Hi All;

I am new to xMII .I want to send data from R/3 system to xMII and represent the data in a dashboard.

I have configured the connection from R/3 system to xMII system and am able to send the IDocs successfully.

I want to know that what needs to be done in xMII now(what action needs to be added in the logical editor) to show the data in a graph in xMII.

See this <a href="http://www.esnips.com/web/SomFolder">Guided Docs with a Sample</a>. This will help u to get a basic understanding on usage of Action Blocks in Logic Editor (BLS)

Hi Som;

I have already implemented a connection to R/3 system using a BAPI call as given in your blog.

Now i want to send a IDoc from R/3 system to xmii and show the data in a dashboard.

Did u hv read the doc completely??!! <b>Read <u>Step 8</u> in the doc given</b>

There is actions in the BLS which is needed to send and show the Data from R/3 system in the output (Read about Transaction Output Parameter).

<b>sending iDocs</b> is NOT for retrieving data from R/3 and showing those in the output. Instead IDoc listeners are about to receive notifications of iDocs from SAP servers, download the IDoc, and enter a user-defined directory based on the message type of the documents received.

Hope u understand

First of all, did u hv read this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3861e693-0e01-0010-e791-9b44d2693e6c">Document</a> for ur help/understanding?!

If not, then read.

If yes, then strange! Then simple explanations for IDoc are as follows

<b>iDoc stands for intermediate document, that is a standard data structure designed by SAP for electronic data interchange.

SAP R3 can generate iDocs, for asynchronous mode of data transfer to requesting work stations. BAPI is the synchronous mode of communicating to R3

xMII can listen to iDocs sent by R3. Configure iDoc Listeners under data services with appropriate Server properties, Client properties and routing rules.

Once this is done you can find iDocs being saved in your server (default location : <Installation Drive>:/Lighthammer/JCO/Output/ ) after you execute a transaction that generates them.

</b>

<i>You need to create distribution model for message type to send IDoc to xMII as xMII doesn't cache the metadata of the IDoc and requests it everytime it receives an IDoc message. If you logical system, partner profile and RFC destination are ready along with the xMII IDoc listener setup you can try sending IDoc to xMII.
