>
<caching-scheme-mapping>

<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>*</cache-name>
<scheme-name>default-distributed</scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>
</caching-scheme-mapping>
<caching-schemes>

<distributed-scheme>
<scheme-name>default-distributed</scheme-name>
<service-name>DistributedCache</service-name>
<backing-map-scheme>
<class-scheme>
<scheme-ref>default-backing-map</scheme-ref>
</class-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>

<class-scheme>
<scheme-name>default-backing-map</scheme-name>
<class-name>com.tangosol.util.SafeHashMap</class-name>
<init-params></init-params>
</class-scheme>
</caching-schemes>
</cache-config>
Now on the same machine I start a different client using the command
java -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=near-cache-config.xml -classpath
"C:/calypso/software/release/build" -jar ../lib/coherence.jar
The problem I am facing is
1)If I do not start the client even then my application server cache the data .Ideally my config.xml setting is set to
distributed so under no case it should cache the data in its local ...
2)I want to bind my differet cache on different process on different machine .
say
for e.g
machine1 should cache cache1 object
machine2 should cache cache2 object
and so on .......but i could not find any documentation which explain how to do this setting .Can some one give me example of
how to do it ....
3)I want to know the details of cache stored in any particular node how do I know say for e.g machine1 contains so and so
cache and it corresponding object values ... etc .....
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Thanks for answer.
After digging into the wiki lot i found out something related to KeyAssociation I think what I need is something like implementation of KeyAssociation and that
store the particular cache type object on particular node or group of node
Say for e,g I want to have this kind of setup
Cache1-->node1,node2 as I forecast this would take lot of memory (So i assign this jvms like 10 G)
Cache2-->node3 to assign small memory (like 2G)
and so on ...
From the wiki documentation i see
Key Association
By default the specific set of entries assigned to each partition is transparent to the application. In some cases it may be advantageous to keep certain related entries within the same cluster node. A key-associator may be used to indicate related entries, the partitioned cache service will ensure that associated entries reside on the same partition, and thus on the same cluster node. Alternatively, key association may be specified from within the application code by using keys which implement the com.tangosol.net.cache.KeyAssociation interface.
Do someone have any example of explaining how this is done in the simplest way ..

Error. in WS Navigator - no endpoints found for interface

Dear Friends,
I have created a new Enterprise Service Interface and implemented in ABAP. After the implementation I used SOAMANAGER to create the endpoint and publish the service using WSPUBLISH to Service Registry. When I tested this service from SOA Management application(SOAMANAGER), the endpoint is working very good, but when I am testing this service from Service Registry, it is now showing any endpoint in the 'Enter Input Parameters' Step. Also when I am trying to search the Service by using 'Search by Logical Destination', it shows the Service and when I select it, it shows an error message, "no endpoints found for interface (<namespace>/document)<Service Interface Name>_Document".
If some one knows about this issue, please advice me to do next steps.
Also I am planning to call this service from Visual Composer, I have configured the two logical destinations over there, also the service registry, even though, when i am searching the service, it shows an error like "Could not complete search".
Please advice me for the above issue also.
Thanks in advance
Vipindas

Hi,
If you have configured and tested from SOAMANAGER (which opens WSnavigator) then it is configured correctly. May be you are using wrong WSDL address.
Copy url of wsdl from SOAMANGER test screen and use it directly in WSnavigator for testing.
Regarding publishing of service WSPUBLISH should be able to publish correct service into service registry, but if for any reason it is not working then you can "publish" it directly from service registry by using publish option and provide url of wsdl from above option.
If for any reason VC is unable to search service registry then create destination template for your every service by providing WSDL and use it in VC.

Hi Mauricio!
It only works on Excel versions, which can import XML. The Excel export

OS compatibility for Tools 8.51

Hi,
I'm looking for documentation to know OS compatibility for Tools 8.51.
Where can I find if Win 2008, 64 bit R2 is compatible with tools 8.51 ?
Thank for help.

Click on "Certifications".
Then "Classic Interface".
Then expand the manu "Peoplesoft Enterprise/Tools and Technology/Peopletools/Peoplesoft Enterprise PT Peopletools".
Then, from the left frame, click on "Windows x64 (64-bit)".
Then "2008 R2 (69)".
Then "Server (29)".
Then "Oracle Server-Enterprise Edition (5)".
Then, from the right side, click on the line "Peoplesoft Enterprise PT Peopletools - Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition / 11.2 64-bit".
And eventually you'll get the expected page with all the recommandations.
Nicolas.
