Adapter Specific Identifiers

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using a File to XML scenario with BPM (Integration Process); wherein the file is read from a certain directory in our PI box and is written to another directory there. We are working on NW2004s XI(PI). We have created the business system corresponding to our Integration server in ID. The adapter specific identifiers are set automatically. Now, we have defined a business service that takes care of the outbound delivery of the message and the inbound capture of the message. We know that we need to put in the Adapter Specific identifiers in this service, but as this is already configured automatically for the Business system..we can not assign it to the service. <b>Can anyone suggest,what is the way out of this puzzle?</b> I mean, there must be some way whereby the adapter specific identifiers assignment can be overridden.What is it? Any ideas,anyone?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Amitabha,

Hi Amitabha,

Adapter specific Identifiert means "logical System Name", what is only relevant 4 IDoc communication to SAP systems, not for HTTP 2 3rd Party. So you can ignore the entries. You can configure the "logical System Name" at Bus System of SLD or at IB Direcory Service/Adapter specific Identifier.

Hi Udo,

Thanks for the enlightening points. See we have been making a basic mistake. I have awarded you points...but still my question is pertinent as the scenario I described is only half of the story and <b>In practice, we are implementing some File-to-IDoc scenarios; and in that case, Adapter-specific-identifiers are a big deal to handle</b>. Can you throw up some light on that issue? I mean,<b> how to incorporate the adapter-specific-identifiers in the case of XI-to-SAP communication...mapping the xml to IDoc?</b>

Awaiting reply.

Best Regards,

Hi Amitabha,

adapter specific identifier (IB Directory) or Logical System Names (SLD) correspond with partner agreements of SAP systems. Look for Logical System Names in Transaction SALE, look for agreements in WE20. You can customize your XI Business Systems, so that they will be able to work with agreements of R/3. For that reason you ve to give them the right names. If this is not possible (for example you cant give 2 ccBPM the same name), choose any name, fill IDoc element EDI_DC40 in the mapping and use the check boxes from IDoc Adapter (take receiver/sender from payload).
