Batch Scheduling of Idoc Program

[Former Member]

Receiving Idocs in flat file format. To run the program RSINB00 the parameters are file name and port number . Now , if the external system sends a number of flat files and we need to schedule a batch job to run the program RSINB00 , how to do it ? I mean to say if they send files and files can be differentiated based on timestamp , then how will we get the filenames to be passed in the selection screen of the Program running in batch.? Variant or caklculated default values ( what is meant by Timestamp differenitation ?)

Pls help .

Hi,

The file transaction needs to be configured for the logical and physical file name inputs. If you configure the file transaction correctly and set up a variant in the batch job the program batch job should pick it up.

Example in File Transaction:

\usr\sap\D7A\DVEBMGS21\data\<FILENAME><yyyy.mm.dd>

Hi Raymond,

You need to write custom program to search incoming files from the inbound/receiving directory using file mask via this FM <b>EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING</b>.

Once you get list of incoming files then you call program RSEINB00 to process the IDoc inbound file one by one (looping the list).

At the end, you need to archive the incoming files so that they don't process twice.

Hope this will give you an idea.

Did you solve your file port issue yesterday?
