Idoc to Flat File doing Append

Hi All,
We have a scenario where we have to receive an Idoc from SAP and then map it into a flat file to a third party using FTP protocol in File adapter.
The main idea is to collect all the idocs generated each day and append it into the same target file during all the day so when a new day is coming XI should have to create a new file and start appending the data into it.
Is this possible to do with XI sp14?
Thanks in advance.

hi
yes u can do this. check for the blog on idoc collection:
Collecting idoc's without BPM refer this blog,/people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm
Also, Just check the following two weblogs.
/people/prasadbabu.nemalikanti3/blog/2006/02/24/collecting-and-bundling-vendor-records-from-different-multiple-interfaces-file-systempeoplesoft-and-sending-to-sap-r3-system-part-1

Here i doubt of performance issues. Maybe u can collect the idocs in one file as and when it reaches xi and u can have another interface scheduled at the end of day that will transfer the file content to another file (appended)

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.

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

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??

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 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.

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.

Reoccurring Nodes with IDOC to Flat File

Hi there
I am trying to create a comma seperated file from idoc to flat file with FCC.
My structure looks like this:
StructureNode - (1TO1)
--SubNode1 - (1TO1)
Element1
--Subnode2 - (1ToMany)
ElementA
ElementB
ElementC
ElementD
My FCC is as follows:
Recordset Structure = StructureNode
StructureNode.fieldNames = SubNode1, SubNode2
StructureNode.fieldSeparator = ,
SubNode1.fieldSeparator = ,
SubNode2.fieldSeparator = ,
My problem is the flafile only has the ElementA for each occurence.
Ex. if my sample source file looks like this:
<StructureNode>
<SubNode1>
<Element1>Test</Element1>
</SubNode1>
<Subnode2>
<ElementA>A001
<ElementB>B002
<ElementC>C003
<ElementD>D004
</Subnode2>
<Subnode2>
<ElementA>A005
<ElementB>B006
<ElementC>C007
<ElementD>D008
</Subnode2>
<Subnode2>
<ElementA>A009
<ElementB>B010
<ElementC>C011
<ElementD>D012
</Subnode2>
</StructureNode>
My output will look like this:
Test,A001,A005,A009
Its missing B, C and D?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Regards,
Jan

Your content conversion should look like
Recordset Structure = SubNode1,Subnode2
SubNode1.fieldSeparator = ,
SubNode2.fieldSeparator = ,
As this is receiver content conversion, no need to mention fieldNames.
Also deault endSeparator is newline. If it is anything else, mention it explicitly

IDoc to Flat File in SAP PI 7.11

Hi Experts,
I am working on PI 7.11 and I have scenario from Idoc to Flat File.
Idoc is posted from source side R/3 system.My requirement is "With out Converting the Idoc structure to XML Structure i want to send the data to Target system i.e. File system.
But the structure of the target structure is different from source structure.
My questions are:
1). Is it Possible to send the data to Target system without converting Idoc structure in to xml format through our PI 7.11 ?
2). If possible please provide me the way that executes in the Interface is?
Could you please provide the Inputs.

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!
br
Göran

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 mapping using XSLT

Hi,
i am using XSLT mapping. my requirement is mapping between idoc and flat file(xml to text). as i do not want to use FCC, i have opted for xslt mapping. please let me know any article which would be helpful for this.
regards,
Meenakshi

Hi Meenakshi,
Two things:
1. Achieving this functionality using XSLT is very difficult.
2. Secondly you may not be able to find a direct document to convert IDoc-XML to flat file using XSLT in sdn. Try google.
I found one link like that may be you can get some idea from there
http://www.stylusstudio.com/SSDN/default.asp?action=9&read=6453&fid=48
Also if you have a XSLT editor like XMLSPY or stylus studio then creating your specific XSLT will b much more simpler

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.

I am able to generate the PO Idoc in Flat file format using standrad FM IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS. but the Flat file appearing is not in a appropriate format.
I'm looking to generate the Flat file in such a way that there will be only one line for each Idoc Segment.( with Line termination).
How to Achieve this.
