Idoc to file(TXT) scenario

Hi all,
i'm working in a idoc-to file scenario. now its working fine and the file has been written in the target directory of the receiver .but its in xml format i need to store it in a TXT format.
In the receiver communication channel configuration i used file content conversion message protocal and also mentioned the FILETYPE as text and FILEENCODING as UTF-8. i maintained content conversion parameters also.
but still i'm getting the file in a XML format. it wouldbe very helpul if anyone could solve this one.
Thanks,
Hari

Hi,
Its really surprizing the to see even after maintaining all the parameters you are getting XML output.
Can you verify the receiv er end structure of Message type

Idoc to File Split Scenario..

HI Experts,
My scenario is Idoc to File split scenario..
Idoc will be triggered from the SAP ECC system and at the target side we need to drop two text files at the ftp directory.
so Idoc data needs to be splitted and to be dropped in two differient files in the target FTP directory..
So can any one suggest how to go ahead with the scenario..
Thanks,
--Kishore.

Hi,
In the idoc, some of the data will go to onefile and some goes to other files..
the structures of the two files are differient..
There is no condinal spliting here every idoc contents should be mapped according to the requirement and dropped as two files.. at the target end.
for ex:
Idoc
field1
fileld2
field3
field4
in the out put side
file1 should contain
field1
field3
field4
file2 should contain
field1
field2
fileld3
This is what the requirement, if you are not getting reply back with your queries..
Thanks,
--Kishore..

Idoc-XI-file test scenario

i m new to XI,
i wanna make a test scenario for idoc-XI-file...
i donno what an idoc is.......
tell me how to create an idoc from the very basics....like message type, segment, partner profile, port creation, etc,..... and how to fire an idoc from the R3 system to my XI system,
and ofcourse... ican do the rest of mapping and all, with the file message type

Hi Sudeep,
1. steps for creating customized Idocs..
we31- creation of Segments
we30- creation idoc types
we81- creation of Message types
we82- assigning message type to Idoc type...
2. R/3 Configuration settings
SM59 - creation of RFC destination...
we20 - creation of Ports
We21 - Creation of Partner profiles..
3. XI Configuration settings
SM59 - Maintain RFC destination,
IDX1 - Maintaining port for XI
IDx2 - Loading the Idocstructure into metadata repository
These are the settings to be done before starting ur scenario..
I think this will help you... points...

IDOC to File - FCC scenario

Hi Friends.
Scenario is in PI 7.0 . IDOC is received from SAP and after file content conversion placed in file server.
Suddenly few days back it started throwing error in receiver file FCC communication channel - error is -
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Column value ' ' too long (>3 for 27. column) - must stop', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)': java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Column value ' ' too long (>3 for 27. column) - must stop', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)
but the same scenario with same inputs (same payload,same IR and ID configuration) works fine in development environment.
in SXMB_MONI message shows as SUCCESSFUL and payload is also OK.
Pls suggest what to do in this case..

Hi,
This is happening because - if there is any empty tag coming from source then target structure tag will not be created and because of which ur payload structure and FCC configuration is not matching.
I would recon use map with default between source n target strcture so in case source tag dont have value target structure will be created because of mapwithdegfault fuction and ur FCC will not fail.
Open SXMB_MONI output payload and compare the structre with Data type u will se for no source value target tag is not created at all and FCC is failed.
For exa- I ahve name,age,*** as my target data type and FCC is 10,3,4
If i dont receive age from source the value of *** is taken as 3 length as per FCC becus age tag is not created in target.

IDoc flat file over AS2 adapter to IDoc adapter

Hi,
The scenario is IDoc flat file(.txt) over AS2 adapter to IDoc adapter. Could anyone help on how to convert the IDoc flat file to xml in AS2 adapter to execute the mapping further? we are using PI 7.0.
Thanks in advance!
-zameer

Hi,
Since you are on Pi 7.0, you would not be able to use the modules for this in PI 7.1.
You would need to refer this document for converting from Idoc flat to XML
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In your sender AS2 adapter, you can pass the file as is to an abap mapping which will do the conversion to Idoc xml. the output of the abap mapping goes to your message mapping then for conversion.
Another option would be to use a custom adapter module in the sender AS2 adapter to call the Aabap mapping to do the conversion into Idoc xml.
The custom adapter module would do a JCO/RFC call which will do the conversion before passing the data back to the adpter module.

Idoc to File(AS2)

Hi,
I am workingon IDOC to File(AS2) scenario.
When i execute the mapping in IR it executes succesfully and gives the data in the specified File format.
but when i test the interface, i am getting the output file in IDOC format where in it has to be in XML format in SXMB_MONI.
Kindly help me wiht his.
Regards

Hi,
The sender IDoc format is displayed in moni as output -
It shows that the conversion from IDoc to File is not done. Check the communication channelat the bot sender and receiver end.
If this is not the case then check the mapping which u have selected is the right one?

IDOC to FIle (FCC)

Hi friends,
In Real time where we will normally use IDOC to File (FCC ) Scenario.
Could any one give some instance of this.

Hi,
>>>>In Real time where we will normally use IDOC to File (FCC ) Scenario.
whenever the receiver system can only handle flat files
or when the company is which we work tells us to do so
these are the only two scenarios when we will use FCC

Unable to do IDoc to File Scenario ; Please help me....

Hi Experts!!!,
I am trying to convert an IDoc to an .Txt or .Xml file, But I am un able to do it. Whenever I m trying to configure the Idoc adapter , it's not allowing me to select as "sender" (default it will be on the recvr side). Please help me in this regard.
Do I need to use RFC adapet, or BAPI instead of IDoc or any other way..to complete IDoc to File scenario...
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Sunil K Shetty.

HI,
No need to use Sender Idoc adapter , default , IDoc adapter resides on Integration Engine. No sender communication channel and sender agreement also

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.
