How to IDOC-to-2 files

hi, i have an scenario that receive and IDOC and create two flat files. I did it using two BS and two Communication channels. but possible create my two flat file using one BS and one CC??
Regards
Rodrigo Pertierra

u will also be able to create two different files using one communication channel. this is possible using dynamic file naming. but if u want to have that stored in two different servers then it is possible to have created two BS. split mapping might be used here in this reference.
u may refer to:

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

How to Split Single Idoc into 2 files and put some delay

Hi,
I have a IDoc to file Scenario. Invoice Idoc to Flat file scenario
this is a reuse Interface
Current Scenario we have graphical mapping(used for lookup and dynamic filename, mostly all the field mappings are 1-1) and ABAP Mapping to convert Idoc to flat file, 1 Idoc will generate 1 file.
In addition to the above case, there is 1 more requirement
Correction Invoice case. where in I get single Idoc with Multiple Item categories (Original data and Correction data)
In this case always I need to send two files(2 Idoc data), first Idoc is for Original Idoc and 2nd is Corrected Invoice, these 2 idocs should be sent with some delay.
In Correction Invoice case, I should generate 2 idocs based on Item category (PSTVY) value.
Suppose I have 4 E1EDP01 segments out of which PSTVY has value "AA" and "BB" repeated twice as shown below
<PSTYV>AA</PSTYV>
<PSTYV>AA</PSTYV>
<PSTYV>BB</PSTYV>
<PSTYV>BB</PSTYV>
So I need to generate 2 Idoc 1 for AA and other for BB.
If there is no correction Invoice, 1 idoc for 1 file will be generated.
Am planning to use BPM to delay the idocs and identigy bpm based on Document type else no bpm...
How do I split the mapping of single Idoc to 2 files based on Item category.
Thanks,
Varun

You can use the multi-mapping to split the message payloads according to business requirement (AA and BB segments values)
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
And then send to different receivers by adding the conditions on the Receiver Determination (for example, "field = AA" go to Receiver1, and "field = BB" to to Receiver2).

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 .

How To Convert IDOC to FLAT File ?

Dear Expert,
        My requirement is to convert the IDOC to FLAT File using XI. How can i do this. I have gone thru the Guide How to convert IDOC to Flat file using ABAP mapping but it does not talk about what are all the stpes i need to do in IR & ID.
I am ready to use ABAP mapping since i am an ABAPER.
         Is it recommended to use ABAP mapping since we expect daily 500 IDOCs to be converted to a flat file & transfer this flat file to some FTP location.
         Can anybody tell me the stpes how to do this in XI. The steps i am expecting like how to define the Data Type / Message type / Mapping etc & how to configure the channel ?
         The Flat file i want to convert should look like the way IDOC file gets created in FILE FTP port in SAP.
Regards,
Umesh

I think there is some confusion... Let me explian my problem once again.
I want to convert the Shipment IDOC as it is the moment the shipment documents gets created in R/3. I dont want to collect many IDOCs & make as single file. For each IDOC it should create a Flat File.
Secondly if i have to MAP the whole IDOC the graphical mapping is too difficult.
So instead of that can i use ABAP/XSLT/JAVA whichever is easy. ?
Since i am ABAPER i can use ABAP mapping.
The Output file should look like as below.

IDOC writing to file takes a while.

Hello, I would like to request if anyone can advice how can we analyze why the creation or writing of an IDOC to a file takes a long while, say it takes 15 minutes to be created. Wherein in production system, it only take 1 or 2.
Thanks very much and appreciate the help!

Yes, actually that is the problem. In an example idoc, below is the technical info for the idoc, it took 15 minutes to create the file.
Time of creation
Date                   08.11.2011
Time                   10:35:30
Last database update
Date                   08.11.2011
Time                   10:50:26
Can you advice how can we know or check the background processing? or is there a way? thanks.

How IE works for flat file

Hi all:
As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name if there is only a flat file on FTP? how IE works for Flat file ?
Couldn't thank you more

Hi,
For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
Is that answer your question?

IDOC to xml file

hi,
my name is avinash.i m new to xi.i have few qs regarding it.
1.what is third party?
2.what are adapters?where are they located?
3.what is IDOC?
4.how is IDOC converted to xml file?
pls reply.its urgent.

Hi avinash s ,
>>1.what is third party?
third party is middleware or intermediate software which takes data from sender & transfers to a reciever in his understandable format.
For Example
Suppose think that there r 3 different people who speak different languages.
Say User A understands french language,
       User B understands french , german, english language
       User C understands german language
& User A and C want 2 communicate . Hence their languages r different they can't understand. If they take the help of User B, He undertands the language of User A & converses to User C in german.
User B is the 3rd Party here.
This example can be viewed in terms of systems who r having different platforms & they want 2 exchange messages with each other.
Examples of 3rd party include:
TIBCO,XI,EDI.....
>> 2.what are adapters?where are they located?
Adapters enable communication between the XI integration engine and an application system. This leads to the compatibility between heterogeneous systems.Adapters convert the XI protocol (SOAP with attachments over HTTP) to the protocol spoken by the application system and vice-versa.The key purpose of XI is to integrate heterogeneous systems and adapters are the key enabler to achieving this goal
Adapter Categories
Application adapters provided by SAP (IDoc and RFC) and 3rd party vendors (Seeburger, Siebel, Oracle, ...)
Technical adapters relate to specific protocols
File systems (FTP / File)
RDBMS systems (JDBC)
Messaging systems (JMS)
Web services (SOAP)
Mail servers (SMTP)
SAP Business Connector
Marketplaces
Industry standard adapters
RosettaNet
CIDX
The Adapter Engine
The XI Adapter engine is the home of the majority of the XI adapters. Only the IDoc adapter and the plain HTTP adapter do not reside on the adapter engine. They reside on the Integration Server.
It is fully integrated in to the XI landscape with tools provided for configuration, logistics and monitoring. It's Adapter Framework is based on the JCA.
SAP XI requires an adapter framework to communicate outside of the SAP system. These adapters translate code from external applications to an XML message for NetWeaver processes using the Java Connector Architecture.It is a part of the Adapter Engine, which provides interfaces for configuring, managing, and monitoring adapters.
The following r good websites which give complete overview of Adapter:

IDOC to flat File----Problem in File Content Conversion at receiver

hi experts,
I am doing a IDOC to flat file secnario.
My requirment is IDOCXI-Flat file
Format of flat file is like:--
Every segment in the IDOC will be converted into a single line of file(without any delimiter). So number of lines in flat file will be equal to number of segments in IDOC.
I am facing problem in File Content conversion.
Please help me out..
Thanks
Jaideep

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.
1. let us split the scenario into two.
a. Sender to BPM ( Integration Process).
b. BPM to Receiver.
2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.
a. Sender Agreement( Not required ).
b. Receiver Agreement( NOT Required).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(Integration Process).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.
a. Sender Agreement( NOT Required)
b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(Integration process), 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(NOT Required)).
So Finally we have One Receiver Agreement, Two Receiver Determinations, Two Interface Determinations.
Please let me know if you have any more queries.

File-to-IDoc, but the file structure is equal to the IDoc structure

hi,
we have a scenario where the incoming message has to be picked up by FTP. The incoming message is a flat file, no delimiters, no separators, nothing, however is exactly the IDoc structure.
Since the file adapter does not know how the structure is set up, because no tags are present, it can not translate the filestructure into any format. Therefore it can not be processed further.
Is there a way for a fileadapter to convert this plain file to an IDoc format, or to call the file-to-IDocadapter up front, the same way as if you would use in SAP the fileport in IDoc processing ??
thanks!

Hi Alexander,
XI understands ONLY XML. All messages to and from XI are always XML messages.
Now, if the file being placed by your Legacy System is not going to be an XML file, then you can use the content conversion of your sender File adapter to convert this non XML file to an XML file.
Same way, if the file that is required by your 3rd party application should not be in a XML format, you can use content conversion of the receiver adapter to convert XML to text and so on.
Basic point, all messages that reach the inegration engine of XI need to be in XML format and so you need content conversion to conevrt non xml to xml and vice versa.
To make note mapping cannot be performed with a flat file as XI understands only XML. Hence content conversion required.
Please go thru these links for step by step procedure to do the same:

IDOC to EDI file in PI 7.0. ( exchange infrastructure)

i have to do one application
SAP ECC 6.0 -> SAP XI -> Non SAP File Server
Non SAP file server accepts only .edi format files.
m trying IDOC to File scenario. IDOC generated is not giving exact EDI format which needs to send. How to transfer EDI format file from this scenario.
if its done by file content conversion, pls describe more.
eg . file output(.edi file) should be in below form
EDI_DC40 100000000000027837646C 3012 O
E2EDK01005 100000000000027837600000100000001 XSEK 5.23120

Hi,
There are two ways:
1. You can find out if an EDI provider (3rd party) which supports XML EDI Messages so you can just send XML EDI messages You can use Seeburger Adapter to conver into EDI Format.
In general , If sender side is File the that file must be generated by EDI mappers tool like BIC.
If file is in receiver side you have to use some Adapter to conver into EDI format.
-you can use FILE/FTP Adapter with Seeburger modules.
-you can use Seeburger OFTP Adapter.
See the following documents to help you ..

2. You can use EDI 834 Enrollment messages with XI you don't need an adapter - you can use adapter module:
a) you can develop the adapter module for file adapter yourself
for one message it will ont be that difficult
b) you can use SAP conversion agent to create the EDI adapter module
(it has many EDI messages included)

IDOC to flat file and vice versa

Dear community,
we should send IDOCs to flat files and read plain files and map them to IDOCs.
Is there any comfortable way to do this without doing a huge content conversion for
IDOCs? Exist a SAP standard for such process?
We receive the IDOC as normal IDOC. Would it be more easy to save the IDOCs
directly as flat file on ERP file system??
System PI 7.11
IDOCS: WHSCON, WHSORD and WMMBXY
Regards
Chris

Hey folks!
We have a PI 7.31 SPS5 Java-only installation here and are using the module IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor. For single IDocs with one line for the EDC_DC40 header and the others for the IDoc payload the conversion works. But when we want to process multiple IDocs from the same type within one file, we see this error in the log:
Module Exception 'com.sap.aii.af.idoc.exception.IDOCModuleException: No data segments for DOCNUM = ' found, cause: <null>
Are there any requirements how the multiple IDocs have to be structured within the file?
Best regards
Heinrich
Update:
I found out that the module wants each record to contain the corresponding DOCNUM to find the matching records. The non-SAP sender system normally does not set this value. Is there a way to "convince" the module to convert the IDocs nevertheless?

IDOC to (multiple) file design help

Hi all,
i am trying to do a IDOC to multiple file scenario.
Requirement:
An outbound idoc has 4 segments.
now i want the output of first 2 segments in one file and second 2 segments in another file.
How to approach this design (without BPM).
Waiting for reply,
Senthilprakash.

Hi,
Use multimapping (use external definition of Idoc in source side) in which target message occurance should be 0..unbounded.
write one UDF like below
for(int i=1;i<=4;i++)
 if(i==2||i==4){
 result.addValue("");;
 so that it will split the target structure 2 time(when i=2 and i=4). so that you map all the source fields to target fields(all one to one mapping except UDF).
start doing this so that you will get the required output easily.
thanks,
madhu

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

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.
