SEEBURGER's VAN Adapter

Hi all,
Im wrking on an IDOC to EDIFACT format scenario. The reciever adapter is a SEEBURGER's VAN adapter.Can anyone pls help me with some documents on this?
Thanks in Advance.

HI,
The SEEBURGER FTP/VAN Adapter is responsible for transmitting files according to the File Transfer Protocol, with the particular support of various VANs. This protocol was installed as a user gateway protocol by several of the largest VAN providers, such as IBM, GE and Sterling IIB and Sterling Commerce.
The FTP/VAN adapter must be configured in the configuration part of the Integration Builder. The adapter is based on the Adapter Framework and is executed by the SAP J2EE Adapter Engine as shown in the diagram below.
The FTP/VAN Adapter supports the following protocols:
IBMIE VAN, all report options.
GEIS (GeMarkIII) and GeMark3000, all report options, report file is only extracted, if needed.
EXITE (ECODEX), EDIFACT file processing, DISPATCHED reports.
Sterling Commerce and Sterling IIB.
MCI EDI*Net.
The following FTP options are supported:
SSL, both IMPLICIT and AUTH_TLS support, server authentication.
All popular FTP proxy types like: USERWL, USERWOL, SITEWL, OPENWOL.
Active and Passive connection modes.
"KeepAlive" feature.
Binary, ASCII and custom transfer types.
Refer the below thresd which taks about the AS2 adapter configuration inroder to convert the EDI to XML message the similar configuration needs to be done in case of VAN/FTP adapter.
Re: Pls.. Help Needed.. Seeburger Mapping Names..!!
Seeburger adapters like FTP,OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.
Supported EDI formats include:
ANSI
EDIFACT
INHOUSE
IDOC
XML Schema
XML DTD
CSV
Delimited Data
positional data
SWIFT
EANCOM
and many more.
See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.
Seeburger provides the std mapping program which has to be deploy on to XI and we need to give it to module tab in adapter which does the conversion.
Here are the some of the std mapping program which is provided by seeburger.
See_E2X_INVOIC_UN_D96A
See_E2X_INVOIC_UN_D99A
See_E2X_ORDERS_UN_D96A
See_E2X_OSTRPT_EAN_D96A.
We need to take the license from seeburger and we need to deploye the seeburger adapters then only we can see in adapter list on XI.
Thanks and Regards,

Seeburger File/VAN adapter

Hello,
Is it possible to use a File/VAN adapter from Seeburger for simple ftp scenario, without connection to a VAN? How do I configure the adapter parameters?
Many thanks!
regards,
Erik

Hi,
I am not sure, whether you can get it to work with a normal FTP-Server, but it is intended to be used for VAN-Access.
For normal FTP-access, Seeburger has an own adapter called
"FTP/Host File Access Adapter" with the following attributes:
The FTP/Host Adapter supports the following protocols:
· Plain FTP as of RFC950
· EBMX/ANX VAN
· EDISwitch, FordSolmis VAN
· Amazon, HPUX, MVS server types
The following FTP options are supported:
· SSL, both IMPLICIT and AUTH_TLS support, server authentication
· All popular FTP proxy types like: USERWL, USERWOL, SITEWL, OPENWOL
· Active and Passive connection modes
· "KeepAlive" feature
· APPEND,OVERWRITE and UNIQUE upload modes
· BINARY, ASCII and custom transfer types
· Upload file name case change u2013 ORIGINAL,TO_UPPER,TO_LOWER

SeeBurger Receiver VAN/FTP Adapter: where to mention the target path

Hi,
I am using SeeBurger VAN/FTP adapter for IDOC-XI-EDI scenario.
In seeburger receiver VAN/FTP adapter, where I have to set the target path. My target path is very long (15 characters).
I am able to configure Host, Port, User id and password.
Please suggest where to put the path name in seeburger receiver VAN/FTP adapter.
Thanks,
Madan Agrawal

HI Madan,
Can you please tell me which VAN provider you are meant to use? It is the same question which Prateek asked above 'which protocol' without this it is hard to help dude.
I just checked and half of them don't want you to use this field 'host path;
Also the error is different ...
1) Are you doing FTP or FTPS?
2) which VAN/Protocol

Problems with Seeburger FTP Receiver adapter

Hello,
I am working on a scenario sending ORDERS05 Idocs to EDI vendors.
For this i have configured Seeburger Receiver FTP adapter with 2 modules to convert XML-EDI format. Since this is the test, I have pointed Seeburger to local FTP server with following settings
Hostname <Hostname of our FTP server>
Port <Port # of our FTP server>
Host Path/VAN partner id <some local directory of FTP server>
Payload mode: Maindocument.
At runtime i received following exception
Message could not be forwarded to the JCA adapter. Reason: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: >> Description: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 500 'SITE system 1': command not understood>> Details: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionRethrowError: Error in session: {type:FTPConnectionId}{binding:82ea8d3089dc3e898ae2e608d9d8487d}{channel:a52d1aaa8dd63ff59c2f590e78586a77}{toparty:TestEDIParty} CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionOpenConnectionError: Error while connection to remote host CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionRethrowError: Error while executing command QUOTE site system 1 CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 500 'SITE system 1': command not understood>>SendingStatus: NOT_TRANSMITTED>>FaultCategory: COMMUNICATION_ERROR>>Retryable: true>>Fatal: true
Few questions related to this
1] can we use Seeburger adapter to generate EDI files on local FTP server
2] If not Seeburger can we use normal File adapter to do the same. I tried the same by configuring BIC module in File adapter so that it would convert XML to EDI format and was hoping file to be generated on FTP server. It generated one line XML file with following text "<info>Converted message locates in a attachment</info>". Any idea how to retreive attachments in File receiver adapter (as far as i know no attachments are supported in File receiver adapter).
Any idea how to generate EDI files with Seeburger FTP on test server?
Thanks in advance.

Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
> 1] can we use Seeburger adapter to generate EDI files on local FTP server
Yes we can use.
> Any idea how to generate EDI files with Seeburger FTP on test server?
It is like a normal process, how to generate the EDI files in normal means without FTP. Check this link

How to configure FTP/VAN Adapter for SFTP connection?

Hi,
I am new to the use of Seeburger's FTP/VAN adapter. I read SDN threads where the FTP/VAN adapter can be used for SFTP connections. Could anyone assist me in the steps to configure the communication channels for SFTP connections?
Scenarios:
1. R/3 -> XI -> File (SFTP server)
2. File (SFTP server) -> XI -> IDoc
There is no VAN connection involved. I am just trying to utilize the adapters my PI system currently have for my interface requirement.
Is the configuration as simple as configuring the communication channel or there are scripts involved? If there are scripting involved, is there a benefit to use scripting in the FTP/VAN adapter, rather than XI's own File adapter?
Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
Standard PI Adapter will not support to conenct SFTP server, we have to use third party adapters?? do you have any third party adapters??
many compniaes providing SFTP adapters and SAP PI Supports to.
if you dont have third party adapter we do have other alternative , refer below blog

Seeburger X.400 adapter

Hi Experts,
I want material/links on seeburger X.400 adapter, I searched on SDN, but could not find any material for X.400 channel configuration.
In our landscape, client is thinking to install the X.400 adapter & so, I want to understand its configuration
Also, please let me know what is the Transport protocol supported by X.400 adapter?
-Supriya.

Hi Supriya,
Seeburger X.400 is actually a mailbox solution.actually X.400 /p7 is a protocol which the adapters uses for communication.
Any business partner sends or receives data through a mailbox and that has to be connected to PI thru X400 adapter. when trying to create a channel of type X400, the details of the VAN mailbox to poll or post the data need to be given.
x.400 is one of the communication mechanism/protocol used by SEEBURGER BIS.

Rohit

Hi,
1) First of all create the Seeburger Certificates.
2) You have to deploy those certiates in your Visual Administrator.
After that in Interration Builder -
> Receiver Agreement -
> In Security Settings -
>
                   AS2 Sender Configuration -
> Signing Key -
>give the certificate name over there.
                   AS2 Sender Configuration -
> Encription Certificate & Authenitication Certificate is there
                   u have to give u r certificate names over there.

Are you using the "Use Authentication" option in the communication channel? If yes, then ensure that the user provided is correct and is not locked. Also recheck the authentication certificate settings.

Configuring a Seeburger FTP Receiver Adapter

Hello,
I am trying to build a scenario where SAP ECC 6 sends an invoice to a customer via EDI.
We are using ECC 6.0 and PI 7.0 and the Generic Seeburger EDI Adapters. The VAN is a GEIS EDISWITCH VAN (Eircom in Ireland).
I am able to successfully send an IDoc from ECC 6 and into PI where a Seeburger map converts the message to EDI-XML format. I can use a file adapter to create a file in normal EDI format. But I can't get the Seeburger FTP adapter to work with the VAN.
I have configured the correct IP, port, username and password but I keep getting the following message when the communication channel tries to send the message:
<h6>Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.sap.aii.af.ra.cci.XIRecoverableException: >> Description: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 501-Syntax errors in parameter. usage: %[recipient id]%[APRF] where either [recipient] or [APRF] can be omitted. (to change your current default SEND relationship). %% (places you in your 'HOME' TR). &['s'|'single'] ('get' command gets single file). &['m'|'multiple'] ('get' command gets multiple files). >> </h6>
The FTP session is expecting a PUT command with the recipient id and APRF as parameters but these are not getting passed. I suspect this is because I am not passing the correct variables to the receiver adapter but I don't know what variables it expects and where they should be specified. And I can't find the answers in the documentation.
Can anyone shed some light on what I need to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Prateek,
Thanks for your comments. The channel is set to GEIS(GeMarkIII). There is nowhere to specify a directory or filename. The settings I have used are as follows:
Adapter Type: FTP (http://seeburger.com/xi)
Receiver
Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: GEIS/GeMarkIII
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
Host name: <IP address of VAN server>
port: 21
User Id: <Our mailbox number>
Password: <Correct password>
Host path/VAN Partner ID: <blank>
Script file: <blank>
Transfer type: ASCII
Connection mode: Passive
Use keep alive: <Not checked>
Security Mode: None
Proxy Mode: none
Resource ID: <blank>
Deliver transmission report: <not checked>
Payload mode: Attachment
Attachment ID: SeeburgerMain
Channel status: Active
Use dynamic attributes: <Checked>
Use non-empty attributes: <Checked>
Request displayed report: <Not checked>
Request dispatched report: <Not checked>
Report timeout (minutes): 720
Handle received reports: Refer reports to XI system
There is nowhere in the communication channel configuration that allows me to specify the receiver ID or the APRF. The documentation say this is read from the EDI data and the relevant fields are populated.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

Problem in SEEBURGE BIC mapping adapter

Hi experts
I am using SEEBURGER MAPPING adapter for file to idoc scenario .I have to convert an input flat file into xml using BIC mapping adapter.The problem is that when i am giving input file to convert into xml ,the conversion is failing with a error that a special character(?) occurs in the begining of file.when we r opening the file then we r not able to see any special character.The file is in UTF16 Little endian encoding. we r unable to find that how the spechial character is coming in the input files and how to debugg it.Plz guide me how to proceed.Is there any function in SEEBURGER to remove special character from the source file?
Regards
Neha

Hi Neha,
Seeburger is providing Modules (Configurable in CC module chain) described in SAPXI_SeeXIModules_en.pdf with additional functionality like Replace String,Start Local Up, Charset Conversion, zip and dynamic Configuration.
So if you have those modules installed you can use Replace String functionality to replace this string.

Seeburger SFTP Sender Adapter Failure

Hello,
a SFTP sender channel causes the follow error when executing a poll cycle:
SFTP Adapter failure Details: while trying to invoke the method com.seeburger.uri.dt.sftp.schema.DtSFTPPollingResponse.setSuccessMessage(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable 'e'
The server was pinged successfully so there should be no firewall issue. We are also able to logon to the server using a third-party SFTP client.
The error description is not very meaningful for tracking down the root cause.
Do you have any idea what could have caused this error?
Thank you.
Edited by: Guppenberger Florian on Jan 24, 2011 4:00 PM

For the Roll back error plz chk the below points.
1. Check the module parameters.
2. Make sure the sender agreement doesnt have any * 's.
Ex: The SA should not be like : | BS | SI_test_oa | * | *
SA should be like BS | SI_test_oa | |
3. If the input file has special chanracters , use the encoding .
If the above doesnt work, try to create a new communication channel and test it.
We also faced this error toomany times in the sender CC for sFTP advatco adapter.
Thanks,
Soumya.

How to test SEEBURGER EbXML Sender adapter

Dear All,
We are starting to implement ebMS adapter from SEEBURGER(as it is known adapter type as EbXM_HTTP). We will be using this as Sender adapter.
I am now analyzing the options to perform some basic tests(like unit testing with out the message being sent by real interface partner) with this adapter. I mean, I am thinking something like SOAPUI client tool which is one of the excellent tool for testing webserives, is there any EbXML client tool available or perhaps can we use SOAP UI tool to test the ebXML. If this is possible with SOAPUI, where to configure CPA details of the message and what will be end point?
Thanks in advance and any help would be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Prasad.

Dear Both,
Thanks for your comments.
As for the PI/XI sending option, we basically should send test messages to ourselves as I understand it correctly.
In my investigation in found a client software called: M E C AS/2 under
http://www.mec-as2.org/
Does anybody have experience with this one?
Best Regards, Mathias.
