XI and ABAP

Hello all,
I am an abaper . Can somebody tell me the ABAP concept that are used in XI.Also pl tell me if its appropriate to move to XI after having one and half yers of ABAP experience marketwise as compared to BI.Also please tell me what concepts of abap are used in BI.
Thanks.

Hi,
First let me tell u what is XI:
Xi is the middleware tool. u can search ion SDN to get more details.
XI are the component of SAP netweaver.
In XI: It is separated in two parts
1) XI basis (Administration)
Activites are:
1) XI installation
2) Configuration activitie
3) Post installation checks
4) SLD configuration
5) Create Users,
6) Role assignments.
And many more
2) XI Implementation and development.
Under the development you have two parts Integration repository which is desing part which involves small amount of Java knowledge whenever your requirement is not fulfilled by standard SAP XI function.
and integration Configuration:
This is very simple stpes once your design is over.Based on your requirement you have to use the standard adapter provided by SAP for example if file is coming then u will go for File adapter,if IDOC is psoted to R3 then you go for IDOC adapter,communication with remote client u go for SOAP adapter.
NOw coming to ur question moving for ABAP to XI. U do not require to move from ABAP to XI. As a XI resource u need ABAP skills as well.
ABAP skills will be advantage for you.
ABAP knowledge is required in the below scenarios:
1) While dealing with Proxies where u need to send the data from R3 system that time u need to write a select stmt and call the proxy method in roder to send the data from R3 to Legacy similary for reverse case some time u will get the data from legasy system and u need to fill the table in R3 system so that time again ABAP is used.
2) In dealing with RFCs/BAPIs where u r calling ur custom RFCs FM for any validations or taking the response from that RFCs
3) IDOC scenarios where if u r not using the SAP Std IDOCs u r extending the IDOCs where u required abap knoeledge for filling up the extended segments in user exit.

SSO and ABAP Web Services

I am opening this thread on behalf of my colleague Bala regarding SSO and ABAP Web Services.
We have gone through single sign on options and found several options are available within 5.0.
We would like to know the options available for SAP ABAP web services access from a Non-SAP system with user authorization but without Portal/ITS installation.
Also I would like to avoid any hard coding of user id in Non-SAP system .
Could you provide any information.
Thanks,
Bala

We have gone through single sign on options and found several options are available within 5.0.
Tell me what are the several options and what is your Non-SAP system?
without Portal/ITS installation.
ITS is now an integral part of ECC 5.0 system. So would not need a seperate installation, unlike earlier versions.

Hi,
For XSLT mapping, please try to create msg types for sender and recv, import these two into XML Mapforces (This is a software which enables us to do mapping this you can download from altova mapforce site) , do mapping in that mapforce , late click on XSLT icon , one XSLT file will be c reated that file , prepare zip and late come to xi , import under imported archieves,do Interface mapping by selecting the XSLT mapping option, select imported archieve..

Netweaver Data base instances for Java and ABAP

Hello Experts,
Please help me to understand how the two technology stacks of SAP WAS (Java and ABAP) are configured to use underline data base in Netweaver.
Is it manadatory to have two separate data base schemas, one for ABAP applications and other for Java applications in the Netweaver?
If yes..the any idea about what are those schema differences??
- Rajan

Hello Krishna,
Thanks for the reply.
Is there any way I can access these shemas? Are they the same by structure or there are major differences?
My requirement is to build a common schema out of these two and have the data from these two schemas to be consolidated in the new schema.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Users mapping between EP and ABAP system

Hello
I'd like to ask for some guidance in my quest
Current situation looks like this:
I've configured UME in AS Java to work with LDAP as read only data source. Then I've configured SPNego to run SSO - It works, users from MS AD can log into portal.
Now I have application in WD which authorizes via EP/AD - works fine.
And next step is users mapping between AD and ABAP backend (serving some BAPI's for WD app)
I've found a bunch of help pages starting from
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/0b/d82c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
But somehow it's quite complicated to achieve this mapping. I've tried to set RFC destinations logon type to user mapping but without succes.
Can anyone point me to some more clear example or give path to configure this scenario? Is there a way of configuring this with NWA or some XML file editing is required?
Any help will be appreciated.
BTW: whole environment is in version 7.11
Best regards
Maciej

There is no equivalent to SPNEGO on the ABAP side.
If your goal is to propagate the user, then possible options are:
-> Wait for SAML 2.0 or invest now in a SAML 1.0 provider.
-> Use the same kerberos ticket for the EP as what your ABAP system will accept: route = SNC and 3rd party libraries.
-> Issue SAP logon tickets for the ABAP system from the EP, and use these in your WDA.
Another option is to expose the service with saved logon data in the ICF. If the service is just a wrapper for the BAPI, then you can also consider using trusted RFC between the service and the backend, but this might not be acceptable for your service.
I have only done experimental stuff with this and some of the above is not released yet. Also consider the consequences, even if it "does work"...
Cheers,
Julius

1:n Message split and Abap Proxies??

Hello,
Can I not use Message split and Abap Proxy together? My scenario is MDM->File ->XI->Proxy->BI.
I am getting a single file syndicated from MDM and in XI If I use message mapping to do 1:n split in the message mapping, can I use it with Abap Proxies? As per the link below, XI adapter is not present in the list..We are on PI 7.0 SP14. Thank you..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/ed364cf8593eebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Thank you for any suggestion..

Hi Thanujja,
If you see the message from Raj, I dont think we can split the messages for the proxy. This is beacause the splitting of messages take place at the Adapter Level only for the adapters on the Java stack.
As suggested by Guru, you can try splitting the messages in the inbound proxy instead of using a BPM, in that way you can acheive good performance.
Thanks,
Srini

Using XSLT to link XML and ABAP data

Hi Experts,
I am using XSLT to deal with XML and ABAP data.
I using the following statement to convert a Internal Table to XML String:
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE root = lt_sflight RESULT XML l_xml_string.
And I get the XML String:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<ROOT>
<SFLIGHT>
</SFLIGHT>
<SFLIGHT>
</SFLIGHT>
</ROOT>
</asx:values>
</asx:abap>
But What I expected is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>

<asx:values>
<ROOT>

Java Stack and ABAP Stack

Hi Experts,
i am now confused about these two stacks: Java Stack and ABAP Stack.
for IR objects, like DT, MT, SI, MM, SM, Action, Process Integration Scenario
for ID objects, like profile agreements, receiver determination, interface determination,
1. where are these objects stored in? Java or ABAP stack?
and i know Adapter Engine is run on JAVA Stack while Integration Engine is on ABAP Stack.
2. how do they call the objects stored in different stack during processing?

Hi,
1. where are these objects stored in? Java or ABAP stack?
These objects are basically developed on the JAVA stack, when they are activated their runtime version is created on ABAP stack, which you can check in SXI_CACHE transaction.
2. how do they call the objects stored in different stack during processing?
Runtime versions of these objects are responsible for the execution of the interfaces.

Form - Perform and ABAP coding

Hi:
I have a requirement to get vendor address from database and print on the form. I could print only one field only Name1, but not details like Street or country Etc are not getting printed. Even if we pass multiple variables as input and putput variables using perform of form, I think we need to declare only one input as INTTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY and one out put variable as OUTTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY in the ABAP program. In the program I am using Index option like 1, 2 and modifying details of OUTTAB. Is it correct?.
Still I am unable to print complete address on the form.
For this I am unsing Perfom option in the form.
Can you please help in the following:
1) Can I pass one value vendor from form using perform and get back a structure from ABAP program?.
2) I am using following:
         DEFINE &VENDOR_NAME& = ' '
         DEFINE &VENDOR_STREET& = ' '
         PERFORM GET_DATA IN PROGRAM Z_TEST
                   USING &VENDOR_NO&
                   CHANGING &VENDOR_NAME&
                   CHANGING &VENDOR_STREET&
         ENDPERFORM.
For Printing I am using inthe form
                    &VENDOR_NAME&
                    &VENDOR_STREET&
In the ABAP program I am using
FORM GET_DATA TABLES INTTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
                     OUTTAB1 STRUCTURE ITCSY.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    SELECT SINGLE NAME1 STR_SUPPL1
       FROM ADRC
       INTO (V_NAME1,V_STR_SUPPL1)
       WHERE ADDRNUMBER = V_ADRNR.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
*- Name1
      READ TABLE OUTTAB1 INDEX 1.
      MOVE V_NAME1 TO OUTTAB1-VALUE.
      MODIFY OUTTAB1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
*- Street
      READ TABLE OUTTAB1 INDEX 2.
      MOVE V_STR_SUPPL1 TO OUTTAB1-VALUE.
      MODIFY OUTTAB1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDIF.
Can you please check above code and let me know if I am doing mistake anywhere?..like passing variables, printing variables on the form and ABAP sub-routine etc.
Please do not copye again same code what is find in SAP ABAP help.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Rama

      MOVE 'NO NAME' TO OUTTAB1-VALUE.
      MODIFY OUTTAB1 INDEX SY-TABIX.

I am not sure where the mistake can be in the SAP-Form or in the ABAP Subroutine code....

BOR Object and ABAP Class

Hi,
Can anybody say when to use BOR object and Abap class in the task with an example.
Thanks,
Mugundhan

There is no any specific condition or rule that for this purpose you need to use BOR and Class , it depends on your requirement. not only the requirement but also the new techniques to make classes not just as simple way to create objects but when you use classes in the Workflows they are not simple classes but they are BUSINESS CLASSES which makes a lot of difference.
Check the blogs of [Jocelyn Dart|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action%3fpageid=55566]

Workflow and ABAP OO

Hi,
I have read the excellent blogs on Workflow and ABAP OO by Joycelyn Dart (/people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2007/07/16/referencing-bor-objects-in-abap-oo-classes). I have sucessfully created a BO (of type SIBFLPORB) in my class. However, I cannot figure out how to retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO. I have used macros before in workflow programming exists, but there I get the container from a workitem context. I can't find the workitem context in my class. Please provide me with some code samples of how I can retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO.
I am considering passing the workitem id to the method and reading the container via SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER. If this is a good solution, then I see no point in having the BO as an attribute of the classe. Is it a good solution?
Thanks!
Elvez

I am probably missing something obvious here (or we are not even speaking about a same thing), but I still try to clarify my point.
>I could of course just pass the necessary data as parameters to the class
This is the part that I don't really understand. If you already have an instance of a class existing (=there is an object instantiated), which has the BO as an attribute, there shouldn't be any need to change a signature of any method(?). The only thing you need to enhance is the constructor of your class.
Currently you create the BO instance as an attribute in your constructor method (isn't this correct?). Just create the attributes you need from the BO into your class, and "populate" them in your constructor. Or if it is an method that you need, just create a similar method (=you can copy the code) into your class.
This all might be much easier than using the WF macros, which shouldn't be that difficult either - as Jocelyn says:
"You will still need to use BOR macros in your ABAP OO classes if and only if you want to call BOR attributes and methods in your ABAP OO methods.
If you need to do this then make sure you include the BOR macro definitions in your class by putting the special include program <cntn02> in the "Macros" section of your ABAP OO class."
