XML Invoices - XI Port listner set-up

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to do set-up for XML Vendor's invoicing.

I have completed all steps in XI for receiving XML invoices from vendors.

When vendor is trying to post invoices to the our XI port it looks like vendor is not getting respose it means we are not receiving any invoices in XI. Do we need to set-up listeners for XI-port? If yes, how to do that? or Do I need to set-up something else?

Thanks!

Hi Sasi,

It is working now. It was the firewall on the XI Server which was not allowing invoices to post on XI.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Client = 200 is correct and even XIAPPLUSER exist in client 200. I found out that our port has firewall for outsider. Our security guy is working on it to fix it and then we would test it again.

Thanks!

Hi,

Vendor is using HTTP to send messages.

Following URL is used to post messages :

http://nero.corp.bcm.tmc.edu:1080/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=http%3A//bcm.edu/xi/R3&interface=MI...

Thanks!

Hi,

In the URL, client is given as 200. Is this right? if yes, check whether XIAPPLUSER exist in client 200 or not?

I am not sure, whether any RFC destination is required or not? If I am correct, any message enters into XI via /sap/xi/engine?type=entry

Thanks,

Hi Sasi,

Clients means Vendors?

Thanks!

Yes Mrudula. Because generally from webmethods they will use HTTPS to send the data out. Also let me know to which URL they are sending the XML data.

Hi Sasi,

Thanks for your response.

We are using XI adapters. We are receiving XML invoices and sending it to R/3 via IDOC adapter type.

Vendor is using Web methods and unix server to post invoices to XI.

It works fine when I post invoices thro' the "Client Http Adapter tool" for testing purposes but it does not work when vendor is posting the invoices.

Thanks!

Hi,

Check whether your clients are sending the request as HTTP or HTTPS?

Hi,

What Sender Adapter you are using to receive the XML file? Is it a File Adapter or XI Adapter? From which system the XML invoice messages are coming? Only in BusinessConnector we have listening PORT kind of configuration...in XI data in/out is via ADAPTERs...

Thanks,

Sasi
