Hi MeeRa,

FILE TO IDOC SCENARIO

Steps to be followed in Creation of Technical and Business System

Technical System

1 In SLD, click on technical landscape->New Technical System->

WebAS ABAP. Following screen appears.

2. Fill in the SID, installation number and database hostname and click next

3.Enter the instance number and the hostname of Central Application Server

5. Next screen opens for additional application server. Mention the XI server host name and instance number and proceed.

6.This step is of high importance because the logical system name must be declared here. Once this technical system creation is done we cannot add a logical name for it later.

So though it is mentioned as optional create a logical name

7.Add the software components required for the technical system being created.

Creation of Business System.

1. Goto Business Landscape->New Business System->Name the business system ( eg SAP02).

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

3. Select the technical system for the business system.

Steps in Design:

1. Import idoc from sap system(sap27) through imported objects.

. 2. Create Data Type for outbound type.

3.Create message type for the Data Types

4.Create the Message interfaces.

5.Map idoc fields to the Message type.

6.Map the Interfaces Crreated

Configuration Scenario

1. Create the RFC Destination in SM59.

2.Create Port in IDX1.

3.Create Logical System in BD54

4.Create A Scenario

5. Select a Business System in Service with out Party

6.Create a Receiver Communication Channel.

7. Create a new Business Service

8. Create a new Communication Channel

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

STEPS IN DESIGN

1. Import idoc from the SAP System through imported objects.

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

3. Create Message Mapping with file Message and idoc

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.

5. The Idoc type( which data is to be written) is mentioned as inbound parameter.

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

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

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

9.Create the Receiver Agreement for the Business system.

Step for Configuration fo IDOC in R/3

SM59-rfc destination

IDX1-port

IDX2-load metadata

we05-IDoc status records

BD54-Create Partner Number

We20-Create Partner Profile

WE19-Testing IDoc Processing

==================================================================

Points to ponder in File to IDOC scenario:

1. You don’t need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.

2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.

3. In this configuration note that you will need a sender agreement for the file.

4. In this configuration note that you will also need a receiver agreement for the IDOC.

hi pooja ,

can u explain wat is useful of IDX2(load meta data) and we19

IDX2 is used to load metadata. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8a/b8b13bb3ace769e10000000a11402f/content.htm

Well its not mandatory but its good practice to do that.

It is useful to do that as per <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/10/11/xi-new-book-mastering-idoc-business-scenarios-with-sap-xi">Mastering IDoc Business Scenarios with SAP XI"</a> by Michal Krawczyk

WE19 is used to test the IDoc using the function module.

Following forum links might help you to understand it better :

which function module given to test the idoc??

Thank you so much Pooja.
