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.

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

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.

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

IDOC-XI-XML Scenario Questions

Hi everyone,
I am actually trying to configure a scenario starting from SAP and finishing creating a XML file.
R/3 IDOC -> XI -> XML file
The XI is receiving IDOCs from SAP correctly, but when it try to send to third party system, the monitor engine (SXMB_MONI) are showing the following error: HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK.
I am currently using the File Adapter, please take a look at the config for the communication channel:
Adapter Type: File
http://sap.com/xi/XI/System
SAP BASIS 6.4
Transport Protocol: File Protocol(FTP)
Message Protocol: File
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
Target Directory: / (root)
File Name Scheme: mptest_xi_output.dat
File Construction: Create
Overwrite File: X
File type: Binary
Adapter Status: Active

If you have enough authorization, then click on the last button which is change button.
Otherwise, open two windows of SAP and try to do the above step and when you get the authorization error, go to the second window and enter transaction /nSU53. Send that info to your security team.
Once you have authorization you should be fine.
One other thing, in which client you are doing this ?
Do not use DDIC user to change it.

IDOC to XML file scenario with party

Hi All,
I am developing a IDOC to XML file scenario with party in which I have extended the MATMAS idoc and configured the receiver FILE communication channel.
But its giving me the error *"No receiver could be determined"* with party. If I run the same scenario without the sender party its working fine.
And sender is my R/3 system under party P_Party and receiver is my third party system under P_Party.
Thanks in advance.
Gaurang

U can give a try as follows.
In the Partner Profile of Sender R/3 system,
Give the Receiver Party P_Party in the PartnerNo. Give the 'Business Partner' as logical System type.
In XI, Party Definition of P_Party
Give the following Alternative Identifier
Agency -   Sender R/3 Business System
Scheme -   ALE#GP
Value    -    P_Party

IDOC to XML : error in opening the output file in iexplorer

Hi Frnds,
I have a scenario IDoc to xml where in Im getting some non ascii values in the idoc for which I used ISO-8859-1 encoding technique but still the conversion is not done. Iam unable to opend the output file in internet explorer giving the follwoing error as :
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource
Please help me how to overcome this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
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.
go through http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/frameset.htm

Mapping issue for Idoc to xml

hello all,
 my scenario is idoc to xml file
E1EDKT1-------segment (1:n)
 -TDID----
ele
 -E1EDKT2----segment (1:n)
 -TDLINE-----ele
When TDID value is X then all values in TDLINE of undeline sement E1EDKT2 needs to be cocatenated and passed to target elemnt A
if TDID value is Y then all values in TDLINE of undeline sement E1EDKT2 needs to be cocatenated and passed to target elemnt B
i have written java function(for all values in context) to conctenate TDLINE elements.
also the context of TDLINE is changed to E1EDKT1.
i am getting all the concatenaed values of TDLINE for TDID=X in target element A but i am not geting any value in target element B for TDID=Y
can any one suggest what could be the problem.
Regards,
Sandip

Hi Sandip,
Map like this for target element A:
use simple if stament. and for If give TDID equals(text function) to constant X
and for then TDLINE-->concattdline(udf) --> output A
Map like this for target element B:
use simple if stament. and for If give TDID equals(text function) to constant Y
and for then TDLINE-->concattdline(udf) --> output B
concattdline udf:
Create a Context udf with one argument a and name it as concattdline.
Imports: java.*;
Add this code:
//write your code here
String value = "";
for(int j=0; j<a.length - 1; j++){
 value += a[j] + "";
value += a[a.length - 1];
result.addValue(value);
I just tested this and it should work for you.

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

IDOC to XML using HTTP

Hi Friends,
Is there any possibilities to Convert IDOCs as XML using HTTP Adapter in SAP PI?
Because in my Scenario i need to send Idocs from ECC to Red Prariie using SAP PI.
Also is it there any possibilities using FTPS?
Please help me.
Thanks.

Hi PIstarter,
Sure this is possible. Just treat the IDoc like any other Service Interface that you use in the HTTP Receiver Adapter. You can even use the no-mapping approach if no additional processing is required by PI.
Hope this helps,
Greg

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.

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks
Lee

IDOC to XML

Hi All,
In partner profile, i have set XML port for outbound IDOC. IDOC in XML format is generated successfully on App. server.
when I view this file using AL11 I see its shows only the control records not the data records.
I also see one xml tag <SERIAL>20110831085519</SERIAL>.
Is this id contains the data ?
How to view contents of this Id ?
Thanks
Jitendra

Hi Michael,
i suppose you r using a message mapping?
And u have a problem if the source field is empty?
Use function "exist" to ask if field exist and may be ask for the string lenght > 0. Only in that case (function if) map the field. Or use a XSLT mapping.

Udo
