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,
N.Jain

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,

  • 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!

    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.

  • IDoc to Flat file scenario - abap mapping

    Hi All,
    I have to do some IDOC to Flat file scenarios. In Order to generate the file in required format I will have to add all segments(Nodes) of Idoc in FCC receiver. We also have other option of doing it through ABAP Mapping which I found in one blog.
    Now my question is : Is it better way of doing it through FCC or ABAP Mapping?
    Ofcourse from development point of view ABAP Mapping looks easier as FCC is very time consuming task.
    Is there and performance issues in either of the approach?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Atul

    Hi VJ and Harald,
    Thanks for your replies.
    I am not having PI7.1 however the given blog was very informative.
    I will try using file port approach as suggested.

  • IDOC to Flat file scenario

    Hi
    I am mapping from a IDOC to a flat structure.
    Source side segments can repeat - based upon some other criteria like highest date - mapping is done to the target fields.
    Problem is - sometimes the IDOC tags for some fields on which I have mapping - is not present - as in Source SAP - this field is blank.
    In the mapping - sort by key is failing - as date field ( key) and the source field might be different in queue length - in such cases where source side xml tag is missing.
    I know - node function if exists is there - and a empty tag can be created if case xml tag is missing - but I can not use that as a lot of context is used. I really can not go to the lowest context to check if that field is present or not.
    Does anybody have any quick java code for creating empty tags if not present or any other solution for this problem?

    Hi Bhavesh,
    Normally mapWithDefault would work .
    But as from my message above, I have already tried this and this does not work if we are using mapWith Default, Context changes , Sort by key for a particular field.
    Need to sort based on values on a higher context.
    Empty nodes cause an issue as Queues have different lengths.
    Also, mapWithDefault has to be applied to every field. There should be a better way if you have 100s of fields on the source message.
    Empty tags (nodes) should  be added (filled) in one go for all fields.
    Hoping a quick response.
    Thanks,
    Sudhin

  • Develop IDOC to FLAT FILE

    Hi friends,
    I need help do develop a new interface using IDOC -> FLAT FILE scenario.

    In found only XML file formats, i need FLAT FILE.
    Thanks,

    new interface using IDOC -> FLAT FILE scenario.
    idoc to flat file scenario is very simple but you have to provide FCC Parameters in Receiver File Communication channel based on target structure and remain ecvery thing is same what was you found idoc to xml scenario.

  • Packaging IDOCs - SAP R3(IDOCs) - XI - Flat File

    Hi,
    I've got the scenario SAP R3(IDOCs) -> XI -> Flat File.
    The IDOCs are sent from R3 with the Option Send by Packet. There is 10 Idocs per packet.
    What I want to do is create one flat file for each packet.
    So one packet of 10 Idocs must create 1 flat file.
    Is it possible to do that whithout BPM ?

  • Idoc to flat file using Integration process does not show up at all

    Hello All,
    I created a scenario IDOC to Flat File using Integration Process and one without IntegrationProcess. I am able to execute the one without Integration Process easily.
    However when I send the IDOC from SAP then the Integration Process scenario just does not work.
    I Checked SXMB_MONI  There is no entry for the Integration Process.I can see entry for other without Integration Process.
    SXI_CACHE : I can see my Integration Process active
    SWEQADM :  I have activated the Event Queue and Background job
    SWF_XI_ADM_BPE :  ALL BPE is showing green status.
    All syntax check on IP are fine.
    There is no Basis Help for me so  there could be some additional basis steps which need to be configured.  Has anyone faced such an issue with Integration Process?
    Regards
    Prashanta

    Hope this might help you. when u configure an IDoc as Sender with BPM this is how you proceed.
    <b>1<b>. let us split the scenario into two</b>.</b>
    a. <b>Sender to BPM</b> ( Integration Process).
    b. <b>BPM to Receiver</b>.
    <b>2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.</b>
    a. Sender Agreement( <b>Not required</b> ).
    b. Receiver Agreement( <b>NOT Required</b>).
    c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(<b>Integration Process</b>).
    d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
    <b>3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.</b>
    a. Sender Agreement( <b>NOT Required</b>)
    b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(<b>Integration process</b>), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver service, Inbound Interface).
    c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service(Integration Process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver Service).
    d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface, Message Mapping(<b>NOT Required</b>)).
    So Finally we have <b>One Receiver Agreement</b>, <b>Two Receiver Determinations</b>, <b>Two Interface Determinations</b>.
    Please let me know if you have any more queries.

  • IDOC to flat file without XML conversion

    Hi,
    I want to implement a scenario like this:
    IDOC --> XI --> flat file
    The flat file has to have the IDOC structure as you have when you write an IDOC to the R/3 file port. But we want to have this process running through XI.
    When you use the IDOC Adapter the IDOC is converted to XML first, which is time consuming. So this I want to skip this step.
    So is it possible to receive the IDOC directly in XI without converting it to XML? How should this process be designed.
    Ron

    Ron
    Looks like you need IDOC tunneling. It is possible by making a configuration parameter.
    You can find more information in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ab/bdb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/content.htm
    While you try it, I will try to simulate this requirement in our system and let you know the result.

  • How to convert IDOC to flat file in XI

    Hello SDNers
    I have a scenario IDOC --> XI  --> Flat file. My question is how to conver IDOC to flat file. At least there are two ways to do that:
    1) Define a flat structure in PI that reflects the IDOC structure, then using content conversion to convert the flat structure to flat file in hte receiver communication channel.
    2) There is a [document |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a] talking about using a generic ABAP mapping to map any IDOC to flat file.
    For the option 1, I don't want that way, because I would need to define a flat structure in PI for each IDOC which is too much effort. (I would have dozens of IDOC scenarios)
    The second one is very attractive. However the document is not complete to follow. Basically it does not explain how the inbound flat structure looks like. I guess the generic ABAP mapping is used to map any IDOC_XML structure to a flat structure, then in the file receiver communication channel to convert the flat structure to flat file format. But the document does not mention how the flat structure looks like. Has somebody tried this scenario? If yes, can you please let me know the steps to do in ESR (IR) and ID? Basically what structure the IDOC_XML should be mapped to using the generic ABAP mapping class?
    Or somebody has other ideas on how to convert IDOC to flat file?
    Thank you so much
    Eric

    > 1) You are saying that for Java mapping and abap mapping, the target data type (messag type) is just a dummy one, the real (XML) message the receiver will recieve is the one (stream) produced by the java or abap mapping. Is that correct?
    Definitely yes!
    >
    > 2) For the abap mapping option, I would define a dummy target data type. Do I need to do any content conversion in the receiver adapter (communication channel)?
    None wat so ever.The output of your Java Mapping will be the Native Idoc Format.
    >
    > 3) I tried with a dummy target data type as mentioned in my second post, can you see any clue in the error message what is wrong?
    Dats one thing I cant help much. Just make sure that the ABAP report is valid and take the help of a ABAP'er to debug what is going wrong. Not much of a ABAP guy, can read ABAP code, but cant write one myself
    Try to test the program standalone to see how it works. Maybe take some Idoc XML file as input and then dump the output to a .txt file and so on.
    Regards
    Bhavesh
    PS : All this is from what I have read of this guide. I have not convert Idoc XML to Native Idoc but have used this guide to convert Native Idoc to Idoc XML .

    Hi,
    You have to MessageTransformBean Module.
    The MessageTransformBean module enables conversion of XML files to flat files and vice versa. You can use this module in the sender and receiver communication channels.
    In receiver communication channel, specify MessageTransformBean module before standard adapter module CallSapAdapter and use
    Module Name: localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
    Module Key : XML2Plain
    Please see the below links, it might be useful to you.
