Using SAPR/3 IDOC in PI as External definition,type of communication channe

Hi,iam using IDOC Structure as an external definition in PI ,I JUST want to know the procedure for file to idoc using external defintion for idoc structure in the reciever side and what is the communication channel needed for recieving external definition at reciever side.
will be waiting for you rresponse.
bye.
regards.
Varma

Hi
Use the following steps:
1. Select the software component that you want to import an IDoc type for.
Check the settings for the software component version. Make sure the
attribute Import of RFC and IDoc Interfaces from SAP Systems Permitted
is selected and that the technical connection data for importing from the
SAP system is maintained.
2. Under the Imported Objects node choose Import RFC/IDoc from the context
menu.
3. Enter a valid user and password and choose Continue.
You need to use a receive IDoc Communication Channel but in case of sender no need to create a communication channel.

ISO help using SharePoint Designer 2010 to create an External Content Types from a table that has many columns

I am trying to create an external content type for a specific list. The problem is that there are so many columns (more than 200) that I get the error:
The operation(s) generation creates an SQL query which exceeds the length limit in Business Data
Connectivity Metadata Store. The operation(s) will not be generated. Recreate
the operation(s) with less number of columns in the configuration.
I tried turning off a dozen columns and I am still getting this error. I am nearing the limit of the "extra" columns I can eliminate.
What is the actual limit on number of columns?
Thank you.

Hi,
From my research, it seems to be the limitation in response TTL and response size. To confirm
it, would you please check the detailed errors logged in ULS log? <o:p></o:p>
If you identified the threshold has be reached, you may follow this link to increase
the threshold according to your business requirement.<o:p></o:p>

IDoc to File scenario (External Definition)

Hi
I have a scenario which is a Idoc to file scenario. Here I want to continue with mapping only if the field MATNR exists on the source side (Idoc) otherwise I should get a message on the target side that the "Mapping failed because MATNR field does not exist " and the mapping should fail.
There are two independant MATNR fields and mapping should fail if I either of them does not exist.Please keep in mind that there indepandant of each other.
Please help
Thanks in advance

You have to write an UDF with exception. In exception you can write your message (the reasone of failure).
something like this..
//Mapping trace will add the warning to show in MONI (if trace level is set to 1 atleast in Tcode SXMB_ADM).
MappingTrace trace = container.getTrace();
for (int i = 0; i < MATNR.length; i++)
          if(MATNR<i>.equals(""))
               trace.addWarning("MATNR is missing.");
               throw new RuntimeException("MATNR is missing.");
abvoe code is just an example, you have to modify and put the logic as per your need.

Is it possible to to use SQlite database as an External Content type?

Hi guys,
I need some help in accessing data from an external database(SQlite) and use it in sharepoint 2010. I have a list in sharepoint 2010 but some of the fields must come from SQlite database. Whenever the list is updated, the corresponding
fields from SQlite database should also be updated.
I've been looking on some examples on using external content types but I've only encountered examples using SQL server. I'm new to sharepoint 2010 and I have little idea to get this done. Can someone kindly assist me on this?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
SharePoint is designed to use Business Connectivity Services when talking to external data sources.
The Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) can connect to external data from the following types of databases:
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
OLE DB
ODBC
So you may connect to SQLite through ODBC. Take a look at this example how to connect to MySQL through ODBC
Connecting MySQL using BCS. You may create an External Content Type for SQLite the same way.

Defining read operation on External content type

Hi,
I have used SharePoint designer to connect create an external content type to the lists.asmx web service on another sharepoint farm. On attempting to generate a read operation, I receive the following error. Any idea of how to fix this? is there any way
I can point to a single list as opposed to getting the methods for all the lists on the external sharepoint?
BTW, I am currently pointing to https://<soourceurl>/_vti_bin/lists.asmx
thanks

We cannot use the Lists.asmx web service, because every method has parameters.
Do you want to add/update/delete a list in from another site? If so, you can display the list in a data view web part using Lists.asmx and give the New Form/Edit Form’s URLs in the data view web part.

External Definitions under SAP Basis 7.10

Hi All,
We are trying with Directory API Developement using the following blog,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/11655. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
As per the blog we need to import External definition from SAP Basis software component(under the namespace http://sap.com/xi/XI/System).But we are not able to see any external definitions.
Could you please guide us what are the extra setting needed to be done to get those external definitions.
Thanks and Regards
Senthil.

Hi Senthil,
from that blog:
Java proxies can be generated in NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) from:
1. Web service URL from the web service runtime of the JEE server, by using the "Web Services Navigator"
2. External definitions in the "SAP Basis 7.00" SWCV
You will find the external definitions in Basis Component 7.00, but not in 7.10. Just load the 7.00 into your ESR.

Udo

Help sought filtering athe results for an external content type.

I have been using resources like
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee557243(v=office.14).aspx to set up an external content type. Then I used resources such as
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee558778(v=office.14).aspx to create an external list.
I got the infamous error "Unable to display this Web Part..." that web searches show generally happen when too many results are being returned.
When I set up the Read List operation, I did create a limit filter. The column that has a unique value for each record was selected with a default value of 100. The bits I have read seemed to indicate that would limit the results to 100 records. In
my case, what I was attempting to do should have only returned a few records, so that seemed safe.
Since I am getting the error that people indicate is related to too many records being returned, and I looked using powershell and it seems that the default is 2000 items, the limit filter doesn't appear to be working.
I have read books, web blogs, forum threads and technotes. Unfortunately most of what I have read does not really explain _what_ one is supposed to do in a way that is general. Typically it is all done in terms of some specific example, which perhaps I am
not translating into my specific case appropriately.
Can someone explain the filtering and how the functionality works?
Thank you!

So I am thinking this may not be a limit problem at all. However, the Read List operation, right now, has only one filter parameter - on a column that I have verified has no null entries. There are a lot of columns - and a lot of rows. So I set up a limit
filter with a default value of 100, which I thought would limit the number of records returned to 100.
Perhaps the real problem is something different and it only manifests itself as a null value?
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

File to multiple Idocs using external definitions.

Hi all,
I have to create multiple idocs based on one field from source side.
Inorder to do this..I have decided to change the occurance of Idoc from 1 to 1..unbounded , in the xsd i have downloaded from standard Idoc.
which i have a plan to map to the filed , based on that i need to create new Idoc.
I have tried importing the modified xsd into external definition. but how i should relate it to standard idoc which I have mapped earlier?.
Thanks,
venu.

HI Venu,
<i>
I have tried importing the modified xsd into external definition. but how i should relate it to standard idoc which I have mapped earlier?.</i>
After changing the Idoc occurence , you have imported the xsd into external definition. So this will act as as new message type for you in the mapping.
You can not use old mapping here.

Idoc as external definition for occurance change - interface use

Hello,
never used this.
Found this blog from Michael
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/04/xi-idoc-bundling--the-trick-with-the-occurance-change
Question is...
When I import the Idoc as external definition then I need to add it into a message interface because it cannot be used
like original Idoc which is used as message interface?
Thank you in advance !
Best regards
Dirk

When I import the Idoc as external definition then I need to add it into a message interface because it cannot be used
like original Idoc which is used as message interface?
You dont have to use it in Message interface....the standard IDOC can be used in the Interface Mapping Directly....even Michal mentioned the same in the blog Step 6....in case you missed it.

Idoc - External Definitions Error

Hi,
I had to change the occurences of an exisiting idoc. I had imported the xsd,changed the occurrences and reloaded it using WSDL structure.
When i load the external definition in the mapping structure, it is giving me the following error.
Object External Message Z_INVOICE02_MULTI | INVOIC.INVOIC02.ZINVOIC02 | urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages not found
Please note that when i had imported the xsd, i had removed the target namespace.

Hi Sai,
i need to add an additional field to the existing IDOC structure
Is there any specific reason for usign IDOC as external definition (are you changing the occurance of IDOC)?
what is your sender and receiver system?
Are you expecting the value for this addition field to be populated by sap along with the rest of IDOC data? if yes then ,get a custom IDOC created in SAP with the required field.
Or if you want to populate this additional field in PI usign any logic (assuming you are sending to any non sap system), then you can create a new ED for the targert , just export
the ED to desktop , open with any xml editor (xml spy or microsoft visual studio 2005) and navigate to the portion of xsd which you want to edit add the field -> reimport in PI and use it as your target strucuture.You cannot edit ED directly in ESR.

Steps of EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system

Hi Experts,
Can you provide me Steps to configure EDI is used to transfer IDOC from R3 system to non sap system?
Full points will be assigned.
Thanks in advance!
Sapna

Hello,
         The EDI Configuration required to be done for Transfering IDoc to non SAP System is.
1. First of all, we need to identify the Transaction Data which is required to be Transfered to external System.(Ex: Sales Order Data or Shipment Data or Delivery Related Data).
2. Secondly, Identify the IDoc Type & Message Type. IDoc Type can be found in Transaction WE30 & Message Type Can be explored in Transaction WE81.
3. After that, assign the IDoc Type to Message Type in WE82.
4. Identify the Selection Program (Outbound) which is generally a Function Module in the Form of IDOC_OUTPUT_<Message Type>. Example, if the Message Type is ORDERS, the FM will be IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS.
5. Assign the Function Module to a Process Code in WE41 (Process Code for Outbound).
6. Configure Port Definitions in WE21 for which the RFC destinations are to be maintained in Transaction SM59.
7. Maintain Partner Profiles for the Outbound Message Processing in WE20.
8. Last, but not the Least, we need to Focus Mainly on Message Control Configuration which is nothing but maintaining the Output Type for the Outbound IDoc to be Triggered for the Sales Order Application or Delivery Application.
   i. In Message Control Configuration, we'll maintain
      a. Condition Tables
      b. Access Sequences
      c. Output Types
   ii. To Create the above elements, we can go to SPRO Transaction and do the same depending on the Application Area such as Sales / Shipping / Logistics Execution etc.
   iii. For Output Types & Access Sequences, we can go to the Transaction NACE or VK01 in which we'll maintain the Output Types / Access Sequences & Condition Records.
   Please note that all the above steps may not be needed if we are using some of the Standard Elements provided by SAP such as Message Type, Process Code, IDoc Type & Selection Program as many of the Standard SAP Applications have their own Elements for different Application Areas.
   For example, if you want to send an Order Confirmation IDoc when the Sales Order is saved, you can use the Message Type ORDRSP, IDoc Type ORDERS05 & Selection Program as IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP.
   However, Message Control Configuration is the Key Factor and is required for all the Applications as per the Customer's / Client's Requirements.
Hope the above procedure was clear.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I am using Windows 8.1
I have an External Hard Disk i have partitioned it to 4 parts.
One drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure while listening Music from that drive few days ago.
Now it shows "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)".
I tried all the procedures provided here like
chkdsk /f, diskpart, rescan etc
but no result :( (i mean all processes failed. They could not detect the drive).
Please help me to get those data, pictures and project files.
thank you

How do I use time machine to backup to an external hard drive plugged into my airport extreme

How do I use time machine to backup to an external hard drive plugged into my airport extreme? I used to be able to but now time machine will not recognize my hard drive to select as a backup when plugged into my airport extreme. I'm not sure what happened or changed. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

First thing to do is go to the Pondini tips page, then follow the link to his full TM site for all the details.

Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule. If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

In addition to the obvious feature of the backup, can I indeed also use the TC as a NAS drive to access from remote locations (example from the office)?
I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
Has anyone used this TC as such?
Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues. I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages. I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean. In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic. Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.

How to remove namespaces in mapping when using External Definition

Hi,
I read in the blog (/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/12/05/how-to-remove-namespaces-in-mapping--xi) that you are able to remove namespaces in mapping by deleting the value from XML Namespace under the Message Type. However, is it possible to do this when you are using External Definition (xsd) ? The blog only describe how to do this if you define a Data Type.

Hi ,
No ..it is not possible to remove the namespace once you imported into IR of external defintion.You can remove your namesapce from external definition before importing into IR.
