SAP AIF – Simple Inbound Scenario – Part-2

Part 1,SAP AIF – Simple Inbound Scenario- Part-1, we have completed the basic steps for SAP PI , Here we will be dealing with steps involved in  SAP ECC box . Go to SPROXY, generate and activate the Service Interface.

SAP ECC

T-Code SPROXY – Activate the Service interface (SI_AIF_ADD_REQ)

Properties Tab-Click on Provider  class

Method tab

Inside the method Call function   CALL FUNCTION ‘/AIF/FILE_XI_PROCESS   Depending on business logic we can all multiple AIF function. Eg  —  /AIF/ALERT_READ_CUST            /AIF/CREATE_ALERT

Go External view   Here we need to make note of ABAP NAME  for structure (RAW & SAP).

    Now we will be moving for AIF Customization  .

    Basic Steps –

                                                     SAP  ECC – AIF CUSTOMIZATION

To kick start with the Interface development  we need to create a namespace , this is done  by

  Define Namespace

  New Entries eg. ZAIF_D

  (One Namespace can be associated with multiple interfaces development)

Define Interface –Select the namespace (ZAIF_D), New Entries.

  Note the Provider proxy class name that is generated in SPROXY.

  In our case –  ZAIF_ASY_ADDR_HNCL_SI_AIF_ADD.

  Raw Data Structure and Record type in raw structure will
  populate automatically.

  Inbound Interface – Raw Data Structureis created during proxy generation, this act as a Source Structure for Inbound Interface.

  Record Type in Raw Structure – is the main component of raw data structure.

  Save all the details. 

Additional interface properties->Specify Interface Engine.

In our case we are dealing with proxy so we need to select the following entries .

Define Structure Mapping – Here fields of the source (Raw) structure are mapped to the fields of
the Destination (SAP Data) Structure.

• Select the Source Structure.
• Assign the destination structure
• .Define the Field mappings.

Define Actions – It wraps the business logic at runtime .At least one function module should be defined.

Select the function double click , New window/session  for Function module editor here we  will be writing business  logic.

Now we will be testing the interface  .
