Ref: How to Hold Idoc in XI for few minutes?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having a requirement in one of my scenario like Idoc->BPM->file....where in i am using BPM for receiving Idoc and do some status updates back to R/3.

but my requirement is i need to hold this Idoc until some specific time due to the Business requirment.

for ex:- Assume If i receive the Idoc by 2.55 i need to hold it for 5 min and deliver the message or start processing at 3.00 PM exactly.

Can any one suggests how to acheive this functionality.

Thanks in advance....for your suggestions...

Hi Shravan,

Other way round solution is Use a wait step by maintaining trigger time as value in the IDoc..

Hi ,

There is some business reason that it will be triggered 5 min before in Sender R/3.....

One more clarification if i use Sender/Reciever ID configuration using Sender Business System and Interface/Idoc.....and schedule it exaclty 3.00 PM what happens if the Idoc hits Xi at 2.56....? any suggestions or will it work?

Hi All,

My Requirement is i need to schedule this interface exactly at 3.00 PM and if i get the Idoc before this time and need to get the differance time and keep it on hold for that duration...

Thanks

Hi Shravan,

Instead of holding the IDocs in XI, it is better to hold it in the Sender system (R/3).

And once it is 3.00 send it to PI and do the processing

Hi Shravan,

You can also use wait step of the BPM

put a wait step in BPM with 5 minutes

Use the logic as mentioned by Samiullah:

write a UDF in your mapping and introduce the sleep period of 5mins....the processing will be held for that duration.
