IDOC to Flat File

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have to convert IDOC DEBMAS to a flat file in PI. The flat file should be delimited by 'I'.

I am not sure if I can use file content converison for this as IDOC structure will be very complex. Please let me know what will be the good approach for the scenatio.

Thanks,

Punit

The best approach is discussion the required file structure with customer.

When you know, how the structure should look like and which fields are required, and we can discuss mapping.

Hi,

If you don't want to define each field in content conversion, you can use an abap mapping.

In http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a you can find an example to convert an idoc to a flat file.

However, you must modify this code to add your specific separator | .

Typically IDoc is generated as a flat file in the source system. The easiest approach that i could think is to push the IDoc to some file port (no need of PI in this) if you exactly want IDoc format.
