SAP Business Connector MIME Services to SAP XI Transition

Today we are using the built in MIME services in Business Connector (pub.mime) to format a MIME message, and are then using https to post it to an external business partner by placing the data into the "mimeStream".
Is there a way to perform this same functionality in SAP XI?
Thanks
Peter

Hello 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!

Cannot start widget - Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started

Dear Experts .
I'm trying to enable widget for my company db but getting the following error :
Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started; then wait 1 minute and try again
I can connect to the B1iF locally and remotely .
I have the db configured in the SLD and connects successfully .
I have the event sender service and proxy started and configured for the company db.
I can access the Dashboard web portal and login with database sap credentials (but I see nothing there)
I've checked that there are no duplicate entries in the SSLD table for SBO common (note : 1619422)
I've also tried to re-activate the xelcious from the B1iF->control.
My Setup :
I'm runing SBO server, B1iF installed locally and B1iSN installed on a 3rd party server.
I'm using B1iF as even forwarder for B1iSN.
I know this has been discussed many times through out the forum and I've tried most of the stuff other than clean install.
I would appreciate any input before removing B1iF completely and re-installing.
Thanks in advance ,
Nadav.

SAP Business Connector send XML to SAP

Hello,
There is a BC which should read XML files from a specified folder and send them to SAP via RFC (in IDOC format).
The conection works between BC and SAP fine, gateways are registered and RFC destination has been maintained and tested in SAP.
How/where can I assign the "package" (which contains the folder with XMLs) with the SAP system (it is configured under "Adapters"-->"SAP ..." with correct listeners).
Is the assignment the "Routing rules" or the "Map"?
When should Business Connector start to read the specified folder? Does it start according to "scheduling tasks"?
Where can I monitor the procedures?
Thanks in advance!

To run a java service in SAP business connector.

Hi,
I have created one java service in SAP business connector.When i run it, i get the error as " Service 'rfctest:validatedata' is not operational. To run this service, first recompile the Java source."
I have set the "path" variable,still i am getting the same error.
What should i do to solve this problem?

Hello,
when you call a BAPI from an external system via Business Connector, you will send a bXML document to BC (for example via HTTP). Refer to the SapbcSAPAdapterGuide for how to do that in detail, its good explained (see 4-25 and 7-3) there.
The explanation about sender/receiver is not correct. sender and receiver are the logical system names of the SAP backend system and the external system (check in transaction SALE of the SAP system).
Just send such document to BC, it will create the routing rule automatically. Then complete the routing rule (see 7-2) and activate it.

Using SMTP service in SAP Business Connector

Dear All,
Can any one tell me how to use SMTP service in SAP Business Connectors. My requirement is like I need to send a mail to a particular mail id, if a transaction fails.
Do i need to do some configuration from Administrator side.
What all efforts would be required for the same.
Regards
Siddhesh.

Hi Carlos,
I had escalated the issue to the BASIS/INFRA team. But they say that there is no configuration that can be done on the mail server side ( exchange server ). They told me that some configuration needs to be done from the BC side.
This is what he had to say:
Port 5555 is the non-standard default port used by SAP BC for HTTP connections. For SMTP the default port number is 25.
As far as i understand this port 25 is used when in routing rule we define email transport. But my requirement is like it should first do an http and only in case when http fails it should do SMTP.
So it is not possible to have routing rule with mail transport.
Can you give some inputs from your side.

Siddhesh S.Tawate

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

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.

   2) Any other way of enforcing the RFC time out ??
   3) If there is a way to set timeout on JCO.Client.execute method ??
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 !!

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
Damiano

What 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.

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?

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?

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.
