SAP Businness connector 4.6 - post SAP ECC Unicode convertion

Hi,
after Unicode convertion of our ECC 6.0 system, SAP Bussiness connector create XML file with encoding UTF-16 (in the past was iso-8859-1). Our custom applictions, that read this .XML files, can't process this files with UTF.16 until we have manualy change from UTF-16 to UTF-8 or iso-8859-1
Now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
In the past:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Can I set into Businness Connector right encoding?
Regards.

Hi,
>You can try to uncheck the Unicode settings in the RFC destination in SAP (transaction SM59) and see how the content arrives >then. But if I remember correctly, this does also not produce the desired effect in BC (receive in iso-8859-1).
already try it without success.
>Apart from that, I see no other option than change the encoding via a BC service or to change the encoding on the application >which receives the FTP file.
OK.
Regards.

SAP Business connector 4.6 with a ECC 6.0 Unicode

Hi,
a SAP Business connector 4.6 is compatible with a SAP ECC 6.0 Unicode ?
Regards.

Hi Ganimede,
I'm not sure if 4.6 is (should be) but 4.8 is definitely UC compatible.

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!

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!

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?

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.

How to install the SAP Java Connector

Hi,
I am unsure how to install the SAP Java Connector on Linux (Suse Linux Enterprise 10). The SAP Integration Kit install and admin guide says:
===
u2022 Copy the librfccm library and the libsapjcorfc library to busines
sobjects_root/enterprise120/PLATFORM_PATH, where busines
sobjects_root is the full path to your businessobjects directory,
and PLATFORM_PATH is your platform. For example, PLATFORM_PATH
is solaris_sparc for an installation on Solaris.
u2022 Use symbolic links for the location of the librfccm library and the lib
sapjcorfc library.
u2022 Add the location of the librfccm library and the libsapjcorfc library
to the library path.
===
Do I have to do all 3 steps or is the 1st one (copying of files) enough?
On the other hand, the SAP Java Connector guide says:
===
Then add {sapjco-install-path} to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Finally, add {sapjco-install-path}/sapjco.jar to your CLASSPATH environment variable.
===
So, what to do?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. So i copied the 2 files as mentioned in point 1.
Where do I have to copy the file sapjco.jar to? There is no shared lib folder after installing BO Edge 3.1 on a Linux system.
I copied the sapjco.jar to /bobje/tomcat/common/lib but still get the message that the Java Connector files are not in the correct directory.
I already copied the files librfccm.so and libsapjcorfc.so to /bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 .
Thanks again!
Edit: problem solved: Copying the sapjco.so to tomcat/shared/lib is correct, if the directory doesn't exist then just create it (mkdir). The message is just plain information 7 hint.

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 Regards

Well, 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

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

SAP DCOM Connector

Hello All,
Is it possible to use DCOM connector technique to make data available in MS Excel from SAP ECC6.0 without going to SAP GUI? I know it was possible in older versions, but I am not sure about ECC 6.0 as now Duet Add-on is introduced.
Thanks and regards,
Chishre

Hi chishre,
You cans till use DCOM connector to upload data into the Excel with the higher versions. However, it is advisable to go with Duet since it has been integrated with SAP Higher versions and SAP made data download and upload easy for the SAP User through this functionality.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Naga

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?
