Secure IDOC transfer to external via XI

Hi
I would like to send an IDOC to external customer R/3 system.
Below option is unsecured FTP communication, and customer may not agree to accept to open the FTP port.
My R/3 IDOC fileFTP>XIFTP>Customer FTP server<--Customer R/3
What are the other options of secure IDOC file transfer?
Kindly advise, thanks a lot in advance.
//PSL

Hi,
>>1. So, the IDOC will be transferred via ALE RFC or EDI file transfer?
1. yes via RFC
we also send RFC requests in the same way
(r3 rfc -> XI -> saprouter) -> (saprouter -> r3)
>>2. Is there any guide I can use for setting up the saprouter to external party.
2.sorry don't know that our basis people do that
but probably yes

Data transfer thru lsmw via bapi

how to perform data transfer thru lsmw via bapi.
Thanks.

HI
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)

BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.
BAPI with LSMW
http://esnips.com/doc/ef04c89f-f3a2-473c-beee-6db5bb3dbb0e/LSMW-with-BAPI
For document on using BAPI with LSMW, I suggest you to visit:
http://www.****************/Tutorials/LSMW/BAPIinLSMW/BL1.htm
What are the methods to migrate data from a legacy system to SAP?
LSMW is used for migrating data from a legacy system to SAP system, or from one SAP system to another.
Apart from standard batch/direct input and recordings, BAPI and IDocs are available as additional import methods for processing the legacy data.
The LSMW comprises the following main steps:
Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).
Convert data (from the source into the target format).
Import data (to the database used by the R/3 application.
But, before these steps, you need to perform following steps :
Define source structure : structure of data in the source file.
Define target structure : structure of SAP that receives data.
Field mapping: Mapping between the source and target structure with conversions, if any.
Specify file: location of the source file
Of all the methods used for data migration like BDC, LSMW , Call Transaction which one is used most of the time?
How is the decision made which method should be followed? What is the procedure followed for this analysis?
All the 3 methods are used to migrate data. Selection of these methods depends on the scenario, amount of data need to transfer. LSMW is a ready tool provided by SAP and you have to follow some 17 steps to migrate master data. While in BDCs Session method is the better choice because of some advantages over call transaction. But call transaction is also very useful to do immediate updation of small amout of data. (In call transaction developer has to handle errors).
SO Bottom line is make choice of these methods based of real time requirements.
These methods are chosen completely based on situation you are in. Direct input method is not available for all scenario, else, they are the simplest ones. In batch input method ,you need to do recording for the transaction concerned. Similarly, IDoc, and BAPI are there, and use of these need to be decided based on the requirement.
Try to go through the some material on these four methods, and implement them. You will then have a fair idea about when to use which
You can create lsmw for data migration as follows (using session method):
Example for xk01 (create vendor)
Initially there will be 20 steps but after processing 1 step it will reduced to 14 for session method.
1. TCode : LSMW.
2. Enter Project name, sub project name and object name.
Execute.
3. Maintain object attributes.
Execute
select Batch Input recording
goto->Recording overview
create
recording name.
enter transaction code.
start recording
do recording as per ur choice.
save + back.
enter recording name in lsmw screen.
save + back
Now there will be 14 steps.
2. MAINTAIN SOURCE STRUCTURES.
Here you have to enter the name of internal table.
display change
create
save + back
3. MAINTAIN SOURCE FIELDS.
display change
select structure
source_fields->copy fields.
a dialogue window will come .
select -> from data file
apply source fields
enter No. of fields
length of fields
attach file
save + back
4. MAINTAIN STRUCTURE RELATIONS
display change
save + back
5. MAINTAN FIELD MAPPING & CONVERSION RULE
display change
click on source field, select exact field from structue and enter
repeat these steps for all fields.
save+back
6. MAINTAIN FIXED VALUES, TRANSACTION, USER DEFINED
execute
save + back
7. SPECIFY FILES.
display change
click on legacy data
attah flat file
give description
select tabulatore
enter
save + back
8. ASSIGN FILE
execute
display change
save + back
9. IMPORT DATA.
execute
display change

Loading Invoice XML IDoc with digital signature via XI into R/3

Hi,
I received an Invoice XML IDoc with digital signature via Mail (for test purposes) and want to load it via XI into an R/3 systeme.
My idea is to load the Invoice XML IDoc file via the File Sender Adapter into XI and send it to the R/3 system via the IDoc Inbound adapter.
Due to the digital signature the file looks like this:
0 S      *H÷
   D0 @   1 0       +      0 '      *H÷
      0 0 û      etc.
When I load the file like this with the File Sender Adapter, an error message occurs in the XI Monitoring as the XML Parser cannot read the file due to the digital signatur (as expected).
Has anybody an idea how I can configure the File Sender Adapter Communication Channel to be able to load only the XML IDoc and ignore the digital Signature strings?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Alex

BTW
do use the second way you need:

Outbound delivery creation with inbound IDOC transfer from Java system

Dear Experts,
       The scenario we are having is really very interesting. Hopefully its a good learning for me and also for others also.
The scenario is,
               After sales order creation the details will be sent to one Non SAP system (Java) for performing some tasks related to forwarding agent decision, shipping date and etc. Once the details are finalized in that Java system then, the details needs to be transferred to SAP as "Inbound IDOC" process. For this proposed to use the SAP Jco middle ware.
             Once the details transfered from Java system to SAP then, the outbound IDOC needs to get generated automatically. Assuming the stock for that sales order line item is available. Also one more complexity is, our client is using custom transaction (ZVl10C) for delivery creation.
Now Query is,
               1. Which IDOC, message type and Functional module needs to be used for creating the delivery automatically..??
               2. As per assumption, stock of that sales order line item should be available. Due to some business reason the stock was removed during inbound IDOC transfer then, what will happen to the IDOC..?. How to avoid this situation..??
               3. As we told we are re going to use SAP Jco b/w SAP & Java system. In this case, how the data will get transfered from Java system to SAP..?
Thanks in advance for the replies I am going to get
Regards,
VEL

MATERIAL LINK TO ONE SAP SYSTEM TO ANOTHER SAP SYSTEM FOR IDOC TRANSFER

Hi Experts,
How the MATERIAL LINK TO ONE SAP SYSTEM TO ANOTHER SAP SYSTEM FOR IDOC TRANSFER?
Scenario : when 2nd system create the invoice,it will create a po in the 1st system.
51 error msg we are getting material does not exists.but the material is available in the receiving plant.
Please suggest

If you say the material master is available in the 1st system (where you create the order), then the material number in the IDOC may not match with the material number in your database.
leading zeros. material number stored as alphanumeris instead of numeric.

Data loss in the secure file transfer using java

Hi,
My java Appllication uses the sftp(secure file transfer protocol) for file transferring. when the load is high like 150 GB , data loss occuring for some files especially last chunk of data is missing.
Core file transfer code
while (true)
int read = bis.read(buffer); //Reading bytes into the byte array (buffer) from network stream (bis).
if (read==-1) {
break; //Break the loop, if there are no more bytes available in the InputStream.
bos.write(buffer,0,read); //Writing the same number of bytes what we read into buffer byte array into OutputStream
complete.update(buffer,0,read); //Giving the same number of bytes what we read above to the checksum calculation.
bytesSoFar += read; //Incrementing the bytes that we have read from the source.
//if the bytes transferred are equal to the source file size
If (bytesSoFar == fileInfo.getFileSize().intValue())
// Calculate the file checksum.
// Update DbAuditLog with checksum and no. of bytes read
else
// Update DbAuditLog with no. of bytes read
bos.flush();
Please help , why the data loss is happening when the big size files transfer
Note:
1.150 gb not a single file multiple files.
2.SFTP no java specific API, So connection is happening through java .io.sockect connection

so, if you are not getting any exceptions, yet the data is incorrect, it sounds like you are having actual network issues. i'd start looking at things like the actual network cards in the computer as well other equipment involved in the transfer. since you are not getting exceptions, the network stack obviously thinks nothing was lost over the wire, so either the actual hardware has issues, or the network stack, or the issue is on the sending end. the last possibility is that the client is somehow munging the data it is sending. do you control the client code? if so, i'd start checking the client side code for bugs (and/or post it here).
also, i'm assuming that all of the variables included in your original code are thread local (you aren't sharing any of those buffers/streams/etc between multiple threads).

IDOC transfer from ECC to XI

Hi
Im trying to trigger an IDOC transfer automatically when a material is created to XI system.
I activated matmas change pointers and I'm able to create IDOC but its not getting transferred to XI system. IDOC status is 03 - sent to port OK.
What are the configurations I should take for registering the port in XI? And why is that in WE 20, in creating partner profile, Im unable to select message type, matmas in inbound and outbound parmaters?
Thanks
Subbu

Can anyone send me a document which describes a complete end to end scenario?
I have seen the forum and the blogs but none decsribe the complete end-to-end scenario.
Plz reply at the earliest.

there is no document as sucj available on SDN that will help u implement the above scenario. But you can have help on
1. sending the IDoc to XI - Ref: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SAPR3%28Idocs%29ToXI--Steps+Summarized
2. IBMMQ - you will have to use the JMS adapter. To receive help on configuring the receiver JMS adapter ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/10/b1b4c8575a6e47954ad63438d303e4/content.htm

How to send IDOC's to external systems

Hi everybody,
I'd like to get information of how I can send one IDOC to an external system.
I have to send data about access control and e-learning from R/3 to external system, I think an IDOC is the perfect way to do it, but I don't know all the steps involved.
Could anyone explain me or give some document or link in with I could see all the steps from the selection of the IDOC (What to do if the idoc doesn't fit exactly) until the IDOC is out of the r/3 system, how to configure the ALE, etc
Thank you very much.

This document might be helpful:
http://www.angeli.biz/www5/books/IDocBook/IDocBook.pdf
It's a bit outdated but most of the info is still actual. If you anticipate a lot of ALE/IDoc projects, I suggest getting this book: http://www.amazon.com/IDoc-Technologies-Prima-Techs-Book/dp/0761534318/sr=8-1/qid=1170864257/ref=sr_1_1/103-6659593-2860615?ie=UTF8&s=books
It is out of print right now but I've heard that more copies are coming out this year. This is the most comprehensive book available on the market at this time.

Transfer OTL Time via Selfservice Timecard to Elements in HR?

Hi,
We want to transfer OTL data via Selfservice TimeCard to Elements in HR for R12. I followed
all steps from the implementation guide and the problem is now that the LOV
for (Hours) Type in selfservice timecard is empty.
One of the problems is that we don't now which options to set in preferences
For example application set, we can choose payroll and/or Human Resource.
Which one do we need to choose on this set, we don't use Oracle Payroll in HR, but we have created
a payroll definition in HR.
Has anybody a checkup list of steps to follow to get this working
Thanks,
Kaan

Hi,
Could you be more specific. I still don't know which application set to choose?
I got now ''Time Store Application Set'' and preference value ='Human Resources and Payroll'

Idoc transfer problem

Hi friends..
Im facing the idoc transfer issue for the last 4 days more frequently...with the idoc status 64.
I went through some notes,and i think every time manually pushing the idoc is not the right solution..
can anyone give some input to solve this issue permanently....
thanks & regards
ragu

thanks riccardo and raj..
i checked the r/3 source system connectivity,it is not ok.
so i think it is related to that the idocs are not getting transferred properly.
now we re activated the source system in admin workbench.
so do i need the replicate the data sources again,or i can just continue without doing any other changes..
Regards
ragu

IDOC Transfer

I am doing a IDOC transfer from a HR system to RPM system. I have done the required ALE configurations in both the systems. But on creating idoc (PFAL tranx) from HR side the idoc is created with the error
"Could not find code page for the recieving system "
The description states
"For the logical destination PCCCLNT100, you want to determine the code page in which the data is sent with RFC. However, this is not currently possible, and the IDoc cannot yet be dispatched."
Is there any configuration i missed out... ?

Hi Roshith R,
1. 1st chk the status of the IDoc if the status is 03 it means taht the data passed to port is ok.
2. Then Run the Program RBDMOIND in se38.
3. Then chk the status of the IDoc in we05 if the status changes from 03 to 12 then it means the IDoc has been posted sucessfully or despatch ok.
4. In the reciever system chk the status of Inbound IDoc in we05.
5. In the reciever system go to we19 get the Idoc numbr from we05
6. Place the Idoc number n execute.
7. There will a FM avaliable thro which u can process.
Regds.

PSA Vs IDOC transfer method

Hello BW Experts,
Most of the time i have observed the PSA data transfer method being used.
1) if the use of psa transfer method is only for the purpose of having the temporary storate, then can we go for the IDOC method if we are not using the temporary storage.
2) What is the advantage of using IDOC method over PSA when the temporary storage for the load is not required.
Thanks,
BWer

Hi,
Persistent Staging Area is a transparent database table in which request data is stored in the form of transfer structure.A PSA is created per datasource and source system. It represents an initial store in BW in which the requested data is saved unchanged for source system.PSA
1) Checks whether extraction from source system is complete
2)ensures data quality,supports editing,reconstruction and deletion of data.
IDoc is an Intermediate Document container for exchanging data between R/3,R/2 and non-SAP systems.
It is a data transfer wherein the data is in the form of packets.
It is used in the case of flatfiles as debugging is easier.
IDoc method - The data is packed into IDocs by the source system and sent to BW.
PSA - In this method the data from the source system is stored in PSA tables before being updated in the Data Target/Info-object.
The PSA is generally the preferred method because of its various advantages like Reconstruction, Data editing, etc..
Idocs are generally preferred when the data comes from flatfile. However Idoc transfer method have a limitation - transfer structure must not have more than 1000 Bytes in the character format.
IDOC is only there because of compatibility reasons. It supports a smaller structure and has no other advantages. You should always use PSA.
1> DAta sources with the IDOC transfer methode are not supported with ODS object.
2> you can only create start routine for transfer methode PSA.
