Hi Vinny,
As Khan told, business connector is old technolgy and it has almost same functionlities like in XI.
both are mainly used for converts idoc's into xml format....
GOA: Global outline agreemnts mainly used when srm is having multiple backend systems. with reference to GOA , we can create local contracts in backend systems ...

How do we Integratet SAP to Non-SAP Using Business Connector

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP Business Connector !!
and what are the Forms ? for SAP Business Connector Related Postings ??
!! I have a requirement to integrate sap to non-sap with Business Connector !!
We need to Generate the SAP Data In xml Format ? and the Non-sap System can Understand Only XML Formated data.
Is there any way Business Connector Box can Pull the XML file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server. from that How do we Sent XML file to Non-sap. How do we Integrate ??
what transaction code will trigger this event ? I mean is ther any SAP Transaction Code to Integrate Business Connector?
For Eg. like in R/3 SD to FICO and MM Integration.
Please Give your Valuable Suggests..
Thanks .

RFC Error while trying to access function module from business connector

Hi,
I am getting the following RFc exceptions in BC server when we invoke the service pub.sap.client:invoke fail as a flow step in Idoc_Status_Add(this service is calling a function module in sap namely ZYBC_IDOC_STATUS_ADD_FROM_BC which Adds status to Idoc (from Business Connector).But no trace of failures are recorded in sap side
except 1: rfc_failure in BC trace files under monitoring.I need to know the root cause of these errors as the same services have run finely later and IDOCs were also processed successfully without any problem.

What does the RFC trace file and log say? Has there been any dump on the SAP server? Check the logs and transaction st22 in your SAP system to see if the RFC-module has dumped.
My guess is the problem is in the RFC-module, I think you should start looking there.

Forwarding XML/EDI from SAP Business connector to EDI (cloverleaf)

Hello,
We are having issues setting SAP up to work with the business connector and our EDI system - cloverleaf.
For testing, we would like to:
1. Create an idoc in SAP and send it to the Busness Connector.
2. Have the busness connector send the doc via XML to our EDI system cloverleaf.
Currently, I have things setup like so:
SAP/ECC6:
SM59: RFC setup as type T and works fine.
WE20: Partner Type LS:
I have 2 message types setup (in outboard: I have "orders" and in Inbound I have the same).
in WE21: I have a cloverleaf (our EDI system) to run with the RFC destination I setup in SM59.
On the Business connector, I have the following under routing rules:
From SAP to the Business connector:
Sender: 8805
Reciver: 10000000008
Message Type: Orders
ACL Group: none
Package: default
Main Flow Services: wm.PartnerMgr.flows.88605.1000000008:ORDERS
Transport: ALE (R3/IDOC)
SAP destination: RD1 (our sid).
FOR my outgoing to our EDI system cloverleaf:
I am using the sender: * - Not sure if this should be SAP or the BC.
Reciver: * - Our EDI system. our EDI system is listening on port 49001.
Message Type: Orders
Under URL (not sure about this one)
I have http://reg2lxap0725:5555/MessagingSystem/receive/BcAdapter/BC
I am however stummped on how the URL shold look..
Now, when we test the above config... I recive the following results in WE02.
0000000000003024 25 03 Green Light: IDoc Successful Green LS/ /SAPBC ORDERS05 ORDERS Outbox CLOVERLEAF
For some reason, we also have an "inbound" that fails.
0000000000003025 25 56 Red Light: IDoc Has Errors KU/ /0000088605 ORDERS05 ORDERS Inbox SAPRD1
My main question is however around routing...
We are trying to send these to our EDI system which is listening on 49001.
I am not sure how they want us to setup the routing rules to pass this over to the right port..
I have also searched the documentation, and have not found any real step by step guides, so I may be missing a few things..
Any advice to point me to the right direction is greatly appriciated....
Thanks everyone,
Richard

Hello Prateek,
Thank you very much for your answer. The AdapterGuide was really helpfull.
Now the routing rule is associated to the correct Service (that was a the problem). So the rule started to process the XML files from the folder (the XML files disappeared immediately after I corrected the rule).
But now my problem is that on the SAP side there is no inbound IDOCs so it seems the trasmission may failed.
Moreover under "Routing"-->"Transactions" I don't see these entries with the the current date.
Our routing rule is simple: "wildcard" "wildcard" "wildcard" "ALE (R/3 IDOC)"--><OUR SAP SYSTEM>
The SAP connection is working as I can test under "SAP..." menu.
Is there any other way to monitor what had happened with these XML files? I'm sure the BC processed as the files are gone, but there is no IDOC in the destination SAP...
Thanks a lot!

Plugging XSLT / XML processors into Business Connector 4.7

Hi,
I need to use Xalan 2.6.0 and the associated XML parsers
in the Business Connector.
Does anyone know whether any built-in services or
SAP Adapter services would be negatively impacted by
this change? I have found nothing in the documentation.
(Among the reasons I need to do this are that the
processors in package com.inqmy.lib.jaxp do not seem to
be JAXP 1.2 compliant. Also, they neither respect the
encoding-attribute of <xsl:output>, nor allow to override
it from the outside. When generating HTML, this has
created problems for some clients).
In order to use Xalan/Xerces, one needs to set the
variable PREPENDCLASSES in server.bat to contain
the Xalan jars, and change the value of the configuration
variable watt.xslt.jaxp.properties in the server.cnf file.
The value of this variable is the name of a file in normal
Java properties syntax, which contains values for the
relevant System properties:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory
I'm using BC 4.7 SR2, Core Fix 2, JDK 1.3.1_09 under WinXP
At first glance everything seems to work fine (I can
still use recordToDocument), but I'd like to be sure.
And what about BC 4.6?

Making a call to a Business Connector Flow Service from within an ABAP prog

Hello,
I am trying to make a change to one of the flow services within BUsiness COnnector.
The way the system is currently set up is that the flow service is called from within an ABAP program via an RFC call.
A remote FM exists in SAP and this is called by the program and there is a corresponding flo service within Business Connector.
I have basically copied an existing flow service which works fine and made a few minor tweaks. Within SAP, I have copied the remote FM and again made a few minor tweaks.
However, when I run the program, it short dumps at the point whee my remote FM is called with th following message :-
"Unknown Partner and Message Type. Sender: xxxx Receiver: xxxx MsgType: "
I am not a Business Connector expert and I guess I am missing a ste but I'm not sure what it is.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,

E-Filing on Business Connector version 4.8

Hello
We are currently running Business Connector (BC) 4.7 (which is out of support) & need to move to BC 4.8. I have installed this on a new server & now need to get E-filing running. Our database is at R/3 4.7
The only document I can find re: E-Filing makes no mention of BC 4.8 (only BC 4.7) - this is [https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000588865|https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000588865] and is called User Guide e-Filing Incoming Outgoing 3.0 (4.6C & above).pdf and is dated July 2005. My questions are:
1. Can anyone confirm that E-filing is supported under BC 4.8. There must be a support matirx somewhere on the SAP site which explains this but I can't find it.
2. Is there a more up to date document anywhere which explains how to install E-filing on BC 4.8. Or maybe the instructions in the document I have would apply to BC 4.8 as well?
Thanks, Chris
Edited by: Chris Hoggarth on Jun 24, 2010 4:30 PM

I am not sure what you mean by "e-filing GB", but BC 4.8 supports the same functionality as BC 4.7, and adds some new functions. So should be no problem.

Query Related to Business Connector

Hi,
I'm currently working on Business Connector, which is new to me. I am going through the reference documents to understand the working of the same. However, the requirements have started pouring in.
As of now, I have the follwoing requirement.
I've a SAP Function Module say "Z1234" which is RFC enabled. To this FM, all export paramets which are passed are FIELDS, none are table(s).
Now what i require is to fetch this data into Business Connector by writing some code in Business Connector whose FRONT END is JAVA.
Can anyone in here help me to achieve this requirement?
Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

HI,
I think Scenario based is better
1) It's more reasonable to manage your documentation with the business process since they are quite related
2) I suggest that you use the check out /check in functionnality to prevent the modification from multiple users at the same time
3) As the changes happen some time, which means you have to maintain the related document often, it would be a good idea to use the link but not the copy of document
4) In most case, i would insert documents of various types in different tabs like Trainning materials, project documentation, test in SOLAR02
5) What's more, if all your user guides are uploaded to the Trainning material tab, you will be able to use the existant documents to supply the SOLAR_LEARNING_MAP, which in my opinion, simplifies a lot the tranning session of any global-rollout

Problem with Business Connector 4.8

Hi Everybody, first of all I would like to clarify that this is a question about SAP BC and NOT XI, but I did not know wherelse to put this message.
I have installed SAP BC 4.8. Created a new RFC map (SAP BC -> SAP) of a FM called Z_PO_GET_LIST.
Then went to Business Connector DEVELOPER and created an output template, XML type, for the output of the service.
When I test the service from the Business Connector SERVER it works perfect, I get as a result the desired XML with the PO Orders in the same format defined in the template.
When I test it from the Internet Explorer putting in the address bar http://localhost:5555/invoke/test/Z_PO_GET_LIST it also works great, and I get the expected XML as result.
The problem is when I try to cosume the service from an external .net application, I create an HTTP Client with all needed information (server, port, baseurl, etc) and when I send a POST to the service I get an XML with the result but NOT in the expected format (with all "value" tags instead of the tags that I defined in the template) but with this format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Values version="2.0">
<value name="serverName">IDES_SERVER</value>
<value name="$rfcname">Z_PO_GET_LIST</value>
<record name="ZPO_CABEZALES" javaclass="com.wm.util.Table">
<array name="cols" type="value" depth="1">
   <value>CO_DATE</value>
   <value>DOC_CAT</value>
   <value>CREATED_ON</value>
   <value>CREATED_BY</value>
   <value>VENDOR</value>
   <value>NAME1</value>
   <value>CURRENCY</value>
   <value>DOC_DATE</value>
   <value>TARGET_VAL</value>
</array>
<list name="rows">
   <array type="object" depth="1">
    <value>1000</value>
    <value>F</value>
    <value>2002-10-16</value>

   <array type="object" depth="1">
    <value>3000</value>
    <value>F</value>
    <value>2004-05-04</value>
Does anyone please know how can I get the response from the service in the expected format (using the defined template) just in the same way I get it from the "test service" funtionality in the BC Server?
Any clue or help would be really appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian.

Can you post what your expected XML result looks like ? The values structure is an internal structure of how BC represents that information. What types are you passing back as output variables in your service ? A recordlist ? Is it possible that you forgot to call a service step which converts document to string (so that you get the desired XML) ?

Delta between Business Connector 4.8 and 4.7

This seemed like the most logical place to put my post so here it goes..
We are assessing our options for replacing/upgrading existing Business Connector installations that will shortly be out of support (OSS Note 571530).Whilst researching our options I have come across OSS Note 1094412 which describes a new version of 4.8 becoming available in July 2008.
Information on BC4.8 is virtually non-existent on the web - can anyone provide me with details of the delta between 4.7 and 4.8, licensing structure, hardware requirements, support/maintenance strategy and ease of migration from 4.6/4.7 to 4.8?
As an aside it is very interesting that SAP has chosen to provide BC 4.8, presumably to ensure BC can continue to runs on supported O/S' and Java environments, when SAP XI/PI is being touted as the de facto integrator for companies with a significant SAP presence. Maybe customers are not quite as keen to move on/remove their BC instances as SAP would hope...

Hi Daniel,
We have been on this topic for years (some vested interest through product development).
What seems to have happened, from what we can gather, is that Netweaver XI/PI uptake hasn't happened as fast as initially hoped (SAP was looking at an intial end of life of Dec 2004 for BC).
The case is quite simple. BC is free, easy to install and maintain. XI/PI, new product, takes a while to stabilize, much more feature rich, but at the same time more complex and less performing (and did I mention the license cost?).
What we know about BC 4.8 and this is purely based on talking to people and reading about it, we have not seen / tested BC 4.8 ourselves - Mainly a platform upgrade, no significant changes. Most likely free as well (the original contract states that if SAP charges money for BC they have to pay extra to Webmethods / Software AG) accordingly. I would expect to see a few new built-in function and hopefully some hooks into standard SAP monitoring tools.
I think you hit the nail on the head. We have seen customers panic and move to non-Netweaver platforms from BC to be on a supported solution (back when EOL was imminent before 4.8 was released). Why non-Netweaver? Because many customers use non-SAP Integration Products as well and they tend to drift to known solutions instead of trying to manage the risk of migrating to a unfamiliar product.
I would not expect any major changes that would make migration to 4.8 hard. If there would be some major issues then that would signal some significant developments from SAP and that would be a strange thing at this point of the product lifecycle.
End of life for BC 4.8 is in 2012 or thereabouts if I remember correctly, this was part of some note which was released/updated towards the end of last year.
You might want to make some design calls if you continue developing your integration scenarios on BC. The best format to allow for an easy / relatively painfree migration to PI one day is by using BC graphical MAPS where possible, NOT XSL maps as wrongfully indicated in so many previous posts and articles. XSL is the hardest format to migrate to PI even though it might look superficially as a compatible format...

SAP Business Connector certificate problem

We are trying trying to send data from SAP to bank via SAP business connector using bank URL. We have configured the certificates in SAP BC which are authenticated by bank on the basis of private key generated from our server. Now when we trying to post data to bank it is giving below error.
java.lang.RuntimeException: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by TrustDecider
Any idea? Please give me some suggestions to resole this problem.
Thanks and Regards

Normally I do not like to give documentation references, but in this case I think it makes sense. Certificate handling is an ugly and complicated topic, so many things can go wrong. Please check the SAP BC 4.7 Administration Guide, page 103 onwards ("Securing communications with the server"). It explains very well what needs to be done. Make sure you configured everything correctly.

SAP Business Connector MIME Services to SAP XI Transition

Today we are using the built in MIME services in Business Connector (pub.mime) to format a MIME message, and are then using https to post it to an external business partner by placing the data into the "mimeStream".
Is there a way to perform this same functionality in SAP XI?
Thanks

Business Connector Scenario .

Hallo ,
I have been given a scenario, where SRM sends a PO sheet in XML format to BC.I have to map some elements of the XML to the elements of client's application.
They require the xml to be ftp ed to FTP server, from there it's used for application.
My questions:
1) Where can i find the XML file which is sent by BAPI from SRM system.
2) Is just mapping enough ?? and what are the services available for this task.?
3)Service used for FTP and from there how to map to application of client??
Thanks in advance for all ...for your help
Srini

hi,
>>>>1) Where can i find the XML file which is sent by BAPI from SRM system.
did you try with SRM content for business connector ?
>>>>3)Service used for FTP and from there how to map to application of client??
pub.client.ftp:put
>>>>2) Is just mapping enough ?? and what are the services available for this task.?
depends on what your client's application expects
maybe you will need to do some lookups etc <-- you need to find out
