How to connect two systems for IDOC interaction

In this post you will know, how to setup connection between two clients (SAP system - the same) for IDOC interaction (Message type MATMAS).

As usual, installed IDES SAP system has at least two clients with data. In my case - IDES DI/MILL PRODUCTS 2011 installed and I have next clients: 

• 710 Discrete Industries
• 720 Mill Products

In t-code SM59 you need to setup ABAP RFC Connections:

from 710 client - MIL_00_720

from 720 client - DIS_00_710

Technical settings from 710 client for MIL_00_720 connection:

1- Target host, 2- Instance number

Logon & Security:

Client (720), User (IBS_RFC - standard IDES user), Password - minimum 8 digits

Unicode: Is better to mark Unicode radiobutton

Connection test:

Also you should do the same for DIS_00_710 connection from 720 client.

Next step - setup in 710 client distribution model  for MATMAS IDOC in t-code BD64

Create model view:

Add message type (MATMAS):

Add message type (SYNCH) - you need it for distributing:

Result:

Next step - setup in 710 - Generate Partner Profile for model view

Next step - setup in 710 - Distribute model view to 720 client (after Save):

After that model view D710__M720 appears in 720 client:

Now you should generate partner for distribution model in 720 client:

Test material transfer from 710 to 720 client (BD10):

WE05 in 720 client

For MATMAS IDOC is possible to see error log in MM90
One more usefull t-code - BD12 for customer distribution (IDOC DEBMAS)
