Send binary files from SAP System to SAP XI/PI

Dear experts,
in our SAP ERP-System we have a link to JPG files which are stored in an archive. We want to send these files with some other information to our SAP XI and then store them on a file server. Is there a way to send a MIME attachment via RFC? Or is there another way to send binary files from SAP ERP to SAP XI? We want to avoid polling the files on OS level.
Thanks and regards,
David

Most recommended way is to go for ABAP proxies. They support attachments.

Printing or exporting files from remote system running SAP

Hi to everyone,
I am trying to print or save exported data from SAP (in Excel)to a remote system where I am working. SAP is running in a remote server to which I am connected. So far I have only been able to print and save in the remote system (where SAP is running ), but can't do it to my printer/PC. It is probably a simple problem but I can't see an answer.
Thank very much to anyone who can give me a clue.
Antonio

check if printer LP02 or similar is defined on your SAP system. It prints via SAPLPD to your local printer.
To save anything to your local PC - you can use "save to local file" from the report, or WS_DOWNLOAD FM from ABAP.

Yes You Can
XI Converts Unstructured data(That is non -XML)Type- in your case word doc and maps it to Target structure.
You can either use content conversion

Can we send .csv file from sap srm system to sap pi?

Hi Experts,
we have 3 options send the data from sap systems to sap pi.i. e.proxy,idoc and rfc only
How can we send .csv file from sap srm to sap pi?
Regards,
Anjan

Anjan
As you know SAP SRM and SAP PI are different boxes.
*_Option 1:_*
we need a shared AL11 directory in between SAP SRM and SAP PI (Ask basis to setup shared folder). Place / Populate the file in the folder from SAP SRM and then it can be picked through sender file communication channel.
In this case you (Basis team) will share one folder which is visible from the AL11 transaction of both the systems (SRM and PI). You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location and from PI you can read that file using File communication channel (NFS mode).
Option 2:
Setup a FTP at SRM environment and expose some folder which can be accessible from PI. Use sender file communication channel at PI end to pick the file.
You can use this option incase sharing of folder is not possible (due to network / other constrains). Here FTP server is required to expose any folder as FTP so as it can be accessible from internet (remote location). You need to expose some folder at SRM machine. You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location. Now PI can fetch the file from that location using sender file communication channel (FTP Mode) providing user credentials.
Hope it clears now.

Data migration from legacy system to SAP

hi all,
could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
regards
sridharan

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

Upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also

Hi Gurus,
How to upload Opening balance of G/L accounts from legacy system to SAP, and also Vendor and Customer balance.
My Doubt is when you upload the customer balance and vendor balance will it effect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account if not the how will the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account will be posted with the balance. Please send me the general entry passed for posting the same.
What I understood is that when we are uploading the customer and vendor balances through LSMW, no entry will be passed and it will update the customer and vendor sub ledger in FBL1N and FBL5N but it will not affect the sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account.
To give effect to sundry debtor account and sundry creditor account we need to manually pass a journal entry as follows.
1) Sundry debtors account A/c -
DR
      TO clearing account A/c
2)     clearing account A/c -
dr
     Sundry creditor account A/c
Please let me know whether iam correct
Also please tell me what will be the scenario for uploading of the assets balances through LSMW.
THANKS AND REGARDS
MV

Hi,
     When you uploading any data from legacy system to sap normally we will be using LSMW or BDC,thru this we will be uploading master data like G/L,vendor,Customer and asset master these are the some examples and we will upload transaction data also that is P&L Account and Balance sheet.When we do uploading data thru LSMW system will update all the values of vendor,customer and asset values as well as subsidary ledger also.No need to do manully.

Archiving a file from a PC to SAP without the GUI

Hi,
I am looking for a way to send a file from a local pc to SAP Content Server 6.40 (archive link or Kpro).
We already tried to use a bapi (BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF) that is linked to GOS but it failed. This bapi is cheking if the GUI is open. Since all the process should be done in the background, it fails.
We are actually using VBA in excell to call RFC/Bapi to try to do this.
Anybody has an idea on how to do this ???
many thanks in advance,

Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.
If any body has come across same issue please provide me with solution.
Thanks in advance.

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button
