Hi Swathi,

Conversion Agent is a tool that allows you to build XML from PDF's,. TXT and excel files, mappings

for EDI etc. So, if your file is a .TXT file, then you can develop the mapping using Conversion

aganet to convert the .txt file and then call the corresponding COnversion Agent Module from your

file adapter.

So much data about conversion agent in the sdn, check the below links

Also you can refer my blog on some use cases -

Hi Swathi,

for Conversion Agent refer

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/4c38c4cf105f85e10000000a1553f6/content.htm

But in case of IDoc I guess you might not need to use Conversion Agent. Can you elaborate your requirement?
