B2B Integration with SAP Process
Orchestration: How to install the new B2B
add-on
Posted by Dimitri Sannen Sep 9, 2013
I see a lot of people facing problems setting up the new B2B add-on for SAP PI or PO. In this blog,
based on a SAP PO 7.31 SP07 system, I will explain all the steps necessary to do the set up. Please
note that the software used in this blog was downloaded on September 9
th
2013. The product evolves
very fast and within a few weeks, higher patch levels could be available.

Prerequisites
Make sure these 2 roles are added to the user executing the setup
SAP_XI_B2B_CONFIGURATOR_J2EE
SAP_XI_B2B_ADMINISTRATOR_J2EE

Make sure the users PIAF<SAPSID>, PIDIR<SAPSID> and PIIS<SAPSID> are added to the Administrators
group and they have role SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR_J2EE assigned.
STEP 1 download the correct software
Go to the Download Center on the SAP Service Marketplace via URL http://service.sap.com/swdc
You can go for Installations and Upgrades, but please note you need to upgrade this software!

Within the Support Packages and Patches, go to A-Z Index -> P -> PI B2B ADDON and to PI SFTP PGP
ADDON for all relevant components.

Make sure you download them all. Choose for every component if you are on SP0 or SP1.

STEP 2 deploy the software

Use the JSPM to deploy all downloaded components.
STEP 3 verify the deployment

Go to the start page of the java stack (http://<host>:<port>/startPage) -> System Information -> Components
Info and take B2B for the Name. This is the result:

Please note SP1 is installed.
STEP 4 add content to the Enterprise Services Repository
The downloaded B2B Toolkit ZIP file contains all the relevant information. Go to the ESR -> Tools -> Import
Design Objects and import file XI7_11_B2B_TOOLKIT_1.0_01_02.tpz.
Do the same for the B2B Mapping Kit and import file XI7_11_B2B_MAPPING_KIT_1.0_01_00.tpz.

In case you want to use the SFTP adapter too, make sure to import the content as well into the ESR.
STEP 5 configure the EDI content manager
Go to the B2B Integration Cockpit (http://<port>:<host>/b2bic) -> EDI Content Manager. In my case, I want to
configure different EDI scenarios, so I go for Edifact in the menu. You can also go for another message format.
The steps are similar.

STEP 5.1 import content
The downloaded B2B content part (file PIB2BCONTENT01_5-20009370.ZIP) contains the Runtime Content
you need. Make sure all the relevant files with the .b2b extension are imported. With relevant I mean the
ones for your message format. In my case, I need to import files B2B_EDI_TABLES-93A_99B-v1.0.b2b and
B2B_EDI_TABLES-00A_10B-v1.0.b2b.
You can verify the tables content using the Tables menu item

STEP 5.2 control keys
Make sure the Control Key Scenario Association part and the Control Key Description Editor part are filled
in properly. If not, you will face errors mentioning no conversion rules available or unkown message type.
Basically, the system needs this to identify the incoming message and map it to XML or vice versa (TIP: use
this configuration in conjunction with adapter module localejbs/EdifactConverterModule)

STEP 5.3 generate XSD

Generate an XSD and use this one as an external definition in your ESR
STEP 6 Integration Directory

Verify if the new adapters are available to use.
As of this point, you can start creating your own scenarios.

Hi Dimitri,

Just to give you an update.. now it's working just fine.. we didn't know the reason of the behavior, we just
deploy the SP2 and that seems to solve the problem.

Thenks a lot for taking the time to answer our questions.
Regards.

Hi Rajesh,

Are you sure the B2B add-on has been deployed properly? A HTTP 404 means that the URL does not exist.

Please check that first.

NOTE: in case you still face problems, please open a thread within this community and refer to it here. The
space to answer here is getting too narrow and helpful/correct answers cannot be indicated.

Kind regards,
Dimitri

Hi Dimitri,

I was trying to access the b2bic but unfortunately getting 404 error..
when I try to check whether the roles SAP_XI_B2B * are present in system to my surprise I dont see those
roles created/generated in System.

Could you please advice how the above roles get generated or Can I create them manually if so what are the
actions to be assigned under that role.

Thanks in Advance
Rajesh

Hi Gustavo,

Perhaps the adapter service was not started? Please verify it using the NWA -> Operations -> Systems -> Start
& Stop -> Java Applications.

Check if these ones are started:
com.sap.aii.adapter.pgp.app
com.sap.aii.adapter.sftp.app

NOTE: in case you still face problems, please open a thread within this community and refer to it here. The
space to answer here is getting too narrow and helpful/correct answers cannot be indicated.

Kind regards,
Dimitri

Hi Dimitri, First of all, thanks for answering,

Im aware of that, actually SFTP was the only component that we installed beacause its the only we need, and
now its showing in NWA as you mentioned in step 3. But for some reason the adapter is not visible in the list of
comunication Channels in the Integration Builder in the step 6.

Any Idea?

Please be aware that the SFTP adapter resides within a separate download and is also in a separate download
area on the SAP Service Marketplace

In my case everything seems to be ok, but the step 6. The SFTP Adapter is not available in the list. Any idea
why is not showing?

I checked in NWA that all components are installed and applications started, and they are ok, but we can't find
the reason for this behavior... and I couldn find so far any posts or notes mention this problem.

Any suggestion could be helpful.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Johannes,

The import can be performed from the B2B Integration Cockpit (SP1 and above).
Short cut URL for the same is : http://<host>:<port>/b2bic

You have to navigate to EDI Content manager and then inside any of the EDI standard there is the Import
option.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ruchir
