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

YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

Convert flat file to IDOC

Hi SAP Gurus,
I got a flat file containing all the info about IDOC, how can I use this file to generate an IDOC.
Is there is any standard prog which takes the flat file & generate the IDOC.
Flat file contains all info i.e control record, data.
Thanks,
Krishna

store the file in application server and use WE16 trasaction, i think it will create IDOc from the file. use existing file port in 'POSRT' on selection screen of SE16.

URGENT : Program to convert flat file to XML file.

Hello,
       Good Morning. I want an urgent program to convert a flat file seperated by '/' to an XML file format and store that in the the application server. If any one has done such a developement, could you please send me the code.
The flat file format is as below :
72/070414/114147/11973//100-//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353825001511172/72/070414/123620/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////354762008125236/72/070414/125411/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002697/72/070414/140820/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353057002479718/72/070414/145438/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002739/72/070414/145438/11973//1000-//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////353057002479718/72/070414/150008/13814//1000
It needs to be filtered by removing the '/' and also grouped based on two fields namely store number and transaction number. The sample XML output required is as below :

Read flat file into IDOC

Hello All,
I have a file in application server, now I need to convert this file into IDOC format and save the records in SAP database. Can any one provide us the steps to do this. I would like to know how to create a port for file type to read the flat file.
Thank you,

Hi,
Create a Z program in se38 and in that you will have to make use of OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET statements to read the fiel from the application server.
IDOC is just an intermediate document with some structure.
It does not have a capability to read a file by itself.
The file had to be explicitely read from the application server making use of the above statements and then pass the data to the idoc structure.
For more help do F1 on these statements.

Converting a flat file to IDOC

Greetings to All,
I have a requirement where i need to convert an IDOC (flat) file to IDOC.
the idoc is SHPMNT04.Presently i am trying to implement it using FCC at the sender side as the flat file is fixed length type.
Can any one suggest me a better method like using XSLT or Java mapping which could make my work smarter as i am Finding it very difficult to count and write the FCC for the IDOC which is have more than 60 segments.
Any help will be greatly admired.
Thnaks,
Anika.

Hi
I am still having a doubt if this method will work on real time scenario.I mean i have to pick files
from an 3rd party FTP location (polling and picking as and when i get a file starting with say
ABC*.txt).Added to this there will be issue related to the volume of file(1000 per day),will that create
any performance issues.
It is now that you are sharing the complete scenario/ problem , just have a glance from your first post at the top & the replies, because its the problem statement that steers the discussion.
Making the files available for the Report is a seperate task. You have to develop FTP-to-File XI scenario (or regular ftp process to send files across, which normally will not be allowed in XI server), I dont see any other way, if any, I 'assume' that it might complicate the situation.
Performance - it is not something to do with your scenario alone, but the overall system load, configuration etc. (b.t.w 1000 is normal)
Can we schedule a job for running the report periodically?
Yes, scehdule a batch job calling this Report (with necessary variants) with required frequency or exact time (if there is any agreement with sender)
I have started a POC
I appreciate that, best way at this moment. you can reverse engineer from the errors to configure your scenario. for any reason,if you think it does not work, you can always stop and/or look for different solution.
need your help
- Definitely I will share my thoughts, if time permits
how will i get the flat file xml(IDOC) in the source side
do you mean the source structure, you can use the same structure as your target.
once you are convinced with your solution approach, then it is better to close this thread & start a new one with new issues, for more views & suggestions and better readability.
@Rajesh - I appreciate your efforts to solve the issue , but the below is not correct & possible, w.r.t this issue
Here what you need is to do configure File Sender CC with NFS protocol.

IDOC to Flat file and Flat file to IDOC

Hello Experts,
I have the following requirement in my current project:
Third Party Sender sends the data in the in the below XML format via HTTP:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fxEnvelope>
<header>
    <message>
      <exchangeID></exchangeID>
      <messageID></messageID>
      <subject></subject>
      <payloadType>IDOC</payloadType>
    </message>
    <from>
      <orgID></orgID>
      <locationID></locationID>
      <messageID></messageID>
    </from>
    <to>
      <orgID></orgID>
      <locationID></locationID>
    </to>
</header>
<body>
    <Opaque>
      <DataType></DataType>
      <DataStream></DataStream>
    </Opaque>
</body>
</fxEnvelope>
In the above XML, the Tag <DataStream> is a string which contains the IDOC flat file.
Now, the scenario is HTTP to IDOC, where the sender sends the above XML payload and PI needs to convert <DataStream> to IDOC XML and pass it on to the receiver R/3.
But the challange i am facing is converting this <DataStream> tag which contains the IDOC flat file to IDOC XML using a Mapping program.Since both adapters are running on ABAP stack i can not go for Adapter Modules available(We are using PI 7.10).
Looking for some guidance on the same.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Manasa.

There are 2 options for you
In either case, you might need a java mapping to convert the DataStream into String. Use a file adpater to write this string to IDOC-File.
1) Option1: Write the content of DataStream into IDOC-Flatfile.(java mapping) Pick it from PI to convert IDOC-flat file inot IDOC-XML (using std features of PI) & send it to ECC.
2) Option2: Write the Content of DataStream to IDOC-Flatfile (accessible to ECC system). Configure WE21 to pick the file from a file port.
If the datastream was IDOC-XML, then it would have been simpler, it will be a direct communcation from PI to ECC (using java mapping & IDOC adapter).

IDoc flat file to IDoc

I am receiving flat file in SFTP Server which need to be posted into SAP (No mapping involved)
What will be the best approach ?
1. I tried using IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor (The limitation in the format of source file. The parent and child node relationship should be explicitly mentioned in IDoc flat file which legacy system is not able to do) - Any workarounds ?
2. I moved the Idoc flat file into SAP application server. Now need to schedule job using program RSEINB00
3. File Content Conversion
Any other better solution ? Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Jose Augastine

For converting Idoc Flat file to idoc xml, ABAP mapping is one of the feasible option.

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

I have imported the IDOC and changed the occurrence to " unbounded "
The Basic IDOC Type : WMMBID02
I need to generate Multiple segments of E1MBXY1
i.e.., First IDOC should contain two E1MBXY1 segments
         Second IDOC should contain Four E1MBXY1 segments
IDOC1 :   WMMBID02
Segment :   E1MBXY1( 2 segments)

Can anyone suggest me how to generate IDOCs with multiple segments
what are multiple ways of generating it
Whether it can be achieved using Multi-mapping or I need go for UDF
If any one has done has done this type of requirement ,please share the points.
Thanks
Sai

Basically you need to generate idoc per record in the flat file. During fcc conversion you convert flat file to xml structure at the sender side. In the mapping use xml file structure source and idoc as receiver structure. You just export idoc and update the idoc segment 1 to unbounded. Please follow the michael blog for file to idoc multimapping without bpm. Yes without bpm it is possible.
see this link... This will answer your requirement.
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/File%20to%20Multiple%20IDOC%20Splitting%20without%20BPM
>Whether it can be achieved using Multi-mapping or I need go for UDF
you dont need udf for this.

Loading Flat file in ASCII format

Hi All,
    We are loading data from flat file in ASCII Format . Kindly let me know what are the prerequisites we need to maintain when we load data in ASCII Format .
Cheers!
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
I always load in delimited ASCII. True ASCII format has the advantage of being the fastest way to enter data to BW. But you have to make sure, that the values you import are perfect aligned. So you have to fill in blanks to get the values and characteristics aligned. Delimited ASCII separates by a separator (usually a tabulator or a ";").
Example:
ASCII
10200865678983 10PRODA     2011
10200865678983 20PRODB     4012
Delimited ASCII:
1020;08;8656789383;10;PRODA;20;11
1020;08;8656789383;20;PRODB;40;12
Depending on system you may also be careful how you name your files. In Unix you have to be careful in using Upper/Lower case. Win and Unix systems use different ways to access directories. You have to keep this in mind, especially if you wish to use a function to find the filenames you wish to import.
Also because of Unix or Windows systems you should remember that Unix just need a CR to separate lines, while Windows needs CR/LF. So if you try to import Windows files in Unix systems you will get interesting results. Look at the files you wish to import with transaction AL11. If you see some interesting black cubes at the end of line, you have a windows file you try to load in unix.
Kind regards,
Jürgen
