hello all,

   i have a problem where i need to send an idoc from my R/3 system to my xi system process it ans store it in a specific location, but the idoc i am sending is of type "Customer" i.e KU. i am able to find the xml idoc send from the R/3 system in my monitor but it showing a message "service and party not defined". i tried creating a party but failed.

   can any one tell me how to create a party, any naming conventions etc and also how do we configure data in communication channel, identifier tab.

  i am relatively new to xi so if some one could explain me briefly it would be helpful

 

thanks,

Raju N

    A party is needed only in case of a B2B scenario. In your case let me confirm something,

     

    1.have you created the specific RFC destinations and

    ports ?

    2. has the partner profile (outbound) been configured ?

      hello vijaykumar,

         every thing is configured, i am able to see the idoc in my monitor. but the problem is, it is not able to find the exact service and party. but i have doubt regarding the configuration thats to be made on xi system. that is in ID1 and ID2, what the receiver partner type should be as the sender type is KU etc.  

       

      thanks,

        Hi,

         

        >>>>doubt regarding the configuration thats to be made on xi system. that is in ID1 and ID2

         

        nothing needs to be done in idx1 nor idx2

         

        just check Shabarish's weblog from my response

        and you'll be a ble to define party properly

          as per the weblog ... if u actually are looking to configure a party then in your case it woudl be ALE#KU.

           

          But what i wonder is why you need a party here. Mostly a party is needed if you are interacting to a different business (B2B). If all you need is to sent in a Idoc to XI say (IDOC to File scenario or something similar) i am not sure if u need to create a party.

           

          Mike, what do you think ?

            hi Shabarish

             

            yes you <b>need</b> a party if you want to

            use something other then "LS"

             

            do you know any other way to specify identifiers in

            any other place then with a party object?

            I checked the business systems to make sure

            and I don't think there's any other way

            then as shown in your weblog

             

            Regards,

              hello michal,

                  

                   your views helped me a lot but, what we are doing is sending a order respone from r/3-XI-xml file. For example we are sending conformations for partner 1012(soldto) only, for other partner we are not sending any response.

                 We have given the partner type as KU which we have to do in our scenario. so if we give the type as KU we need to definetly need a party as you said.

                  we can even find the send idoc XML in our monitor but the process in not succusful we are getting the following error message "service and party not defined". what i feel is there is definetly a problem with the party. we have defined party and under the party under bussiness system we have used the services, is it ok or we need to define it under bussiness services.

                   

                      and also two other concerns are while creating party how exactly do we need to give the identifiers. and also the identifier tab under communication channel which we define.

                  if you can send me any documents my id is : kittu1234@yahoo.com

               

              thanks,

    Hi,

     

    have a look at this weblog to understand the party object

    /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/09/08/b2b-and-the-hype-about-the-party

     

    you need to have ALE#KU
