Conversion of Flat file Idoc to Idoc

hello SDNers
I am currently working on conversion of Flat file representation of an IDoc to IDoc XML. There is a document available in
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a regarding this
conversion.I am new to this field. Please help me out
1) step by step process of how its working?
2) Or any other ways to do the conversion?

Hi,
>>>1) step by step process of how its working?
the document you mention is just a mapping which you need to add to your scenario
and it will work
>>>2) Or any other ways to do the conversion?
if you have PI 7.1 and EhP1 then there is a java adapter module that you can add to the file adapter
and it will do the transformation automatically

Creating a flat file in the IDOC format

Hi everybody,
Need help.....urgently. Can somebody please tell me how to create a flat file in the IDOC format? I am creating a bill of lading/Documentary payments (EDI 858) and can't figure out a way to write the data generate through the report in a flat file in IDOC format. My deadline is right around the corner and I need help.
Thanks,
M

Hi Minal,
I still don't understand your question.
So, you have a report which selects data and puts it into an internal table. This part looks fine.
You want to create a flat file? Ok, to create a flat file on the application server then use the commands OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, and CLOSE DATASET. To create a flat file on the presentation server then use the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD (or the GUI class, I forgets its name for the moment).
In both cases you should build up an internal table which has the exact structure required for your (EDIFACT?) EDI message, and then use the appropriate method to write the file.
If the following steps are manual then there is nothing more for you to do.
I don't see any need to use Idoc technology, or make any reference to it in your solution.
I hope that helps. If not, please be more specific when asking your questions.

I know how to read the flat file and how to send an IDOC but I don't know how to send many IDOCs and How to know when a field change in the structure.
Could anybody help me with this? or send me a Weblog with a similar scenario.
Thanks

Flat file to multiple IDOCs

Hi experts,
I have a bit of a problem here wit a flat file to IDOC interface.
My input CSV file structure (shortened) is as follows -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:POINBOUND_MT xmlns:ns0="urn:xx:xi:dwn:xx:pf:xxx:poinbound:100">
 <Record>
 <Row>
 <PO_HEADER_ID/>
 <TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE/>
 <LINE_NUM/>
 <AMOUNT_LIMIT/>
 </Row>
 </Record>
</ns0:POINBOUND_MT>
the target side is an idoc - PORDCR1.PORDCR102.
in the input file, for each row the PO_HEADER_ID field will have repeated values. the structure for eg.-
PO_HEADER_ID < other fields> < otherfields> ...
12345 <other fields>..<.. >
12345 <other fields>..<..>
12345 <other fields>..<..>
56789 <other fields>..<..>
56789 <other fields>..<..>
Now i need two idocs ( 2 distinct header values) on target side - the 1st idoc will have first 3 line items and 2nd idoc will have the last 2 line items. have already edited the IDOC in xsd format to make it unbounded.
Problem - i am able to create two idocs by handling contexts(splitbyvalue and a UDF), but with the line items its not working i.e. the first idoc gets the 3 line items created but the 2nd idoc does not have any!
my mapping for line items is -
PO_HEADER_ID <-> splitbyvalue(value changed) <-> count <---> UDF (for result.addvalue using count) <-----> lDOC LINE_ITEM node.
This logic does not work incase i need to create more than one idoc on the target side, it only works for the first idoc..so wat can i do??
Plz help.
thnx in advance!
Raju.

FM to create a flat file in given IDOC type format

Hi,
I need to create a flat file having IDOC format.
I have data in some other source file.
Which function module can be used for the same?
Could you pls provide some sample code?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks.
-Shreyas

My Exact requirement is:
I have some data in a source file.
Now I want to create a flat file while which should be in a standard IDOC format(WMMBID02) so that I can process it later using IDOC processing say EDI_DATA_INCOMING or any appropriate FM which will process IDOC later.
I dont want IDOC to be created in the system right now. I just need to reformat my source file into a standard IDOC format flat file.

Conversion of EDI File format to IDOC format

We have a file in u201C.ediu201D format. We could not process this file with RSEINB00 ( IDoc inbound processing using file ) program.
1-) Could we directly do our process with this u201C.ediu201D file ? Or do we have to convert this u201C.ediu201D file to IDOC format?

If it's EDI format file (Ex: EDIFACT, X12 ...etc), we should convert the file to IDOc file by using mapping in subsystems like Gentran or TLe..etc. Conversion from edi format to idoc format will not be done in SAP.

OILLDD01
 IDOC
 E1OILT1
 E1OILT2
 E1OILT3
 E1OILT4
each B-Recor shall produce a new iDoc.
each C-Record shall make an E1OILT1-segment
each D-Record shall make an E1OILT3-segment(if the D-record exist)
My problem is.:
How can I make an new iDoc for each B-Records in the file.
I got the file tthrough the filadapter.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

The file from the file adapter have to be parsed using the File Content Conversion.
Now this converted XML will have the fields with value "A", "B","C" etc.
This can be then mapped according to ur requirements. U need to export the IDOC as XSD , change the occurrence and then reimport it in the external definitions.

Conversion of flat files in csv to oracle table format:"error encountered"

hello friends
thanks for replying
i have written the following code
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
After writing this code i got an error saying u dont have sufficient privileges
what does this exactly mean ?????
Please help me out with this
i also got an error saying that[b] the directory does not exist
Please help me out with the same
Regards,
Mahesh

possibly that you don't have priveleges to create a table. also the command you are trying is applicable only to server side not client side. it should be run to where your database is installed.
you can also check if the existing directory exist
select *
from all_directories
where directory_name = 'EXT_DIR'if the directory does not exist you have to ask your database administrator to create the EXT_DIR.

Convert flat file to Idoc format

Due to some security reasons , the ALE scenario for material master is not allowed directly between 2 SAP systems
So the SAP system A is sending a flat file (not in Idoc format)
From SAP system B , we need to do an Inbound process to post the Idocs with following rough steps
1) Flat file upload
2) Flat file -> Idoc format conversion (EDI subsystem is not existing in this scenario and so this step has to be done within SAP)
3) Idoc processing
Even though this scenario can be accomplished without using Idocs ,
for better monitoring and reprocessing options it is required that Idocs need to be used.
Please explain the detailed steps for the above scenario

Hi,
This sounds very much lie complicating things unnecessary...Are this 2 SAP systems of the same company ?
Why would using IDOCS be more insecure then using flat files ?
If the purpose is to have a manual check before upload, you can achieve the same with IDOCS.
Please add some background to the process,
regards
Dirk

IDoc as a flat file...

I want to read a flat file that is an IDoc and post it as a XML after necessary conversion...So i wanted to know what are the feasible ways to read the flat file thats an IDoc?

Your flat file is of fixed lenght format or tab delimited I believe. Get the flat file data into an internal table. Study the IDOC structure in transaction WE30. & according populate the idoc segemnts from the internal table value..
For ABAP to XML conversion..Create XSLT & the extraction program..
Create XSLT:
In transaction SE80 browse menu Workbench -> Edit Object. In the popup window enter XSLT Program name (e.g. ZXSLT) and click on create button.
Enter the following code into the editor..
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<!xsl:output encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="D2CXML">
<PurchaseOrders>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</PurchaseOrders>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<PONO>
<xsl:attribute name="no">
<xsl:value-of select="EBELN"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<PORDNO>
<xsl:apply-templates select="EBELN"/>
</PORDNO>
<Vendor>
<xsl:apply-templates select="LIFNR"/>
</Vendor>
<PurchaseOrg>
<xsl:apply-templates select="EKORG"/>
</PurchaseOrg>
<PurchaseGrp>
<xsl:apply-templates select="EKGRP"/>
</PurchaseGrp>
<xsl:apply-templates select="X-MLSTRUCT"/>
</PONO>
</xsl:template>
