Hi Experts

I am trying to send a idoc from a SAP system to file system . I have done all configurations and all seem to work fine. I have sent a outbound idoc from the SAP sytem , but i dont find the corresponding data file in the FTP server . If i go to see the XML messages , i see the status of the message as "Processed Successfuly" but there is a question mark tag here which says "Still waiting for acknowledgement" .. Since hours its in the status of awaiting acknowledgement .. so really dont know what i am missing here and why i dont see any file in the FTP server..

Any pointers to resolve this ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Rohan -

Regarding your question:

>>><i>why i dont see any file in the FTP server..</i>

Have you checked the adapter engine message monitor and the adapter monitor for the possible cause of why your message is not reaching the FTP server?

Aside from the acknowledgement status (which is addressed by Michal), a success status in sxmb_moni only tells you that the message has been passed to the adapter engine successfully. The message is likely stuck in the adapter engine since it's not showing up on the FTP server. Check the adapter and adapter engine monitor in RWB.

Just in case:

For the adapter monitor, within RWB, goto Component Monitoring, select your AE, and look for Adapter Monitor button. Then drill down til you find your specific FTP receiver channel for a status and potential problems.

For the adapter engine monitor, within RWB, goto Message Monitoring, select you AE, and look for your messages.

Hi Jin

Thanks for your input . But unfortunately i dont see anything related to my communication channel in the Adapter Monitoring . I am just trying to send an idoc to a FTP server . In SXMB_MONI am still seeing ist successful but with question tag "Still awaiting acknowledgement" .. I referred to note suggested by Michal but that note refers to a report program IDX_NOALE which is used to maintain table IDXNOALE . I tried to maintain the table IDXNOALE , but still its not working .

May be am not maintaining the table IDXNOALE correctly . Any idea or further hints here ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,

As all have said you get that message because it is waiting for an acknowledgement and if you donot need that you need to supress it.

so, <i> tried to maintain the table IDXNOALE , but still its not working .

May be am not maintaining the table IDXNOALE correctly . Any idea or further hints here ?

</i>

I solved a similar thread sometime back, please see my replies to that thread,

The steps are also in the doc:

http://sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how to handle acknowledgments for idoc.pdf

This pdf gets you the steps.

Hi Rohan -

After pushing the Adapter Monitor button, did you expand all the nodes and select the 'File' link? After this, if you really don't see it there, either you have not activated your CC or you have monitoring issues... you should be able to see your CC.

Regarding your IDXNOALE setup:

- port should be the port setup in txn IDX1 (in XI).

- client should be R/3 client

- message type should be ORDERS
