Hello,

XML means EXTENSIBLE MARK UP LANGAGE

To convert Idoc to XML please follow the following link

/people/stefan.grube/blog/2006/09/18/collecting-idocs-without-using-bpm and also

1) If you want to save your idoc as an XML in some directory, You need to create the xml port in R/3 system. It is the standard functionality of R/3. the xml file will be saved in directory you mention in your port.

2) To send XML idoc from R/3 to XI. -- you dont need to do anything just trigger IDoc using WE19 ans send it to XI. Sender IDoc will convert it to XML automatically.

3) You can also use ABAP, JAVA or XSLT code to convert FLat Idoc to xml.

There is also a FM which converts the Idoc to xml

IDOCS_OUTPUT_IN_XML_FORMAT

Please revert if you have any queries.
