Scenario: Idoc -> XI -> external system (Idoc)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to send an idoc from an sap 4.6c system to an external system. The external system is supporting idcos with trfc. This scenario is currently working with ALE. Now i have to set XI between these two systems.

My problem is to set up the communication channel in the integration builder (configuration) for the external system. The idoc is waitung in XI to transport. So the step XI-> external system causing problems.

My settings are:

adapter type: idoc

transport protocol: idoc

message protocol: idoc

adapter engine: integration engine

rfc destination: xyz (is working fine)

interface version: sap release 4.0 or higher

port: ??

sap release 46c

My problem is the port. should i set up a port in idx1? But the external system is not an sap system and so i dont have a client.

In XI i have defined a port in transaction we21 (transactional rfc) for the external system with rfc destination xyz. But if i enter that port in communication channel i got error messages.

Thanks for any help.

I found the solution myself.

The port is the port defined within XI to retrieve the master data for idoc converting.
