Hi All,
Our scenario is like this ERP -> XI -> File. ERP sends IDoc to XI. I have a couple of questions.
1. In the control part of an IDoc, there's a sender partner number and sender port. What are they used for? As I understand, the partner and port represent the destination of the IDoc instead of the source. Why is there sender port and partner?
2. We need to maintain port using IDX1. Should I set the name of the port to be the same as the sender port of the IDoc?
3. I didn't configure the scenario and the IDoc sender adapter. If the ERP system sends IDoc to XI, can I find it in t-code IDX5?
Best Regards
Jerome
Hi Jerome ,
you might want to check my book:

where I explain (with screenshots and all configuration steps)
how to do R3 IDOC - XI scenarios

Hi Jerome,
1. Sender Partner and Port : The control record should have sender port and partner number. This will be used by the receiver system (i.e., XI system). Because, receiver system should know from which system this IDoc is coming using Sender Partner number. This partner number should be same as Logical system name in Sender Business system which is configured in SLD.
The sender port should be SAP<Sys-id of sender system>
and sender partner number should be <sys-id of sender>CLNT<client number of sender>
2. The port created in IDX1 will be used for importing IDoc's metadata in XI system from R/3. IDoc metadata is needed by IDoc adapter to convert incoming IDoc to IDoc-XML format.
It is mandatory to have same name for Port in IDX1 and sender port of the IDoc's control record.
3. I think the IDoc wont be listed in IDX5 if scenario and IDoc adapter are not configured. IDX5 displays inbound and outbound IDocs in the IDoc adapter.

Hi Jerome,
1. Sender partner no & port are used to identify sender partner's name & port. On sender these info may be irrelevent as sender wants to know only destination but on receiver side sender partner no & port becomes important bcoz this info is important for receiver.
2on XI ports are maintained using IDX1. These port name can be different from sender's port name.
3. Without configuring scenario in XI, you can get the message in SXMB_MONI provided you have defined your sender in SLD of XI otherwise XI will not accept the IDOC & you will get error in ERP in tc SM58.
