Configurations to receive IDocs in XI

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I'm using PI7.0 SPS10.

I have a scenario IDOC -> XI -> File.

From what I've read in the numerous threads posted before me, the configurations required on XI for such scenario is:

1. SM59

2. IDX1

3. IDX2

For the above scenario, my understanding is I do not need an iDoc Sender adapter, because the IDOC resides on the ABAP stack.

I am able to import the IDOC structure into IR, and create message mappings for the message types.

I have created 2 business systems

BS_NHGDDBS01 : The business system for the corresponding R/3 sender system. This has a TS of type WebAS ABAP - NHGDDBS01.

BS_DEV1_NAUTICUS_OOTS: The business system I created, simply to house the various projects/mappings that I will need. The mappings are housed in a SWCV which i defined.

I created my mappings for IDOC->File, under BS_DEV1_NAUTICUS_OOTS.

I activated the mapping in Integration Directory.

My questions:

1. Am I doing this correctly? I'm puzzled because I did not use the business system BS_NHGDDBS01 at all.

2. With this current setup, can XI receive IDoc from NHGDDBS01? I do not see a configuration mapping the IDoc to the message Interface which I want.

Please help to clear my doubt.

Thanks.

Hi,

>>>>I created my mappings for IDOC->File, under BS_DEV1_NAUTICUS_OOTS.

you cannot do that- you create it under software component not busines system

>>>>I activated the mapping in Integration Directory.

you activate them in repository not directory

for all scenarios with IDOCs and XI:

Yes Michal. My apologies for the typo. To be clear, I created an SWCV - SWCV_DEV1_NAUTICUS_OOTS. In it, there is a product which I created PDT_NAUTICUS_OOTS.

So the mappings are created under SWCV_DEV1_NAUTICUS_OOTS.

Yes I activated them in the Integration directory.

The reason why I mentioned the details of my setup is I'm unsure if I'm doing this right if I want to receive IDocs from an R/3 system.

Hi,

as mentioned in my book if you want to receive IDOCs in XI

you need only:

1. R3 configuration

2. XI configuration:

a) idx1

b) IDOCs signature (downloaded via repository)

c) configuration in directory (with business system that ackts as R3)

Michal,

Can you specify step 2(b) and 2(c) in detail?

In step 2(c), do you mean that the SWCV that contains the mappings must be part included as part of the BS that acts as R3?
