RFC with External system

Hi,
We are trying to develop interface with external system to calculate the shipping costs for a delivery. We will establish RFC connection between SAP and External system.
Do we need SAP .NET connector to send and receive data from/to SAP. SAO shouls act as client and external system as server. If we have to use SAP .NET connectore, can anyone explain me the detailed process of using SAP .NET connector and connecting to external system.If there is anyother way without using SAP .NET connector, i.e by using RFC function modules, can you please xplain that process too. What is the program ID for RFC destination in SM59?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ashok.

setting the program id you need a person with the knowledge of both the system, with the current input it will be difficult to help with that.
since you are in 4.6C the available options are
1. DCOM connector
2. .net connect
3. JCO
4. or a plain http call to your external system.
Regards
Raja

How to call RFC from external System to get HR Data

According to the requirement the "HR" Workflow has to be able to view the employee details from external system Using the standard Microsoft connectors.
So, my job is to create an RFC where i need to fetch the HR data from the infotypes P0001 and P0002. And they will call this RFC by requesting employees surname, ID number and/or Employee number.
Do i need to simply write OPEN SQL statements in RFC or
do i need to call any BAPI's?
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,
to get the information from HR sytem you could call the BAPI
BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA

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,
Kamana

BPM - Interact with external system

Hi Experts,
We are implementing a project with BPM Suite Version 1.1.1.6 (PS5). A requirement is the following things:
- The BPM process begins through a human task.
- Upon completion of the human task, the flow must interact asynchronously with an external system through a webservice. The BPM system sends data to external system.
- The user interacts with the external system and runs a couple of tasks.
- After completing the activities in the external system, the BPM should be receiving an event to continue with the main flow was in wait.
The question is....as an external system can reactivate a BPM process that is in wait hoping the event.
Thank you very much.

Investigate the use of the Call activity. If the external process is long-running, you might use a Service activity in conjunction with correlations.

Connection with external System using AS2/SFTP adapter.

Hi All,
I need to use SFTP/AS2 to connect to an external Server which is not in our landscape.
Can anybody could help whether i need to create a party on the Sender side as sender system is an external Server.
I have gone through many docs but i am not clear when to use party and when not..?
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Whether to use a party or not is both an architectural question as well as a development question.
Architecturally, if an external server is not in your landscape and belongs to a different company/entity, your scenario would be a B2B process. You can refer to the below link for more details about B2B, but I've included a short snippet below too.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/c7a475da5e31ebe10000000a42189b/content.htm
Using a communication party, you address a company that is involved in a B2B process.
The (technical) name of the communication party (for example Bosch) is the identifier for the company within an Integration Directory. To be able to identify the company during any external communication using a globally unique ID, you specify alternative identifiers for a communication party. For external communication, the name of the communication party that is known internally is mapped to the ID. A particular identifier is specified in the communication channel (see below).
In terms of development, not all adapters (FTP, SFTP, SOAP, etc) require the use of a party object when you develop a B2B integration scenario. There are companies which have implemented all B2B scenarios using those adapters in an A2A style (using just Business Systems.)
As Harish has mentioned, if you use the Seeburger AS2 adapter, you will need the party object (AS2ID is configured there), but if you use the SFTP adapter, it is optional.
For your case, I'd recommend going with Party to clear distinguish that it is a B2B process.

Issue when Calling the RFC from external system

Hi,
I have created one RFC, in which I am using one function module to get the material customer status.
Functional Module name is "QC01_BATCH_VALUES_READ".
When I run this in SAP, it is giving a value for Cusotmer Status. But when this RFC is called from .Net system it is not returning any value for this field.
Even I used a different function module 'CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS' for the same, in this also in SAP it is doing good, but when it is called from .Net, the program is giving dump.
Please help me to resolve this issue
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Issue can be either in the .NET program or in the RFC destination creation.
1)
Check whether data types of .NET program which is calling the SAP function module are correct.
If there are issues with data types, program dont report if you dont so explicitly.
2) Check whether RFC destination you are giving in your .NET program is correctly configured in
SAP , verify by testing the same.
Apart from above two reasons, I dont see any other major reasons for not getting correct results.

Krishna

It doest not matter to what client you are connecting using the wizard for RFC in SMSY.

Interface with external system

Hello Experts,
The query i am posting is very naive and mite seem vague to you but I am doing it for a sure shot methodological approach. My client have an vendor system that they want to interface. All the information I have is
1> I will get the XML schema frm the guys of that company.
2> XI is installed in my company.
Can you tell me wat all things i need to configure and how can i go about achieving this?
thanks and please advise me,
Mehta

Hi Gaurav,
you will have to provide more details like who is your sender, who is your receiver etc....
i would recommend that you go through the SAP help documentation and follow the pipeline steps.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
You will have to perform the basic steps to get your thing (XSD) into XI.
1. In the Integration Builder - Integration Repository; You take your XSD provided by the vendor and create an interface out of it. This depends whether your vendor is sending (Outbound Interface) or receiving (Inbound Interface) the data.
2. Then add this interface to your service in the configuration (Integration Directory).

Attendance recording integration with external system

Hi,
there is a scenario where an employee punches in and out to enter and leave his office. This information like employee number, date, mode(in/out) etc is collected in a flat file. How this information can be captured in R/3? Do we need IDOC or XI or both or BAPI? kindly respond.
Regards,
Murali.

Hi,
You have to maintain Infotype 0050 and to upload the information you can use BDC or any other interface ( time in time outs will be writtten to the table CCITYEV and after processing will be stored in TEVEN table.)
You need an ABAP program that can transfer data from third party systen to R/3. This is the simplest way. Without XI we can integrate the system.
This can be done in so many ways .

Kapil Kaushal

How to configure a Logical System for XI External System

I'm following the 'How to configure SAP XI to use the standard SAP communications APIs (idoc, pabi, rfc) from external system - How to create XI content with the Integration Builder' document.
I have everything configured, but in section 6.7 when I try to do a transaction BD10 on to send a MATMAS01 idoc using my Logical System IQS_EXTERN to my external system, it says '1 master IDocs set up ...', then it says '0 communication IDocs generated ...' and my external system does not get the IDoc. The NX7 Integration Engine does not get a message from SAP_CE8 to IQS_EXTERN.
How do I specifically configure my Logical System IQS_EXTERN to communicate with my external system via XI (NX7)?
I'm using the ICC Test-System CE8, SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 IDES and the NX7 Exchange Infrastructure (http://iccpi7.sap.com/rep/start/index.jsp).
Thanks,
Ed Culnane

Check whether you have setup Partner profile for receiving system ( Here its XI system). You need to create outbound parter profile for XI system.
Check out this forum ...

Debug RFC called from external system with no dialog user

Hi all,
We need to debug the rfc function module which is called from the external system( Siebel ) .
The user id is not dialog user so can not set external debugger.
Need you help.
Thanks,
Anmol.

Hi Suhas,
Nice to know you became Moderator...
Hmmm the solution you provided was the last option..
Any ways the issue is resolved we changed the user to dialog user and then debugged the code.
Thanks a Lot,

Is it possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external system without SAP PI?

Hi,
as asked in the title, i am wondering if it is possible to integrate LSO 600 with an external (non-SAP) system without using SAP PI/XI. The external system is a middleware application which can handle RFC functions, IDocs besides the usual web service communications.
However, i don't know how LSO and SAP PI are integrated so i wonder if their interfaces are such that instead of SAP PI another middleware could be used.

Web Services are used. If you were to implement the services in your 3rd party middleware and configure SAP to call it, I suppose it is possible. The external course catalog can be used for CourseEnrollment and LearningProgress. See the application help for details. Don't expect to receive support from SAP with such a setup however.

Error while connecting to external system in SM59 with ICM_HTTP_SSL_ERROR

Hi all,
we have configured an SM59 RFC destination of G type which pings to the external third party server. Before testing we have uploaded the external server certificate in PI system. it was working fine with * HTTP 200 OK* message. since 2 days we are facing the ICM_HTTP_SSL_ERROR while testing the connection. when we telnet from PI to the external system using the port no.443, its getting connected.
so any idea why it started giving the error.
We have check out this forums but of no help.
