Software component version missing from production Operational mapping

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I've got a invoice.invoic02 idoc from ECC to FILE scenario. We're getting a few odd codepage characters come out of the system (such as upside down question marks)  and i'm trying to test to see if this is ECC / PI / File system.

Anyway, I noticed in my Operational mapping that the software component for the source operation has a strange ID, as per the following image:

When in the QA system the software component comes up with the correct SAP APP software component, as per the image below.

When I double click the strange looking software component version in image 1, it then comes up with the error:

If I leave this without reimporting the definition from the ECC system, will it cause any problems such as the strange codepage characters that are coming out in invoices and po's?

Many thanks,

Hello,

Check this Note: 1883358 - PI Full CPA Cache refresh fails with JavaErrors Tag found in cache update XML

i guess you may have to re import the SWC again in ESR.

Cause

There are incorrect objects in some SAP delivered software components within the ESR

Resolution

1. Open the PI tools page at the URL http://<host>:J2EE-Port>/dir
2. Click Enterpise Services Repository (ESR)
3. Open a software component version (SWCV) such as SAP APPL 6.04
4. Expand the Imported Objects section of the SWCV
   
5. Double click on all objects within the RFC and IDOC section
6. Carry this check out for all imported objects within the SAP delivered SWCV's in the ESR
7. If an object is corrupt it will throw the error 'Tag empty is not permitted as a root element'
   
8. Download the affected SWCV from the service marketplace
9. Re-import these objects once more
10. Carry out the check once more to ensure the error is no longer occurring
