Small Doubt in ALE config

Hi,
Iam reffering this blog to do ALE settings
/people/swaroopa.vishwanath/blog/2007/01/22/ale-configuration-for-pushing-idocs-from-sap-to-xi
If i completly follow this Blog means , Is there is any need to do in WE20 & WE21 entries ????
Instead of doing through this blog can i do in this way....
1) Create LS in SALE
2) Create RFC Destination in SM59 with the above created LS name
3) Create WE21 Port
4) Create We20 Partner Profile
Is this way is ok rather than going in the Above mentioned Blog.
What is the difference between these Two Approches
Regards

Hi Vamasi,
After creating distribution model, you can generate partner profile automatically by just one single push button. It avoids our manual process of creating partener profile.
However you can create partner profile manually as well using WE20 / WE21. But in both cases you need distribution model if you want to send message to XI system.
"Generate the partner profiles by selecting the navigation path from the main menu, Environment --> Generate Partner profiles " --> Will make life easier by auto. generating profile for you base on distribution model parameter. ( Just one click n everything would be done).
Both are doing same thing.
Hope this will ans. your query.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Doubt regarding ALE SETTINGS in IDOC scenario.

Hi Friends,
        I have some doubts regarding ALE settings for IDOC scenarios, can anyone please clarify my doubts.
For exmaple take IDOC to FILE scenario
The knowledge i got from SDN is --
One need to do at the R3 side is --- RFC DESTINATION (SM59) for the XI system.
                                                   --- TRFC PORT for sending IDOC to the XI system
                                                   --- CREATING LOGICAL SYSTEM
                                                   --- CREATING PARTNER PROFILE
               at the XI side is --- RFC Destination ( For SAP sender system)
                                       --- CREATING PORT for receiving IDOC from the SAP sending system(IDX1).
1. Do we create two logical systems for both Sender ( R3 system ) and Receiver( XI system ) in R3 system itself or in XI system or in both systems we create these logical systems? Is this a mandatory step in doing ALE configurations?
In IDOC to IDOC scenario-------
2. Do we craete two RFC destinations in XI system? One RFC DESTINATION for the Sender R3 system and another RFC DESTINATION for the Receiver R3 System? and do we create RFC DESTINATION for the XI system in receiver R3 system? If not.....y we don't create like this........Please give me some clarity on this.............
3. If we use IDOC adapter ,since IDOC adapter resides on the ABAP STACK ,we don't need sender communication channel ,for the similar reason----
y we r creating receiver communication channel in the case of FILE to IDOC scenario?
4. Can any one please provide me the ALE settings for IDOC to FILE scenario,
                                                                                FILE to IDOC scenario,
IDOC to IDOC scenario individually.
Thanks in advance.

Ramana.

hi,
1. Yes, we create two logical systems for both Sender ( R3 system ) and Receiver( XI system ) in R3 system itself and
it is a mandatory step in doing ALE configurations
2. We create 1 RFC destination each in R3 and XI.
    R3 RFC destination points to Xi and
    XI RFC destination points to R3
3 We need to create Communication Channel for Idoc receiver as the receiver channel is always required but sender may not be necessary
4. ALE settings for all IDOC scenarios are same as follows....
Steps for ALE settings:-
Steps for XI
Step 1)
     Goto SM59.
     Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).
     Give a suitable name and description.
     Give the Ip address of the R3 system.
     Give the system number.
     Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).
     Go to the logon security tab.
     Give the lang, client, username and password.
     Test connection and remote logon.
Step 2)
     Goto IDX1.
     Create a new port.
     Give the port name.
     Give the client number for the R3 system.
     Select the created Rfc Destination.
Step 3)
     Goto IDX2
     Create a new Meta data.
     Give the Idoc type.
     Select the created port.
Steps for R3.
Step 1)
     Goto SM59.
     Create new RFC destination of type 3(Abap connection).
     Give a suitable name and description.
     Give the Ip address of the XI system.
     Give the system number.
     Give the gateway host name and gateway service (3300 + system number).
     Go to the logon security tab.
     Give the lang, client, username and password.
     Test connection and remote logon.
Step 2)
     Goto WE21.
     Create a port under transactional RFC.(R3->XI)
     Designate the RFC destination created in prev step.
Step 3)
     Goto SALE.
     Basic settings->Logical Systems->Define logical system.
     Create two logical systems(one for XI and the other for R3)
     Basic settings->Logical Systems->Assign logical system.
     Assign the R3 logical system to respective client.
Step 4)
     Goto WE20.
     Partner type LS.
     Create two partner profile(one for XI the other for R3).
     Give the outbound or inbound message type based on the direction.
Step 5)
     Goto WE19
     Give the basic type and execute.
     fill in the required fields.
     Goto IDOC->edit control records.
     Give the following values.(Receiver port,partner no.,part type and sender Partner no. and type)
     Click outbound processing.
Step 6)
     Go to SM58
     if there are any messages then there is some error in execution.
     Goto WE02.
     Check the status of the IDOC.
     Goto WE47.
     TO decode the status code.
Step 7)
     Not mandatory.
     Goto BD64.
     Click on Create model view.
     Add message type.
BD87 to check the status of IDOC.
In case if not authorized then go to the target system and check in SU53, see for the missing object
and assign it to the user.
SAP r3
sm59(status check)(no message)
WE02(status check)
WE05(status check)
BD87(status check)
Xi
IDx5(Idoc check)
SU53(authorization check)

CRM to PI outbound IDOC scenario : IDOC ALE config

Hi folks,
I have a scenario: CRM-> PI
CRM system posts an IDOC to PI,
I have done all the necessary ALE configs:
1. comm. id on PI
2. RFC Destination on CRM to PI
3. Port on CRM. we21
4.Logical SYsm on CRM
5. Partn Prof on CRM
now, when i try to push out an idoc out of CRM , it fails in CRMs TRFC queu(SM58)
with this error:
Transaction IDX1: Port SAPDX1, client 500, RFC destination contain error
I have no clue why it failed with this error.
1. No idea from where it picked up this port as well.
2. Port i created to PI was an autogenerated Port and not SAPDX1, don't knw how it picks this up.
Would appreciate any help with respect to this.
Thanks,
Hank

Also, for your reference just double check if the following steps are completed properly for outbound processing:
1.Define Logical Systems and Assign Client to Logical System u2013 Transaction SALE
2.Maintain RFC Destinations u2013 Transaction SM59
3.Define Ports u2013 Transaction WE21
4. Maintain Distribution Model u2013 Transaction BD64
5.Generate/Create Partner Profile u2013 Transactions BD82/WE20
6.Distribute Model View u2013 Transaction BD64
    -Select the Model View
     -Go to menu path Edit -> Model View -> Distribute
     -Result log will be displayed on the next screen
Hopefully it should work now.

Small doubts regarding devices and permissions

Hill all,
Continuing with my experiences with Oracle 11gR2 and Solaris 11, i came up with some "small" doubts regarding the permissions and owners of the devices to be used as ASM diskgroups. I was able to install Grid and the database, both 11.2.0.3.0, in a single-instance configuration, but i had a small issue when creatind the diskgroup for the database data (+DATA). I created 3 devices (VirtualBox) to be used in the +DATA dg, and gave the the "oracle:dba" owner, with the permission 660. My doubts are:
1) It wouldn't be more correct to make the owner of the device the user grid? (grid:dba)
2) The permission 660 to the devices is the correct, or recommended permission? It did work with this permission.
Thanks in advance.

It depends on the user and group that runs the ASM instance. It can be oracle/dba, but can also be a different user, e.g. grid/asmadmin
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CHDFAGJD
660 means rw. That should be ok. No other user/group than the ASM instance needs to access the devices.

ALE Config for Solman BPs

Is there any documentation out there to help me in setting up ALE between ECC and Solman to create BPs in Solman. I have basic documentation on ALE config in general but am looking for specific docs for Solman BP population.
Thank you,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Solution Manager was based on CRM so I will recomend you to start with Note 550055 - EBP/CRM: New integration for business partner
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index
This will give you the guideline, what I would suggest is to mantain as well the Org Structure in 1 system in this case ECC and then replicate maybe the Support Org Structure along with the BP's to Solution Manager.
Another SAP Note you cam use 615896 - HR-ALX: Distribution models - Templates, Most probably you have the templates in your system if you have current SP's, I do remember I saw some templates for CRM which will work fine for Solution Manager.
Hope this helps
Best regards,
Juan Jose Alvarado

Ale config part 2...question

Hi,
While doing the ale config as per blog...
/people/swaroopa.vishwanath/blog/2007/01/22/ale-configuration-for-pushing-idocs-from-sap-to-xi
I managed to distribute the model view..however when i go to BD10 and select the specified material SWAR1...out of matmas...i get an error telling me that no material could be found.............How can i test that i can send an idoc to the XI system....? is there a standard material that i can send to verify this...
Venkat

There are no standard material numbers avaiable in SAP. All u need to do it to create in the TC MM01 and u can refer to the table MARA and the material number field is MATNR.
Coming WRT to the blog when u want to test it either u press F4 to get the list of material avaiable or check in MARA.

Urgent...problem in manuall ale config

hi all,
when iam doing ale config for a a simple vendor master data transfer i got error.
the first 3 steps r ok. rfc destination and test connection and remote logon is ok.
in step 4 ..i assigned a message type(cremas) to the modelview.when i expand modelview i shows sender lg sys,rec log sys and cremas,no fillers in cremas.
1)but when distribute modelview it shows no message type is assigned to modelview.
2)in partner profiles i generate ports . here also i got error. partnet profile is not generated to the xxxx log sys and cancelled in both xxxx and yyyy log sys..
reply please.
vijay

Hi,
Try creating the ports and partner profiles manually through transactions WE21 and WE20 respectively and then the distribution model (txn BD64). Now try distributing the model view and proceed with the Idoc generation.

Urgent--- small doubt

Hi
I need some docs for 8i installation on win2K. Also I've a small doubt.... I want to move one database (8.1.7.4) to a new server. On this new server I have to install Oracle 8.1.0...... Now the doubt is if I do backup/restore from the old server, do I still have to apply patch 4 on the new server???
Any input is appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
I suggest you apply the patch becuase the database backup has the version info which is 8.1.4. Thus when you will use the 8.1.0 Oracle kernel to start a 8.1.4 database then it might give an error. It is best suited to apply the patches in the new server the way it is in the old one. Once you have applied the patches in Oracle kernel (Oracle Software) you may go ahead with opening the database.
This will keep the versions of the Oracle kernel and the version info in the database control file in sync.
Regards.

Doubt in ALE

hi all
In ALE configuration, how may logical systems we have to create?
As per my knowledge 2 logical systems will be created.is it not?
But we r sending the data ,so one logical system(destination) is enough, to send the data to destination. ...
please clear my doubt , with example

ALE config & Idocs

Hi All,
I have a requirement to Transport Idocs from XI server to ECC-R3 server(Both are Different Servers).
I need help in creation of Logical Systems, Ports and Partner Profile Creations.
Before that i have few doubts,
1. What is the Significance of "Assigning Logical Systems to Client?"
2. What is the Significance of the "Customer Distribution Models?"
Now my questions?
1. How many Logical Systems must i have in ECC-R/3? Do we need to create any LS in XI server?
   similarly how many Ports and Partner profiles i need to create in both ECC and XI servers.
   Actully Inbound Process runs in ECC by using a Process Code(It drives our custom FM).
Thanks in Advance,
Sekhar.J

Hi,
Lets Take everything One by One:
1. What is the Significance of "Assigning Logical Systems to Client?"
*Answer: Logical System is nothing but a Name assigned to a Client for Data Transfer, which will be used as the name of Sender or Reciever System.*
2. What is the Significance of the "Customer Distribution Models?"
Answer: CDM is generally required when you have Multiple Recievers for your IDOC, and you want to have ALE/IDOC settings for all Recievers in a central place. You achieve the concept of segment Filtering & IDOC reduction via CDM.
I need help in creation of Logical Systems, Ports and Partner Profile Creations.
*Creation of Logical Systems:It can be defined by TX code BD54. Just enter the name and description of LS.
Creation of Ports: Go to transaction WE21 to create a port which will be used for transferring the data.
Creation of Partner Profile: use Txn WE20.*
Now my questions?
1. How many Logical Systems must i have in ECC-R/3?
    Only One
Do we need to create any LS in XI server? No
similarly how many Ports and Partner profiles i need to create in both ECC and XI servers.
Only One Port & Partner Profile in XI server.
Thanks,
Ajay

Small photo studio needs config help

We are a small photo studio and we are about to purchase an xSERVE with 4 500GB drives and add drives to the system as time goes on. I need some advice on the best way to set it up and config it.
We will be using the xSERVE RAID attached via fibre to a new G5 Tower which will be connected to a gigbit switch. The switch has 3 computers connected @ gigabit. The xSERVE RAID will store all photography jobs currently in post-production and after post is complete the jobs will move off this system and be archived using another system to save space on the RAID.
3 users (computers) will need to access the RAID to edit the RAW files (15MB/each) jobs and work on photoshop files for retouching. We generate a lot of information and can produce as much as 50 GB / day of shooting. For these jobs we can shoot as many as 7 days in a row, so that would be 350 GB just for the RAW files. We then might retouch 150 files from that job or more depending on the client.
So my main questions would be how to best set up the RAID and different components? I think RAID 5 would be a good solution. But what other setup/config options should I be considering?
I know this is not an easy answer and there are multiple options. But if you could be as kind to give some different options/scenarios, I would greatly appreciate it.
I think its neat that the mac community supports these forums and they have been extremely helpful.
Thank you mac people.
Mac OS X (10.4.7) all computers are running OSX 10.4.7

I like RAID5 for it's ability to tolerate losing a drive without losing data. One thing that you have to account for is that the price for that you pay for surviving a drive failure is 25% of your disk space. In other words, once you take these four drives and make them into a RAID5, you can expect to have ~1.5TB available. So you may want to add a 5th drive. Personally, as cheap as drives are, I'd put the full 7 in.
You really don't have enough client machines to bother with a lot of the esoteric stuff. A simple RAID5 gives you durability and enough speed that the network will be the speed bottleneck.
As you get into these larger filesystems, backups and disaster recovery become much more challenging because of the time it takes to handle massive amounts of data.

Small Doubt Regarding SY-MANDT

Hi All,
     SELECT changenr FROM cdhdr CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_cdhdr
                                         WHERE mandant = syst-mandt
                                         AND   objectclas = 'MATERIAL'
                                         AND   objectid   = wa_matl-matnr
                                         AND   tcode      = 'MM02'.
     I have written the select stament as shown above.
     In this i have a doubt like adding a field sy-mandt in the where condition will increase the Efficiency of program or not.
regards,
raghu.

Hi..
No doubt the efficency would be affected but from business point of view there will many things that need to be checked as in:
If you are viewing data from CDHDR and CDPOS which is client specific then you are not viewing complete data.
These tables give us and document changes made to a particular object in SAP but if anything is cross client like company code(lets assume) then changes to it wont be visible in all the clients..
so there can be some key information you can miss out while working on some of the objects.
else in this case its good to make query cross client.

vishal
