Using RFC in File to Idoc Scenario

Hi all,
I got a complex requirement in EDI to IDOC Scenario , I am getting EDI 850 file from Customer and posting IDOC to R3 . In this process i need to have some validations using RFC(Which connects to R3) at XI level, If these validations fails then we should not post Idoc to R3 and we need to send back a mail to customer. I am not expert at XI, So can you please suggest is there is any way to build this requirement.
Thanks for looking into this. Your help is appreciable
Thanks,
Kishore

Yes, u can achieve it by using multimappping.
First write a functional module wich is remote enabelled(just change the parameter value).
Then in message mapping u will have a multimapping,with mail (0..1) occurence.
If suppose the validation fails u will send a flag or a field which to PI, and based on this value the mail is sent to the recepients.
In operation mapping make sure that Mail occurence is 0..1.
If any prblm still.. pl do post.

File to IDOC Scenario using BPM

Hi Experts,
    I am working on file-Bapi-Idoc scenario using BPM.
    I have two conditions
1. If the Sonumber is populated then need trigger an Bapi_change
2.If the Sonumber is not populated from the file then need to trigger a Bapi_Createfromdat to create the sales order and receive the salesorder number as response from Bapi
and the response of these BAPIs should be validated whether the Bapi is successful or not.
If it is successful message then need to trigger IDOC or else should throw an alert message.
let me know the steps involved in this scenario.
can i send alert message to other email IDs or can i send it to only XI admin?
Please let me know u r inputs.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hey,
You need to have a BPM for this.
BPM design.
Recieve step(abstract asynchronous) for file structure
Switch Case(condition whether sonumber is populated or not)
if populated
Branch 1(of switch)
    transforamtion step:- mapping between File and Bapi_Change(Request structure)
Send step(abstract syncronous) To send the BAPI_change
Branch 2(of switch)
transformation step:-mapping between file and BApi_Create
Send step(abstract synchronous) To send the BAPI_Create
Block step(which will include the Switch step)
    trigger an Execption in case of an error(in any of the two branches) through the block
    The Exception will trigger an alert.
Now after the Block step there will be a transformation step(which will have the mapping between RFC response and Idoc)
Next is the send step(abstract asynchronous) for the idoc
In case if there is no exception the Idoc will be triggered or the exception branch will trigger the alert
rewards points if useful

Regarding RFC connection in File to IDOC Scenario

Hi everyone,
I was configuring file to Idoc Scenario, i have made all the required configurations in SLD, IR and ID, in XI system and in R/3 System. i have created RFC connection from XI to R/3 system, and its working fine. i have created an Partner profile in WE20 with sender file system name with inbound parameters. But still i am getting error as EDI Partner Profile not defined in WE05- iDOC ADDED WITH ERRORS. Do we need to create an RFC connection from R/3 system to XI for file to Idoc Scenario
!!! Note: RFC connection from R/3 system to XI is not working, will this be a problem for file to idoc scenario. !!!
Regards,
Varun Reddy.K

Hi Varun
Follow these steps
First - Maintain the Sender R/3 System:
SM59 : Create a RFC destination to XI
WE21 : Create a TRFC Port ->Specify the RFC Destination Created
BD54 : Create a Logical System for the Idoc Receiver
WE20 : Create Partner Profile ->Maintain Outbound and the Inbound Parameters
Second - Log on to XI System:
SM59 : RFC Destination for Sender System
IDX1 : Create the port to get Idoc Metadata from Sender System ( The Port Name must match the port name in the idoc header - Usually in format SAP<System ID>. eg. SAPID1 [Optional Step. Not mandatory]
IDX2 : Maintain the Idoc Metadata. This is needed only by XI, and not by other SAP systems. IDX2 is needed because XI needs to construct IDoc-XML from the IDoc. No other SAP system needs to do that.

File to Idoc Scenario using third party systems

hi,
Working with a File to Idoc Scenario. Been able to successfully define everything in IR / ID. However when I go to BD87 (reciever system) and see the status of Idoc processed - getting the error code 51 "Function Module Not Allowed: <Function Name>" . What could be the reason for this???
Have defined partner profiles in WE20 of type LS and also specified an inbound paramter in the post processing tab for partner profile. Are there any other settings I need to take care of to avoid getting that error.

Hi
I am giving u all the steps whioch are required for
File to IDoc Scenario
SM59- Create RFC destination
IDX1- Create a IDXPORT in idx1
IDX2-3. Import metadata of IDocs in idx2
Bus. service adapter specific Identifiers-->Logical sys name
we05-IDoc status records
BD54-Create Partner Number
We20-Create Partner Profile
WE19-Testing IDoc Processing
SE16-Table name->LFA1 to check vendor has been created
Check have u followed all the steps.

File to IDOC scenario using FTP server

Dear Experts,
I'm getting IDOCs in the form of .TXT file from sender side and at reciever end we have IDOC. We are using FTP connection at sender.
I want to know:
1. Is FCC the only solution to integrate with PI or do we have any other option also?
2. What all the things I need to care in designing and configuration?
Thanks a lot.

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.

Fault message type using in File to IDoc Scenario

Hi,
I have successfully configured File to IDoc scenario. Now I am thinking to add some flavour to it by using Fault message type.
Can I use fault message type without using any proxies?
Can some body help in giving an answer to my question and provide some weblogs to achieve the configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Suraj Kumar

Hi Suraj,
With IDOCs, you cannot set up fault messages as it is async mode communication. There is not control which waits for the processing of the message/application errors as you have it in case of synch mode.
But, you can set up acknowledgement using ALEAUD. Check this for more /people/saravanakumar.kuppusamy2/blog/2005/01/20/configuration-tips-for-a-business-serviceintegration-process-to-send-back-ale-audit-idoc

Message has error status at outbound side File To Idoc Scenario

hi ,
In my File to Idoc scenario , when i go to sxmb_moni , i found that its showing red flag at Outbound Status Tab and showing message "Message has error status at outbound side".
When i go to IDX5 and and select my idoc and click on Transaction Id it shows "Password logon no longer possible - too many faile" .
Please suggest what may be the problem ?
Regards,
Rohit

1. First check the RFC destination name used in receiver Idoc adapter communication channel.
2. As i said earlier, in sm59 transaction in XI gui, u can check same rfc destination under type 3. There check the logon credentials and the username.
3. Now goto the R3 system GUI and check in su01 that same user is locked or not. If locked unlock it.
4. And if u change the password of that user, then do the similar change in XI -> sm59 -> rfc destination logon credential

IDocs not created in file to IDoc scenario

Hi all
I am trying this file to IDoc scenario.
File picked up successfully and sent to R/3 BackendBut Idoc is not postedthe status records
In /n we05 in R/3 Backend shows that EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
I created/tested all basics like RFC dest, port etc.
File service that I am using is a business service hence I am specifying a Logical system name in
Adapter specific Identifiers of the file service.
I disabled EDI_DC40 control tag record as IDoc adapter
takes care of it.
So at first I tried the configuration of IDoc comm. Channel by checking the Apply control record values from payload
But SXMB monitor gave an error regarding this control record tagI guess as we have disabled it so there wont be any values
for control record in payload (correct me if I am wrong).
So I unchecked the checkbox Apply control record values from payload and monitor showed up as successfully processed.
But in the backend I am getting this error regarding partner profile.
I also tried to use an existing profile (LS type) by modifying its inbound parameters to accept CREMAS Idoc.
But the error is as persistent as me
Pls help

Receive acknowledgement in file-to-idoc scenario

Hello!
I'm using guide "How to handle acknowledgement for IDOC", and for the first time I want to see an acknowledgement status in sxmb_moni.
I have passed all steps:
In CRM I have logical system P1DFILE, this is the system that sends an idoc to CRM.
Also, I have logical system C2DCLNT100 - this is CRM system.
First, I go to BD64, create new model view XI_CRM. Then, add message type:
Sender system - C2DCLNT100
Receiver system - P1DFILE
Message type - ALEAUD.
Then I create RFC destination P1D_001 to my PI server.
Then I create port SAPP1D using WE21
Then I go to WE20, choose my Logical System - P1DFILE. I already have the inbound message types (CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE and CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M). I add new outbound message - ALEAUD with receiver port SAPP1D.
Then I go to RBDSTATE, create variant SAP_AUDIT_SEND and enter:
Confirmation to system: P1DFILE
Message type: CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE and CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M
Then, in SM36 I shedule SAP_AUDIT_SEND as a hourly job (does this mean, that I will receive confirmations only every hour?)
So, what should I do to see ack in sxmb_moni?

ALE Configurations in File to IDOC Scenario

Hi All,
We are doing File to IDOC Scenario.
ALE Configurations done:
R/3 Side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to XI.
2. Created port in R/3(using automatically generated port name) and assigned the RFC dest created above.
3. Created partner profile and assigned the ports to the message types.
4. Created Logical system
XI side:
1. Created RFC dest, pointing to XI and tested the connection for remote login to r/3.
2. Created port using IDX1 transaction with port name starting with SAP<SID> and assigned the RFC dest created above. (SID of XI)
3. Unable to load metadata in XI.
Now we are unable to test the scenario as it provides an error message in MONI as "Error: Transaction IDX1: Port SAP<SID>, client , RFC destination contain errors".
Also Let me know whether the steps mentioned above are correct for the scenario.

** File to IDoc scenario - IDoc not created in target system

Hi friends,
We are doing File to IDoc scenario. We made required setting in both application as well as XI system. While test the scenario, the file is picked up and successfully processed in SXMB_MONI, but the inbound IDoc is not created in target system. What could be the problem?
We are using DEBMAS message type DEBMAS06 IDoc type. We checked the following.
1) SM59 - Connections are OK both application and XI system
2) IDX1 - In XI System, we have assigned SAP<R/3> port.
3) IDX2 - IDoc is imported.
4) In ID - Sender File - Business Service - Adapter-Specific Identifier - Logical System name is given.
5) In application system. - Partner Profile maintained correctly.
6) SM58 - There is no error.
So, what could be the reason ?
Kindly reply, friends,
Thanking you.
Kind Regards,

File to IDOC Scenario Not able get Metadata (IDX2)

Hi,
I am doing File to IDOC scenario. I have done all configurations in IR and in ID. But it is throwing error like ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_METADATA-Basic type ZOIDOC does not exist.
Where as my custom idoc is a not exit in metadata (IDX2). Also I am trying to reload same manually but I am not able to reload it. I have all required configuration in SAP R/3 side like partner profile.
I would appreciate yours inputs.

Hi Sunil,
You are saying that you are unable to load the Metadata even manually.
There could be a problem with the RFC destination defined within the IDX1 port. So first test the RFC destination using SM59.
Also ensure that you have used the right naming conventions for the PORTS and RFC destinations as below:
<SID>CL<ClientNo> e.g DXXCL055 where DXX is the SID and 055 is the Client No.

XI 3 File to IDoc scenario - Still referencing Old Logical system

Hi
Dont know if you can help. I have a file to idoc scenario using XI 3 to R/3 4.6c system.
I had the interface working from a third party system XMLHUB to SAP R/3. The Logical system name for the XMLHUB was XMLHUB01 in the SLD which I have set up as a partner profile in R/3. I have recently changed the logical system name to XMLHUBDEV01 in the SLD and created that logical system in R/3 and changed the partner profile to XMLHUBDEV01.
Unfortunately in the sender information of the IDoc the partner number is still XMLHUB01 and not XMLHUBDEV01. I don't understand where this partner is sent from to get into the control record of the IDoc.
I have cleared the SLD cache in both the Repository and the directory. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Any help would be appreciated.

Daniel

Error in File to IDOC Scenario

Hi,
I have File to IDOC scenario.
I am getting error in sender file channel.
"Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Mandatory parameter 'xml.keyfieldName': no value found "
Although I have used this parameter in content conversion 'xml.keyfieldName' (for each sub structure and defined a key field).
Despite of this error in sender channel I am receiving the message in XI.
But in XI also it throws error :
"Unable to convert the sender service PG_TOM_CEEMEA_RU_SFA to an ALE logical system"
Any help on this ?
Thanks,
Vikas

Hello Vikas,
I am getting error in sender file channel.
"Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Mandatory parameter 'xml.keyfieldName': no value found "
Although I have used this parameter in content conversion 'xml.keyfieldName' (for each sub structure and defined a key field).
Check your flat file structure whether the key field you have chosen is appropriate and also recheck the FCC details whether you have assigned the value for the key field i.e. keyFieldValue.
"Unable to convert the sender service PG_TOM_CEEMEA_RU_SFA to an ALE logical system"
regarding the above error refer this
