XI Acknowledgement Questions

Before I ask my questions, please note I do have a copy of the "How To Handle Acknowledgements for IDoc" How To Guide. I just need some clarification from the group.
Here are my questions:
1. XI will not send a positve acknowledgement/status to let the sender system know it made it to XI ok, correct?
2. The only status that XI itself will initiate will be if there is a techncial issue with XI, correct? (Granted the Receiver system could send a positive or negative status back to Sender System) I just want to make sure that XI will not send a status back to Sender System that equates to "Triggering EDI subsystem OK" (or something like that)
3. How does the status of an idoc get set to 12 from 03? Does that mean that I always have the program RBDMOIND configured when I am interfacing to XI in order to force the status from 03 to 12?
4. As a norm, are those who are using XI seeing a 12 status on the Sender System IDoc Status?
5. If a techical issue error occurs in XI, what specific error status will be sent back to the Sender System?(if at all) I am looking for an example status number of what to expect.
6. If we are doing SAP R/3 to a partners XI system directly and that partner does not have RBDSTATE configured on their SAP R/3 environment and there is nothing else on their XI system for ALEAUD processing, I am out of luck in determining if the IDoc actually made it to their XI system, correct?
7. The Configure Scenario 2 in the document How To Handle Acknowledgements for IDoc" How To Guide should allow us to determine "did the Idoc get to that Server" correct?
Thanks for any feedback on this,
Ian

File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM - NEW Question

This is in cntinuation of my earlier question:
File Adapter Acknowledgement in BPM
Now I understand that the send step should wait to get the acknowledgement from file adapter.
As I understand This ack may be +ve or -ve.
So my question is how do we test for + ve acknowledgement in the next step / switch?
Thanks,
HImadri

hi,
in condition editor of this switch step you need to choose technical objects
and check it they = true
for sender apps
you can also use Main/MessageClass field
have a look at the bottom of this page to
check their values:

Data Logging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Alarm Acknowledge / General Alarm Questions

Hi All -
I would like to know if anyone can help me with DSC and alarms. I have several shared variables that I have setup with alarms and logging with DSC. I can view them with the Shared Variable Manager, the value, status, alarm state, etc. So, I want to be able to view this info on my Front Panel and acknowledge alarms there - - Is that possible? I put "alarm and event display.vi" on my front panel and it shows when a variable goes to alarm state, but I don't see how to acknowledge the alarm once it enters the alarm state.
Other question, once a variable is in an alarm state, obviously it stays there until it is no longer in alarm, but if you acknowledge it - - what happens? does it stay 'red' color and remain in the alarm list - and what about logging, does the log indicate when the alarm was acknowledged any by whom?
So that is my next question, how do I setup and force a user to 'log-on' to be able to acknowledge alarms?
If anyone could point me at a document / tutorial / example I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

When your VI is running, you can right-click on the alarm & event display control and it will give you the option of acknowledging the alarm. Another option would be to use the Acknowledge Alarm.vi and create your own interface.
Once the alarm is acknowledged, the alarm color will change to magenta and the acknowledgement information will be displayed.
The acknowledgement information - user, time, comment - will be logged if logging alarms is enabled.

BPM Question on Acknowledgment use

Hi all,
   I have a problem in this scenario:
   IDOC--> XI --> BPM (Send message with Acknowledgment to Jdbc Adapter) ---> Update SQL Database.
The process start correctly but when it arrive to Send Step the update database work fine but the process remain in wait for Acknowledgment response but the adapter don't sent to BPM Acknowledgment status.
How can I do to resolve this problem????
Thanks in advance,
       Michele.

Hi Michele,
If the database app is sending back the response to XI, then you have redesign your process to make it synchronous in order to capture the response coming back from the application.
Currently in XI30 BPM you can do this with ASYNC-SYNC Bridge design.

Question: User defined acknowledgement (IDOC to SOAP)

Hello friends,
A very happy new year to all of you!
The flow im working on is like this -
R/3 -> Idoc -> XI -> SOAP adapter -> webservices
I have a requirement of sending an acknowledgement back from XI. But the problem is the acknowledgement has to be of a structure that is specified by the client. I will have to send this acknowledgement through RFC to R/3 where they will update.
q1. Can i access the information about the idoc, like if it has failed in sender channel,or IR or at the mapping etc. They want these info codified into something like 101,102 103 etc with each having specific meanings in terms of Idoc status.
q2. Are these information stored somewhere so that i can access them and map it to the acknowledgement structure?
q3. what are the steps for achieving this?
Looking forward to your help .... Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi,
As suggested by Swarup, "you can go for Fault message type and have the customized structure to give the details."
In addition, I would suggest to use FixedValue Table in mapping to maintain your entries (101,102, etc) and their respective meanings or you can use Value Mapping (maintain your entries in Integration Directory. For more info search SDN).

Sarvesh

Question on Transport level acknowledgment

Hi all,
I use an acknowledgment at transport level in a send step of a BPM, to send an IDoc to a R/3 system.
I have seen that when PI sends a lot of IDocs to R/3 from multiple BPMs in a short time, transport acknowledgments are not sent when R/3 receives one IDoc, but they are all sent in the same moment, after a few minutes.
Is there a way to change that and immediatly send transport acknowledgment after receiving an IDoc? Because BPMs wait a long time to continue their processes if there are a lot of them executed in the same time.
Thanks for your help,
Greg

Hi Barry,
Thank you for your reply.
In we20, the processing is set to "Trigger Immediately".
Thx,

Logical system name for acknowledgement in BPM

Hi,
I have a szenario:
IDOC --> BPM --> MAIL
Inside BPM I check the message and depending on an xml-element I stop the process or I send the message by mail.
When I stop the process the BPM sends back an acknowledgement and in SXMB_MONI I can see an error of the acknowledgement:
"Sender Test_BPM_IDOC_TO_MAIL kann nicht in ein ALE Logisches System umgeschlüsselt werden" (Sender can not convert in a ALE logical system)
What can I do?
Possible Solution 1:
I can define my BPM "Test_BPM_IDOC_TO_MAIL" as a logical system (including WE20 for ALEAUD).
Possible Solution 2:
I can enter an existing logical system name in the "adapter specific attributes".
BUT it is not use the same logical system name twice (BAD ... or is there a workaround?
Is Solution 1) a common way?
Thanx
Regards
Wolfgang Hummel

Hi,
there are many ways:
some for aleaud are described in my book:

>>>>Is Solution 1) a common way?
no this is not good a good idea
BTW
you can also supress aleaud raport IDX_NOALE

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

Adobe Photoshop Touch Question / Issue

Hello,
I bought Adobe Photoshop Touch some time ago for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I liked it so much. Of all the apps I had for photo editing, this one gave me all I need. I used to own Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my old PC so I wanted something for my tab as well. I was very satisfied by this app until my tab died some time ago. After a pain of service and repairs, the tab worked again but it had a new issue. Anytime I used the device on something more demanding (i.e. playing games ) the tab overheated a lot and the screen started to touch itself very much as, if it was pressed all the time. After some time of struggle with it I decided to wipe it clean and pass it out to a family member who would maybe dedicate more time to fix it.
Last month I bought myself a new device ( Sony Xperia Z ) and I was eager to get all my data on it and apps of course. To my sadness Adobe Photoshop Touch is not compatible with my device now, and it just sits there in my app list doing nothing . I could install only Photoshop Express but it does not give me the full access I had with Touch. I saw that there is another product called Photoshop Touch for smartphones and it seems to be the same as what I had only phone edition.
My problem is that I can not get this new app unless I pay for it and I do not wish to do that because I already paid for the previous edition.
My question is: Can I somehow obtain the Smartphone edition and the previous version ( which apparently is for tablets I suppose ) be removed from my Google Play account. I would purchase the smartphone version but there is no point in having 1 app 2 times.
I would happily like the staff to remove my previous version from my account if they would gave me the smartphone version and I acknowledge that the tab app was more expensive than the smartphone version and Adobe will not refund me the money difference nor are they obligated to give me the smartphone version. I am just asking if it would be possible because I like that app and it's such a shame for it to be in my app list and not be used. Thank you for your time in reading this and no matter what answer I get, I will be ok with it. Have a nice day .

I don't think you'll have much luck. PS Touch for tablets was designed for just tablets; PS Touch for phones was designed for just phones. Touch for phones came out a little later than Touch for tablets. (By several months, if I recall.) On the brighter side, if you ended up buying Touch for phones, you'd be covered no matter which device you had.
Both are very similar in function. I believe the only differences are their UIs; Touch for tablets is landscape-oriented-specific while Touch for phones is portrait-oriented. (Some elements are also placed differently.) I imagine this allows for maximum utilization of screen real estate and element placement.

Questions n general

I have few questions that bothering me, I appreciate if you could answer -
1. I have IDOC-XI-File Scenario.
A. I know how to configure R/3 to send IDOC to XI, and then XI-File configuration. I did not know How to handle acknowledgment to update the status records on sending IDOC in this scenario? I read how-to doc on acknowledgment, it assumes the receiving party is also on R/3 where they configured AUDIT to send response from receiving party. But this case is receiving party is non-SAP Application.
B. If the file IDOC is configured to send Purchase Order collectively, assume it has million records, and records related to same PO are not in SEQ order.
If we define ccBPM Scenario to correlate by PO, does it take one PO and process all records against one PO and starts with another PO? How does it work internally, I am curious on performance point of view.
3. File-XI-R/3(IDOC) Scenario.
If the file has records with different structure, we advised to use module conversion. Even with I do not understand how the mapping enabled with relevant record structure? How does it work? I read how-to guide on this module conversion, it only explained on how to use module conversion part, does not include mapping part
4. When we use trace logging code in java functions (As developer), how to post the system.out steps onto Developer machine for easy debugging? We are forced to use log viewer to point to central logging file?
Thanks in advance.

1. Since I only have one modem, one account, etc I would set the AEX using WDS, right?
Yes
2. I believe I read somewhere that WDS ?halves? the connection speed of ALL devices on the network?
Yes each WDS link cuts the available wireless bandwidth in half.
3. I don't want the AEX on all the time for both power draw reasons and longevity (as well as minimzing any performance impacts from WDS when not in use). Are there any problems with keeping it plugged into a power strip and turning it off when not in use? This is obviously the same as just unplugging it, so I was curious if it "tends not to do well" in those situations or if it could care less.
Shouldn't cause a big problem.
4. AEX as a portable wireless station means I could be in a hotel, plug an ethernet cable into the AEX, configure the AEX to be a base station then I'd have wireless in my room?
Yes. The AirPort Express (AX) doesn't know if it is at home or in a hotel. The setup and operation is the same.

Regarding iMessage: text message acknowledgement

Regarding iMessage: is there a way to acknowledge text messages From lock screen without opening up message? In other words can I somehow let the iPhone know the message is no longer new without opening in messages?

I leave wi-fi enabled 100% of the time, and turning 3G access off does not turn cellular data or internet access off completely. EDGE or GPRS access via your carrier's cellular network is still available. Turning Cellular Data off turns internet access off completely via your carrier's cellular network.
The answer to your question is no.

My company uses Juniper Secure Meeting 7.1.0, and Mozilla has broken it by taking away Java console compatability. When will Mozilla acknowledge the problems they've created for thousands of users, and when will they restore the lost functionality?

Why don't I see any official acknowledgement of this problem?

Hi cwebtech-
According to this answer I found, it may be possible for you to update the max version number for Firefox in order to make it compatible:

PO acknowledgement for SUS vendor in MM-SUS scenario?

Dear Experts,
We have SRM 7.01 system with ECC 6.0 enhpk 5 in our client landscape. We have configured classic scenario with MM-SUS in our landscape. Our client wants to have the PO acknowledgement functionality for all SUS vendors.
I have checked and found that SUS portal have standard functionality to confirm the Purchase Orders from MM system. However, we need to configure the few things from MM side to enable the PO acknowledgement by default.
1. Create a confirmation key for PO acknowledgement in MM spro settings.
2. Assign the confirmation key to the SUS vendors in MM side .
Now, there are two questions in the MM side?
1. How can the client easily identify the SUS vendor from MM side (say XK02 or MK02) to maintain the required confirmation control key in the master data?
2. Along with the confirmation control key, the purchase order item for such vendors should also have default checking of the checkbox 'Acknowledgement Required' to enable the SUS vendor to confirm such PO item. How can we default the checkbox in PO item for SUS vendors?
Thanska nd regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Nikhil/Soumya,
How to proceed with vendor classification to enable the client to easily identify which ECC vendors are SUS vendors to maintain the additional master data settings?
With use of classification, the system will automatically populate the vendor master data with a class say Z_SUS?
Could you please help me how to proceed with the same? is it similar to proceed with material classification?
Actually, the client has over 10,000 suppliers and the client is bringing only 1200 suppliers initially to SUS. I am looking for easier way for the client to identify the SUS vendors from ECC side.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Size: 35.4 MB
Bit Rate: 125 kbps
Date Modified: 8/18/2009 2:15 PM

Video Codec: H.264
C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks
