hi,

Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.

These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.

Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.

The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:

1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)

2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.

3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.

4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI

5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.

The SEEBURGER ADAPTER has the following modules :

CLASSIFIER : This module classifies the message type (for eg: EDIFACT, ANSIX12 etc)

CONVERTER : This will convert the message from EDI to XML format and viceversa.

SPLITTER: THE Splitter will split the required segments within the same envelope.

HOpe this clears your doubts

HI

Main EDI Adapter for netweaver is SEEBURGER AS2 Adapter.

Brief about seeburger:

Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.

The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.

Supported EDI formats include:

u2022 ANSI

u2022 EDIFACT

u2022 INHOUSE

u2022 IDOC

u2022 XML Schema

u2022 XML DTD

u2022 CSV

u2022 Delimited Data

u2022 positional data

u2022 SWIFT

u2022 EANCOM

and many more.

See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

Seeburger provide following functionality.

1) It has std XSD available which we just need to import into External definition

2) It has std mappings for all the message type which converts EDI to XML and XML to EDI format.

3) Provides different adaters

4) BIC tool

5) Many adapter modules.

For implementing seeburger you need to follow the below steps:

1) First deploy the Std seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI

2) If you are using the AS2 adapter then you have to install the AS2 server on XI server.

3) Once you install the std seeburger on SAP XI server you will see the AS2,X400,OFTPS,VAN adapter on XI ID.

5) You need to call the std mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI.

Flow of the data from EDi to SAp r/3 using seeburger:

1) Data will be coming thorugh WAN or mailbox.

2) If its coming through WAN then every WAN provider will give the partner which is sending the data a partner number for indentification.

3) In your AS2 channel you need to configure the party and for that party you need to give the WAN number which is proivded for that partner. So it will run that configuration whenever that partner send the data.

4) In the adapter you have to give the mapping program name which does the conversion of EDI-XML and XML-EDI.

5) Once you XML is generated then it will be used in MM

6) At the receiver if its IDOC adapter then IDOC adapter will post the IDOC to R3 system.

Refer this forum which is replied by me which talk about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:

Hi,

Seeburgar is a tool developed in java and it is used to convert E2X(Edi to Xml) and X2E. It supports all types of EDI format like ANSI X12, EDIFACT and all signals like

810,850,860,--etc. Its having different modules bic,splitter,classfier.

Differnt mappings you have to create based on version, direction for one signal.

Thanks,

Ususally Seeburger has 3 level of service:

1. basic - License distributed by SAP

2. Seeburger with advanced mapping - License by Seeburger - gives you Mapping templates for EDI mapping as well.
