Upgradation procedure for ALE/IDOCS

Can anyone  let me know what is the upgradation procedure for ALE/IDOCS and what are the steps needs to be checked  out during technical remediation part of version upgrade(lower version to ECC6.0)?

IDocs are backwards compatible, so I don't think you need any special procedures for them, just a regular test, to make sure everything stull works fine. If you've had extended any standard IDocs, that part will need to be reviewed, as any other custom development.
However, there might be a newer version of the IDoc type available in ECC 6.0, which you didn't have in the previous release. You might want to see if there would be any benefits in switching to the newer version.
I'm sure you'll find all the information on the Upgrade page on SAP's [web site|http://service.sap.com/upgrade]. Also there is an SAP Press book on the subject.

  • Step-by step procedure for INBOUND IDOC (VENDOR CREATE / CHANGE)

    Hi ,
    Can any body provide me the step-by-step procedure for Inbound IDOCS.
    As i'm new to this i need the the clarification between Inbound & outbound idocs.
    How can we differentiate both?
    where to define outbound & where to define Inbound?
    ( If possible Please explain me the procedure for  Vendor Create through INBOUND IDOCS )
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    Ale Technology is SAPu2019s technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
    Outbound Process:
    ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
    1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
    2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
    3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
    4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
    Inbound Process:
    The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
    1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
    2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
    3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
    Over view of IDocs:
    IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
    IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocu2019s definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
    IDoc Types:
    IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
    An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
    i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
    ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
    iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
    Message in IDoc Type:
    A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
    Outbound Process in IDocs:
    Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
    The Customer Model:
    A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
    Message control:
    Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
    Change Pointers:
    The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
    Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
    IDoc Structure:
    A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
    Selection Program:
    Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programu2019s design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
    Filter Objects;
    Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
    Port Definition:
    A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
    RFC Destination:
    The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
    Partner Profile:
    A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocu2019s packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
    Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
    The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
    Process flow for Distributing Transactional Data:
    Transactional data is distributed using two techniques: with Message control and without message control.
    Process flow for Distributing Master Data:
    Master data between SAP systems is distributed using two techniques: Stand alone Programs and Change Pointers.
    Triggering the Outbound Process via Stand-Alone Programs:
    Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another. Standard Programs for several master data objects exist in SAP. Ex. The material master data can be transferred using the RBDSEMAT program or transaction BD10.
    The stand-alone programs provide a selection screen to specify the objects to be transferred and the receiving system. After the stand-alone program is executed, it calls the IDoc selection program with the specified parameters.
    Triggering the Outbound Process via Change Pointers:
    The change pointer technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically when master data is created or changed.
    A standard program, RBDMIDOC, is scheduled to run on a periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and start the ALE process for distributing the master data to the appropriate destination. The RBDMIDOC program reads the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program for a message type.
    Processing in the Application Layer:
    The customer distribution model is consulted to make sure that a receiver has been defined for the message to be transmitted. If not, processing ends. If at least one receiver exists, the IDoc selection program reads the master data object from the database and creates a master IDoc from it. The master IDoc is stored in memory. The program then calls the ALE service layer by using the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, passing the master IDoc and the receiver information.
    Processing in the ALE Interface Layer:
    Processing in the ALE Layer consists of the following steps:
    u2022 Receiver Determination: The determination of the receiver is done through Customer Distribution Model.
    u2022 IDoc Filtering: if an IDoc filter is specified in the distribution model for a receiver, values in the filter are compared against the values in the IDoc data records. If a data record does not meet the filter criteria, it is dropped.
    u2022 Segment Filtering: For each sender and receiver combination, a set of segments that are not required can be filtered out.
    u2022 Field conversion: Field values in data records are converted by using the conversion rules specified for the segment.
    u2022 Version change for segments: Segments are version-controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from the preceding version and fields added for the new version. Release in IDoc type field of the partner profile to determine the version of the segment to be generated.
    u2022 Version change for IDocs: IDocs are also version controlled. The version is determined from the Basic Type field of the partner profile.
    u2022 Communication IDocs generated: The final IDoc generated for a receiver after all the conversions and filtering operations is the communication IDoc. One master IDoc can have multiple communication IDocs depending on the number of receivers identified and the filter operations performed. IDoc gets the status record with a status code of 01 (IDoc Created).
    u2022 Syntax check performed: IDoc goes through a syntax check and data integrity validation. If errors found the IDoc get the status of 26 (error during syntax check of IDoc u2013 Outbound). If no errors found the IDoc gets the status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch u2013 ALE Service).
    u2022 IDoc dispatched to the communication Layer: In the ALE process, IDocs are dispatched using the asynchronous RFC method, which means that the sending system does not await for data to be received or processed on the destination system. After IDocs have been transferred to the communication layer, they get a status code 01 (Data Passed to Port OK).
    Processing in the Communication Layer:
    To dispatch an IDoc to a destination system, the system reads the port definition specified in the partner profile to determine the destination system, which is then used to read the RFC destination. The RFC destination contains communication settings to log o to the remote SAP system. The sending system calls the INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS function module asynchronously on the destination system and passes the IDoc data via the memory buffers.
    Inbound Process in IDocs:
    An inbound process used IDoc structure, posting programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables to post an application document from an IDoc.
    Posting Program:
    Posting programs, which are implemented as function modules, read data from an IDoc and create an application document from it. A posting program exists for each message. Each posting program is assigned a process code. A process code can point to a function module or a work flow. In the standard program process codes always point to a function module.
    Ex. The posting program for message type MATMAS is IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS which has a process code MATM.
    Workflow:
    A workflow represents a sequence of customized steps to be carried out for a process. The workflow management system is used to model the sequence, identify information required to carry out the steps and identify the person responsible for the dialog steps.
    Partner Profile;
    A partner profile specifies the components used in an inbound process (partner number, message type, and process code), the mode in which IDocs are processed (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of errors.
    Process flow for the Inbound process via a Function Module:
    In this process, IDocs are received from another system and passed to the posting function module directly.
    1. Processing in the communication Layer:
    The IDOC_INBOUND_ASYCHRONOUS program, triggered as a result of an RFC from the sending system, acts as the entry point for all inbound ALE processes. The IDoc to be processed is passed as an input parameter. Control is transferred to the ALE/EDI layer.
    2. Processing in the ALE/EDI Interface Layer:
    u2022 Basic integrity check: A basic integrity check is performed on the control record.
    u2022 Segment Filtering and conversion: Filtering out unwanted segments and carry out any required conversion of field values.
    u2022 Creation of Application IDoc: The application IDoc is created and stored in the database and a syntax check is performed. If there are errors it gets status code of 60 (Error during Syntax check of IDoc u2013 Inbound). At this point a tangible IDoc, which can be monitored via one of the monitoring transactions, is created and the IDoc gets status code 50 (IDoc Added).
    u2022 IDoc Marked ready for Dispatch: IDoc gets the status code 64 (IDoc ready to be passed to application).
    u2022 IDoc is passed to the posting program: The partner profile table is read. If the value of the Processing field is set to Process Immediately, the IDoc is passed to the posting program immediately using the program RBDAPP01.
    3. Processing in the Posting Module:
    The process code in the partner profile points to a posting module for the specific message in the IDoc. The posting program implemented as a function module either calls a standard SAP transaction by using the Call Transaction command for posting the document or invokes a direct input function module.
    The results of execution are passed back via the function moduleu2019s output parameters. If the posting is successful IDoc gets the status code 53 (Application Document Posted) or it gets status code 51 (Error: Application Document Not Posted).

  • Technical requirement's for ALE/Idoc

    Hi all,
    Am new for ALE/IDOC
    we have requirement for ALE inbound and outbound scenarios ,
    what are the mandatory requirements(port,partner profile, message type ..etc) from technical point of  view for Technical consultants,
    Regards
    Suresh.D

    Here is the step-by-step configuration approach in ALE.
    - Create logical system (txn BD54)
    - Assign client to Logical system (txn SCC4)
    - Create RFC destination (txn SM59)
    - Generate ports (txn WE21)
    - Create partner profiles (txn WE20)
    - Create distribution model (txn BD64)
    Now you can use the required transactions like BD10 (to send materials), BD12 (to send customers), BD14 (to send vendors)....which would create the IDocs. You can view the generated IDocs via txn WE02 as you note down the system time when the IDocs are generated. You can use txn BD87 too to trace the IDocs at the sender...
    If idoc is in status 51 or 52 process by program RBDMANI2 or in transaction BD87, If idoc is in 64 status process the idoc by program RBDAPP01.

  • Material for ale,idoc programming

    Hi folks,
    i need urgently the material for IDOC programming.i am mentioning the process below.
      1)i have created one program. i need to send some fields to a folder through IDOCS.

    Thanks

    hi,
    Intermediate Documents (IDOCs)
    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data.
    The two available process for IDOCs are 1) Outbound Process 2) Inbound Process.
    There are basically two types of IDOCs.:
    1.  Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be     
         exchanged between two systems.
    2. Extension Idoc: Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    -To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    1. Create Segment      ( WE31)
    2. Create Idoc Type      ( WE30)
    3. Create Message Type  ( WE81)
    4. Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)
    1. Creating a Segment:
    nGo to transaction code WE31
    nEnter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
    nType the short text
    nEnter the variable names and data elements
    nSave it and go back
    nGo to Edit -> Set Release
    nFollow steps to create more number of segments
    2. Create Idoc Type      (WE30)
    nGo to transaction code WE30
    nEnter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
    nSelect the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
    nSelect the IDOC Name and click Create icon
    nThe system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
    nChoose the appropriate values and press Enter
    nThe system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
    nFollow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
    nnSave it and go back
    nnGo to Edit -> Set release
    3. Create Message Type  (WE81)
    nGo to transaction code WE81
    nChange the details from Display mode to Change modenAfter selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press EnternClick New Entries to create new Message Type
    nFill details
    nSave it and go back
    4. Assign Idoc Type to Message Type (WE82)
    nGo to transaction code WE82
    nChange the details from Display mode to Change moden After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter.
    nClick New Entries to create new Message Type.
    nFill details
    nSave it and go back
    There are three types of records :
    nControl Record                          nData Record                                     nStatus Record
    Control Record - contains the key information like destination, IDoc type, message type, port and sender information. Control records are of EDIDC type of structure.
    Data Records - This contains two parts.
    nAdministrative Section and Data Section
    nAdministrative Section consists of Idoc number, Segment Name, Segment number, Version, Segment Hierarchy etc.
    nData Section contains the data of respective segment
    nData records are of EDIDD type of structure
    nStatus Record - whenever a process is taken place, system will generate status records.
    nWe can identify the process with the number of status record.
    n01 - 49  for Outbound Process
    n50 - 75  for Inbound Process
    nwhen IDoc is processed the messages are:
    n01 - IDoc is created 
    n30 - IDoc is ready for dispatch
    n03 - IDoc is processed

  • Upgrade impact on ALE, IDOC, RFC & XI

    Hi all
    We are having SAP R/3 4.6c and planning to upgrade ECC 6.0. Please tell me what are impacts on ALE, IDOC, RFC & XI integrations.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Raju

    During Upgrade...
    ALE : ALE Customer Distribution Model ajustments due to changes in underlying structures and fields in Idoc Segments
    We need to adjust the CDM as to adopt these to new ECC6.0 enviroment.
    IDOC : Many of the new IDOCS are not released by SAP hence it happens that these IDOCs get stucked in ALE Communication layer and hence we need to see that IDOC's in use or to be used are released by SAP.
    SAP supports these release issues ...
    Also check the Message Control Settings which needs to be checked and verified during upgrade..
    Interface Mappings : - IDOC to Non SAP systems..Proper rights access should be checked...
    Authorisations, Access rights for Directories ...
    These are the main areas which you should look upon and rest of the things will be known to you once your Business Process testing will start

  • Steps for ale idoc creation?

    Hi,
    I want the complete process of ale idoc generation.
    my maild id is [email protected]
    Thank You.
    From:
    Mohammed Moid Ahmed

    Hi
    Data Creation in Idoc
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
    *IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
    *Electronic Interchange Document
    *They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
    *Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    *IDocs exchange messages
    *IDocs are used like classical interface files
    IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
    WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
    An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
    FOr testing you can use WE19.
    How to create idoc?
    *WE30 - you can create a IDOC type

    An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
    1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
    2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
    3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
    The two available process for IDOCs are
    Outbound Process
    Inbound Process
    AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
    Basic IDOCs
    Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
    Extended IDOCs
    Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
    To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
    Create Segment ( WE31)
    Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
    Create Message Type ( WE81)
    Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

  • How is partner profile for ALE/IDOC transported?

    Hi experts,
    How is a request created for transporting configurations in ALE/idoc.
    Valuable answers will be generously rewarded.
    regards,
    Shrita.

    Hi,
    some configurations are client dependent and some are client independent.
    so client dependent configurations are transported to different clients using SCC1 transaction.
    and client independent configurations they refelect automatically.

  • Performance improvement for ALE/IDOC processing

    Dear experts,
    Could you let me know any information to tune performance?
    In our system (SAP R/3 Enterprise 6.20), material master data is distributed from one client to other clients in the same instance. It is because material master is maintained centrally, and is distributed to other clients for member companies.
    During the night batch, distributing master data takes more than 2 hours. Although the distribution usually finishes without errors, we would like to explore ways to improve processing performance. Especially, program RBDMIDOC runs long time to create IDOC for MATMAS, even 0 master IDOC is set eventually.
    OSS notes of the list for OS/DB/SAP parameters related to ALE/IDOC, tips in organizing batch jobs, etc, will be very appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Nori

    I'd recommend to profile the program at least once to see where there's possible room for improvements. I.e. an ABAP runtime analysis and SQL trace would be good for a start. You can check out the links in thread Please Read before Posting in the Performance and Tuning Forum, which will give you some references if you need them. Once you have more details, you either know what you need to do or you can provide them and ask a more specific question (and thus you will receive much better answers).
    As a general remark though I've seen often poor performance initially on the changer pointer selection, because there are too many entries in the table (due to system generating unnecessary change pointers, which should be disabled or/and lack of proper reorganization, i.e. deletion of old/processed change pointers via BD22). Sounds like this is most likely also the cause of your problem, because otherwise it's hard to explain long run times without generating any master IDocs. You can check the number of change pointers easily via view BDCPV or BDCP2 - it depends how you store your change pointers (most likely you find them via view BDCPV in a 6.20 system, unless somebody switched it to the newer BDCP2).
    If you still have them in BDCPV (or the underlying tables to be more precise), check out [OSS note 305462 - MOD: Migration change pointer to table BDCP2|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/305462], which will provide you a general hint how to do that (and thus also improve the performance). However, if you're currently not deleting any old change pointers, you should ensure that a regular job runs for transaction BD22 (program RBDCPCLR). You'll easily find other (possibly relevant) OSS notes by doing a search yourself...

  • Urgent: Application Object Type for ALE IDoc

    Hi All,
    I am struggling with ALE IDoc, I just wanted to know that is it mandatory to create Application Object Type when i have created my own message type, Idoc type, segment type and Function Module. I am Getting an error while excuting transaction we42( Maintaining Process code)
    Error: Application Object Type is not planned.
    Please Help with this.  i don't have any requirement of filtering or serialisation, so still do i need to create these application objects.
    Useful ans will be rewarded.
    Thanx

    Hi,
    Yes u need to have the assignment of Object type as ur extending the IDOC.
    Check the steps below:
    TCode- BD95.
    Create ALE object type  “Z...”  with table name “EKKO” and Field name “-BSART”
    Step2:
    Tcode- BD59 – “Assignment of Object type to Message”
    Give the message type “ORDERS”.
    Assign the object type “Z........” to segment type “E1EDK01’ with field “BSART”.
    Regards

    4. At the outbound side, once you create the distribution model, select the model, and from the menu bar, select, Edit->Model view->distribute.... this will create the model view at the receiver.
    Now use the respective transactions to send the respective customer or vendor or....of ur need.
