RFC function callls a SAP Business Connector Flow - only upper case

Hi everybody,
I wrote a function in SE37 which is calling a Flow in SAP Business Connector.
R/3 and SAP BC, both are Non Unicode systems.
The export parameter is TYPE makt-maktx.
The call to SAP BC works fine. Only all the text I can see in the pipeline of SAP BC is upper case.
I checked wether the domain of the makt-maktx allows case sensitive texts.
This is OK.
I have no idea how I can tell SAP BC to receive case sensitive texts.
I checked the forums. Seems nobody had such a problem.
Can somebyody help?
Best regards
Jochen
Hi to all,
it was not the JAVA Version, or a bug or whatelse.
I just ingnored while testing in SE37 that there is
a Flag [X] case sensitive - That's all!
Shame on me!
Greetings Joe

Hi Priya
Seeing the messages, it appears that server is down.
"java.net.ConnectException" occurs whenever you try to connect to a system which is not up and running.

Problems with invoke call in browser (SAP Business Connector)

Hallo,
I have a problem with the invoke call in a browser to test a build flow in the SAP Business Connector:
I build a flow which receives a XML file, converts it into a record, then adds some mandatory data to the segment "EDI_DC40", then reconverts it into XML. After that, the XML gets converted into SAP IDOC format. Then I send it via ALE service to the connected SAP System.
The flow works so far if I test it with the "send XML file" function in "Test" menu. But when I test it via a call in the browser, it doesn´t work. The mandatory data in "EDI_DC40" is there, but the Business connector does not recognize the data which comes with the XML for this segment ("MESTYP" and "SNDPRN") - so it can not be transfered to the SAP system. It causes a routing rule error, because sender and message type is unknown.
Does anybody has experiences with that? Is there a difference between browser call and the test function "send xml file"?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kai

Hi,
Just debug your SAP BC service in which you are calling the RFC and check if proper values are getting mappend to your input variables of RFC.
If that is correct than there wont be much chances of problem in BC.

How to HTTP POST data to SAP Business Connector

Hello,
I would like to transfer data from a client with HTTP POST to SAP Business Connector. SAP BC acts as server. In SAP BC I created a Java service containing the code:
IDataCursor idatacursor = pipeline.getCursor();
idatacursor.first("node");
Object obj1 = idatacursor.getValue();
System.out.println(obj1.toString()); //for test
But how can I access the data that was sent with HTTP POST in my service?
Thank you

SAP Business connector sending XML data

Dear all,
I am using an RFC to transfer the data from SAP R/3 to web server. I have to send the data to web server URl via SAP Business Connector in the below format.
I am getting data in RFC sttructure, Now I need to change the above data into XMl and hence need to compress.
The requirement is as below:
The XML message is signed, encoded in base64.
Signed and encoded XML message is compressed in GZIP format.
Can u please share your ideas to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Michal and Prateek,
Thank you very much for your ideas.
This is my flow:
clear XML data -> SIgning with detached signature -> Base 64 encode -> send the data via HTTP port.
I am signing the message using pub.security.pkcs7:sign.
But here problem is I am not able to get the detached signature.
If I select the option Detached signature it is giving only signature.
How can I manage the Detached signature and Message at HTTP port.
Please help me.
Thanks and regards,

SAP Business Connector in xMII 12.0

Hi,
Can somebody help me out about SAP business connector action in transaction? and How to send one XML or Message from SAP xMII 12.0 to SAP ERP system?
Thanks,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
Business Connector is a fairly old middleware technology provided by SAP which can be used to integrate SAP ERP to other applications. It is largely superseded by SAP XI/PI (which provides better, more robust & scalable middleware and A2A integration functionality). MII can connect to XI/PI via its SOAP or HTTP post actions, or via the SAP XI action block for business logic transactions (released via SDN for MII 11.5, and part of the MII 12.0 core product).
For direct connections to ERP systems (e.g. for RFC calls), use the JCo action blocks in MII 11.5, and the JRA actions in v. 12.0.
Hope this helps,
Sascha

These errors don't stop the business connector from starting up, but the errors are not normal behaviour. When I try to start the business connector through a Windows service then I get the message "Could not start the SAP Business Connector Service on Local Computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found".
I have a working business connector installation on a Windows 2000 server, and when I checked the error log of that installation I noticed that it had logged the same errors about the 'WmPartners' package. It on the other hand didn't have any problems loading the 'SAP' package.
I tried installing the business connector on two different systems with identical results. Has anybody been able to get the business connector to work on Windows XP?

Flat File Transfer from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP Business Connector 4.8

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of transferring a flat file from my R/3 SAP 4.7 Box Application Server to the Business Connector 4.8 Box. I am new to SAP Business Connector and I am not to sure whether FTP works if I use a shell script in SAP R/3. Also, is there any way Business Connector Box can pull the file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server.
Any help will be appreciated!!!
Regards,
Subhhrangsu

Hi,
There are many ways thru which you can pass document to SAP BC:
You can HTTP, FTP, Email document to SAP BC.
SAP BC has predefined services for all of them.
For FTP document to SAP BC:
1 Initiate an FTP session on SAP BC Serveru2019s FTP listening port ( this can be found out from SAP BC administrator or from SAP BC homepage).
2 Point to the directory that contains the service to which you want to pass the XML
document.
Example cd \ns\Purchasing\SubmitOrder
3 Copy the XML document to this directory using the following command:
put XMLDoc.xml
Where XMLDoc.xml is the name of the file that you want to pass to SAP BC Server.
Example put PurchaseOrder.xml
Above code can be written in a batch file and you can schedule it to run at interval of minutes.
You can write java client program as well to upload file and map it to String variable of Flow service of SAP BC.
As Micheal said, you can look at sapbc/Developer/doc folder to look for more options.
Best Regards,
Divyesh

JCO Timeout for SAP Business Connector 4.7

Environment :
Windows 2000, SAP Business Connector (BC) 4.7
General Description :
SAP BC is used to invoke BAPI's in the SAP R/3 system.
Issue :
Some BAPI's are taking some time to return response depending on user load. Need to provide a timeout for RFC calls invoked by SAP BC using JCO.
Following is the entry in the rfc trace log file when BC starts up ...

I really appreciate your help !!

I have tried changes the connection timeout value but if doesnot affect the time RFC. Following is from SAP BC adapter guide ..
Delay (minutes) until an unused connection to a SAP
System is timed out (default: 5)
I think I need similar setting as that for RFC connection !!

WebMethods Integration Server Vs. SAP Business Connector 4.7 (BC)

Hi All
       We have to integrate non SAP systems and SAP systems for that we have 2 options
1)   SAP Business Connector 4.7 (BC)
2)   webMethods Integration Server
       which one will be better option for this kind of POC by considering all the issues like interaction with SAP RFC or IDocs, performance, load balancing, salability, maintenance, etc.
     please tell us pro's and cons of both to decide upon which is better option.
     Thanks in Advance
Thanks
Ninad

It is the same product, with different branding.
The only thing is that SAP consider the SAP BC end-of-maintenance, and suggest to use XI.

Any supports for SAP Business connector

Hello!
Has anyone knowledge in following areas:
- Has the SAP Business connector still any supports?
- What is the procedure to connect Lotus Notes and ERP 2005 (Do we need RFC-connects or RFC/BAPI?)
- Which support package stack and which kernel version are mandatory for Source Release 4.6c?
Thank you!

Axel

Hi,
Fisrt of all pls don't cross post the same question(s) over different forums.

SAP Business Connector certificate problem

We are trying trying to send data from SAP to bank via SAP business connector using bank URL. We have configured the certificates in SAP BC which are authenticated by bank on the basis of private key generated from our server. Now when we trying to post data to bank it is giving below error.
java.lang.RuntimeException: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by TrustDecider
Any idea? Please give me some suggestions to resole this problem.
Thanks and Regards

Normally I do not like to give documentation references, but in this case I think it makes sense. Certificate handling is an ugly and complicated topic, so many things can go wrong. Please check the SAP BC 4.7 Administration Guide, page 103 onwards ("Securing communications with the server"). It explains very well what needs to be done. Make sure you configured everything correctly.

Finding message in SAP Business Connector with IDoc number

Hi Experts,
Since there is no separate forum for Business Connector, posing my question here.
Does anyone have idea how we can find a message in SAP Business Connector if we know the source IDoc number, the same way we use IDX5 in PI.
Thanks,
Dhawal

AFAIK there is no simple way. What I usually do is compare timestamps. The Idoc is usually processed on the B.C. within the same minute.
We only have up to 10 Idocs within one minute and I do not have to search every day. So it works for me.
