RFC->XI->FILE

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I try to implement a tRFC-XI-FILE scenario based on this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5398. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

everything works fine with except that the RFC metadata differs in XI from what is been posted by RFC from R3.

the report: ZTC_CATS_EXPORT

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_GET_CATS_HOURS'
    EXPORTING
      test_run          = ld_test
      to_date           = p_dato
    TABLES
      hours             = lt_hours
      bukrs             = lt_bukrs_flat
    EXCEPTIONS
      invalid_parameter = 1
      OTHERS            = 2.

  CALL FUNCTION 'Z_GET_CATS_HOURS' IN BACKGROUND TASK DESTINATION 'XIQCLNT100'
    TABLES
      hours                   = lt_hours
      bukrs                   = lt_bukrs_flat .
  COMMIT WORK.

after executing the report, i can see the rfc date is correct. but in SXMB_MONI is looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <rfc:Z_GET_CATS_HOURS xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
  <ABS_FULLDAY>0</ABS_FULLDAY> 
  <ABS_HOURS>0</ABS_HOURS> 
  <TEST_RUN>1</TEST_RUN> 
  <TO_DATE>2011-01-04</TO_DATE> 
  - <BUKRS>
     - <item>
       <BUKRS>SE21</BUKRS> 
      </item>
  </BUKRS>
- <HOURS>
    - <item>
       <PERNR>00020523</PERNR> 
       <WORKDATE>SE21377</WORKDATE> 
       <BUKRS>ME_K</BUKRS> 
       <AWART /> 
       <CATSHOURS>0</CATSHOURS> 
       <MEINH /> 
       <CATEGORY /> 
     </item>
  </HOURS>

while it should be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <rfc:Z_GET_CATS_HOURS xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
  <ABS_FULLDAY>0</ABS_FULLDAY> 
  <ABS_HOURS>0</ABS_HOURS> 
  <TEST_RUN>1</TEST_RUN> 
  <TO_DATE>2011-01-04</TO_DATE> 
- <BUKRS>
   - <item>
      <BUKRS>SE21</BUKRS> 
     </item>
  </BUKRS>
- <HOURS>
   - <item>
      <PERNR>00020523</PERNR> 
      <WORKDATE>06.05.2010</WORKDATE> 
      <BUKRS>SE21</BUKRS> 
      <AWART>337</AWART>
      <CATSHOURS>20</CATSHOURS> 
      <MEINH>H</MEINH> 
      <CATEGORY>TIME_KEN </CATEGORY>  
     </item>

can anyone tell me what could be the problem here?

thanks

Hello,

If you have changed the RFC structure than I guess you should stop RFC channel first.

Run a dummy test. Re-start the RFC channel and retest the interface.

Possibly the RFC structure is not refreshed at adapter level.

Hello,

The structure looks okay, but to be sure, can you download the payload in moni and view it in IE?

Hope this helps,

Hello

I fixed it by checking if the target system for RFC Destination (XI) was a Unicode or Non-Unicode System. Than changed the setting in MDMP & UNICODE section of the RFC Destination to the same Communication Type as XI's.

thanks a lot anyway for your replies.
