Symptoms
I configure an ERP MA that runs successfully when doing a full import operation. However, FIM reports a no-data status and no objects are returned from SAP.
Resolution
This is most commonly caused by a missing alias definition in your Xml configuration file for this MA.
- Validate that you have an alias defined for
each SAP structure that you will be reading data from SAP. See the
section on Alias
and Alias Reference Concepts for more information.
- Validate you have an anchor set for the
object type being imported. See the section on How To Set an Anchor
Attribute in a Configuration.
- Validate you have CS attribute(s) mapped to
the function/parameter(s) containing the returned data to be
imported.
- If your running a BAPI that takes a date
parameter (as is the case for BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA) make sure the
ERP MA date format matches that of the SAP/R3 server. See the
section on How
To Configure Server Settings for the ERP MA.
- When mapping attributes to a parameter of
type Table, you need to also make sure that the anchor-attribute is
mapped to corresponding anchor-field in the table (The ERP
ConfigTool does this for you automatically). This is because a SAP
table holds multiple infotype containing data which may/may not be
data for a single SAP object. This resolves any ambiguities.
