Error while sending and IDOC

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a scenario where PI is trying to post an IDOC. But while doing so, we get an error

"Unable to convert the sender service Integration_Server_PIQ001 to an ALE logical system"

Can any body please suggest how to correct this?

Thanks

Hi Kulwant,

Additional point.

How do you configure your partner profile setting at the target? Do you use PI or sender? If you use sender then configuration mentioned in the blog above is enough.

However, if you use PI in the partner profile configuration then you will have to:

1. Make sure that your business system in SLD and Directory has logical system

2. Overwrite Overwriting Logical System Names for Sender in IDoc.

2a. Navigate to the receiver communication component

2b. Switch to the change mode, activate the sender communication component in the Header Mapping section, and select <PI> from the value list.

hi Kulwant,

with what ever description you have provided, I assume your problem is with "Party"

follow these 3 ADDITIONAL steps, see if you get it solved. you will do all the regular steps (like Rec Detmn, Int Det)with your party. But to overcome your issue you need to create something in "Service without party"

In ID -> In "service without party" -> In "Business Service"

1) Create a "Dummy Service" (say Z_xyz), go to adapter specific identifiers , give LS name (say xyz).

2) Now do a header mapping in your Receiver Agreement for "Sender Service" (select your Dummy service), also do header mapping for the "party" (just put a space " " hardcode). This ensures that there is no party, but only a service (as LS).

In your Backend SAP R/3

3) Create a Partner profile, exactly with the same name as your LS given in ID and give appropriate IDOC types and other settings.

Dear Kulwant,

If sender is business service then we have to set the adapter specfic message for that service. Go through the following blog. It will help you more.

Hi Kulwant,

The logical name for the Business system is not present in ID. To Varify it

Open ID -> U r BS->Communication Component-> Adapter Specific Identifiers

here just varify if Logical name exists. If not then you have to maintain that.

Have you transported / distributed your Distribution model to QA system?

Dear Kulwant,

Have you transported ID objects from DEV to QA? If so, the business system should be there in QA SLD and business service should be same or other wise create business system groups in development SLD for DEV and QA and assign the source business system group (DEV) to target business system group (QA). In this case you have to consider the logical system and all.

Please go through the following links. These will help you in this regard.
