How to read an IDoc with an ABAP program?

Hi experts!
I am new to SAP and I need to read an IDoc with an ABAP program... how to do it?
Maybe it is possible to read an IDoc into inner table...?
Hellpful answers and advices will be rawarded.

hi
I understand your issue, to pickup an IDOC flat file & post it to R/3 (with or without mapping).
There is no straight forward solution but there are some ways (Normal way of Working as of now ?!!!) provided in the "How to"
check this link
https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/nw-howtoguides
and look for this guide
How To Convert Between IDoc XML and Flat Files in XI.30
Probably you need to automate this using some programs,
- Create an ALE port of type File
using transaction WE21 on your
Integration Engine.
- Run report RSEINB00 on your
Integration Engine. The report will
upload the file, filter the IDoc header
data, perform the conversion to IDoc
XML and put the data into the
pipeline of the Integration Server.
Therefore it is crucial, that the IDoc
control record data is populated
correctly and corresponds to the
adapter-specific identifiers of your
sender service. Once the message
is put successfully into the pipeline
of the Integration Server, the file is
deleted.
Hope this fixes your issue

How to create Inbound Idocs in a ABAP program? Any function Module?

Hello Experts,
My requirement is : I have sales order data which I extracted from third party system in my internal tables. In the same box I need to create inbound Idocs and then consequently create sales orders.
I have used the function module IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB to create inbound Idocs from Sales Orders data in internal tables. I have populated all the data records with correct PSGNUM and HLEVEL values. My plan is to create inbound idocs with this function module and send those to IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS function module which creates Sales Orders.
If a sales order in the internal table in ABAP program contains only one item, then I am getting correct idocs. But if more than one item exists for a sales order then the line item segments which got repeated in Idoc are having PSGNUM and HLEVEL values as zero when I checked in WE02. As a result the hierarchy from the second item segment is getting disturbed and getting the status 60.
I populated T_EDIDD with data records from IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB.
To the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS, T_EDIDC and T_EDIDD are the input. I observed that in T_EDIDD also the PSGNUM and HLEVEL values are blank.
I am getting Status 60 with message 'EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)' for idocs which have more than one item.
I need to extract sales data from third party and create inbound idocs and create sales orders in one ABAP program only. I need to display corresponding Idoc numbers for the corresponding third party sales order number in a listoutput.
Can anybody please provide inputs?
Regards.

Hi Anjali,
Thanks for the response.
I have passed the PSGNUM and HLEVEL values while populating the data records. Then I sent the data records and control record information to the function module IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB. Inside this function module there is code to clear the PSGNUM values and HLEVEL values.
for compatibility: clear administration data of data records
           perform data_records_wipe
                                  tables
                                      t_data_records.
FORM DATA_RECORDS_WIPE
                  TABLES
                      T_DATA_RECORDS_IN STRUCTURE EDIDD.
LOOP AT T_DATA_RECORDS_IN.
    CLEAR: T_DATA_RECORDS_IN-MANDT,
           T_DATA_RECORDS_IN-DOCNUM,
           T_DATA_RECORDS_IN-SEGNUM,
           T_DATA_RECORDS_IN-PSGNUM,
           T_DATA_RECORDS_IN-HLEVEL.
    modify t_data_records_in.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                               " DATA_RECORDS_WIPE
This is the code which is clearing all the PSGNUM and HLEVEL values. After coming out of this function module we are getting the error idocs created with disturbed hierarchy.

Please let me know if any inputs? Is there any function module existing to create Inbound Idocs inside an ABAP program?

How to execute Infopackage with an ABAP program

Dear All,
I would like to execute an infopackage every 6th day of the month.
Therefore I would like to integrate a program in a process chain executed on a daily basis, and call with this program the execution of the infopackage if day = 6.
Do you know how to execute an infopackage inside an ABAP program ? Which function module use ?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello luminy13,
Just to answer your question on how to start an InfoPackage inside an ABAP program: you can use function module BAPI_IPAK_START. You might also need to use FM BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE to change the scheduling.
However, if the only reason you are creating the ABAP program is to run the InfoPackage at the 6th day of the month, then I don't recommend that you create the ABAP program at all. You can simply schedule the InfoPackage (or the process chain that contains it) on the 6th day of the month. Here's how to do it:
In the scheduling dialog, click the ">>" button. Enter the factory calendar, put 6 is in the workday and then choose "beginning of the month".
Hope this helps.

How to avoid time out error in abap program

How to avoid time out error in abap program
based on performance wise i want please help

Timeout occurs when a statement exceeds its time limit.To avoid this we need to tune the statements.
I can give give you few tips for tune a select stament.
1.The order of the feilds in the select statement should be same as the order of fields in the database table.
2.It is always advisible to use the key fields when you are using the where clause.
3. Sort the internal table while using the for all entreis statements.
4.Use index in where clause if necessary.
5.When you have a read statement user binary search but before this a sort statement should be there.
6. Check your program with the Tcode ST05 and check which statement takes much time based on that tune that.

Read Data From DSO - In ABAP Program

HI Friends,
Can any one tell how to read Data from a DSO in a Abap Program on BI System itself......
Which is the better way to read data from DSO in Abap Program... Is it
1. Reading Data Directly From the Active Table Of the DSO ... or
2. Reading Data From DSO....
In case of reading data from DSO.... Which function module is used to do this work....When i searched the forum i came across 2 function Modules.... BAPI_ODSO_READ_DATA_UC and RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ..... Please let me know which one should be used....
Regards,
Shyam.

Hi Shyam,
The active content of any ods will be stored in the database tables( SE11) with the naming convention /BIC/A<odsname>00 for Custom-defined DSO and /BI0/A<odsname>00 for Business content delivered DSO.
For example if the technical name of the ods is TEST , then the active content table name in SE11 will be /BIC/ATEST00.
You can write your own program to read the contents of this database table.

How to Read an IDOC

Hi Experts,
Can any one explain me about IDOC, and how to read it once it is created.
Regards
Venu

Hi,
IDOCS:
IDocs are SAPs file format to exchange data with a foreign system.
IDocs are an ASCII file format to exchange data between computers; the format is chosen arbitrarily .
IDocs are similar to segmented files; they are not a description language like ANSI X.12, EDIFACT or XML.
The IDoc contents are processed by function modules, which can be assigned in customizing.
IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent). They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
IDocs are simple ASCII data streams. When they are stored to a disk file, the IDocs
are simple flat files with lines of text, where the lines are structured into data fields.
The typical structured file has records, each record starting with a leading string that identifies the record type. Their specification is stored in the data dictionary.
IDocs is the acronym for Interchange Document. This indicates a set of (electronic)
information which builds a logical entity. An IDoc is e.g. all the data of a single
customer in your customer master data file, or the IDoc is all the data of a single
invoice.
IDoc data is usually exchanged between systems and partners that are completely
independent. Therefore, the data should be transmitted in a format that can easily be
corrected by the computer operators. It is therefore mandatory to post the data in a
human readable form.
Nowadays, this means that data is coded in ASCII format, including numbers which
are sent as a string of figures 0 to 9. Such data can easily be read with any text editor on any computer, be it a PC, Macintosh, UNIX System, S/390 or any internet
browser.
The information which is exchanged by IDocs is called a message and the IDoc is
the physical representation of such a message. The name messages for the
information sent via IDocs is used in the same ways as other EDI standards. .
Everybody who has ever dealt with interface programming, will find IDocs very
much like the hierarchical data files used in traditional data exchange.
International standards like the ODETTE or VDA formats are designed in the same
way as IDocs are.
Other EDI standards like XML, ANSI X.12 or EDIFACT/UN are based on a data
description language. They differ principally from the IDocs concept, because they
use a programming language syntax (e.g. like Postscript or HTML) to embed the DATA.
The IDoc process is a straight forward communication scenario. A communication is
requested, then data is retrieved, wrapped and sent to the destination in a predefined format and envelope.
An R/3 application creates data and updates the database appropriately. An
application can be a transaction, a stand-alone ABAP Report or any tool that can
update a database within R/3.
If the application thinks that data needs to be distributed to a foreign system, it
triggers the IDoc mechanism, usually by leaving a descriptive message record in the
message table NAST.
The application then either directly calls the IDoc engine or a collector job
eventually picks up all due IDoc messages and determines what to do with them.
If the engine believes that data is ready to be sent to a partner system, then it
determines the function module which can collect and wrap the required IDoc data
into an IDoc.
In IDoc customising, you specify the name of the function module to use. This can
either be one which is predefined by R/3 standard or a user-written one.
When the IDoc is created it is stored in an R/3 table and from there it is sent to the foreign system.
If the foreign system requires a special conversion, e.g. to XML, EDIFACT or X.12
then this job needs to be done by an external converter, like the Seeburger ELKE
system. These converters are not part of R/3.
If you have to decide on a converter solution, we strongly recommend using a plain
PC based solution. Conversion usually requires a lot of fine tuning which stands
and falls with the quality of the provided tools.
DIFFERENCE B/W IDOC AND BDC:
IDOC's are intermediary documents into which the data will be transferred and then this idoc's gets transferred to sap or non-sap system.
ALE is used to create link between 2 systems. So without the linking the data cannot be uploaded or downloaded.
BAPI, LSMW and BDC are used to transfer data b/w systems.
BDC is used to transfer data b/w only sap systems.
LSMW is used to transfer data b/w sap and non-sap systems.
ale Idoc: Idoc is a part of ALE. it is applicable only if the external system and the sending system have the same format. ALE uses Internationally Standardized formats. Also it is facilitating Asynchronous data communication and safest data communication. If you got errors also you can correct it and send it again.
lsmw: It the legacy data transfer. which is used for bulk data transfers. It uses BAPI, IDoc, BDc internally....
bapi: SAP Provided way of data transfer. if the BAPi suits for our business bettere to go for bapi. it too uses internationally standardized data format Business Objects concept.
idocs
1.We will see the status of the IDOC in We02 or We05.
2.In that There are three records.
a.Data record
b.status record.
c.Control record.
3.If u click on data record you can see the data ,which is transfering it.
Details about IDOC:
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
Generate outbound partner profiles;
Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)

IDOC Creation....
http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
You can view the definition of any IDoc data structure directly with transaction WE30.
u cn use function module 'FIELD_POSITION_IN_SEGMENT_GET' to extract data from idocs.
You can view the idoc through we02 or we05. In that there are three types
status records gives the status of that idoc in differenttimes
data records gives the data in that idoc
control records gives the date, time and creater of that idoc.
I think its helps you.

How to Read a Message with Content Type multipart/alternative

Hi ,
I need to write a POP3 Client to read email message ..but some times the messages comes with content type multipart/alternative
how to parse it and read only one of the content :
for example :
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
------=_NextPart_000_12C25_01C6B64F.09226B00

The Same message is in text as well as HTML so not sure how to read it .
currently my program is as follows
for (int i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
Message m = found;
// Get some headers
Date date = m.getSentDate();
Address [] from = m.getFrom();
String subj = m.getSubject();
String mimeType = m.getContentType();
System.out.println(date + "\t" + from[0] + "\t" +
subj + "\t" + mimeType);
Object o = m.getContent();
if (o instanceof String) {
System.out.println("**This is a String Message**");
System.out.println((String)o);
} else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.print("**This is a Multipart Message. ");
Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
int count3 = mp.getCount();
System.out.println("It has " + count3 +
" BodyParts in it**");
for (int j = 0; j < count3; j++) {
// Part are numbered starting at 0
BodyPart b = mp.getBodyPart(j);
String mimeType2 = b.getContentType();
System.out.println( "BodyPart " + (j + 1) +
" is of MimeType " + mimeType);
Object o2 = b.getContent();
if (o2 instanceof String) {
System.out.println("**This is a String BodyPart**");
System.out.println((String)o2);
} else if (o2 instanceof Multipart) {
System.out.print(
"**This BodyPart is a nested Multipart. ");
Multipart mp2 = (Multipart)o2;
int count2 = mp2.getCount();
System.out.println("It has " + count2 +
"further BodyParts in it**");
} else if (o2 instanceof InputStream) {
System.out.println(
"**This is an InputStream BodyPart**");
} //End of for
} else if (o instanceof InputStream) {
System.out.println("***********************************This is an InputStream message**");
InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
/* if(m.getContentType().equalsIgnoreCase("multipart/alternative")) {
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
// Assumes character content (not binary images)
} else {*/
BufferedReader reader
=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
String thisLine=reader.readLine();
while (thisLine!=null) {
System.out.println(thisLine);
thisLine=reader.readLine();
So when the Content TYpe is multipart/alternative it goes into InputStream message .
any help and ideas to handel such situations ?
Thanks
San

Try reposting that with tags (replace the {'s with ['s).
Long story short, I think the FAQ and examples would go a long way towards explaining this, but you basically can check the content type, or check if the content contains parts, and parse each part separately.

How to write a program to read any texts in any ABAP program?

Hi Experts,
How can I write a program to read specific coding section or any texts in any ABAP program?
For example, I want to wirte a program to count how many 'LOOP' and 'ENDLOOP' are in any other program.
Thanks!
Best regards,

Hi,
Follow the given below URL for the program to read another Program into an internal Table.
http://abap4.tripod.com/Upload_and_Download_ABAP_Source_Code.html
Once the Code is there in the Internal Table , you can do the necessary string search.
