Restoring the source system connection in BW

Question

Hi all,
I’ve been trying to upload data for 2 of my infocubes, and the extractions are bouncing. The message in R/3 is told me to check the connection. The RFC are fine.  But when I tried to restore the source system connection (RSA1 in BW), it sent me the following error messages:
1.-  Basic type ZS 118 does not exist.
2.-  The following error in the source system:
3.-  Incorrect IDoc type ZSAB023 in the ALE definition of the source system.
The description in each error is:
Error #1:
Diagnosis                                  
    IDoc type ZS 118 could not be found.   
System response                            
Procedure                                  
   Please enter an IDoc type that exists. 
Error #3:
Diagnosis                                                                  
    Incorrect IDoc type ZSAB023 in the ALE definition of the source system.                                                                               
System response                                                            
    Error when sending data to BW.                                                                               
Procedure                                                                  
    Enter IDoc type ZS 118 .                                               
They told me this IDocs are created automatically by the connection. Is that true?
How can I fix this, so that I can restore my connection and do the data extraction?
Thanks a lot
Regards,
Vic

Hi Victor Tostado
1.- Basic type ZS 118 does not exist.
Type Transaction WE30. Check iDoc types Obj. Name :  RSSEND -> press F7
a.) Enter 'RSSEND' in the Obj. Name field.  You will see an entry similar to the one below:
          RSSEND                          Data transfer from the source system (template)
                [-]  E1RSSH               Data transfer IDoc: Header information
                         [+]  E1RSHIE    Data transfer Idoc: Hierarchy header information
                                E1RSTXT   Data transfer IDoc: Texts
     b.) Enter RSREQUST in the Obj. Name field.  You will see an entry similar to the one below:
            RSREQUST                    Data request to the source system
                 [-]  E1RSRH               Data request IDoc: Header segment
                         [+]  E1RSRHI     Data request IDoc: Hierarchy
                         [+]  E1RSRTX    Data request IDoc: Texts
                         [+]  E1RSRMD   Data request IDoc: Master data
                         [+]  E1RSRIS      Data request IDoc: InfoSource
     c.) Enter RSINFO in the Obj. Name field.  You will see an entry similar to the one below:
            RSINFO                         Info IDoc
                [-]  E1RSHIN             InfoIDoc: Status segment
                        E1RSPIN            InfoIDoc: Data packet segment
                        E1RSEIN            InfoIDoc: Error segment
d.) If any of the above do not exist, contact your BASIS Team.
2.- The following error in the source system:
Type Transaction SM59. Maintain RFC destinations
a.)     Open the RFC Destinations. b.) Find your Source System and double click on it. c.) Technical setting should contain information regarding your source system d.) Logon Information should contain source system client and name & password for you remote logon.
3.- Incorrect IDoc type ZSAB023 in the ALE definition of the source system
Type Transaction WE21. iDoc Processing Ports.
receivers port is not available go to WE21 -> create port
a.) Select 'Ports' and then 'Transactional RFC'. b.) Click on the Port # for you source system. c.) Verify description & SAP R/3 versiond. RFC Destination should be one created in SM59. If non-existent then create one.
I) Type Transaction SE16. Data browser (for R/3 -> BW Connections)
Enter RSBASIDOC Print out copy of all entries in table.
II) Type Transaction SM30. Msg Types & Assignment to iDocs
Enter 'EDIMSG' in the Table/View field. Click on the 'Enter Conditions' option for Restrict Data Range. Click 'Maintain'. Select Message Type. Then enter 'RSSEND' in "From' field. Verify that the Basic Type matches what is in your RSBASIDOC table for each of your connections. If any are missing any entries you must create them as follows: Create another session and type Transaction WE30. Enter IDoc Type (ZSBAXXX) in Obj. Name field (Suggestion: Start new type with 'ZS' + Transfer Structure Prefix + (3)#'s) Select Create. Select "Create from Copy'. Enter 'RSSEND" in 'Copy From' field Enter Description (i.e. IDoc Type for BW Development) Execute (Green Check). Repeat for other missing entries.
