IDOC Flat File-- XI-- IDOC

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein we have to read the IDOC flat file and post it as IDOC to SAP using XI. I understand we have to use the Flat File Sender adapter and the IDOC Receiver Adapter. On the Sender Side we have to define the Content Conversion to convert the IDOC Flat File to IDOC XML. Writing File Content Conversion for the IDOC Flat File would be very tedious because of the number of fields and fixed structure of the flat file.
I have don through the following guide Section 3.2 where it talks abt converting IDOC to IDOC XML using reportRSEINB00.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how%20to%20convert%20between%20idoc%20and%20xml%20in%20xi%203.0.pdf
I am not clear how to invoke this report in the Flat File Sender adapter. Also is there any other approach.
Thanks
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Rajeev
You have a flatfile at the sender side so you dnt have any feasiable option to do other than FCC....FCC is not a tediuos one...if you can provide the strucutrre we will help you out...
Check out you have a fixedlength file or piple separated one....
In the functional design how many fields re present and buil the DT,MT MI accoprdingly.....
you have to just use some conecnt conversion parameters that's it...
item.fieldSeparator
item.endSeparator
item.fieldNames
here item is your recordset name
let us know your strucutre

Idocs from XI to a flat file

Dear All,
I having a scenario in which whenever a Delivery is created in R/3 an idoc is posted into XI. I am able to see the idocs in transaction IDX5. Now I want to download this Idoc into a flat file thru XI.
Kindly guide me how this can be done oe tell me the suitable links to do the same.

How to Map Idoc-Orders05 Qualifier permitted values to a flat file Str

Hi All,
My scenario is IDoc-xi-flat file. I have a problem in mapping the respective qualifier value in IDoc to the flat file structure. I am using the function fix values in Message Mapping. Suggest how should the target field should look like to map to the qualifier.
Thanks
Gowri K.

hi,
can you tell a little bit more on what are you trying to achive?
do you only need one qualifier in file or all or what?
can you use the same structure as in IDOC ?
be a little more precise

Picking a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server by SAP PI

Hi,
Can SAP PI pickup a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server Directory and send it back as an Inbound IDOC.
Scenario:
We have a data in the EXCEL Sheet, which will be used to a fill an IDOC and the IDOC will be just save in the SAP R/3 Application Server Directory, but can not be triggered due to its peculiar behavior. Afterwards, SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server and send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC.
For Ref: IDOC does not have a Outbound Process Code, thus can not be triggered and send to SAP PI. It is always used as a Inbound IDOC in SAP R/3 system.
Regards,
Saurabh

SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server
If SAP PI = 7.11 --> /people/william.li/blog/2009/04/01/how-to-use-user-module-for-conversion-of-idoc-messages-between-flat-and-xml-formats
send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC
why to send some information again into R3 which it already has? cant some internal code in R3 read the info from excel and then update the IDOC directly?

Extract to flat file or IDOC

Does anybody know how to use BW Datasources in R3 (found in transaction RSA5) to extract data to a flat file for the purpose of loading a non-SAP data warehouse?
The export file may be an IDoc.
I tried RSA3, but it seems you have to specify a "target system" which is a BW system. I simply want to use the BW extractors to extract to a file.
Thanks - I will reward points.

Hi,
If it is function module based extractor then you can use the copy/modify the code (copy in case you are authorized to change it). Now at the end of the extractor write an ABAP code to download the data into a flatfile using GUI_DOWNLOAD or any suitable function module. You can use this extractor fn module in an ABAP program and schedule it everyday to create the flatfile.
If it view/table base extractor then use that in an ABAP program to create the flatfile.
Revert if you need more info.
You can find the type of extractor in RSO2 and also in the tabel ROOSOURCE.

Converting Idoc flat file representation to XML

Hi ,
I went through the guide for How To Convert Between IDoc and XML in XI 3.0. I'm concerned with the second part of the guide which says convert from falt file representation of Idoc to XML. Can anyone tell me what are the other design and configuration objects to be created for this scenario ( message types,interfaces, mapping , etc )
Also which step of the pipeline does the converted XML goes to ?
The program also expects a filename, what if I want to pass the file name dynamically ? Any ideas on this one.
Hope someone replies this time.........:)
Thanks for you help and improving my knowledge
Thanks
Advait Gode.

Hi Advait,
Let me give you a small overview on how inbound IDOCs work before answering your question-
The control record is the key in identifying the routing of the IDOC. If you try to think IDOCs as normal mails(post), the control record is the envolope. It contains information like who the sender is and who the receiver should be and what the envelope contains (no different than receiving mails/letters by post).
Then the data records contain the actual data, in our example would be the actual letter. The status records contain the tracking information.
Traditionally SAP's IDOC interface (even before XI comes in picture) has utility programs to post incoming IDOCs in to SAP. One such program is RSEINB00 which basically takes the IDOC file name and the port as input. This program opens the file and posts the contents to the SAP IDOC interface (which is a set of function modules) via the port. The idea is to read the control record and determine the routing and further posting to application. Note that one information in the control record is the message type/idoc type which decides how the data records need to be parsed.
Now in XI scenario, what happens if we receive data as flat file? Normally, we use flat file adapter and in the file adapter we provide information on how to parse the file. But, if the incoming file is flat and in IDOC structure, why do we have to configure the file adapter, when the parsing capability is already available using RSEINB00/Standard IDOC interface.
This the reason, the guide suggests you to use RSEINB00. Now, your concern is what if you need to provide a dynamic filename. My idea is to write a wrapper program. This would be an ABAP program in your integration engine. This program will determine the file name (based on a logic which should be known to you) and then call program RSEINB00 using a SUBMIT/RETURN. You would then schedule this ABAP program in background to run in fixed schedules.
There are other ways of handling your scenario as well but from limited information from your request, I will stop with this now. Post me if you have any more queries.

Variable Substitution for IDOC-XML-Flat File

Hello
I have a scenario where I need to populate the Idoc number into my file name. the Source is an Idoc and the Target is XML but the target is then converted to an Flatfile via a module in the processing sequence. When I try to use the variable sub method it errors out as the final target structure is a flat file and not the XML structure that I hav used in the graphical mapping. Any help on how I can go abut doing this will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks
Lavanya

IF I remove my adapter that converts the XML file to Flat file from the module sequence this works perfectly. So is there a way for me to now read the xml file for the target file name in variable sub. but still have the Flat file structure derived for the processing seq.

Send Idoc flat file message in JMS receiver adapter

Hello,
I am working on a scenario where we send Delvry 03 idoc from ECC to external system. To external system, we send the whole Idoc in flat file structure through JMS queue. I have used Idoc to flat file program in my interface mapping and have configured JMS receiver adapter with just default Module configs but, I am getting an error in communication channel monitoring for the messages.
Please note that Idoc xml to flat file structure conversion is already done in the mapping, I need to just pass this idoc flat structure in the jms adapter. Hence ther eis no content conversion i nthe adapter..
Please give some inputs..Here are the modules in my receiver adapter and nothing else..
SAP XI JMS Adapter/ConvertMessageToBinary
SAP XI JMS Adapter/SendBinarytoXIJMSService
The error I get is in audit log
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: No transition found from state: ERROR, on event: process_commence for DFA: CC_JMS_R:ca336a6689f837da8bd3387140fc4447
in turn the message has this error if I open the message
Whitespace is not allowed at this location. Error processing resource 'http://host:port/mdt/messageconten...
and it shows one of the lines from idoc..flat file
Any idea is greatly appreciated..Thank you..Thanujja

The difference in what I suggest is that it is way simpler.
Maybe you did not understand this, so will try to explain it better. Its not the best thing to do, but if JMS adapter doesn't budge then you can give it a shot.
1. You continue to use the ABAP mapping in your interface mapping to map the Idoc xml to Idoc flat.
2. Write a Java Map that will take the output of the ABAP mapping ; and then create a XML output which would be something like,
<Root>
<Idoc_Flat>
<Data>ABAP Mapping Output<Data>
</Idoc_Flat>
</Root>
3. Now use the simple content conversion in the JMS adapter to convert this to flat file.

Flat file to idoc mapping issue

Hi Gurus,
i had a flat file format in sender side as below:
H_ID     TYP_CODE    line_elemet      Quantity
5896 STANDARD                       1.transmitter    1
5896                  STANDARD       2.xxxxxxxxx           1
5896                   STANDARD      3.yyyyyyyyy 2
6895                  STANDARD       1.aaaaaaaaa        1
9436                  STANDARD       1.bbbbbbbbb          4
9436                  STANDARD       2.ggggggggg          3
The above file need to be send to an Idoc.
for which same header_ID values should create only one header segment, under that many a line segments should create as many line items appear on that header_id value.
Here my query is how to suppress the repetetive header values to create onlyone header segment. And how to create as many line_item segments as the number of line items appear.
points obvoius for the response
Thanks in advance,
Sekhar.

Doubts in SAP(Idoc)-XI-Flat file scenario

Dear All,
I am sending Delivery Idoc from R/3 and I am able to view the Idoc in XI in transaction IDX5. Also i m able to see the XML structure with the data of the idoc in SXMB_MONI.
Now as per my scenario I have to download this to a flat file from XI.
My question is, should I have to do the creation of Data types, message types, mapping interface & interface mapping in IR or should I directly do the designing in the ID.
waiting for your reply.
Warm regards,

Hi,
DT, MT, MI : you will create these things for receiver flat file only.
First create
In Integration Repository :
1.     Import structure of IDOC in your scenario, In imported objects  IDOCs
              a.     In Interface Objects
1.     Create Data type for your flat file
2.     Create Message Type
3.     Create Message Interface (inbound Asy.)
              b.     In Mapping Objects
1.     Message Mapping : IDOC to Message Type of Flat File.
2.     Create Interface Mapping : IDOC to Flat file by using Message Mapping which you have created.
Make activate all these things.
In Integration Directory :
1.     Create Communication channel for File Receiver.
2.     Sender Communication channel is not required.
3.     Create Receiver Agreement.
4.     Sender Agreement is not required.
5.     Interface Determination
6.     Receiver Determination
At sender side you will take your IDoc and at receiver side you will take your flat file.
It can help you,
Regards,
Sandeep Kaushik

R/3 46C(IDOC) -- XI -- Flat file scenario

Hi
Is there anyone who could give me information on a R/3 46C(IDOC) --> XI --> Flat file scenario?
Many thanks!
br
Göran

Hi Manish
We are using a standard IDOC called PROACT.PROACT01
(We are using transaction sa38(Report RSMIPROACT) in R/3 to send our IDOC.)
First we create the technical and business systems in SLD
Second we transfer these to the repository.(I think the only thing you need to do is to update the SLD cache to get them there - Design : Integration builder --> Environment --> clear SLD cache)
Then we just use the configuration wizard(Configuration : Integration builder --> Tools --> configuration wizard) to map everything together - defining sender and receiver etc(You get the configuration wizard tool by patching XI to patch level 4 or 5).
I assume that you have made all the configurations accordingly to the XI configuration guide which you can download from the service marketplace.
This is just a hint but maybe it can give you a start.
