 error messages if they are any
The BDoc header as well as the other segments can be viewed using the button “Classical
Data”. Before CRM 3.0, BDocs only posessed “classical data”. The extension which only
exists for messaging BDocs can be viewed using the button “Extension Data”. A list of
receiving sites is given using the button “Receivers”. There you will also find error
messages if there are any.

1-3 Determine the flow contexts for a BDoc type


1-3-1 What are the flow contexts for the messaging BDoc type used for Business Partners ?
Middleware -> Message Flow -> Define and Check Flow Definitions
Enter the BDoc type BUPA_MAIN and start the function Execute.
The system will now display the available contexts for the BDoc type.
Depending on the contexts, services (function modules) are called. The Replication
Wrapper calls the Replication service. The function module SMW3_
OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS calls the outbound adapter.

TACRM1 Getting to Know mySAP CRM - Exercises 64


Flow steps not displayed in “Define and Check Flow Definitions”:
After the inbound data have been put into qRFC queues (for SAP R/3 Systems or Mobile
Clients), the qRFC Scheduler reads the data and calls function modules of the (Mobile
Client) Inbound Adapter or the R/3 Adapter depending on the queue type.
Subsequently, the (Mobile Client) Inbound Adapter or the R/3 Adapter start the BDoc
flow.
The Validate service is called without being mentioned explicitly in the flow context.

Data Exchange with External Systems: SAP R/3 Systems
Topic: Initial Data Load (Example SAP R/3 to CRM)
At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
• Set filter objects for an object to be loaded
• Perform the initial load
• Monitor the load
The exchange of data with external systems is a main task of the CRM
Middleware. You need to transfer customizing and/or business data to the
CRM Server and from the CRM Server to other systems, e.g. to back-end
systems for further execution.
Technically, the initial load demands a number of steps taken before
(parameter settings, replication administration, customizing of the CRM
applications etc.) and is it a pre-requisite for the delta load of change
objects.

You want to load customizing objects for the first time from an external system into the CRM Server. As the
back-end system used in this exercise is an SAP R/3 System, you will use the R/3 Adapter functionality.

1 Compare the tables in the source system and in the target system!

View the (customer-defined) customizing table ZCR540_## in the SAP R/3 System.
Use transaction SE11 to go to the Data Dictionary, enter ZCR540_## for Database Table and 
press Display.
Here the structure of the table ZCR540_## is shown.
By pressing the button Contents or via Utilities ­> Table contents ­> Display you may view the 
table content.
The same table exists on the CRM Server (use the same transaction and the same path). However, 
here the table is still empty.

2 Now you set your load filters. Since the back­end system for the exercise is an SAP R/3 System, 
you use the R/3 Adapter functionality.
What transaction will you use to set the filter?

Topic: Monitoring of Data Loads

TACRM1 Getting to Know mySAP CRM - Exercises 72


At the conclusion of this exercise, you will be able to:
• Perform the monitoring for a data load

Monitoring plays an important part in the data exchange. It will be the


task of the responsible person to monitor not the technical functioning
(queues scheduling, RFC calls) but also monitor individual Bdoc
messages in order to undertake counter-actions, e.g. correct
customizing errors.
1 Change the P.O. Box number in the address data of your business partner from the exercises of unit
Replication Administration in the SAP R/3 System, save and verify if the CRM System has received
the change. Go to the change mode for exercise reasons and do not leave that transaction.
Path in the SAP R/3 System:
Logistics -> Sales and Distribution -> Master Data -> Business Partners -> Customers ->
Change -> Sales and Distribution (transaction VD02).
The change is not displayed as the inbound processing has been interrupted. The instructor has
deactivated the standard RFC scheduler via
Middleware -> Administration -> Register/Deregister Queues, Choose R3A and register

2 As the inbound processing has not yet taken place, you may view the relevant inbound queue
(open a new session). Try and find the data contained in a Logical Unit of Work (LUW).
3 After your instructor has registered (activated) the standard RFC scheduler again, verify if your
change can be displayed in the CRM System.
Verify if the data is still the inbound queue!

4 Where do you receive error information if your change is not displayed?


5 Perform the action suggested by the error message.
Leave the transaction. You do not need to save.
6 Try and reprocess your BDoc. Enter the copied BDoc ID number in the selection screen. Refresh
the screen. What happens?
7 Check if the change is now displayed for your business partner.

Middleware -> Monitoring -> Queues -> Display Inbound RFC Queues (transaction SMQ2).

The queue name is R3AD_CUSTOME0000xxxxxx (xxxxxx stands for your customer number).
Queue names are controlled by the CRM Server Applications. As the CRM Middleware has not
processed the data yet, the conversion from the BAPI structures into a BDoc has not taken place.

You may view the data as follows:


Middleware -> Monitoring -> Queues -> Display Inbound RFC Queues (transaction SMQ2).

Mark the queue line, press button Display selection, mark the line, press button Choose, press

the screen. What happens?
Middleware -> Monitoring -> Message Flow -> Display BDoc Messages (SMW01)
Mark your BDoc in error status, go to BDoc message -> Process -> Retry to process or use the
appropriate button Retry to process Message
Your BDoc, which had been in error status, has now status Confirmed. The BDoc flow context
Validate caused the writing of the data to the CRM Database. This change of the CRM Database
triggered a new BDoc flow (Notification), which in turn created a new messaging BDoc this time
destined for any receivers identified by the Replication Service (e.g. a back-end system or the
synchronization in case the mobile bridge for the BDoc type as been activated). The
synchronization flow calls the Replication and Realignment Service in order to write the data to
the CDB and cause the realignment if necessary for Mobile Clients.
