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 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!
Terence

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!

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,
Richard

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 XML File processing

Hi All,
we're using SAP Business Connector to process XML Files (from NON-SAP system).
XML-Files are mapped to IDOCs and sent to our sap-system in order to create purchase orders.
Let's say we have 3 Purchase Orders (XML) in our SAP BC input directory,
the first purchase order has a header text (customer field), the following 2 dont. After processing the xml-files all 3 Idocs have the same header text of the first purchase order.
How can i change this behaviour?
Regards
REA

Hello Ramy,
You have to check this logic of t BC. if you want to check the Idocs then goto WE02 in SAP.
if you are using message type PORDCR1 then check segment E1BPMEPOTEXTHEADER or PORDCR thne check segment E1BPEKPOTX

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.

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.

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

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

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.

SAP Business Connector Error

Guys,
Do you know what this error in SAP Business Connector means:
Missing or Invalid Parameter:Sender
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sathya

Now this is a broad question_
I guess you mean: IDOC handling
This means usually, that the Sender ID is not set up properly in the BC (Send/Reveice Rules). In case you don't have a 1:1 mapping, use the '*' for ALL.
Can you please give more specific information:
where is the Error (Log, Popup-message etc),
what is the context (BAPI CALL, IDOC etc)

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.
Regards,
Siddhesh S.Tawate
