When To Use Inbound and Outbound Interfaces?

I use an Inbound message type when i am receiving some data and outbound message type when i push data out of the XI box??Is this correct..
And how to decide when to use a Inbound and Outbound Interface?

Hi Barik,
<b>I use an Inbound message type when i am receiving some data and outbound message type when i push data out of the XI box??Is this correct..</b>
WRONG!!!
outbound message->XI->Inbound message...
(sender system)->XI->(reciever system)
remeber: when u r sending some data to XI u send it using outbound interface.
and when u r sending some data from Xi to other system u use inbound interface...
Hope ur doubt is clear!!

How to do an inbound and outbound interfacing using UTL_FILE ?

dear members,
How can we do interfacing from a legacy system to oracle and vice versa using the UTL_FILE package. I mean how to do an INBOUND and OUTBOUND interfacing using utl_file.

bad/
done/
out/

bad/
done/
I would start by ftping / putting the file in in/file/ folder, once ftp has completed move it to complete/ folder and process the file. If errorrs are generated move the file over to bad folder. If completed successfully move over to done folder.
Having said that you would use UTL_FILE_DIR init parameter to set your directory.
ALTER SYSTEM SET UTL_FILE_DIR='directory1','directory2' scope=spfile;
Then you would use the regular utl_file packages to read / write to the files.
UTL_FILE.FOPEN and so on.

Hi Sandeep,
I do not know if I got your question correct.
Here is my understanding of it, pls correct me if I am wrong:
You want to read from and write to the OS from inside the DB? Right?
There are differnt waysa to do so, depanding on your Oracle version:
1. you can use the initialization parameter UTL_FILE_DIR to specify a directory on OS where you can read from and write to through the package UTL_FILE.
2. You can use a directory object in the DB to manage read write access to the OS. This is also usable with the package UTL_FILE as location where to read from and write to.
=> CREATE DIRECTORY my_dir AS '/home/oracle/my_directory';
GRANT read , write ON DIRECTORY my_dir TO scott;
SELECT * FROM dba_directories;
You need CREATE ANY DIRECTORY system privilege for this.
You can use directory objects also for external tables.
With these you can read from flat files in teh directory on OS with a select statement as if it were a table inside the DB.
Does this go into the direction you were thinking of?
Hope it helps for the first.

Lutz

Why do we use inbound and outbound plugs in abap webdynpro?

hi all,
why do we use inbound and outbound plugs in abap webdynpro?
Thanks

Actually we have 2 types of plugs
1.View plugs
2.Window plugs/Interface Plugs
plugs are for navigating one view to the other and also you can pass the parameters along with the plugs.
Outbound plug is to navigate from one view to other view,also we can pass parameters along with the plug.
Inbound plug is like event handler/receiver of the outbound plug.
Using window plugs we can call other Web Dynpro applications.for more information check this link.

Can CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI be used inbound and outbound?

Hello gurus, I have implemented a middleware solution that replicates fields from CRM to R/3 using CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI and that seems to work well.
Currently however I am struggling a bit trying to replicate data from R/3 to CRM and I was wondering if it is possible to use CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI both in the inbound and in the outbound direction?
The alternative which I am currently working on involving CRM0_200 on the R/3 side and SMOUTIL3 on the CRM side is not really working the way I had hoped for.
Best regards,
Anders

Hi Anders,
As per the BADI documentation it has been mentioned its possible. Please refer to CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI documentation where it has been illustrated with an example.

Including Inbound and Outbound Interfaces to Business System

Hello
Iam new to SAP XI, but have expierence in webMethods EAI Tool.
Iam developing a sample interface to pick and put a file in SAPXI itself and for this have created the Interface(data type,mesg typ , mesg inetface , mappin and interface) in Repository.
Now to pick and put file what setting should have to do in Directory.
I have added a Business Service, but it is not listing the Component which was created by me from SLD (only standard component versions which came along with SAPXI are listed). Because of this the interface (inbound and outboound) which was created in my component is not listed.
Can any one help me with this.
Also can you suggest an devleopment doc to refer.
Thanks
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Check out this thread..
Inconsistence Adapter Framework
No entry for adapter engine in CPACache
Also check OSS Note : 764176 - Error in XI due to inconsistent SLD contents
This note provides a lot of information, but may not be enough. Carry out the following checks:
check that the CPACache works ok
check that sxi_cache works ok
check that sxi_cache->goto-->AE Cache shows an entry for the adapter engine
check the roles for the service users, especially xidiruser

Unit test plan for inbound and outbound interfaces

I am trying to create a UNIT TEST PLAN for an interface. In this interface a flat file in IDOC format is picked up from the application server and processed using EDI_DATA_INCOMING for the relevant posting ( example : Sales order creation from a PO IDOC). IF the file is not in IDOC format then it is reformatted to the IDOC format manually.
In second scenario(outbound), after sales order creation or billing document creation, IDOC is created which is read and a custom flat file is created and sent to a middleware.
PLease suggest a unit test plan for these kind of scenarios or send a sample UTP if possible.

PS: points will be awarded to helpful answers.

Unfortunately this isn't possible, the esa has only one routing table. You'll have to add specific routes for your internal networks.
I usually avoid two-armed setups because of this and it gets even worse if you want to use virtual gateways (traffic gets sent via the internal interface with an IP from the external interface)

To Monitor inbound and outbound messages for ECC 6.0 business system

Hi Guys,
I am working on ABAP proxy. I want to monitor the flow of Inbound and Outbound messages for my Business system (ECC 6.0).
XI server is on a different system.
I understand that SXMB_MONI is used for tracking XML messages. What kind of tracking can we do by this transaction in our Business system and the XI system?
And how do I know whether the outbound XML message sent is lying in the Sending Business system or in the XI system?
When I am testing my interface, there is a fault message generated. How do I know whether the fault message is being sent to XI?
Thanks,
James.

James,
Go to SXMB_MONI in your sending system.
Here you will find a message ID fro your Message.
Go to XI, --> SXMB_MONI -->Monitor For Processed XML messages --> Advanced Selection Crieteria and use the Message ID here to see if the Message has hit XI or not.
Likeiwse it can be traced in the target system as well.
The basic point, The messages will have same Message Id on your R3 and on XI.

Gl balance inbound and outbound

Hi sap gurus,
We are having legacy systems that should interact with sap.I need to know the following for the GL balances through inbound and outbound
1.How data will flow parallely into sap.what steps i have to follow to do this.
2.what user exits or idocs or interfaces i have to use.
3.how the GL balances data will trigger into sap.
Plz help.This is most urgent for me.
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijay,
I am assuming that you are asking about inbound and outbound process.
These process comes under SAP Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Outbound process--> When a document is sent from SAP system to any other system (to business partners say bank or vendors).
eg sending a quotation to vendor.
Steps:
1. Application doc is created
2. IDoc is generated
3. IDoc transferred from SAP to the Operating System layer
4. IDoc is converted to EDI standards
5. IDoc transmission to business partners
6. Status report sent to SAP system.
Inbound process is reverse of Outbound process-->When a document is sent from business partner to SAP system.
eg Bank sending account statement.
Steps:
1. EDI transmission received
2. EDI Doc is converted into IDoc
3. IDoc transferred to SAP layer
4. Appication document creation
5. View appliation doc.
ALE (Application Link Enabling) method uses tRFC (Transactional Remote Functional Call) port for communication and refer to same concept mostly.
Hope it helps.

Defining INBOUND and OUTBOUND

Hi Every One,
I have a very small question.
How do we define INBOUND and OUTBOUND?
I got this doubt, when I read some material, sometimes the directions (INBOUND and OUTBOUND) are told as per application systems which participate in message exchange? Sometimes the directions are told as per the XI integratin server.
Which of the 2 methods stated above is correct?
I hope I am clear in what I wanted to convey.
Bye, tschüs, adeu
-Naveen.

Hi NaveenKumar,
You use a message interface to describe a platform-independent or programming-language-independent interface, which you want to use to exchange messages between application components using SAP Exchange Infrastructure. Depending on the communication parameters defined for a message interface, it can either have the task of sending a request (outbound) or receiving a request (inbound).
An outbound interface sends a request message that is only used to make a communication party aware of data sent, without waiting for a response message. In the case of the latter, we also refer to publishing interfaces.
An inbound interface receives a request message that you reply to with a direct response message or whose data you can process in the system without a response.
I guess i have helped you solve your confusion.

Hi Ralf,
Yes, if you put a deny http, it would drop all packets for destination as http port, but be mindful that when you apply an access-list on your inside interface, it automatically activates the deny ip any any right at the bottom, you would be able to see that in the ASDM. So for the users that need be allowed access to the http, needs to be explicitly allowed http access, so your correct configuration would be:
access-list inside_access_in deny tcp host 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 any eq http
access-list inside_access_in permit tcp any any
access-group inside_access_in interface inside
This would block 192.168.1.1 to go to internet, but allow all others.
Second question, i haven't chceked the ASDM, but just remember out of memory, that this service option should be the protocol, whether ip,tcp,udp,esp or gre etc.
Moreover always try to block connections as closed to the source as possible, this would mean, if you want to filter traffic going from inside to outside, that should be done on the inside interface not outside.

Logging inbound and outbound connections through my Linksys router

Hi There,
I have a Linksys wireless router (WRT54G series) that I use to connect to the internet with my cable modem. I would like to be able to configure my home network to log inbound and outbound connections through my router.
My router, which I bought brand new a couple of years ago, provides some very basic logging through its administration interface. I can view a current log of very recent (within the past couple of minutes) inbound and outbound connections/traffic. However, I would like to be able to configure my network to log all inbound and outbound traffic for at least 1 or 2 days and have this log saved somewhere so I can retrieve and review it at a more convenient time. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this with my current Linksys router and would like some help in configuring my system.
Is it possible for me to configure (perhaps with a firmware upgrade or even by replacing my older Linksys router with a newer one) my router to continuously log a day or more's worth of inbound and outbound connections? If this is possible, what changes do I need to implement? Does Linksys offer a wireless router that has more sophisticated logging capabilities? What is the longest log period that I can create with a Linksys router?
If it's not possible to create such a log with my router, then what other components would I need to log this information? I've thought about setting up a Linux server with two network cards installed to act as a gateway between my router and cable modem which will log traffic. Would this be a good strategy to implement logging?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

well...the router's in-built log will only provide basic information about the incoming/outgoing log . So, it will be a good idea to install a separate log viewer .....

Material inward & outward and Inbound and outbound

Dear SAP GUrus,
What is the meaning of
Material Inward,Material Outward, Inbound and outbound.
regards,
babu

Hi,
The inbound process comprises all the steps of an external procurement process{Material Inward}that occur when the goods are received. The process starts when the goods are staged at the vendoru2019s shipping point, and it ends when the ship-to party makes an acquisition posting for the goods. You can use VL31N transaction to create inbound delivery.
The outbound delivery forms the basis for goods issue posting, the data required for goods issue posting{Material Outward} is copied from the outbound delivery into the goods issue document. You can use VL02N/VL10B/VL10C etcu2026 to create outbound delivery. When the outbound delivery is created, the shipping activities, such as picking or delivery scheduling, are initiated, and data that is generated during shipping processing is included in the delivery.

Biju K
