How to Install B2B Add On

B2B Integration with SAP Process Orchestration: How to install the new B2B add-on Posted by Dimitri Sannen Sep 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 th

note that the software used in this blog was download downloaded ed on September 9 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 , PIDIR and and PIIS are 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 thi s 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:// :/startPage) :/startPage) -> System Information -> Components Info and take B2B for the Name. N ame. This is the result:

B2B Integration with SAP Process Orchestration: How to install the new B2B add-on

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:// :/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 relevan t 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 table’s 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. 3450 Views Tags: sap_b2b, how-to, sap_b2b_installation

Kind regards, Dimitri Anand Shankar Jan 15, 2014 11:53 PM Hi, I am new to SAP B2B adapter and till now not got a chance to do any handson but have a question in Mind. We have split997 adapter from seeburger, what is the alternative available in SAP B2B adapter to use it. I am looking after migrating interface from PI dual stack to PO single stack. Thanks Anand Gustavo Balboa Villafañe in response to Dimitri Sannen on page 6 Jan 10, 2014 12:12 AM 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. Gustavo Balboa Dimitri Sannen in response to Rajesh pasupula on page 5 Jan 9, 2014 10:09 AM 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


Rajesh pasupula Jan 9, 2014 7:52 AM 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 Dimitri Sannen in response to Gustavo Balboa Villafañe on page 6 Dec 27, 2013 8:24 AM 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 Gustavo Balboa Villafañe in response to Dimitri Sannen on page 6 Dec 26, 2013 5:12 PM 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? Dimitri Sannen in response to Gustavo Balboa Villafañe on page 7


Dec 24, 2013 8:31 PM 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 Gustavo Balboa Villafañe Dec 24, 2013 8:24 PM 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... Aman Gupta Sep 20, 2013 10:21 AM Thanks for putting this blog Dimitri.

Thanks, Aman Ruchir Sinha in response to Johannes Kammerer on page 7 Sep 20, 2013 9:19 AM Hi Johannes, The import can be performed from the B2B Integration Cockpit (SP1 and above). Short cut URL for the same is : http:// :/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 Johannes Kammerer Sep 20, 2013 9:08 AM Hello, Very helpfull overview. >Make sure all the relevant files with the .b2b extension are imported. How and there can this "import" of .b2b files be done?
