Inbound IDOC using XML

Question

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 <b>IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP</b>,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 <b>IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP</b>,with import Parameters as <b>XML_STREAM type XSTRING</b>,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,

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,
