IDOC to Flatfile

Hello expert!
I have created a IDOC and now i want to pump the data from my IDOC to flat file! Is this possible? If Yes, please let me know how to do this and mail me to [email protected]
Thanks in Advance,
MLN

Hi,
Use the function module IDOCS_OUTPUT_TO_FILE.
There are other FM also available to send the data from IDOC to different systems.
IDOCS_OUTPUT_TO_INTERNET
IDOCS_OUTPUT_TO_OWN_FUNCTION
IDOCS_OUTPUT_TO_R2
IDOCS_OUTPUT_TO_R3

Idoc to flatfile and mail

Hello,
I have a scenario where i am converting the idoc to file and mailing the same after converting it to flatfile .I have used TransformMessageBean for doing so.Now I need to implement the TO Field (mail )dynamically based on the payload.
I tried to use the MultiMapping by using mail definition provided by XI ,but it results in mapping error.\
Can somebody guide me on this.
Thanks in Advance
Rajesh

Hello,
I have tried to do the same with the MessageTransformBean and two features are working fine independently.
1. Converted the file into Flatfile and mail
2. Execute the XSL Mapping for dynamic receiver.
Now i want to combine both above features i.e after transforming the content to flatfile ,i need to sent this file to recipient based on payload field.
I tried to execute the same but i am stuck at XSLT error ,saying
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error in XSLT Conversion: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 48, 44, 52(:main:, row:1, col:3):

It works to write an xml file into directory, as soon as I use FCC in order to generate txt-file, no file is written
--->
use
Recordset structure: header,item
In receiver FCC, do not specify occurrences in recordset structure
Also fieldNames parameter is also not required.

Idoc to FlatFile and Flatfile to Mail

Hi all,
I want to convert an Idoc into a FlatFile - this is no problem. But when the FlatFile is created I want to send the FlatFile via EMail as an attachment.
How do I do this using Mail-Adapter ?
I also thought to use an Unix Command to send the Email. With the file adapter it is possible to execute an Unix Command after the File was created.
What is the better solution. And which Unix Commad do I have to use to send email (using SMPT).
Many thanks.
Elko

hi elko,
for sending a flat file as mail u use receiver mail adapter. so ur scenario will be file sender -- xi-- mail receiver.
for this refer:

Scenario IDoc-XI-FlatFile

Hi,
I am trying to Push Idoc from SAP R/34.7 to Flat File thru XI.Message Type is HRMD_ABA.The Idoc is forwarding successfully from SAP R/3,But I am not able see the details and Idoc in XI at all even though in sxmb_moni as well as at Message Display Tool.Earlier i have forwarded so many Idoc's like MATMAS01-04,CREMAS,Customized Idoc's etc to the Flat File Successfully and monitored at XI.This time i am not able to monitor even at XI.Ne messages are displaying.
Plz tell me how to resolve this issue..

#'s coming up in IDOC when IDOC flatfile processed with RSEINB00

Hi,
We have given IDOCs in flatfile structure which are needed to be loaded in backend SAP R/3 through XI and it needs some transformation,so we are using XI for mapping in between,otherwise we would have processed directly into R3.
Basically we are placing IDOC Flatfile in a folder and we are running RSEINB00 program on XI through a file port in XI and IDOCS are getting created in Backend SAP R/3.
When we place IDOC flatfile in Windows folder and process the file we are getting #s in IDOC fileds(many fields) ,but we don't see any #s when we process the IDOC flatfile when placing IDOC flatfile on UNIX .Our XI/PI is running on UNIX.
please help,what causing the problem?
Thank you,
Regards,
Sathish

Hi Ravi kanth,
I see them (#s)in IDOC fields in backend SAP R/3 once the IDOC flatfile got processed.
as we are running RSEINB00 report on XI ,we noticed that empty tags are coming (from Windows OS Folder)in SXMB_MONI even before my mapping execution ,I think they are being populated as # in IDOC.but dont see this problem when IDOC file processed from UNIX folder.
You think ,if we save file in UTF-8 format or Binary might help rather than ANSI format and process it.
Thank you,
Sathish

Best approach to read IDOC flatfiles using XI in mass number

Hi,
We have a requirement like, we will be provided with IDOC PO flatfile structures(Exactly same as IDOC,but in flatfile format) .
We have to read those flafiles and create POs in our SAP system.
please note there is no sender system,will be provided with IDOC structured flatfiles and receiving system is SAP,so I can use IDOC adapter on the recv side.We can use file adapter with FCC ,but as file adapter cannot support multiple heirarchies,I cannot go for sender File Adapter to read those files.
so what is the best approach to do this interface using XI?
thank you in advance.
..Sri

Hi
You could refer the below link for reference
If you need XI to convert IDOC XML format to IDOC Flat format, refer to:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how%20to%20convert%20between%20idoc%20and%20xml%20in%20xi%203.0.pdf
https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001795162005E/HowToIDocXMLToFlat.pdf
(Section 3.2 of the how to guide mentions how to "Convert a flat file representation of an IDoc to IDoc-XML" !!!)
Converting Idoc flat file representation to XML
Otherwise creating a flat file from the IDOC XML using the file-content conversion will be very cumbersome.
If you need the file in the idoc structure itself, I would suggest to create the file in R/3 and poll the file from XI.
Probably above links could give you some hitch on it
Thanks

SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor fails with Enhanced Idoc

Hi All ,
We have used the PI conversion module SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor in a number of Idoc-To-FlatFile scenarios and it is working fine.
However recently we tried to use it in a scenario where the target file structure is that of an enhanced Idoc.
In this case, the receiver channel (where the module is configured) fails with the error message, Idoc metadata not available in ECC.
We have tried the following:
1) Checked NWA connection for RFC Destination and JCA connection factory : Working fine.
2) Loading Enhanced IDoc in IDX2: Working Fine.
3) Change the receiver agreement to point to a Standard IDoc instead: Working fine.
Have any of you been facing the same issue and/or could you guide us to a possible solution.
Thanks,
Abid Ali

Hi Ali,
We are also facing exactly the same issue with a custom IDoc while converting on the receiver side.
It is actually interesting that the module "SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor" works fine for the very same idoc and fails to recongize the metadata information while converting from Xml to Flat.
Did you have any luck in getting this resolved?If so,can you please provide the details.
Thanks

Convert IDOC to flat file - How to guide

Hello,
I have found the how to guide for converting IDOCs to FlatFiles via ABAP Mapping.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a
What is not clear to me. This sounds like I do not need a message type for the flat file with a full implemented structure corresponding to the source IDOC.
Is this right?
Or it is really necessary to create a mess.type with data type for rebuilding the IDOC structure in the flat file!
Can anyone help?
Best regards
Dirk

Dirk,
Well, am not exactly sure if my reasoning is technically correct, but here it goes,
Java Mapping and ABAP mapping takes the Input Source as an InputStream and return the output also as Streams. These streams are not validated against the source and the target strucutres.
In the case of XSL, the only requirement is that theinput / output should be a well formed XML content.
Graphical Mapping produces a Java code internally and I guess the code has a validation check against the source / target schema.

How to read IDOC in flafile structure into SAP to create PO

HI,
We have a requirement like, we will be provided with IDOC PO flatfile structures(Exactly same as IDOC,but in Dlafile format) .
We have to read those flafiles and create POs in our SAP system.
how can we do that?what are the necessary configuration required?
please explian the different steps involved.
thank you in advance.
...Sri

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
is there any other methods of processing the Flatfile IDOC into SAP.
like through using file port with configuration done in Partner Profile , standard FM and report ?
would this be different if we have customised IDOC?
thank you,

How to use Value Mappings for simple translations?

Hello,
I want to use Value Mappings for simple translations in mappings, e.g. from IDoc to Inhouse structures.
For example unit of quantity:
IDOC    -->    INHOUSE
PCE               P
ABC               A
How can I use Value Mapping for this? What should be used as Agency, what should be used for Scheme? What about groups? I tried the following: I created a new Value Mapping in Integration Directory:
- Source Agency: DELVRY05
- Source Scheme: MENEE (IDoc field name)
- Target Acency: INHOUSE_DESADV (Name of structure)
- Target scheme: UNIT (Name of field)
Then, in the table, I added several lines for translating PCE to P and ABC to A and so on. But I have to define a group name for each line. I used INHOUSE. But than I get one INHOUSE group for each line.
This seems very complicated for simple translations from A to B. I don't want to use FixValue in Message mappings.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Christoph

Hello,
@pavan kumar: Thanks, but I know all Blogs about Value Mappings. That does not help me. And I refer to PI 7.1.
Lets get it very simple: I want to have exactly the same functionality of "FixValues" as ValueMappings. In 7.1, I need to define a Group for every row / line in the conversion table (e.g. for units of measurement conversion between IDoc and FlatFile). That does not make sense for me, as the Group is always the same, e.g. "Unit of measurement". So I will get dozens of same groups called "Unit of measurement".
I don't really understand the concept of Groups. Maybe this is just not appropiate for my intenses? Maybe the Group has to be defined as one specific value of Unit of measurement, e.g. "pieces"?

Hi Naveen
There are a few typo errors in your configuration.
First one is xml.conversionType - your value have a lower case p while it should be in upper case (SimpleXML2Plain)
The next one is xml.endSeperator - should be xml.endSeparator.
Try to make these typo corrections to see if it helps.
Also, you have configured a lot of parameters that are not applicable for the SimpleXML2Plain conversion, i.e. documentName and documentNamespace, fieldNames, lastFieldsOptional, processFieldNames and structureTitle. These can be removed. You can refer to my blog below for the list of parameters that are applicable.

Line Split Interface to feed Integration Process - Performance Issues

Hi All
We have a scenario whereby we receive an XML message from a 3rd Party through an exposed SOAP Adapter service. The XML Message has multiple lines that need to be split up and processed as individual messages. We need to create a Line Splitting interface in order to achieve this. The Line Split interface would feed different Integration Processes depending on a specific payload value. The Integration Processes would then perform certain specific logic & Rules as well as transformations to specific message formats (e.g. idoc, xml, flatfile). The Line Split interface also maps from an xml structure that caters for multiple lines, to a flatened xml structure which only contains one line. The uper range of a message we may need to split into individual messages is 30 000 lines.
We first used an Interface Map and used SplitByValue to achieve this, however we ran into the constraint that we could not feed the output split messages to an Integration Process - you can only feed it to Adapters that reside on the J2EE engine.
We then decided to build a seprate Integration Process thats sole purpose was to split the message and route the indvidual messages to other integration processes to perform the logic, business rules and specific transformations. However, the performance of the ccBPM line splitting Integration Process was nowhere near the Interface Map.
e.g. Interface Map Split 1000 Lines = 13 seconds - BPM Integration Process 1000Lines = 100 seconds.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how we can perform the line split outside of BPM, or how we can improve ther performance of the line splitting within BPM?
Thanks for your assistance.

hi,
>>>We first used an Interface Map and used SplitByValue to achieve this, however we ran into the constraint that we could not feed the output split messages to an Integration Process - you can only feed it to Adapters that reside on the J2EE engine.
the easiest (not the only) way :
do the split as you did here and post the results in different folders (file adapter)
then set up scenarios that will get the files from those folders
(many additional objects but will be much much faster and better then a BPM)
you could also split the messages in the adapter module but this is more advanced
and officially SAP does not recommend it - even though it's possible

Hi Radek,
The number of units and details are not equal. I used the following content conversion parameters for the above mentioned nested structure
Recordset Name: recordset
Recordset Structure: Header,1,Units,*,Details,1
Parameters for Recordset Structures
Header.fieldFixedLengths: 1,2,10,3
Header.endSeparator: <...ES of Header.>
Header.fieldNames: <..field names of Header..>
Header.keyFieldValue:1
Header.keyFieldInStructure:ignore
Units.fieldFixedLengths: 1,2,10,20,18,15,15,3,13,13,13,3
Units.endSeparator: <...ES of Units...>
Units.fieldNames: <..field names of Units..>
Units.keyFieldValue: 2
Units.keyFieldInStructure:ignore
Details.keyFieldValue: 3
Details.keyFieldInStructure:ignore
but with this content conversion i'm not able to produce xml in which details come under units.
Can you please help me with content conversion.
Thanks

Implementation scenario

Hi everyone
I need an implementation advice from all the experts. My requirement is that we need to send purchase orders and recieve confirmation to sap systems. we are sending the purchase orders to a webservice.
The general idea was to use idocs to send purchase orders and to recieve the confirmation into the same idoc or a different one. but with idocs syncronous communication is not possible. so what i am thinking is develop an rfc which has the request and resposes and it can populate the required idocs.
i came to know that using idocs or flatfiles i can achieve asynch-synch communications by using modules . but it is from SP 19 , we don't have SP 19 we have SP 10. so i guess its not an option. moreover modules are being dealt with JMS adapter . its not clear why to use JMS adapter here.
are there any better approches to it other than upgrading to SP 19?
is using RFC for this situation a better solution?
Thanks XI experts

Sudheer,
Due to some of the constraints you are having using RFC would be the wise option. Send the data to the webservice to the SOAP adapter and map the response back to the RFC.
Check this weblogs for more information of this integration:
