For the same requirement you need to follow the below steps:

1) First deploye the Std seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI

2) If you are using the AS2 adapter then you have to install the AS2 server on XI server.

3) Once you install the std seeburger on SAP XI server you will see the AS2,X400,OFTPS,VAN adapter on XI ID.

5) You need to call the std mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI.

If you wanted to know more about seebuger and the configuration then refer the below breif into about seeburger and the reply to many of my threads.

Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.

The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.

Supported EDI formats include:

• ANSI

• EDIFACT

• INHOUSE

• IDOC

• XML Schema

• XML DTD

• CSV

• Delimited Data

• positional data

• SWIFT

• EANCOM

and many more.

See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

Refer this forum which is replied by me which talka about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:

could you please let me know the difference

of uind sts seeburger adapter ,AS2 adapter or BIC tool

i wanted to use File adapter on the sender side and

idoc on the receiver side

how do i merge the file adapter with seeburger?

Thanks in advance

Hi Kittu,

As you have read the brief intro about Seeburger that it is the third party adapter which is used along with Xi so B2B scenarios where your data will be flowing over the WAN or Coming from mailbox.

Seeburger has two things

1) BIC which is the client based tool provided by seeburger which is has the standard mapping program which does the conversion of EDI-XML and XML-EDI it supports many data types like INHOUSE,CSV, TRADACOM etc. So the std mappinf provided by seeburger has to be deploye first on XI and then used in adapter module tab for conversion.

2) The message can be received and send through different adapters like AS2,X400,OFTPS etc.

If you wanted to use the file adapter then you can use the file adapter but this is used only for testing purpose, just read my AS2 threads which specify the module to be used in adapter.

Let me ask you fe questions:

1) Do you have BIC tool with u?

2) Do you have std mapping with you and deployed on XI

Refer this forum which is replied by me which talka about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:

Do let me know if u need further information.

Hi,

As u r sending EDI,so u have to configure modules inside the file adapter on ur sender side so that XI can understand EDI format.Modules configured inside the file adapter will convert EDI to XML which is understandable by XI and den u can continue to send IDoc to R/3

For converting u will be using localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean module inside the file adapter.

u also have to mention the details in module configuration tab.

Here u will be using standard Seeburger mappings or custom mappins that are made with Seeburger BIC mapping designer which will convert ur EDI format to XML format to make it understandable for XI.

Ask if u still have doubts about anything.

Thanks,

Anoop

I need to propose a solution to my client they have purchased EDi but i really dont know iff they have BIC tool and std mapping i guess they would be having those

could you please explain me in a flow chart wise

flow of the data from EDi to SAp r/3 using seeburger

you said data is coming from either WAn or mail box what does they,are they components of EDI

Thanks a lot for your kind cooperation

Hi Kittu,

How the aprroach should be

1) First understand the client landscape the different messages that will be flow through XI

2) What different EDI messages are used by client and what is the EDI file strucutre.

3) How the data going to come to XI through WAN or mailbox.

Now For implementing the same:

1) You first check with you client whether they have bought the Seeburger license. It is must if its B2B scenario.

2) Data flow will be through WAN or Mailbox so will your cleint have WAn set up and has WAn number for every partners which will send the EDI file.

Coming to your questions:

flow of the data from EDi to SAp r/3 using seeburger:

1) Data will be coming thorugh WAN or mailbox.

2) If its coming through WAN then every WAN provider will give the partner which is sending the data a partner number for indentification.

3) In your AS2 channel you need to configure the party and for that party you need to give the WAN number which is proivded for that partner. So it will run that configuration whenever that partner send the data.

4) In the adapter you have to give the mapping program name which does the conversion of EDI-XML and XML-EDI.

5) Once you XML is generated then it will be used in MM

6) At the receiver if its IDOC adapter then IDOC adapter will post the IDOC to R3 system.

you said data is coming from either WAn or mail box what does they,are they components of EDI

WAN and Mailbox are not component of EDI they are the provided through which your data will flow over the network.

Thnx

So in this case is AS2 sufficient

we dont need any sender file adapter right?

Hi,

it depends on how your data is coming to Xi is it coming though WAN or Mailbox?

If you want to test the scenario then you can go for File channel and test the end to end scenario by putting the EDI file on directory.

Thnx

Chirag
