CATSDB CUSTOM IDOC TRANSFERMATION BETWEEN 2 DIFFERENT APPLICATION SERVERS

For this scenario Client 800 of application server SAPADM is the Sender and client 800 of application server SAP-REMOTE is the Receiver

1. Creating Logical Systems

o Login using 800 client

o Go to T. Code SALE

o Expand Sending and Receiving Systems

o Expand Logical Systems

o Click on Define Logical System

o Click on New Entries

o Create CATSSENDER, ECC Logical Systems

o Save and come back

o Assign the CATSSENDER Logical System to client 800 of Application Server SAPADMAssign the ECC Logical System to client 800 of Application Server SAP-REMOTE

2. Creating the RFCs

o Go to T. Code SM59

o Expand R/3 Connections

o Enter RFC Name as CATSSENDER

o Connection Type as 3

o Language as EN

o Client as 800

o User as SAPUSER

o Password as YESV13

o Target host as SAPADM

o Click on Remote logon button to test the RFC

o Enter RFC Name as ECC

o Connection Type as 3

o Language as EN

Now Login in Receiver 800 client

- Go to T. Code WE05 & Execute

- You can see the status record in left side window

- If the status no is 53 and color is green, it means the IDOC is posted to Application successfully.

- You can see the Log Information by double clicking on the status record in right side window.

- Now in left side window, you can see the Control Record, Data Record & Status Record of the IDOC

- Now go to T. Code SE16

- Give the table name CATSDB & press F7

hi Nagesh,

Thank you for your response. Before I could start of with this, I would like to tell my requirement for creating this IDoc.

I want to actually create an IDocs which will contain data for the following fields.

1. One IDoc is for Maintenance Request. The fields of this are

Problem

RequestedCompletionDate

RequestedPriority

Requestor

Status

Reviewer

SubmissionDate

PublishedDate

MaintenanceWorkOrderID

EquipmentID

Any

2. Another IDoc is for Maintenance Response. The fields of this are

Cause

Correction

ActualStartTime

ActualFinishTime

Status

Status Time

PublishedDate

Consumable

ResponsiblePerson

MaintenanceWorkOrderID

Any

Is it possible for me to do this using the procedure that you have given?

Also it would be helpful if you can tell me if there is an IDoc available with the fields that I have mentioned above.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Sowmiya.M

Re: Creating an IDoc

Former Member — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 10:55:23 GMT

Steps:

1) Create segment (WE31)

2) Create IDOC Types (WE30)

3) Create message type (WE81)

4) Link message type with basic type (WE82)

5) Create FM

In the FM all the attributes should be the same for Inbound or Outbound. Basically you can get an example from the std FM eg: Inbound - IDOC_INPUT_DELVRY

Outbound - IDOC_OUTPUT_SHPMNT.

6) Create Process Code (Inbound - WE41/ Outbound - WE42)

IMPORTANT: Before you key in the FM, you are required to add the FM in this table V_TBD51.

7) Link FM with Basic Type

For testing go to WE19.

Here are some of the std program that you can use for IDOC:

1) RSNAST00 - Issuing Output type

2) RBDINPUT - Processing Inbound idocs

3) RBDAPP01 - Processing Idocs that already processed before

4) RBDSEMAT- Stand alone program to generate IDocs (Send Material)

5) RBDMIDOC - Outbound triggered from change pointer

6) RSEINB00 - Convert file to IDOC in status 64

paruchuri_nagesh — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 11:07:37 GMT

hi sowmiya

first of all analyse ur requirement

u can see all idoc types and message types in tables EDMSG &EDIMSG tables

WE30 is the t code to analyze the idoc type if u find any idoc type similar to ur requirement

u can create u r segment( nothing but group of fields) tcode is we31 add this segment to idoc type using idoc editor WE30

go acordingly things i have specified in previous reply

let me know if u have any queries.

Hi Dawood,

Thank you for your help it was very helpful and I am on the way in the creation of IDoc. Will definitely reward.

I have completed the following steps

1) Create segment (WE31)

2) Create IDOC Types (WE30)

3) Create message type (WE81)

4) Link message type with basic type (WE82)

Now am gonna start with the function module creation. Can you please explain this more elaborately. Can I just make a copy of the outbound FM IDOC_OUTPUT_SHPMNT which you mentioned. Or can you give a sample code which can be more helpful. It would be more helpful if you guide me through the following steps also.

Thanks,

Sowmiya.M

Re: Creating an IDoc

Former Member — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 06:25:07 GMT

Hi Sowmiya,

Create a port(we21)

If you are going to use the message control method to trigger idocs then create the "function module" for creating the idoc and associate the function module to an outbound process code

Otherwise create the "function module" or "stand alone program" which will create the idoc

Create a partner profile(we20) with the necessary information in the outbound parameters for the partner you want to exchange the idoc with.

Trigger the idoc.

Note:

If using message control make a copy of any of the standard function modules that are named “IDOC_OUTPUT*”, where * is _<msgtyp>. Follow this naming convention.

Select the Fm according to your requirement.

If creating a stand alone program/FM without message control then FM ‘MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE’ should be called for creating the idoc after populating the control record and the data records.

Triggering the Idoc:

Not through message control

Either run the stand program

Trigger the function module(using a BTE is a good option)

Triggering the idoc through message control

Create/change the application data. Eg.Change Purchase Order Created using transaction ME22n for the Vendor to which partner profile has been created.

Goto “Messages” , add the new “Message Type” to the list and Save the document.

An IDOC will be created and will be dispatched to PORT mentioned.(either immediately or when RSEOUT00 is run depending on the output mode).

Check the status of IDOC (WE02/WE05):

The IDOC status can checked using transaction WE02/WE05

If the status is ’03’ , it implies that IDOC is passed to Port.
