Model view for inbound IDOC in ALE Config

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

here i am working on the scenario of File to IDOC.. for posting the idoc s (INBOUND IDOC)to ECC from XI we need to Configure the ALE.

but while configuring the ALE we need to create the model view where we need to provide Sender system , receiver system and message type. but there in XI we are not having any message types saved .... so my here my question is how to create a model view in XI with a message type we need .

As i heard that when ever we create this model view that system automatically becomes the sender ... please help me out in this issue.

Hi Ramana,

Create a Distribution Model

A distribution model models a distributed environment in which you specify messages

Exchanged between sending and receiving systems. You must create the model on the system that will be the model owner. This model owner is responsible for maintaining the model and distributing it to various systems. In our case, we assume that there are only two systems.

1. SAP transaction code: BD64 – Type /nbd64 in the SAP input window and press the

Enter key.

2. Notice that the Create model view push button is gray. This means that the function is

disabled.

3. Click the Distributional Model pull-down menu.

4. Select Switch processing mode to enable the Create model view function.

5. Click Create model view.

6. Fill in the Short text field.

7. Enter a meaningful Technical name.

8. Keep the Start date and the End date unchanged. The SAP system will prompt the

current date as the Start date. It will also prompt an end date, which is beyond most of

our lifetimes (December 31, 9999).

9. Click the green check icon to continue.

You will now see a new entry created with the short text you entered on the left side and the technical name on the right side.

10. Highlight the new entry.

11. Click Add message type on the top of the screen.

12. Fill in the information Sender as the SAP LS, Receiver as the LS of the remote system and message Type as MATMAS.

If you expand the new distribution model you will see that a new entry for the

message type MATMAS was created. If you need to support more message types, you need to repeat the Add message type operation for each of the SAP message types you will support.

The message type MATMAS will be supported for the outbound operations. SAP will send the MATMAS message type to remote LS.

If you will support inbound messages, you will need to specify Remote System LS as the sender and SAP LS as the receiver.

After you added all message types you want to support, you need to save your work:

14. Click the save icon (or press Ctrl+S) to save the model you just created.

15. You will see the message “Distribution model has been saved” displayed at the bottom of the SAP screen indicating that your work has been saved.

Thanks,

Satya Kumar.
