Hi,

>>if u have any idea how to change old IDOC in IDX2 and add the enhanced one, the old IDOC i cant deleted because it is used in other interfaces also, so please if u have any idea share with me.

When new segments are added to iIDoc it becomes a new IDoc for XI.. What is the old and new Idoc name for you? when you have added new segments the IDoc might have been extended. Provide the following details for old and new Idoc

Basic Type

Message Type

Extension

Hi Suraj,

Its a same name for the old and new IDOC.

Venkat,

It seems like you are having some configuration issues. First can you delete the old and new metadata.

Then can you resend the idoc and see. If you dont receive in pi then check sm58 transaction for any errors in ECC.

Hi Venkat,

I am confused here, when you add new segments to IDoc you should be making it as a new IDoc (extended one) right?

Anyway if they are same, you can delete the metadata in idx2 and recreate one. This will not effect the working of other interfaces, because the deletion and re-creation of new metadata in idx2 will not take much time.

If you dont see the metadata (with the extended segments) for your IDoc in transaction IDX2, you can manually load it using the Menu options in IDX2. You need to specify the port and the IDoc type before you can import the IDoc metadata. You can then import the IDoc definition from the source SAP system in XI Integration Repository and build your scenario on it.

Hi Venkat,

As others suggested you need to reimport the idoc into IR. If you reimport the idoc please check the mapping once again, because it may have changed. You need to map according to the new one.

Also whenever you have changes in the idoc you need to reimport the idoc in IR and also the metadata to be uploaded in idx2.

goto tcode IDX2 in PI and then delete and reimport the enhanced IDoc. Also reimport the IDoc in ESR (7.1) or IR (< 7.1)

Hello ,

If the idoc structure contains of standard segments you dont need to import the metadata of the idoc explictly..

but no probs even if you import hte same explicilty

for this go to IDX2 and select your sender system port and there you can see option of import then provide the details of the idoc type and click thats it

its very user friendly screen there once you go to that screen you can find yourself the options of importing

Hi,

Yes you need to delete the metadata from IDX2. that will help to register the IDOC with updated structure.

Also refer IDOC troubleshooting /people/raja.thangamani/blog/2007/07/19/troubleshooting-of-ale-process

Thanks

Hi Venkat,

Re-import the new IDOC in ESR and the metadata in IDX2.

Hope this helps.
