Generating Partner Profiles

Partner profiles must be created for each logical system that SAP transfers IDOCs to or receives IDOCs from. The simplest way to create Partner Profiles is to use the Distribution Model created earlier to automatically generate them for you. You can then modify them as necessary.

To generate partner profiles

1. From SALE, select Modeling and Implementing Business Processes > Partner Profiles and Time of Processing > Generate Partner Profiles.
2. Enter Model Name in the Model View field and External Logical system name in the Partner System field.
3. Set the following default information.

   Postprocessing Type. Commonly US for user, depends upon the configuration.

   Postprocessing ID. If Type is US, this is a user name.

   Outbound Parameters Version. Use 3 for 4X ALE Interface.

   Outbound Parameters Packetsize. Set to 1 initially, this may be changed later for performance reasons.

   Outbound Parameters Output Mode. Set to Transfer immediately, this may be changed later for performance reasons.

   Inbound Parameters Processing. Set to trigger immediately, this may be changed later for performance reasons.

4. Click Execute to generate partner profiles.

   SAP displays a message indicating if you are successful.

5. Click the back arrow twice to return to SALE.
6. If you are using the Standard Integrations, after generating partner profiles check that the Outbound Parameters for the generated partner profiles use the correct IDOC Types.

   From SALE, choose Modeling and Implementing Business Processes > Partner Profiles and Time of Processing > Maintain Partner Profiles Manually.

   The Partner profiles window opens.

7. Select the LS category and find the logical system name for which you generated a partner profile.

   Select this logical system name.

8. Select each outbound parameter and edit it making sure that the following IDOC Types are used for each corresponding message type:

   MATMAS = MATMAS03
   DEBMAS = DEBMAS05
   ORDCHG= ORDERS05

   NOTE:  If your SAP System version is not 4.6C, change the Seg. Release in IDoc Type field to the value 46C so that IDOCs sent from the SAP system match the integration objects created in Siebel.
