Sender agreement & communication channel not needed in case of IDOC adapter

Hello everyone ,
   I am new to xi , as far as i know a communication channel cannot be created in ID when using IDOC adapter , the answer for this question is like , the idoc adapter resides on the integration server & not part of j2ee AF .
Can some one explain me in the terms of a laymen , its not clear to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Reena.

Hi ! Reena
IDOC adapter resides on Integration server, so Integration engine takes care of the conversion format from IDOC to XML, hence there is no need for sender Adapter .Also since its residing on Integration server you can directly post the message in the Integration engine.
well lemme explain a little bit,the main reason for sender agreement is to associate namespace with the sender adapter,now when we shoot IDOC from R/3 it already contains its standard SAP namespace so no need of sender agreement.
now comes the sender CC,main use of sender CC is to identify the sending system and the adapter.the IDOC header contains details of all the this,so again there is no need for sender CC
loook at this thread discuss the same

  • Why is a sender communication channel not required for IDOC and PROXY ?

    Hello,
    In case of IDOCs, metadata will be available in PI for the IDOCs used both at inbound and outbound.
    Why is a sender communication channel is not required in case of IDOC and PROXY outbound scenarios (i.e. IDOC to File or PROXY to file ..)  when a receiver channel is required for scenarios like file to IDOC or file to PROXY.
    Though this might be a regular question, I am not able to find a proper reason.
    Please let me know the reason for the above request.
    Thanks & Regards.

    You will create RFC destination in ECC , it will have details about PI system details, when ever you send IDoc, ECC will use Port and RFC destination to connect PI Integratiion engine to deliver data to PI.
    But when receiver side you will create RFC destination in PI with ECC details, but to call RFC destination and Port we need medium that was the reason we create IDoc communication channel.
    Even the same case for Proxy also, but HTTP deastination establish the conection between ECC and PI, but receiver side you have to create XI channel with PI integratioin engine adress to post data.

  • If message failed at communication channel, then need to send idoc to R/3

    Hi folks,
    i got a requirment like .....If message failed at communication channel, then need to send idoc to R/3.
    can anybody suggest the possible solution.

    HI
    If you use a catching a MAIL - PI ALERT and based on that alert if u creating an IDOC then it is good if u really supress the alert immediately once the ALERT comes but if u really check and supress the ALERT fine Otherwise a CONTINOUS IDOCs will get created at SAP system.
    Also there might be some natural generic reasons for communication channel fails
    a)  somtimes if the target FTP is down
    b)  if there is some issue with FILE ENOUGH
    c)  If File adpater is placing same file already exists or with already Opened by some target application
    d)  Dynamica file naming issue. (technical issue)
    WHy cant u do scenario in the below steps without keeping BPM, CATCHING ALERTS which doesnt give exact QUARANTEE
    Do one thing make a technical design in such a way into 1 flow or 2 flows in worst case
    In INTERFACE MAPPING-->
    a) Insert your current Normal Graphical mapping
    b) Javamapping:- This code will take the first mapping output as Input through Stream Transformation and create a same FILE through JAVA FTP Comments at specified Cleint Location. I recommend in order to avoid direct interraction of writing a file at client FTP better always write at your Local PI NFS Application outbound directory which doesnt require host name and user and pwd. Even if it requires you can do a RFC lookup and maintain a host, Port, User ID, pwd, Directory, FIle naming pattern in that table or else simply DO VALUE MAPPIING and pass it through XML INPUT from FIrst mapping as additional fields
    c) WITH IN THE SAME JAVAMAPPING: -
       If it successfully writes a file - wRite a TRACE log ("FILE NAME+ Sucecssfully written+ File Bytes")
       Then create an simple small XML OUTPUT and PASS that JAVA MAPPING OUTPUT To 3rd Grahical Mapping as Input it might be less than 5KB.
    Note: - Remember that this output XML should be ina Multmapping SPLIT MERGET FORMAT with 1 FIELD or required INFO
    as KEY FIELD INFO using DOM FACTORY
    d) GRAPHICAL MAPPING: -
      SOURCE IS JAVAMAPPING OUTPUT and TARGET HAS 2 messages
                           Message 1) SAME INPUT SMALL XML OUTPUT COMING FROM JAVA MAPPING OUTPUT
                           Message 2) IDOC TY{E STRUCTURE
    Keep a Condition based on KEY VALUE Coming from source field execute either 1 Message1 or Message 2
    In this way you can complete in a single Flow. 
    Later you can deifnee a simple flow to PICK and DROP from SOURCE file  Writing through javamapping to client location Or else
    WRITE A small OS SCRIPT and CALL in Receiver FILE COMMUNICATION at OS Command so that while writing a LOG file it will move the file from Source FTP to CLient FTP location.

  • XI: Sender JDBC Communication Channel is not getting picked the records

    Hi All,
    Here I 'm facing an Issue with my sender JDBC communication Channel. Previously it was working fine but It is not Picking the records from the JDBC table.
    Communication Channel is in active mode only.
    I have checked in RWB communication Channel monitoring there i didn't get any error or success messages but channel is showing healthy status only(Green)
      But i had created the new communication channel..with the same parameters which are in the older communication channel.. and sender agreement level also i had changed.. so now  new channel is working fine.... I didn't understand what is the problem with previous communication channel.
    Thanks

    Hi yadav,
    do you have TWO CCs polling at the same time via JDBC?
    This could be the problem --> a conflict between both CCs.
    Switch off ONE CC:

  • Mail Sender Communication channel not polling

    Dear all,
    In our PI 7.1 Sever, we have observed a issue.
    Sender mail communication channel status is green in RWB-->Channel monitoring but the channel does not pick up any mails form the mailbox.
    After we stop and then start the channel, it is picking up the mails.
    Any pointers on the root casue for this issue and any resolution steps or any SAP Notes to implement will be of great help.
    Regards,
    Younus

    Hi,
    Is it like everytime you have to restart the mail channel again and again?
    Sometimes it happens, a quick restart will refresh the adapter cache and the messages are processed.
    So, its not a problem.

  • Error in Sender JDBC communication channel

    Dear All,
    We have an interface in which we are fetching data from SQL database through sender JDBC communication channel.
    Last week SQL server was upgraded from 2000 to 2008 and the communication channel has stopped working and is giving the following error:
    Database-level error reported by JDBC driver while executing statement 'SELECT * FROM mstemp_tbl WHERE Active='0''. The JDBC driver returned the following error message: 'java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 1 (""): Data type 0x38 is unknown.'. For details, contact your database server vendor.
    Please let me know if any JDBC drivers are to be installed for SQL 2008 or how can we resolve this.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You may need to update your JDBC driver to 1.2 or 2.0. Kindly see supportability matrix on this link (question #2):

  • Error at sender JDBC communication channel

    Dear All,
    While executing JDBC(MS-Access)-PI-RFC interface, we are getting error in sender JDBC communication channel. The error is as following:
    Error during database connection to the database URL 'jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=

    I have checked various posts on forums and as per those no drivers installation is required to access MS-Access database and I am not able to find any post which could solve my problem.
    Kindly guide me on what might be the problem and how this can be resolved.
    Regards,

    Hi Nishu,
      That error ALWAYS means your DSN name is incorrect or can't be accessed for some reason (permission). The ODBC part says that the bridge is working.
      But that DSN is 100% wrong or cannot be seen by the user account that the server is running as. Make sure you have a system DSN and not a user one.
    You can refer these....

  • How to set errorDelay parameter in sender JMS Communication Channel?

    Dear XI/PI Experts,
    Do you happen to have a documentation on how to implement the errorDelay parameter and other general parameters in the sender Sender JMS communication Channel? Do you happen to have a step by step guide or pdf that I can use?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Grace

    Hi Thanks for your replies.
    What I need to do is to implement this bullet point:
    ¡        errorDelay
    The default value for this parameter is 0.
    This parameter determines how long the system waits before processing further messages if an error occurs. In transactional processing, it can make sense to specify a certain time period, for example, because messages with errors remain in the queue following a ROLLBACK.
    In which part of the Sender JMS Comm Channel will I implement this?
    Should I put this under tab /Parameters/Processing/Error Handling Settings or should this be under /Parameters/Advanced/Additional Paremeters?

  • Sender File Communication Channel Configuration

    Hi guys,
    We are trying to develop a file-to-Idoc scenario and we are facing some problems in the configuration of the sender file communication channel as far as the file format is concerned. The file, which is a material master file has the following structure:
    00.00 FileHeader
    30.00 Material n° 1
    30.01 Material n° 1
    30.00 Material n° 2
    30.01 Material n° 2
    30.00 Material n° n
    30.01 Material n° n
    99.00 FileFooter
    Initially, I developed 4 datatypes, FileHeader, Record1, Record2 and FileFooter, and 1 datatype to incorporate all of these, but I faced trouble in 'Recordset Structure' attribute in communication channel, where "FileHeader,1,Record1,,Record2,,FileFooter,1" did not work.
    After that I thought of creating one more datatype, called Record, with 0..* cardinality, that incorporates Record1 and Record2 with 1 cardinality.
    Although I have declared them correctly as "FileHeader,1,Record,*,FileFooter,1" in 'Recordset Structure', I face trouble in the table with the attributes. What shall I use: I have Record1.fieldNames and Record2.fieldNames and fieldFixedLengths, but XI requires Record...
    What you suggest?
    Evaggelos

    Hi,
    I understand your problem....
    I actually didn't look at the key fields...properly..
    You have said that when you had tried taking Record1 and Record2 in your structure you had problems...
    I  think the second way which you are trying would not work..!
    Can you try this..I am not sure if it will work..
    Have your structure as
    MT
    +Record
    ++Header
    ++Record1
    ++Record2
    ++Trailer
    So your Recordset name would be :Record
    RecordsetStructure would be Header,1,Record1,,Record2,,Trailer,1
    and then all the other parameters like fieldNames,fixedFieldLength,keyFieldValue...for Header,Record1,Record2,Trailer
    U might just try out with this

  • Sender FTP communication channel

    Hi experts,
    We have had the following problem twice with two different comm channels:
    A sender FTP communication channel stops polling for no apparent reason. There were no errors and the status remained green. After I stopped and started the communication channel in the runtime workbench the adapter picked up all the remaining files and processing finished ok.
    Anyone had this problem before? Any ideas for a solution?
    Thx,

  • PI sender communication channel not reading files from NFS directory

    Hello,
    I have a sender communication channel configured to read file from NFS directory which is on ECC server. A program in ECC generates the file and puts it on the ECC server in the output directory. PI sender communication channel is supposed to pickup this file and process it. If I give the NFS path as the source directory, I am getting error: Configured source directory '//Server/DIR/OUT' does not exist. I tried putting '
    Server\DIR\OUT' too but same error. Do I have to add the NFS path of ECC into PI as logical path?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Sangita

    Hello Sangita,
    Your ECC server is an external system, therefore you need to activate FTP service in that system and use the transport protocol FTP:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
    You can use NFS protocol when you have a local directory in XI server.

  • Error in communication channel " not initialized"

    Hi All,
           I'm working in FIle to mail scenario. In this scenario whenever i upload a text file to the R/3 application server. that file should be sent (as a attachment with a mail) to any email id. I did all the required configuration in IR. but i'm verymuch confused in ID configuration. I have created both sender and receiver communication channel in the same business system which refers a sender (R/3) System.sender communication channel is working fine. but when i activate the receiver communication channel it shows an error "not initialized".
    So kindly let me know,
    1. Should i use business system for my receiver end?,If so how do i create it?
    2. is receiver agreement, receiver determination, interface mapping necessary? If so, how do i configure it? because i'm not using any recever service since i'm sending mail to my mail box.
    note:
    It would be very helpful if u refer any link to find out the recever determination and interface determination configuration for this type of scenario.
    Thanks & Regards,
    hari.
