Unable to import IDOC metadata from 4.6C based R/3 system

Question

As part of a project we are trying to import IDOC interface definition into XI3.0 from our 4.6C based R/3 System. I have gone through the pre-requisites mentioned at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2b/a48f3c685bc358e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
One of the OSS notes 672745 in the above pre-requisites talks about applying basis component patch SAPKB46C46. Our current R/3 System is on the basis patch SAPKB46C39. Is there a way to import just the required function modules without applying the whole patch so that we can
continue with the projet ?
cheers.

<i>There is no SM59 RFC destination involved.</i>
Go to SM59 of the XI box and check, the R/3 system for which XI is having RFC destinations.
And before importing, hope you have given R/3 system IP address, client , user id and Password correctly in the Software componenet version.
<i>Is there a workaround for this?. I remember reading in this forum, that there are other ways of importing IDOC message and interface objects as XSD files directly instead of using import wizard.</i>
>> For this you need to download the Idoc Schema from the R/3 system and then import this schema in the External Definition as a xsd type.
But you need to connect to R/3 system and import the Idoc, Because in the directory, you are going to use Idoc itself as an Message Interface. So the xsd used for changing the occurence of the Idoc type, so that you can post mulitiple idocs.
Hope this helps,
