Data Type, Message Type and Mapping for FTP

Thanks in advance for your replies.
As our first production XI scenario, we need to move several (at least 46) files from our SAP instance to a couple of different servers to support our legacy systems.  Once all locations are on SAP this requirement should go away.
I only want to pick up the file from the one server and place it on the other and this leads me to some questions.
How do I define the Data Type and Message Type for each of the files?   Do I need to consider the size of the record in each interface and create DT/MT with different sizes.
Do I need a mapping program that simply maps one structure to the other?

I recently completed a similar exercise.
It looks like this...
server1 ftp (Sender - delete file) - XI - Server2 ftp (receiver - create file).  This will move the file from one server to another.
I used the same schema and mapped fields on a one to one basis.
The Size of the files I process are between 6kb and 500kb each, but the mapping/fields remain constant, just the numebr of items change.
Worked seemelessly for the last three weeks (since go-live)

  • Possible? Using External Definitions for data type/message type definitions

    Hi all,
    i want to use external definitons in my own data type definitions. Is that possible? And if yes, how?
    I imported many definitions via a mass import. Now I also want to use these definitions for further interfaces (than the imported ones). The most convenient would be of course to just use them as a custom created type. Can I somehow "convert" an external definition to a data type/message type?
    KR
    Felix

    Hello Felix,
          The External defination which you has been imported that cant use in DT and MT but yeah you can use this in Service interface.
    you cant modify that External defination if you want to do that then 1st of all modify it and then reimport it as an another external defination.
    and creating service interface with this ED you can use it in your message mapping .
    i hope this will help to you to clear your doubt.

  • Idoc type, message type and process code for EDI 940 & 945

    Hi,
    We are implementing a scenario wherein we are required to send a Wharehouse Shipping Order to the warehouse (forwarding agent) using EDI 940. The output of the o/b is triggered from the Delivery (VA01) after creation of a Delivery in SAP. Once the warehouse ships the goods, it notifies us back by sending EDI 945 (Warehouse Shipping Advice). Using this inbound 945 we are required to update the existing delivery in SAP, i.e., it should do the Pick, Pack and PGI.
    Can someone tell me which Idoc type, Message Type and Process code should be used for the above scenario.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Regards,
    Gajendra

    Hi Gajendra,
    For EDI940, you can use message type SHPORD or WHSORD,  IDOC type DELVRY01 and process code DELV.
    For EDI945, you can use message type SHPCON or WHSCON,  IDoc type DELVRY01 and process code DELV.
    Hope this will help.

  • Using same Idoc type & Message type for 2 Interfaces

    Hi all,
    we have 2 interfaces which uses same Idoc type, message type & Partner No.Only Process code is going to different according to the posting logic.
    How can we differentiate both while posting idocs to not mess up each other .
    Regards

    Hi all,
    Say example:
    Interface 1 is invoice coming from legacy system to SAP and i have to use AAA.BBB Idoc
    Interfaces 2 is accrual coming from legacy system to SAP and i have to use AAA.BBB Idoc
    So i am creating partner No with LS_LEGACY and with 2 inbound entries one for each.
    Even though i am using the same Idoc types but inside those the process codes are different because they are different in posting logic.
    Issue:
    From XI perspective i can't differentiate them saying like Invoice interface should execute the entry in the partner profile with invoice process code and accrual interface with accrual process code.
    My Idea is to design like this...
    Using the  Message Code option, While creating partner profile give the MESCODE and  in Mapping provide the same MESCODE.
    So that even thought i am using the same partner No with same message type & basis types for 2 scenarios, the right interface will trigger the right process code based on the MESCODE mentioned in mapping by carrying the control record values
    Please let me know ur views

    nhi guru's cross apps what is basic type,idoc type , message type  plz help me i am larning how to work on idocs using ale explain me like realtime environment

    Hi,
    Hi,
    i got this data from sdn .plz go thru might be helpful
    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.
    how to create idoc?
    *WE30 - you can create a IDOC type
    For more information in details on the same along with the examples can be viewed on:

    http://www.sapgenie.com/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
    For creating a IDOC u need to Create a segment type in WE31.The internal table in which we store the data to be passed to the IDOc thos fielda are defined in fieldname and data element.Save and release the segment.
    Create IDOC type in WE30. Give min and max types. Mark it as mandatory.
    Create Message type in WE81.Assign it to a change request and save it.
    Link this message type with IDOC type in WE82.
    Then start your coding and pass the details of Data and control records.
    Just have a look at these links:

    why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    what does this mean ?
    Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
    so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
    That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
    "Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

  • Activate change point for message type - message type FIDCC1 not in list

    I want to set up idoc for sending entire FI documents.
    For this I want to use the change points in the message type FIDCC1 but this message type is not in the list of transaction BD50 (neither if I go via SALE)
    I'm not allowed to add it myself, I get a warning the name is not in the namespace (Zxxx or Yxxx).
    Is there a way I can add this message type in this list?
    -> change points are generally activated
    -> ECC 600
    edit: I see the message type is in WD81
    Edited by: Renaat Vanhaverbeke on Apr 28, 2010 11:05 AM

    I found the solution: when I tried to add the message type in BD50 I got the warning the name does not match the namespace rules. But by opening the Performance Assistant I could start the transacion RDDKOR54 to display the namespace rules.
    By exiting this transaction I got the question if I want to bypass the namespace check and by answering positive on this I could save the new entry.
    PS: I also found that alle message types are defined in table EDMSG

  • IDOC type & Message type for posting GR against PO

    & how to trigger the idoc & what are the settings need to be done for this?
    Appreciate you quick responses.
    Thanks

    Hi Ramesh,
    is it not an abused thread (a litle)...   as by using google or sdn search button, in 2min you have your answer of all your questions.
    Tips: to find an IDoc type, in SAP, in WE60 or WE02, or BD87 or ..., use the search help button (F4) of field "message type" by giving the description "goodreceipt*".
    For the triggering to outbound Idoc, think to "change pointer", or eventually "change document", table CDHDR, CDPOS.
    Good search.

  • Idoc types & message  types

    hi friends,  please can  somebody  post  different  kinds of Idoc types  and  message  types  used in sd , from   sd's  point of  view. and  also  explain  giving  examples  if you could. thanks
    points will be awarded    for  sure .  thanks

    Dear Seema,
    concerning EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
    If MM-customer would like to purchase the goods then he creates the IDOC of type ORDERS and send it to SD-customer. On the SD-side the IDOC is processed via the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and creates the sales order. As confirmation the SD-side can send to MM-side the Order-Response IDOC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS). The MM-customer can every thime send a change to the existiong order, then on SD side the ORDCHG IDOC will be processed. It can change the order like in VA02. The creation of the invoice can be made via IDOC of message type INVOIC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
    So, the process can be realized completely automatically between SD and MM partners with the help of IDOCs: ORDERS, ORDCHG, ORDRSP, INVOIC.
    That's all concerning the SD-EDI.
    Additional processes in SD, where EDI are used:
    1) application of delivery schedules to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELINS
    2) creation of a delivery order to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELORD
    3) creation of external agent service delivery to scheduling agreement: IDOC of type EDLNOT
    4) creation of credit advice / credit memo in the frames of self-billing: IDOCs of type GSVERF, SBWAP and for external invoice creation SBINV.
    It is all processes which are realized in the SD module via EDI.
    There is not so much Customizing for EDI. The most entries are required by EDI for the scheduling agreement processing (DELINS, EDLNOT, SBINV). The Customizing of these processes is located in the Customizing of scheduling agreements: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Sales => Sales Documents => Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules => Control EDI Inbound processing.
    General EDI Customizing in SD is available under: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Electronic Data Interchange => EDI messages => ...
    I hope this info helps.

  • Surrogate Key and Map for Cube

    Hi
    I am new to Data Warehousing and am trying to use OWB 11g.
    I am trying to create dimensions with multiple levels. When I create more than one level it need to have surrogate as well business key for each dimension level. But I can create only one surrogate in the dimension, there is no option to create multiple surrogate keys in the same dimension. so what am I missing?
    My second question is regarding cube. Do I need to create a Mapping for a cube? if yes, should I move the data to the cube from the dimensions? and where will the measures come from? do i need to load the measures or they will be calculated automatically?
    please reply...
    regards
    Arif

    hi
    Got it, Yes that was the reason,
    The table was not properly deployed after the dimension was modified.
    Anyway, the describe of the table is as follows
    describe arif.QUESTION_DIM
    Name Null Type

    IGV_ID NUMBER
    PER_ID NUMBER

  • Basic type, Idoc type, Message type

    hi,
    can anyone please explain me the exact difference between basic type, idoc type and message type...
    Thanks in advance,
    Krish

    Hi,
    Idoc Types and the Basic Types are the same which is provided by SAP Standard Idoc Names.This will have the releases like 01, 02 ,03
    And the Message type names will be the same as Idoc type name with out releases
    The combination of the message type & Idoc type will be------CREMAS.CREMAS03( Message type.Idoc type)
    Check this Screen for better clarity , and we added some extra Segments to the standard Idoc also, so thats why it has the Extension also
