Use Adapter Engine of another XI system (Decentralised Adapter Engine)

In order to create a workaround for a specific problem, I'm investigating the possibility to attach the Adapter Engine of a second XI system to a productive XI system. The outcome should be that the productive XI system has access to two Adapter Engines: one central and one decentral.
1. is this possible at all?
2. if yes, can you provide some pointers on how to proceed?

Hi Iddo,
Adding a "new" decentral adapter engine on a separate hardware to an existing central PI system is not that hard, but as Stephan said, you cannot do that with an adapter engine of a different full XI installation.
I assume you want to use the decentral adapter engine, while upgrading/patching the decentral one? One customer of mine does that kind of switching of scenarios regularly when applying patches to one of their adapter engines (set up central integration engine with one central and 2 decentral adapter engine). It's possible, but a little bumpy sometimes.
Anyway be aware that in case of an update/patch of the central integration server your decentral adapter engine cannot make any cache refreshes to any adapter engine.
Best regards

Receiver File Adapter - Create File on another SAP System

I am working on a project that includes this requirement: PDF files to be copied from a third party company via SFTP to a directory on our ECC system.
We have worked out the sender side config, and the transfer of the files into PI works fine via SFTP.
However, the PDF files are ending up in a directory on the PI system and not on our ECC system as expected.
The receiver communication channel is set up as follows:
Party = blank
Communication Component = communication component of the ECC business system
Adapter type = File
('Receiver' is ticked)
Transport Protocol = File System (NFS) (etc)
Target directory = /tmp (using this temporarily for testing)
I would have thought using the ECC business system would mean the files would end up on that system, but instead they end up on the /tmp directory on the PI system.
We are not permitted to use FTP between our SAP systems, so I can't go with that option.
I've searched for help on this and only see conflicting and vague statements about whether the NFS protocol can or can't be used for transfer to another SAP system in the landscape.
Any suggestions and help on the above, and the best method of transferring the files to the end SAP system would be very appreciated.
Regards,
Christine

remember that NFS means that it is referring to a file system on PI server.
What you could do is mount a space on SAP PI onto SAP ECC so that ECC will be able to access the files on SAP PI.
Guess that should solve the problem.

Inconsistency of results using adaptive RFC

I'm calling a function from a R/3 System using Adaptive RFC and i'm having different results from my webdynpro application that the ones that i'm having in the R/3.
If someone could tell me why this happen I will appreciate.
Thanks.

Hi Frank,
Iin another opportunity I had tried to do the same procedure you are trying and not getting hit. I ended up using the parameter "sap-wd-client = WmlClient" in the url of the application ... What makes this return in xml format and can be accessed like a Web Service. It really is not a proper use for a Web Dynpro application, but with some customization finally meet demand.

Error while using XML Iview, please contact your system administrator.

Hello everybody,
I have already posted a detailed message for the XML iview problem sometime back but havent got any reply so far. All the replies had come from users who are also facing the same problem. I am trying to use a XML iview for fetching RSS feeds from one of the internet source, i have entered the proper URL and selected the proper RSS to XHTMLB transformer also and have entered the proxy settings in the http service and enabled it and restarted it also, but again when i am previewing the Iview its giving me the error <b>"Error while using XML Iview, please contact your system administrator."</b>. I am using
    Area           Version
    J2EE Engine    6.40 PatchLevel 98256.313
    Portal         6.0.14.0.0
, can someone tell me whether its a bug in sp14 or i am missing something while creating this XML Iview. Expecting a proper reply.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sarabjeet.

Hi Sarabjeet,
The XML iView uses server-side fetching, so if you are having problems with a regular URL iView in server-side fetching mode, so the problem with the XML iVIew probably has to do with the proxy settings.
And since you got a 407 error, it seems there is an issue with proxy settings or the proxy server, as mentioned in this description of 407 error:
The HTTP 407 code only applies to users who are accessing the Internet behind a proxy server. This is common in government and corporate workplaces. The 407 code indicates that your computer must first authenticate itself with your company's proxy server. Check with your IT department or computer support group as to the exact reason why you may be getting this error. It may be possible that the proxy server does not allow downloads of specific files (exe, cab, com). You can also verify that your proxy server settings are valid.
I will check if I can find out any more specific info.

Need of XI to send an XML from one SAP system to another SAP system

Dear colleagues,
I work in the SRM solution.
In SRM there is a Purchaser and Supplier scenario called Supplier Self Services.
The Purchaser creates a Purchase order and sends it to the supplier in form of an XML file.
The purchaser system and supplier system are the same SAP system but different clients.
Example: Purchaser client is 300 and Supplier client is 330 and both of them are on the same system.
I have a very basic question.
Currently we have the XI system which acts as an interface to send the Purchaser PO XML to the Supplier as XML.
a)My question is in case the XML structure is identical across both the clients, then what is the need of XI system?
b) Is it not possible to send XML from one client to another without an XI system? there si no need of any message mapping required since I am expecting the same XML structure in both clients.
Please clarify the need of XI system in the following scenario. Is it not possible without XI?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Srivatsa

Hi Srivatsa,
YOu can send the XML message from one sap system to another sap system even without an XI system in between.
But the use of SAP XI (Or any other middleware) is recommended because, it gives you the following advantages.
1) Better monitoring and alerting mechanism. XI provides you robust set of tools that let you monitor the status of the messages that are exchanged.
2) Direct communication between systems is referred to as Point to Point communication, which has its own disadvantages as against Hub and SPoke model (Message exchange using XI).
3) Message delivery is guaranteed if you have XI in between.
If the target system is down, the sender sap system will not try multiple times to post the message.
But if you use XI, it can be configured to send the message multiple times, till it succeeds.

SOAP Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding

Hi Friends,
   I am new to use to Soap Adapter. Please help me out bellow doubts.
   1.When you use Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding .
   2. Where exactly we r using below parameters.
Remote User : (technical name: SRemoteUser )
Remote Host : (technical name: SRemoteHost )
SOAP Action (technical name: SHeaderSOAPACTION )
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName1 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName2 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName3 )
Thanks&Regards

Hi,
   1.When you use Use Adapter-Specific Message Properties and Variable Transport Binding .
SAP Help says both are needed to be checked when you want to process adapter attributes
Configuring the Receiver SOAP Adapter - SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure - SAP Library
These attributes can be get/set using dynamic configuration and their technical names are what you have pasted:
Remote User : (technical name: SRemoteUser )
Remote Host : (technical name: SRemoteHost )
SOAP Action (technical name: SHeaderSOAPACTION )
To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator. You can then store the following attributes and their values in the XI message header:
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName1 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName2 )
Variable Header : (technical name: XHeaderName3 )
Remote User - the username used to send a message to the adapter engine using SOAP
Remote Host - hostname which the remote user used
SOAP Action - SOAP Action of the XI webservice (sender) / SOAP Action of the receiver webservice
Variable Headers are additional key-value pairs in the HTTP Header that could be accessed in the XI Header using dynamic configuration. The limit is only three though.

Mark

How can I export my configuration from MAX to another automation system through NI-DAQmx

Hi,
has someone of you an idea how i can export my configuration from MAX to another automation system through NI-DAQmx?
We created a dll for the communication between the AUSY (not LabVIEW) and NI-DAQmx. The export file .nce is not in ascii format, so we can't use it or is there a way of solving our problem with it?

Using Adapter-specific attributes in Mail adapter

Hi,
I try to use adapter-specific attributes in my Mail adapter. I set the "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" indicator, but I do not get a result in the mapping and also in the SXMB_MONI the attributes are not visible.
The documentation also refers to Variable Transport Binding indicator:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm</a>
Could this be the problem? I cannot find this indiciator! Does anyone know where I can find this indicator?
Regards,
Torsten

Hi,
The values for the parameters, set using adapter specific message attributes are available at runtime in the path http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
We need to write UDF's that can extract the values from this path.
For Ex:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters() .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
if (valueOld != null) {
    String valueNew = valueOld.replaceAll(input,output);
    conf.put(key, valueNew);
If you check Dynamic configuration in sxmb_moni, you would be able to find the values for all the attributes that have been set in the adapter.

Smitha.

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.

1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears...

After downloading iOS 7 I can't use my AppStore as another language than english appears... I am getting frustred!

I don't know if this helps, but I experienced a similar issue with my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7.
My "solution" to the problem, after pulling out my hair for hours, is to plug it in the wall charger, and then shut the iPad down completely. It does charge when turned off, although a bit slower than usual, or so it seems. Pheeew...:-) I realize that this is a pain if you have a problem with an iPhone, because you have to turn it off to charge it. Presuming that this works, of course. Otherwise, I don't know..
After the update, the iPad simply does not respond when i plug in the charger, nor does it connect to the USB port. The battery just keeps wearing down. I think it could be connected to the firmware change that iOS 7 brings, which I guess in itself has to do with Apple wanting to block out 3rd party manufacturers of power adapters of the new "lightning" type.
The only thing I can think of that might have gone wrong on my part concerning the update is that I didn't have it plugged in while installing the update - although I believe this is recommended from Apple. I'm thinking that in my case the new firmware update simply hasn't registered any adapter present upon installation, and that might have caused the iPad to not recognize an adapter at all, regardless of type. I have always used original Apple adapters, btw, so I'm not really guilty of anything other than not plugging it in while updating - or, at least that's my own theory. Which is better than no theory at all.. ;-)
Obviously, I'm waiting eagerly for Apple to solve this issue. Not really happy at all with this..

Any way to export a financial statement to another SAP system?!?

Hi (and besides a Happy New Year to you all),
does any of you know a way to easily export a financial statement / P&L structure and to import it to another SAP system (like the way you can export and import Profit Center reports)?!? Both systems do have nearly the same accounts.
Any help will be appreciated (and awarded)
Thanks in advance,
Christian Kaes

First, no, you cannot thread between files, so you would need to move pages from one file into the other.
Second, you can certainly export the book to PDF. There are two "flavors" of PDF, interactive or print, but either one can be used to make a PDF from the entire Book. Choose Export Book as PDF from the Book Panel flyout menu, choose your flavor as appropriate, then choose a location and finally the options.

Using accrual engine for reversal of month end provisions

Hello everyone,
I am working on a requirement to set up accrual engine for automatic reversal of month end provisions (like electricity expense provision at month end which will be reversed on first day of next month).
I understand that accrual engine is meant for handling accruals and deferrals. But having seen the manual option of FBS1 and F.81, I felt there must be an option in the accrual engine also to handle provisions and their reversal. Also, I saw some comments in this forum that using accrual engine it is possible to automatically reverse the postings.
So I set up a test scenario in sandbox client with basic configuration for Manual Accruals (accrual type, methods, object category, number ranges, account determination)
After that I created an accrual object which automatically created an FI document for the provision entry. So far it is fine and working as expected. Now, for reversing the document, I see two options:
1) Reverse entire accrual run; or
2) Reverse the accrual object.
By reversing the accrual object, I was able to post a reversal FI document. I am not sure whether reversal of entire accrual run is right option since SAP help recommends to use this in case wrong key date was used.
But both options require manual execution for reversal.
Am I missing some other option? Is there any other option/setting in the accrual engine where it is possible to set up automatic reversal of a month end provision? Only if this is not feasible, I would look at other solutions (like FBS1+F.81 or FBS1+background job for F.81).
Any inputs/pointers from the learned members will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Raghu

Hello Raghu,
As far as I know, all clients I worked with preferred using "FBS1+background job for F.81" as they found this more flexible (adapt job variant and possible dynamic selection), easy to maintain and well understood by accountants (rather than using accrual type, methods, object category...)

Can i use App schema from another Oracle database.

Hi everyone,
can i use application schema from another Oracle database and how can we do this. the reason is that current database where apex is installed is get very slow because of the size of database and application usage.

You can (using database links), but this will generally result in even poorer performance (unless by "another Oracle database" you mean using RAC?)
It sounds more like you either need to upgrade your systems, or refactor your applications to have a smaller performance footprint.

HI Data Mart Interface from one BW to another BW System

Hi ,
I am trying to extract data from one CUBE in a BW system to another CUBE In another BW system .. WHen I am trying to extract it gives me srror saying that .
udayulli - Short dump in the Warehouse
Diagnosis
The data update was not completed. A short dump has probably been logged in BW providing information about the error.
System response
"Caller 70" is missing.
Further analysis:
Search in the BW short dump overview for the short dump belonging to the request. Pay attention to the correct time and date on the selection screen.
You get a short dump list using the Wizard or via the menu path "Environment -> Short dump -> In the Data Warehouse".
Error correction:
Follow the instructions in the short dump.
When I went in to the short dump i found a message saying the internal table ID cannot be extended further ,
Thanks in Advance .

Hi dear,
try to do a search in these forums with "Caller 70"...you will find a lot of useful posts...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
