SAP Business Connector and EDI
Hi,
I need to implement a new EDI version to use within Business Connector. However, I cannot remember where to extract the EDI template files from. Has anybody done this before and can inform me where to extract the EDI template files from.
Thanks

Forwarding XML/EDI from SAP Business connector to EDI (cloverleaf)
Hello,
We are having issues setting SAP up to work with the business connector and our EDI system - cloverleaf.
For testing, we would like to:
1. Create an idoc in SAP and send it to the Busness Connector.
2. Have the busness connector send the doc via XML to our EDI system cloverleaf.
Currently, I have things setup like so:
SAP/ECC6:
SM59: RFC setup as type T and works fine.
WE20: Partner Type LS:
I have 2 message types setup (in outboard: I have "orders" and in Inbound I have the same).
in WE21: I have a cloverleaf (our EDI system) to run with the RFC destination I setup in SM59.
On the Business connector, I have the following under routing rules:
From SAP to the Business connector:
Sender: 8805
Reciver: 10000000008
Message Type: Orders
ACL Group: none
Package: default
Main Flow Services: wm.PartnerMgr.flows.88605.1000000008:ORDERS
Transport: ALE (R3/IDOC)
SAP destination: RD1 (our sid).
FOR my outgoing to our EDI system cloverleaf:
I am using the sender: * - Not sure if this should be SAP or the BC.
Reciver: * - Our EDI system. our EDI system is listening on port 49001.
Message Type: Orders
Under URL (not sure about this one)
I have http://reg2lxap0725:5555/MessagingSystem/receive/BcAdapter/BC
I am however stummped on how the URL shold look..
Now, when we test the above config... I recive the following results in WE02.
0000000000003024 25 03 Green Light: IDoc Successful Green LS/ /SAPBC ORDERS05 ORDERS Outbox CLOVERLEAF
For some reason, we also have an "inbound" that fails.
0000000000003025 25 56 Red Light: IDoc Has Errors KU/ /0000088605 ORDERS05 ORDERS Inbox SAPRD1
My main question is however around routing...
We are trying to send these to our EDI system which is listening on 49001.
I am not sure how they want us to setup the routing rules to pass this over to the right port..
I have also searched the documentation, and have not found any real step by step guides, so I may be missing a few things..
Any advice to point me to the right direction is greatly appriciated....
Thanks everyone,
RichardHello Prateek,
Thank you very much for your answer. The AdapterGuide was really helpfull.
Now the routing rule is associated to the correct Service (that was a the problem). So the rule started to process the XML files from the folder (the XML files disappeared immediately after I corrected the rule).
But now my problem is that on the SAP side there is no inbound IDOCs so it seems the trasmission may failed.
Moreover under "Routing"-->"Transactions" I don't see these entries with the the current date.
Our routing rule is simple: "wildcard" "wildcard" "wildcard" "ALE (R/3 IDOC)"--><OUR SAP SYSTEM>
The SAP connection is working as I can test under "SAP..." menu.
Is there any other way to monitor what had happened with these XML files? I'm sure the BC processed as the files are gone, but there is no IDOC in the destination SAP...
Thanks a lot! -

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!!!

SubhhrangsuHi,
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.

SAP Business Connector 4.8 and Webmethods EDI Package WmEDI
Hello,
we want to upgrade our SAP Business Connector to 4.8 and need to install the EDI package provided by Webmethods earlier.
We now figured out, that the EDI package is not provided anymore for download in the SAP Service Marketplace.
Any idea, how to get the EDI package (WmEDI)?
Is it not free anymore?

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?HI,
I have no idea clearly about BC.. but ..

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!

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 RegardsNormally 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,
DhawalAFAIK 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. -
Is SAP Business connector required for faxing of scripts....
Hi,
Do we need to have SAP Business connector if we want to fax the script or form ?
Regards,
RajeshNo, it is not required. At my company we use a third party software to handle all faxes. Really it is setup SAP as an output device, so it is just like printing to a printer. THe only differences is we need to have a header page in the sapscript which gives all of the details of the fax to the third party software. This software then strips off this first page and faxes the rest of the pages.
It is called RightFax and it runs on a separate server.

Old version of SAP Business Connector (4.6)
Hi,
where can I download old versions of SAP Business Connector?
in BC section ([http://service.sap.com/sbc-download|http://service.sap.com/sbc-download]) there are only 4.7 and 4.8 installation package and upload.
thanks
DamianoWhat is the reason for staying on 4.6 ?
Did you develop many complicated packages and are afraid they wont work anymore in 4.7. That should not be the case.
By the way, if someone answers your question, you are encouraged to give the points to that person and not just mark the question as answered but I will answer your questions about BC anyway, if needed.

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
NinadIt 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.

PI 7 to SAP Business Connector Connectivity
Dear Gurus,
I have to connect our ECC 6.0 System to another ECC 6.0 System using B2B scenario. For B2B purposes we are using PI 7 while the other party is using SAP Business Connector (SAP BC) as it's front-end-tool for ERP-to-ERP connectivity. I am a Basis Consultant and I have been given the task of doing this connectivity. I have never worked on any business connector. Can anyone guide me in this? We do not have any PI Consultant
Also advice what infrastructure will be needed to complete this connectivity
Request you all gurus to kindly advise asap
Best RegardsWell, a PI consultant would be a better choice as you will have to learn some basics before you can implement your project. PI is not an easy system as business connector and it requires deeper skills and expertise on the tool, but with some effort, certainly you can do it yourself.
I do not have any experience on the administration of a dispatcher, so I cannot guide you on that subject. But after achieving the connectivity between the two dispatchers, the rest is the PI development task.
It seems that your scenario is not really a hard one. Play around with the tools(in PI) and try sample scenarios to get used to it. Here are some for your convenience:
And the PI (formerly called XI) library that covers almost everything is here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0f/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
With the help of the documentation and the sample scenario blogs, you will be able to develop your scenario. But gathering the required skill will take about a month or so, depending on your performance.
After learning the basics, you also need to work on monitoring, alert definitions, going live pratice etc. also which you can also find examples in the blogs. Furthermore, if the messages exchanged are to be changed before reaching the ERP on the PI side, you will also need some mapping practice. Here are two blogs which will teach you graphical mapping in PI:
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/16/message-mapping-simplified--part-i
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/08/message-mapping-simplified-150-part-ii
A B2B scenario can be partly auto-configured after definition of relevant integration scenario in the Integration Builder so it might be a good idea to learn it. I'm assuming you don't need any business processes(which automates A2A and B2B processes, for example a full order-to-cash scenario involving many systems and communications with business logic), so you will mostly need configuration instead of development. You also won't need any ABAP or Java skills in your case.
The content on SDN about PI is pretty rich so I don't think you will be short on examples and instructions. Just search when you need something, almost every aspect is covered by now.
Hope these are useful, feel free to ask anything you may need.

Gökhan
