Collection of multiple idocs into a file

while activating the BPM,i m getting error "Expression must not return a multiline value" in transformation step of BPM at the source message.My source message is Abstract asynchronous type idoc which i m sending into BPM and value is container variable of same interface type and which is of multiline type.Can,anyone help me to solve out this error in BPM?

ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/16163ff8519a06e10000000a114084/content.htm
Use that as a checklist !!!
Also make sure that you have provided the message (that needs to be collected) (in message mapping and interface mapping) as 0-unbounded

Collection of multiple IDOCS in one file to send once a day

Hello,
There are number of documents created for a vendor and we need to send the IDOCs for all the orders in one file collectively. The transfer should happen at the end of day.
Currently we are using correspondance mechanism for it, but it creates one file for each idoc.
Is there any standard solution to combine the IDOCS ?
Thanks and rgds,
Anand

Hello Anand
I have used the approach described in [SAP Network Blog: Collecting IDocs without using BPM|Collecting IDocs without using BPM] to collect IDocs.

Batching of multiple IDOCs into 1 IDOC-XML file

Hi PI experts,
I would like to send all idocs from the same payment run (based on run date & run id) as 1 idoc-xml file to PI.
The number of idocs is variable depending on the payment run.
Is this possible without using ccBPM?
I understand it can be achieved according to /people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm by using FILE adapter. But I don't want to save the idocs into a file system and the number of records in a file is also fixed.
Is there other alternative solution?
Thanks,
Ken.

Hi Michal,
Yes, I have seen your blog and also would like to use the IDoc packaging feature which comes with 7.0 EHP1 onwards, but I am not sure whether the IDoc collecting can be based on the payment run date and run id.
The sending of the collected IDocs is based on when the program RSEOUT00 is executed.
If we perform 2 separate payment runs before the RSEOUT00 is executed, would PI receive 2 Idoc-XML files or 1 combined Idoc-XML file. We would like to receive 2 separate XML files.
Hope you can confirm this.
Thanks.

Is there any sender communication channel is required?
How any receiver detemination ,interface mapping,sender agreement and receiver agreement is required?
Please help.
Regards,
Somenath

Hi,
ID is quite simple to develop when you are done with your BPM in IR.
Import your Business Process in ID.
You need to create two receiver determinations. one from your IDoc to to your BPM and One from BPM to Actual receiver.
Same holds good for interface determination.
there will be one receiver agreement for the actual receiver,(BP to Actual file) which will contain your file adapter.
You do not need any sender agreement or communication channel when IDoc is sender as IDoc channel resides on ABAP stack.

Scaning multiple pages into one file on a 4630

Using HP 4630 printer, windows 8.1, wireless connection.
Want to scan multiple pages into one file.
Per user manual, I work from the computer not the printer.
When first page is scanned am asked if I want to save, I click yes and name file.
When I scan second page am again asked if I want to save, my file name appears, I am told it already exists and asks if I want to keep or replace it.
Whichever one I click, only the second page is saved.
What am I doing wrong?

How do I add multiple images into one file?

I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

Name of the programme, which writes PO Output IDOC into a file

Hello Guru's,
Will anyone know the name of the Program which writes the Purchase Order Output Medium IDOC into a file ( xl file, text file etc,.) in SAP.

Hello
I cannot tell you the program name (but this should be easy to find out using debugging) yet just send the PO output to the required port ( WE21 ):
- generate XML file -> send to XML port
- generate flat file -> send to FILE port

Problems with multiple idocs in one file ( Inbound file )

HI,
Thanks in Advance for your suggestions.. Highly appreciated.
We have problems with multiple IDocs in one file.
We are using XIB ( Amtrix ) as Middleware to receive the files.
Curretenly When the file contains one IDoc then there is no problem. IDoc is created and everything is ok.
If file contains two IDocs ( for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY ) then it is creating two IDocs but both IDocs contains ORDERS plus DELIVERY segements information. That is the problem. Some how SAP unable to differentiate the IDocs in the file.. But it knows that how many idocs are there in the file..because it is creating exact number of idocs.
We are using TRFC port ... Do I need to change it to File port..
When we have more than one idoc do we need set any parameter in the file ...

Thanks for the swift response. Always ideas are useful.
As of now , Middleware cannot split the file.
Thing is SAP is creating two Idocs with different message types. Problem is First IDoc contains ORDERS message type but also DELIVERY segments as well. Second IDoc with DELIVERY message tyoe but ORDERS segments as well... This is the problem... I think we are missing some field activation in file for EDIDC record.
As far as I know file port supports the number of IDocs in one file.. Hope TRFC port also supports that

Append or combine multiple IDOCs into a single IDOC file

Hi All,
We are implementing multiple new payment types that will generate IDOC files for us to send to the bank. To keep the cost to the minimum, the requirement is to combine multiple IDOCs to a single file.
I'd like to know the most efficient way to complete this task. Also, I am new to this forum, please let me know if I need to include additional information.
Your help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you,
Joanne T.

Hi Milind,
One way you can do this is generate each report in PDF or Postscript, and then use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to combine the files into one PDF document.

Merging multiple idocs into 1 XML output

Hi Gurus,
I've got a scenario whereby i will need to send payment documents via idocs to XI and XI will output them into an XML file.
At the moment, when i perform a payment run for multiple vendors and send the idocs out, i realised that multiple idocs are being sent out and XI will output multiple XML docs.
Is there any way i can merged these idocs into a single XML document? The idocs are all from the same system.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
I think this is possible using PACKAGING.
Check this note 814393 on Service Market Place.
You want to create or process an XI message with multiple instances of an IDoc (of the same IDoc or extension type) in the mapping.
Please refer below link to follow the steps to Merge IDOCs under single XML,
SAP Network Blog: Collecting IDocs without using BPM
Collecting IDocs without using BPM
IDoc packaging
Reason and Prerequisites
The relevant IDoc is imported into the Integration Repository.
Solution
1) Log on to the Integration Repository.
2) Open the relevant IDoc in the object editor.
3) Select the "Export XSD" menu option in the "Tools" menu.
4) In the subsequent dialog box, assign a file name and save the data to the hard disk of your local PC.
5) Open the file that you have saved in step 4 in an adequate editor (for example, Notepad) for editing.
6) Locate the first entry: <xsd:element name="IDOC" type="<
Idocname>"> and add the following expression, maxOccurs="unbounded", between the value of the type attribute and the closing angular bracket.
Example:
<xsd:element name="IDOC" type="ADR2MAS.ADR2MAS02"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
7) Save the modified file to the hard disk of your local PC.
8) In the message mapping, use the file saved in step 7 instead of the imported IDoc by using the "Import XML or XSD" function in the mapping tool to select the source or target messages.

Multiple IDocs - XI - Flat file

We are looking at a scenario to send multiple IDOCS from SAP to Flat File. We implemented this using the Collect Pattern in BPM, merge all the IDocs into a single message and write it in a file. But is there any a way to avoid BPM and still be able to send multiple IDOCS in a package to be written onto one file?
Thanks
Vinoda

Hi,
I think this is possible using PACKAGING.
Check this note <b>814393</b> on Service Market Place.
<i>You want to create or process an XI message with multiple instances of an IDoc (of the same IDoc or extension type) in the mapping.
The payload of the relevant message is to have the following the format:
<IDOCTYP>
<IDOC>...</IDOC>
<IDOC>...</IDOC>
</IDOCTYP>
To be able to process these messages in the message mapping of the source system and to create them in the target system, you need an XML schema for the IDOC that allows multiple instances of the IDOCtag.
If the relevant IDOC is imported into the Integration Repository, the system generates an XML schema that sets the number of instances of the IDOC tag to exactly one.
The following describes how you can manually change the XML schema so that multiple instances of the IDOC tag are allowed, and how you can make the modified XML schema available to an adequate message mapping.

Multiple IDocs-XI-Single File Scenario

Hi All,
   We need to send multiple IDocs from R/3 to XI and then to a single file using File Adapter. Please help us with your suggestions on how to proceed using a simple solution.
Regards,
Peter

I made a program that solved the issue of collecting the IDOC in to one file.
1. The partent profile should be setup for collect idocs
2. Make a report that will select and dispatch the idocs
seudo code:
select tables with select criteria:
edidc (idoc control)
edid4 (idoc data)
one yo have made you selection into internal tables
it_final_edidc
it_final_edid4
*you can apply rules and data tranformations, eg. PEXR2002 batch per payment type.
CALL FUNCTION 'EDI_OUTPUT_NEW'
           EXPORTING
                onl_option = 'B'
            ERROR_FLAG = ' '
            NAST_RECORD =
           TABLES
                i_edidc     = it_final_edidc
                i_edidd     = it_final_edid4
           EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS      = 1.
" EDI mesages dispatched
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    COMMIT WORK.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_ALL'
       EXPORTING
            _SYNCHRON = ' '
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS    = 1.
That work like a charm when writting the IDOC to a single file.
But when I send the IDOCS to XI like XML-IDOC I still receive one transaction per IDOC.
if anyone know how to solve that, let me know.

Collection of multiple idocs

can some clear me the message mapping posted in the blog by pooja pandey
/people/pooja.pandey/blog/2005/07/27/idocs-multiple-types-collection-in-bpm
i didn't get message mapping done with idoc on sender side and what is on the other side?
this is wat mentioned by pooja pandey:
Create three Message Mapping to convert Outbound type of IDOC into Abstract type so that we can collect it in our BPM. Message Mapping for conversion of three different types of IDOCs to their Abstract type are as follows:
MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM1_to_NOM1_ABS
(ii) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM2_to_NOM2_ABS
(iii) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM3_to_NOM3_ABS
Below mapping is for N:1 transformation. (Here input will be having three different types of Abstract IDOCs and target will be having Abstract Target File type)
(iv) MM_ISU_UKGAS_NOM_to_NOM_ABS

Anoop,
The target used in the blog was a File. For a file target you need to create Datatype and Message Type using graphical editors provided in XI.
See the first 2 steps in the blog. A file format data type and msg types are created. Follow that.

Jai Shankar
