Hi Experts,
What all the important information we have to gather from client to do the IDOC to File(SML) scenario?
Thanks & Regards

Hii
Check this blog on IDOC to File. It states step by steps procedure for IDOC-File scenario:
Introduction to IDoc-XI-File scenario and complete walk through for starters.
In this blog u ll get information.

Setup for IDoc-XI-File scenario

Hi All,
Please provide info where can I find, step by step documentation for the basic setup on R/3 and XI areas, before start developing IDoc-XI-File or File-XI-IDoc scenarios.
Thank you,
Sree

Hi,
While doing an IDOC -> XI -> File scenario, The Points to noted are:
1. You dont need a DT, MT or a message interface for the IDOC as it itself acts as the Message Interface.
2. You import the IDOC and use the same in your mapping.
3. In this configuration note that you dont have a sender agreement as you dont have a sender IDOC adapter.
If it is that you wanted to send an IDOC from XI (File to IDOC) , then in this case:
points 1 and 2 will remain, but the 3 will not. You will need a sender agreement for the file and a receiver agreement for the IDOC.

(It concentrates on XSLT mapping but also gives an idea about the configuration part. Do go thru that, it might help you.)
To be able to trigger your IDOC from the SAP ISU system, you will have to set the partner profile in we20. Select your Business System (mostly under Logical system) and then create Outbound entries for whichever IDOC you want to trigger.
You define your basic type also in your partner profile settings, Please go thru the following links to get a better idea about partner profile:

Idoc to file scenario which involves accessing a persistant counter value

Hi,
Presently Iam dealing with an idoc to file scenario in which I need to map the idoc info and also a persistant counter value to a flat file. So in how many ways can we maintain a persistant counter value(either by variable/file/database)? Please can any one help me in overcoming this scenario by providing any implemented example.

Hi,
Please see the following links , you can use database is best.

Testing of Idoc to file scenario

Hi Gurus,
I have completed the Idoc to file scenario, But how should I test the whole scenario??!!
Because of my functional guy is absent for this week and I do want to test my scenario, whether its working properly or not??!!
Note: As I knew, we19 tcode, it asks some Idoc number and other info to do the same.. could you please help me out?!!
Thanks.,
Stallin

Hi
Just for testing purpose..you can use WE19..
First goto transaction WE02 and put Basic type : MATMAS03 as filter criteria, change your creation date to select little old idocs and run...on next screen your will see number of idocs "MATMAS03" with green status(if there is any in that period..otheriwse change period again).
Then goto WE19 and put existing idoc number in the field existing idoc and and presss F8...On next screen press "Standard outbound processing".
Can also use we19 and change control record ( Double click in EDIDC segment) to your sender / recever partner profile.. and run
Thanks

Idoc-xi-file scenario. how to display file in html format

I am not sure whether this is a valid question.........but want to confirm as it was asked by somebody
In idoc-xi-file scenario....... how to display file in html format ??
Thanks in advance

Hi Vijayakumar,
Thanks for your reply !! You mean to say I got to use XSLT mapping and also .htm and .html extension together to produce the html file ?? or it is sufficient to use any one of them to produce the html file ??

In idoc to file scenario, if XI system is down where do idocs pile up?

In idoc to file scenario, if XI system is down where do idocs pile up (get stuck)
what tcode can I use to reprocess it?

Sender System ,Check BD87 .. you will see alll the IDOCs in Yellow state ..
You can reprocess all the IDOCs in go from there .. if only they are in yellow state ...

FIle Content Conversion Problem in IDOC-XI-File Scenario

Dear All,
I am doing IDOC-XI-FILE scenario.
I am facing one problem related to File Content Coversion.My requirement was to generate a dynamic file like %store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut , But I am unable to suppress it Can some body provide me the details on this .
The output xml version generated by Reciever file adapter is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
Plz provide me the code I have to write in the file content conversion .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prabhat

If u see my earlier reply, I mentioned that u can not suppress the field from the one node.i.e Form SITE_DATA data type u can not suppress the field called CURRENT_DATE.
My suggestion is that , modify the Data type in such a way that you will be having two nodes as I have mentioned earlier. Then use the Suppress Logic for the Current Date.
So it will look like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
<CURR_DATE>
<CURRENT_DATE>20051105</CURRENT_DATE>
</CURR_DATE>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
So ur SITE_DATA is not having a field called CURRENT_DATE. This field is in separate node (segment ) called CURR_DATE. Now u can use the Suppress Logic for the same like this.
CURR_DATE.fieldFixedLengths - 0
CURR_DATE.fixedLengthTooShortHanling - Cut
And in your Variable Substitution you can use the date from the other segment called CURR_DATE.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Moorthy

Error/Doubts in Idoc-XI-File scenario

Dear All,
I am doing one scenario in which DELIVERY idoc is posted from R/3 to XI and then from XI that idoc is to be sent as flat file to one local folder.
For this scenario, I have done all ALE settings and I am able to see the idoc in XI in cXML format.Now I want to sent it as flat file.
Now, for doing this I created 2 BS & 2 TS. 1 BS & TS of type Third Party for receiver & 1 BS & TS are of type Web as ABAP for sender. Then I have created one namespace in IR. I have not created any DT, MT, MI, MM becoz the structure of source and target file are same. Now, I created one IM in which I specified specified Type as "ABAP Class" & Mapping program name as one of the Z function module as specified in one of the SAP Guides.
Then in ID, I created 2 Parties ie. one for Sender & one for receiver. Sender is having a communication channel of type Idoc & receiver is having communication channel of type File. And thn further Receiver Agreement, Inetrface Determination, Sender Agreement & Receiver Agreement are configured.
In my system there is one scenario already configured which is using Delivery idoc so I have used party in my scenario for both sender & receiver.
Now, when I am sending the idoc from R/3, I am able to see cXML in SXMB_MONI but it is taking receiver as the one which is defined for the already existing scenario but not the receiver defined by me.
Can anybody guide if I have followed the correct steps & where I am doing the error.
Warm Regards,
N.Jain

Integration server as logical system in IDoc to file scenario

Hi,
Will we configure integration server as logical system in IDoc to file scenario or the RFC destination related to the port will be suffice?
For which logical system will the outbound partner profile configured?
Regards,
Gajendra.

Hello,
I feel that the RFC destination linked to the port is the key here.
Because the scenario (IDoc to File) works in both the cases:
Case 1: Used the logical system as Integration server
Case 2: Used the logical system related to the file (third party) in the SLD.
In both the above cases the RFC destination points to the integration server.
Is this the case that in the XI scenarios (where IDoc are sent) the logical system name in the partner profile is just dummy and has not much significance??
It is the port that matters and once the Idoc reaches XI the routing takes place based on the configuration in ID.
Thanks.
Regards,
Gajendra.

How to suppress the Acknowledgement Error in IDOC to File scenario?

Hi -
I got the status in SXMB_MONI as 'Processed Successfully' for the IDOC to File scenario but the Acknoledgement status throws an error saying 'Acknowledgement not possible'.
I read one of the documents in the forums on how to suppress the acknowledgement using a table on R/3 side using IDXNOALE,
i tried that option but i still get the 'Acknowledgement not possible' error.
Is there any other way to suppress this error?
Thanks,
Tirumal

Hi Tirumal,
Receiver adapters that run on the Adapter Engine support system acknowledgments if they are requested by the sender. Acknowledgements are triggered when a message is successfully processed by the adapter or if an error occurs while it is being processed. Receiver adapters do not support application acknowledgments. The RNIF and CIDX adapters are exceptions to this rule, since they also support scenario-dependent application acknowledgments. Sender adapters of the Adapter Engine do not request any acknowledgments.
This means, JDBC adapter does only send system acks, however IDoc adapter is requesting application acks. Therefore as mentioned by the previous poster, you have to disable acks for this scenario using report IDX_NOALE.
Also go through these documents for any further help:

IDOC to file scenario

Hi Experts,
In IDOC to file scenario i did in this way.
1)created logical system.
2)Using SALE tcode I assign logical system to client ,created RFC destination,Port and Partner's profile.
It is showing all the thing correct.
3) In XI system , I configured using IDX1 and IDX2.
Then I created the material and checked the status which is green in we05.
But in tcode IDX5, the material is not coming.
Here I am confused that why data is not coming to XI system.
can anyone help me?
Thanks
Rabi

Hi,
The Following are the Possible checks
1) Check in R/3 side SMQ1 & SMQ2
2) Check in R/3 side SM58
   In R/3 system, Goto SM58 tcode and see if the IDOC have stuck up in Queue.
   If the entry is available then select it and press F6, to push it manually.
    This happens normally if IDOC stuck up in queues.
3) Check in PI SMQ2 and IDX5

ganesh.

PI 7.1 scenario -- File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenario

Hi All,
*I have PI 7.0 . I have in that File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenarios*
File to File -- This scenario is working fine.
File to IDOC -- Setting done in PI 7.0 like SM59, IDXI, IDX2 and in R/3 like SALE (logical system)--- This scenario is working fine.
IDoc to File -- Seeting done in R/3 like SALE (Logical system, Distrubtion Model (Port, Partner Profile)) -- This scenario is working fine.
Now I need to move to PI 7.1 -- for File to File , File to IDOC and IDoc to File Scenarios.
Please let me know do I require to make any changes in Design and Configuration and settings in PI 7.1 and R/3 for above scenarios or it will work fine as it is already working for PI 7.0
If changes are required please let me know what changes to do for each scaenario and pls also send blogs for that.
Regards

If there is no metadata maintained for an idoc type, the metadata for that idoc type gets loaded when an idoc of that type is received by PI for the first time. If you are looking at loading metadata of all idoc types before the first run, its really not required. Just make sure that the port is configured properly. Although, there is no harm in preloading the metadata using IDX2.
You need to use IDX2 mandatorily when the the metadata changes and the metadata in ECC and PI is different. In that case, you need to delete metadata for the changed IDoc type and then either you can update the metada through IDX2 or let the system take care of.

Why we dont need sender agreement and comm channel in IDOC to file scenario

Hi,
there are 2 queries:
first query :
Scenario is "Idoc to file transfer"
why we dont need sender agreement and communication channel for IDOC to file ,while we do need
both of these for "File to RFC "
Answer : which i got is because IDOC sits at ABAP stack but same is valid for RFC also.
Then why For "IDOC to file" we dont need that.
Second query:
Also when i did scenario for File1-RFC-File2 scenario using BPM i have created a interface
between XI-RFC synchronous to send data which we got from file1 in XI to RFC importing parameter
and getting data from RFC back to File2.
Here in IDOC to file scenario why we dont need any interfface for IDOC-XI Asynchronous.

Mayank

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.
