We've been testing a converter we built on a development server with SAP's
Outbound/inbound interface and all seemed okay.
When we tried testing it on the production server, SAP generates empty
outbound IDoc files although the IDoc contains record as proven by the IDoc
Display in SAP. BTW we are using the file interface.
Here's what I know:
1. I copied the settings in the Port settings in the development server
(including the partner functions)
2. It was not a Unix access permission problem since we tried creating and
appending data to a file in the oubound directory using the SAP account in
Unix
3. When we use the test tool on the IDoc generated in SAP ( but empty in the
outbound subdirectory), SAP was able to generate the IDOC file in the
outbound directory and this time it was not empty.
I'm currently at a loss here. Did I miss out some configuration? What arre
the sttings or configurations I need to set up to make the IDoc processing
work.
We also had problems with inbound processing. SAP kept on returning System
failure to the converter after triggering. It was quite odd since SAP was
able to load the Idoc in the database as shown in the Idoc list. It turned
out that SAP wasn't able to delete the Idoc file the converter generated in
the inbound subdirectory.
We tried using the SAP Unix account but it haad delete access. I suspect
that this and the previous outbound problem are related.
Can anyone help me on this... Thank you
