5.5 Generating Partner Profiles

The system automatically generates a partner profile or you can manually maintain the profile.

NOTE:If you are using an existing distribution model and partner profile, you do not need to generate a partner profile. Instead, you can modify it to include the USERCLONE BAPI.

5.5.1 Generating a Profile

  1. In SAP, enter transaction code BD82.

  2. Select the Model View. This should be the Model View previously created in Creating a Distribution Model.

  3. Ensure that the Transfer IDoc Immediately and Trigger Immediately option buttons are selected.

  4. Click the Execute icon.

    When the status screen appears, ignore any red error or warning messages related to the driver’s logical system.

5.5.2 Modifying the Port Definition

The port definition might have been generated incorrectly. For your system to work properly, you might need to modify the port definition.

  1. In SAP, enter transaction code WE20.

  2. Select Partner Type LS.

  3. Select your receiver logical system (such as DRVCLNT100).

  4. Click the Create Outbound Parameter icon, then select message type USERCLONE.

  5. Modify the receiver port so it is the file or TRFC port name you created earlier (such as IDMPORT or IDMFILE).

  6. Under Output Mode, select Transfer IDoc Immediately to send IDocs immediately after they are created.

  7. In the IDoc Type section, select the Basic type and the appropriate USERCLONE:

    • For SAP 4.5, select USERCLONE01

    • For SAP 4.6a, select USERCLONE02

    • For SAP 4.6c, select USERCLONE03

    • For SAP 6.10, select USERCLONE04

    • For SAP 6.20 or greater, select USERCLONE05

  8. Save your entries.

    NOTE:The following procedures are necessary only if you want to distribute company address data.

  9. Click the Create Outbound Parameter icon, then select message type CCLONE.

  10. Modify the receiver port so it is the file or TRFC port name you created earlier (such as IDMPORT or IDMFILE.)

  11. (Conditional) If you are using a TRFC port, modify the packet size. Select Packet Size = 1.

  12. Under Output Mode, select Transfer IDoc Immediately to send IDocs immediately after they are created.

  13. In the IDoc type section, select Basic type and the appropriate CCLONE. (For all SAP versions, select CCLONE01.)

  14. Save your entries.
