I have created a single article or generic article from t.code MM41. But what is the t.code to send the article to XI. If idoc what i'm using is wrong, then which is the right one.
Pl. do the needful.

Answer 1

hi,
SLD-
1) Create a Product/Software Component
2) Technical System pointing to R/3 system
3) Business System for the above technical system
In the Repository
1) Import the Software component created in the sld
2) Create a namespace,
3) import the idoc and then create sender data type/message type etc and mapping
4) Mapping Rules is depends on the requirement
In the Directory
1) Create a Scenario /import the business system
2) Create Receiver/Interface determination
3) Create communication channels for sender and receiver
4) Sender Agreeement and Receiver Agreement.
XI:
1. SM 59 - Create RFC destination pointing to R3.
2. IDX1 - Create a port for R3
3. IDX2 - Import IDOC metadata.
if you have any other doubts regarding IDOC-XI-FILE scenario, please go through the information below and clear all your doubts.
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You don’t need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you don’t have a sender agreement as you don’t have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.
IDOC -> File scenario ref:
IDoc-XI-File scenario
File -> IDOC ref:
File to IDOC
To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:
