Inbound idocs with flat file

Hi
Iam creating INBOUND IDOCS from flat file ...so my sending and recieving systems are same...
In WE20 i have setup the logical system and assigned inbound parameters with message type and proces code.
Iam using IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS to create the inbound IDOCS but iam getting the error
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
It looks like iam missing some settings here..
Please let me know what checks i need to make sure to get rid of this error and post the idoc.
Thanks
Govi

Hello,
You need to create partner profile in WE20 transaction code.
For more details follow the link: [creating PARTNER PROFILE|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2d/f371e4d24a11d289810000e8216438/frameset.htm].
Hope this resolves your issue!
Thanks,

Inbound IDOC Format (Flat File)

Hi,
I'm using SAP CRM Middleware for communication between CRM and Legacy System.
I have configured Outbound IDOCs and I see something like this:
EDI_DC40 2200000000000000023700 3012 CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M01                                     CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M

The questions are:
I need to know how do the following information must be filled in an Inbound IDOC:
The first characters I understand that corresponds to the Structure name, IDOC Number, IDOC Line...
So I need how do fields like IDOC number must be filled in an Inbound IDOC
Thanx in advance..
BTW. I'm expecting IDOCs as flat files so I need to explain to the Legacy Technician how to fill this fields.

Hi,
Go to transaction WE30 and give the IDoc basictype name CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M01 and press the view-button (or press F7 key).
This information you will need.
The records are builded using the following structure:
1st record contains control record information and follows the structure of table EDIDC.
Starting at where "220" is given (this is the CLIENT), it is followed by the IDoc number field DOCNUM (16 digits) and so on. Not all fields must be filled, only those that are used for inbound messaging. Keep here in mind: Less fields filled will probably work better (because SAP will add its own details on arrival of the IDoc).
All following records follow the structure of table EDID4 upto the field: HLEVEL (Hierarchy level, identical to the level found in WE30).
Thereafter it is followed by the name of the segment (including spaces) and after this it will follow the exact structure of the segment.
To view a sample, just generate a dummy (test) IDoc and use transaction WE19 to fill in the fields after changing to the correct IDoc type.
Hope this helps you out.
Regards,
Rob.

How to create a inbound IDOC from flat file in Application server

1. Read the file using OPEN DATASET and read and fill up the segment info and fill the EDIDC header data
and then call function
CALL FUNCTION 'INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS'
    TABLES
      IDOC_CONTROL       = i_edidc
      IDOC_DATA          = i_edid4.

How to Test, Inbound idoc ,with out the Sender System, using a Text File

Hi Guru's .
we wanted to test BLAORD03 inbound idoc (Message Type BLAORD).with out the SENDER SYSTEM.
on the same client.
we wanted to test this idoc with text file from our local machine.
Can anyone give us detail steps.like how to create File layout
with Segment name,and values for the fields.how to pass this file to the system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aparna.
My requirement is to test the idoc with Inbound File.
Generate a file with the data entered through segments through we19 ,and use the same file for processing through we16.
when i am trying to do this syst complaing about
Partner Profile not available, and some times

but i maintained part profiles and port perfectly.
Can you help me in testing with test 'File' port.

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

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,
Regards,
Sandeep Kaushik

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.

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 .

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.

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??
System PI 7.11
IDOCS: WHSCON, WHSORD and WMMBXY

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?

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.

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

Data Extraction or IDOC to flat file

hi,
I have a project to create a flat file from SAP, for an external legacy system. There are 3 requirement.
What approach should I take. Simple data extraction OR Idoc to flat file.
There are 4 requirements:
1. first time extract all data.
2. on subsequent run, extract only changed & new records
3. if in SAP table, a record is deleted, then marked deleted in flat file.
What approach should I take if I use data extraction.
Thanks.

I read your question, my first thought would be to look at where the data is going?
What are the data requirements of the legacy system. IDOCs can speed up the development related to pushing the data out from SAP. Using ALE and change pointers you can automatically pass out the delta with a limited amount of development.
However, the receiving system then needs to parse the IDOC data. depending on the IDOC you are working with this can be a challenge especially if the legacy developer doesn't get IDOCs.
Sometimes its easier to collect and write the data from SAP using "simple data extraction". The data is more readily organized into a format the receiving system is expecting.
You can also pass the idoc to a middleware maping application if one is available and do the SAP to legacy mapping there.
Cheers

Packaging IDOCs - SAP R3(IDOCs) - XI - Flat File

Hi,
I've got the scenario SAP R3(IDOCs) -> XI -> Flat File.
The IDOCs are sent from R3 with the Option Send by Packet. There is 10 Idocs per packet.
What I want to do is create one flat file for each packet.
So one packet of 10 Idocs must create 1 flat file.
Is it possible to do that whithout BPM ?

 We have IDoc - SFTP (flat file) scenario in which I have did ESR by pass scenario and used standard module to convert IDoc xml to flat file.
 But now user is asking to have the naming convention of the receiver flat file as SHPMNT05_<IDoc number>_<Reference number>.idoc.
 Could you please let me know how this can be approachable. Many thanks in advance for your valuable inputs. Awaiting your replies.
Thanks
Ravi..

Thank you very much Botha,
In the thread Idoc to file problem with DynamicConfiguration please find below my doubts.
1. I am using receiver SFTP adapter and IDoc to flat file module configuration as key 1, so how it will works.
