Hi ABAPers,
Is there any standard procedure to convert IDOC's to XML format ? If
yes can anyone please help me the procedure or steps how to achieve
this conversion.
Regards
VEnk@

HI Gautham,
Your answer was helpful.
I am trying to use IDOC_XML_Translate.
Here if you can see the source code of the function module
at the end data is holding by STR and transformed and passed into screen number 100.
But i am trying to download the file so i have created a ZFunModule and in source code
i have used GUI_DOWNLOAD here the problem in STR is string not a table, so how to pass the STR data to Internal table.
Transformation
CALL METHOD idoc->get_xmldata_as_string
    IMPORTING
      data_string = str.
CALL SCREEN 100.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename = 'C:\Venkat\venkat.xml'
tables
    data_tab = ?
Are you having any solution for this ? If yes please share.

Error in Idoc to XML conversion

Hi,
I am doing Idoc to XML conversion using standard program RSEINB00. Can anyone plz tell me what are the pre-requisites to executing this program? I am getting an error message Port XXX segment defn YYYYY in IDoc type ZZZZZ CIM type do not exist.
Why am i getting this error? and what is the slution for it?
Regards,
Mateen.

Hi
Delete the metadata in IDX2 for the corresponding IDOC type in PI.
Also re-import the same in IDX2.
Reimport the IDOC type into Integration Repository under your SWCV.
Then check it..
Refresh the cache also.

hai,
check this.
Outbound Interface
PROCESS DIAGRAM for Outbound Interface
1. Analyse Hierarchy Levels
2. Create New segment
3. Create New IDoc Type
4. Create New Message Type
5. Link Message with IDoc Type
6. Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64
7. Populate the Custom IDoc via ABAP Program
7b Error Handling
7c. Send Status Email
8. Test the Population of the Custom IDoc
Step 1 Analyse Hierarchy Levels:
Analyse the data relationships being processed in the interface. Define the appropriate hierarchical Parent-to-Child relationships.
Navigate to transaction code WEDI
Transaction WEDI displays the IDOC main menu. This allows navigation around the various development and control areas to create a customised IDOC.
Step 2 Create a new segment:
via wedi : Development - IDOC Segments or Transaction code WE31.
Enter segment name and click on Create.
? The name of the segment type must start with Z1 , and have a maximum of eight characters.
Enter description and enter the relevant field names and data elements.
? The segment should represent a structure in the program so for each field in the segment a field name and a data element must be defined.
Save the segment and enter Person Responsible and Processing Person .
Go to Edit and Set Release.
Repeat this procedure for each new Segment in the IDOC.
Step 3 Create a new IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Types or Transaction WE30.
Enter segment name (starting with Z), click on Basic Type and then Create.
Create as new, enter Person Responsible and Processing Person and enter description.
On Create Basic Type screen decide where segments should be inserted and go to Edit/Create Segment.
Complete relevant fields in the Maintain Attributes screen:
From the relevant segments created in Step 2 enter the Segment type and if mandatory segment.
The Minimum and Maximum number of segments to be allowed in the sequence. (One minimum and one maximum if segment is mandatory).
The Parent Segment and Hierarchy Level will be automatically created depending on where in the IDOC tree you decided to create that particular segment.
Repeat this process for each segment needed in the IDOC type, deciding whether to add the next segments at the same level or as a Child.
When IDOC created return to initial screen. Go to Edit and Set Release.
Go to Transaction WE60 to view the IDoc Type you have created.
Step 4 Create new Message Type
via wedi Development - Message Types or Transaction WE81.
Display/Change and click on New Entries
Create a new Message Type and Save.
Step 5 Link Message Type to IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Type/Message or Transaction WE82.
Display/Change and then click on New Entries.
Enter Message Type, Basic Type (IDOC Type) and Release (46C) and Save.
Step 6 Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64.
The partner profile for the Idoc must be set up and generated in the transaction BD64 and transaction WE20.
WE20 Add Message Type to appropriate Partner Type, Enter Message Type, Receiver Port and Idoc Type and Save.
BD64 Create a Model View, Enter Sender and Receiver Ports, Attach Message Type. Go to Environment on Menu and click on Generate Partner Profiles and generate (not save) profile.
Step 7 Populate the custom IDOC via ABAP Program
See Test Program ZOUTBD_IDOC_TEMPLATE, Appendix IV.
Create an Internal Table for each segment type, this should be exactly the same structure as the segment type.
The control record is filled into a structure like EDIDC. The message type and the Idoc type for the Idoc must be populated into the eddic structure.
- PERFORM populate_Control_structure USING c_mestyp
c_SEGMENT_type1.
The data segments are filled into a structure like edidd-sdata; sdata and the segment name are populated into the edidd structure.
- PERFORM transfer_Parent_data_to_seg.
The standard SAP function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called to pass the populated IDOC to the ALE Layer.
- PERFORM master_idoc_distribute.
NOTE: This function module is only called for stand alone programs and Shared Master Data programs (SMD). It is not called when using extensions or output determination.
The ALE Layer handles the sending of the IDOC to the receiving system.
Error Handling (see Step 7b).
Commit work.
Project Specific
Step 7b Error Handling Analyse which fields in the interface are mandatory for the receiving system and who needs to receive error notification.
Declare a structure of type MCMAILOBJ for sending instructions.
Enter values for the internal table based on structure MCMAILOBJ
For selection processes, on SY-SUBRC checks and where fields are mandatory for the receiving system; insert Function Module MC_SEND_MAIL.
Enter values in the following parameters: -
MS_MAIL_SENDMODE = B (Batch Mode)
MS_MAIL_TITLE = 'Mail Title'
MS_MAIL_DESCRIPTION = Error description (e.g. MATNR not given)
MS_MAIL_RECEIVER = Name of Receiver (To be determined)
MS_MAIL_EXPRESS = E (Express Delivery)
MS_MAIL_DLINAME = Leave Blank
MS_MAIL_LANGU = 'E' (Language)
MS_MAIL_FUNKOBJ_NAME = Leave Blank
TABLES
MS_MAIL_CONT = I_MCMAILOBJ
Note:
It has to be determined separately for each interface how these errors and mail notifications are to be grouped dependant upon the number of errors that are potentially likely. One possible approach is to send an email for each reason for rejection and include all the records that failed for that reason in the mail notification. Another possible approach is to send an email for every failure.
When error checking for mandatory fields it is common SAP practice to reject a record on its first failure (irrespective of subsequent errors in that record)
Step 7c Send status mail
Append to table I_MCMAILOBJ details of the time the interface was processed, how many Idocs were created and how many of these produced a status of 03.
Select the user to receive the mail from ZINT_RECEIVER, using the name of the program as a key (SY-CPROG).
Use function Module MC_SEND_MAIL to send a mail to the user containing the contents of I_MCMAILOBJ at the end of the interface processing.
Step 8 Test the population of the custom IDOC
via wedi IDoc - Display IDoc or Transaction WE02.
Enter your message type and execute.
Status should be green, double click on one of the Idocs you have created to view its contents.
If a problem has occurred click on Status which will give you a description of the error.
Drop down Data Records arrow and this should list the data in the IDoc in the correct hierarchical structure.
Click on each individual segment and view the content to check that the correct data has been read.
If you have UNIX access by using AL11 you can view the file that you have created.
Note:
For some interfaces it may be valid to send an empty file to SAP. This empty file is converted to the custom IDOC format expected by SAP. This custom IDOC will contain dummy information. In the inbound processing code, if the dummy information is identified then the processing of the IDOC is considered to be complete and the IDOC should then be assigned a successfully processed status of 53, even though it has not been processed at all.

Regarding conversion of idoc into xml/edifact

hi everyone, i am using 5.0 version and i want to know that without using subsystem can be change my idoc into xml/edifact, if yes then plz let me know procedure
regards,
vimarsh

Hello Vimarsh
Basically you have to following steps in the EDI conversion process:
(1) Send business object (e.g. invoice) as IDoc-XML to external system
(2) EDI converter converts IDoc-XML to EDIFACT (flat file) (e.g. Seeburger, mendelson, etc.)
(3) Send EDI file to EDI provider (e.g. GXS, IBM-IE, Tradanet, etc.)
In our case the EDI conversion takes place on SAP-XI (Note: the EDI converter is not part of SAP-XI but a third-party product). The EDI file is placed on a FTP server and then send via ODEX / OFTP to an EDI provider.

The plan is to convert the IDOC to XML and to send this XML by FTP to our supplier.
Could anyone give me some hints to achieve this.
usefull help will be rewarded.
Gr., Frank

Hi,
1. Create XML port in WE21.
2. Configer the partner profile in WE20 for required message type.

IDOC-- XML conversion

Hi all,
Could anyone let me know if there is any method of converting IDOC to XML with out using XI or any EAI tools?
Raghav

Raghavan,
If you want to convert an idoc to XML (write to XML file), then ALE has a simple mechanism to do it.
Please read the following post in SDN , wherein we can define a XML port (instead of a file port) to convert a idoc to XML
convert IDOC data to XML format.
Some post also list the required FM to achieve the same

Conversion of inbound IDOC into XML file

Hi experts,
We have an inbound idoc (FIDCC2) that starts and triggers the creation of an FI document. We would like now, that, instead of creating the FI document, the inbound IDOC creates an XML file on a given directory, with the contents of the idoc. Can anybody explain how to configure this?
Many thanks in advance,
John De Coninck.

John,
Firstly, need more information. If I understand you correctly, you are getting an inbound FI document that is created as an IDOC and it posts into FI (using an underlying FM/transaction etc). Now you want to convert this IDOC into XML on a folder (which can be found on AL11 (a.k.a App Server)).
Question 1: Where are you getting this IDOC from? Is it through EDI/ALE? What is your interfacing server (the one that is sending you this IDOC.
Question 2: What format is this IDOC coming in? Is it flat/XML etc?
Question 3: Is this an internally created IDOC? Is there an attached partner profile in WE20? If there is a partner profile that exists and you're using this to create the inbound IDOC, then there are process codes available to forward these IDOC's (e.g ED08).
There are many ways you can achieve this but everything depends on how your system is configured and how this processing is going on.

How can I convert IDoc in XML format w/DTD into a string?

I want to send by e-mail outbound IDoc in XML format with its document type definition (DTD).
I want to be able to get the same output result into a string than the XML file IDoc port type with DTD activated. I have created a FM (based on SAP "OWN_FUNCTION") assigned to an IDoc port of type ABAP-PI that executes the following processing steps:
1-Extract outbound IDoc information to get the sender & recipient mail addresses (EDP13 / EDIPHONE tables).
2-Convert & Transform IDoc data into XML string using FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML.
3-Prepare and send e-mail with XML attachement using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I cand generate the e-mail with the XML file attachement but FM IDX_IDOC_TO_XML does not convert the IDoc with proper formating and DTD.
What should I use to accomplish the IDoc conversion to XML w/DTD into a string?
Should I use XSLT tools ?
How does that work?
Thank you
Carl

Use decimal string to number
Specifically, you can define a constant with a different datatype on the input on the lower left if you need a different datatype (e.g. U8, I64, DBL, etc) Are all your values integers or do you also need to scan fractional numbers? In this case, you should use "fract/exp string to number" instead.

As i posted previously in xi UTF-8 is the default encoding if message protocal is FILE.
And UTF-8 encoding support unicodes..
Can reconfigure your receiver file adapter with file type as Binary and check once again.

Automate flat IDOC to XML IDOC using one interface

Hello all,
We are currently going through a migration process where XI will be replacing a legacy system. As part of our testing procedure, we are using historical data pairings from the legacy system and using an automated tool to compare if the interfaces we develop in XI match. The catch is we need the data that we are comparing in XML format for the automated tool to be able to do the comparison, and unfortunately the legacy data is a flat format. So now I would like to automate a way to convert this data to XML format.
Specifically for IDOCs, I would like to have an interface which picks up the flat files, transforms them to XML, and then drops them back into another file directory in the XML format. It would need to be able to pick up any kind of IDOC (given that XI has the metadata already imported), recognize what message type it is, then do the conversion.
I have been reading on SDN and found that there is a standard tool to do the conversion, but it appears it can only handle one kind of IDOC at a time, and it appears it only picks up one specifically named file at a time.
Has anybody tried to implement a scenario like this? Any help is appreciated (A walkthrough would be the best!).
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Mike,
What version of PI will you be using? PI 7.11 can now auto-convert Flat File IDocs to XML IDoc and vice versa.
Here is the documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/b5/bd93642dd3410f90ebea702399fac4/frameset.htm (flat to XML)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/74/a45bc07e2043fb9b63295229178903/frameset.htm (XML to flat)
I have not tried this personally, but seems like you might be able to use a "File to File" scenario with no mapping, and use the "IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor" Module in your File Adapter Comms Channel and it may just work, giving you files that are the IDoc XML version of the flat file it is reading. It looks like it does an RFC call to the back-end SAP system where the IDocs are originally from (or could be any system as long as you know the IDocs in there are identical), and reads the IDoc metadata (which has always included flat file field offsets for each IDoc Segment Field), and applies that either to convert from flat file IDoc to XML IDoc, or XML IDoc to flat file IDoc.
It does mention that there is a limitation that there can only be one IDoc in the source flat file - could be a problem if you have many in one file, which is pretty typical.

Brendan

Regarding receiver determination problem in IDOC-XI-XML file scenario

Dear All ,
In IDOC-XI-xml file scenario , I have configured SLD , IR . But in ID , after file adapter , reciever agreement configuration when I am doing receiver determination configuration I am not able to insert mapping program in configuration overview of receiver determination as I am not getting "New Specific" option in mapping .
Can anybody suggest what could be the reason behind this .
Thanks in Advance
Prabhat

Hi PRabhat,
In RCVR determination, you need to select the party & service (as appropriate) save the obeject
then refresh the configuration overview of recr det.
then you can see the partner/service
then you can open it & add the necessary objects.

Inbound IDOC using XML

Hi,
I need to create an Inbound IDOC using Function modules using an XML file as Input.
I am using mySAP ERP 2004(WAS 6.4).
IDOC type : HRMD_A05
Message Type : HRMD.
I am using the FM's in an ABAP report for testing, reading the data from the XML File using the FM GUI_UPLOAD .
I tried using the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP,with import parameters XML_STREAM, CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE, REMOTE_ADDR.(ALL Type Strings)
This FM creates the IDOC successfully but i do not get the status record for the IDOC as there are no export parameters or tables where i can get the value.
I am trying using the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP,with import Parameters as XML_STREAM type XSTRING,and there is the export parameter ASSIGN ,type IDOC_ASSIGN_TAB and i was wondering if this could return the status.
I used the same XML and used the FM "SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING", to convert the file input string into XSTRING.
On executing this i get the exception,"NO DATA RECEIVED" .
Can anybody Please Tell me
1)How to get the status of an IDOC if i use the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP ?
2)How to use the FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP ?
3)Is there any other way to create an IDOC with XML input?
Thanks,
regards,
Siddhartha Jain

HI Nagarajan,
I had checked the first link mentioned by you and activated the required service from Transacttion SICF,but still it didn't help.
The second link points to the IDOC Adaptor for XI,guess it won't help as i'm not using XI.
I want to pass XML data read from file and call a FM which creates and posts and IDOC into R/3 and returns the IDOC Number and Status.
For this i found the FM's IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP and IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP.
The FM IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP accepts xml as string and posts IDOC succesully,but i do not get the status and IDOC Number.
The IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP accepts xml as xstring,so i used the FM SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING to convert the same xml string to xstring and pass it to the FM.But it gives an error 'NO DATA RECEIVED'.
If i make few changes to the XML doc,to include SOAP envelope ,like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><HRMD_A05>.......</HRMD_A05>
to
<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap-env:Body><IDOC BEGIN="1">.......</IDOC></soap-env:Body></soap-env:Envelope>
I get the error,the tag <IDOC BEGIN="1"> not found ,the IDOC XML should be of format <IDOC BEGIN="1"> <IDOC>.
Can anybody please help on what to do/how to proceed.
Thanks,
Regards,
Siddhartha
