File to IDoc process steps?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

What are the pipe line steps? means how the file picks up from source and how the file posts to target.

Hi ,

Check these pipe line steps...

1) Receiver Determination: Determines the system that participates in the exchange of the message.

2) Interface Determination: For each receiver determine which interface will should receieve the message.

3) Message Split: If more than one receievers are found, Xi will instantiate new message for each receiver.

4) Message Mapping: Mapping to transform the source message to destination message format.

5) Technical Routing: Bind a specific destination and protocol to the message.

6) Call outbound Adapter: Send the transformed message to the adapter or a proxy.

Hi Gopi,

These are steps involved in your Scenario...

STEPS IN DESIGN

1. Import idoc from the SAP System (SAP02) through imported objects.

2. Create Data Type, Message Type, Message Interface for the Outbound File.

3. Create Message Mapping with file Message and idoc (Matmas04)

5.Create Interface mapping between File Interface and the idoc.

Steps to be followed in Creation of Technical and Business System

Technical System

In SLD, click on technical landscape->New Technical System->WebAS ABAP.

Business System.

1.Goto Business Landscape->New Business System->Name the business system.

2. Choose the technical system that needs to be attached->WebAS ABAP->Technical System Name.

Preconfiguration steps for transfer of data to IDOCS

1.Create a RFC Destination in SM59 of XI Server of type.

2.In transaction IDX1 ,create a port for the client of XI server.

3. The port has to be displayed in the idx2 transaction and we should be able to view the idoc’s which we imported through integration repository.

Steps in Configuration

1. Goto service without party, right click->Assign a business system.

2. Choose the business system to be added.

3. Create a File Sender Service with communication channel for the same.

4. Create an idoc receiver channel under the business system. Mention the RFC Destination and the port created for the same.

5. Mention the logical Name in the Service->Adapter Specific Parameters of both the File Sender Service as well as the business system.

6. Make the Sender Agreement for theFile Sender with communication channel.

7.Create the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination for the business system.

8.Create the Receiver Agreement for the Business system.

TCODES for File>XI>IDoc

SM59-rfc destination on recving side

IDX1-port on recving side

IDX2-load metadata

Bus. service adapter specific Identifiers-->Logical sys name (check this blog:/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/xi-error--unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system )

we05-IDoc status records

BD54-Create Partner Number

We20-Create Partner Profile

and also go thru this blog on

and also these links:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6a/e6194119d8f323e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

In R/3 Side, Partner profiles should be created.

Have a look into this document for the same...

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/877c0d53-0801-0010-3bb0-e38...

And also since the Blog on File to Idoc looks quite complecated... I thought of giving you more info...

You can take a look at this document.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cdded790-0201-0010-6db8-beb...

It is IDOC to IDOC.All you will have to do is ignore the first half of it.

Also, create an XSD of your IDOC , import it as an external definition and use it as the data type for the file.

Apart from that other details like SLD , R3 config etc you can look into the document and the info i have given.

I am sure your comfortable by now with the sender file config...

Also Just go through these links to get an idea on how to configure you file adapter and also to know more on File to IDoc Scenarios...

Hi,

Outbound Communication Channel picks up the file from given path file (using File Adapter).

-->Looks for Outbound Business System (File System)

--> Corresponding Outbound interface mappings

-->Interface mappings

--> Inbound interface and corresponding Interface Mapped

--> Looks for corresponding Inbound Interface of Business System(R/3 System)

--> Communication Channel (in our case IDoc Adapter) of R/3-Business System

-->The IDoc will be available in inbound port of SAP R/3

Sincerely,

Bala

In XI if you are looking into the arch. the pipeline steps are

Receiver Determination -> Interface Determination -> Message Split-> Message Mapping -> Technical Routing -> Call outbound Adapter

In case of a File to IDoc you need to have the following settings done

In XI

SM59 - R3 connection pointing to R3

IDX1 - define the port with the above dest.

In R3

SM59 - R3 connection pointing to XI

WE21 - define the port with the above dest.

WE20 - Partner profile type outbound
