Since March, 2012, the B2B Add-On for Process Orchestration became available for customers. The add-on is separately licensed software for B2B/EDI integration in SAP NetWeaver PI 7.11+. You can find the details of the B2B Add-On in the katrin.ahsen/blog/2012/02/03/the-new-b2b-add-on-for-sap-netweaver-process-integration, http://scn.sap.com/community/b2b-integration/blog/2012/02/03/the-new-b2b-add-on-for-sap-netweaver-pr....
This blog discusses the installation and deployment of the B2B Add-On in PI 7.11+.
- From http://service.sap.com/swdc, download the B2B Add-On:
Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z Index --> P --> PI B2B ADDON --> PI B2B ADDON 1.0 --> Installation
- From the downloaded ZIP file, extract the file, XI7_11_B2B_TOOLKIT_1.0_00_00.tpz, from the directory “B2BTOOLKIT1000_0” within the ZIP file. This file contains the metadata for the adapters.
- Import XI7_11_B2B_TOOLKIT_1.0_00_00.tpz into the ESR.
- Tools --> Import Design Objects...
- After import, you should see the following SWCV in the ESR:
- Use JSPM to deploy the adapters in the JEE server.
- From the content of the ZIP file, move the SCA files to the “in” directory of JSPM:
- Start JSPM from the PI server installation directory:
- Logon with an administration userid:
- Select “New Software Components”, and click “Next”:
- The components in the queue will be displayed. Click “Next”:
- Verify the components to be deployed. Click “Start”:
- Status showing components deployed. You can further verify by clicking on the “Deployed Components” tab. Click “Exit”.
- In the Integration Directory, the B2B adapters will be displayed when creating a communication channel.
- Post Installation.
Depending on the components to be used, the following procedures may be required:
- Import the XI7_11_B2B_MAPPING_KIT_1.0_00_00.tpz file into ESR, following the same steps as #3 above. The .tpz file can be found in the B2BMAPPINGKIT1000_0 directory.
After import, we should see the following:
- Import the Archiving Mapping JAR file into the ESR. The JAR file is needed for the Java Mapping to function the Archiver Module.
- The JAR file, com.sap.aii.adapter.archiver.mapping.jar, can be found in the PIB2BCONTENT00_0.ZIP file. As an example, to import the the JAR file in the following SWCV and namespace, right-click on the namespace and select “New”:
- Enter a name for the archive:
- Enter the file path/name:
- After import:
- Extract the .B2B files from PIB2BCONTENT00_0.zip file.
The .B2B files have to be un-zipped and saved in the developer/administrator work- station. This should be used for the various EDI-XML converters. You can see the names of the available B2B files below. All the files below have to be installed for full functionality.
- B2B_EDI_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
- B2B_X12_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
- B2B_VDA_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
- B2B_TRA_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
- B2B_ODE_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
- B2B_PLA_TABLES-<v 1.0>.b2b
NOTE: This step is only for the EDI-XML Converter modules which is a part of the Business to Business Add-On 1.0. For more information on how to import, see Configuration guide of EDI- XML Converter.
- Extract the XSD content from the PIB2BCONTENT00_0.zip file. It provides the service interfaces for different EDI formats and versions. The .XSD files have to be un-zipped and saved in the developer/administrator work- station.
NOTE: XSDs provided by SAP are bulk and you must not import/use all XSDs in ESR. It is advised and recommended to use XSDs only for those EDI message types/versions/transactions which will be used in the business scenarios.
