Hi ,

Can you say more about error details you getting. Check the IDOC you are trying to import is a valid one and whether it got released and all.

Please explain how you are trying to import the idoc in PI

Hi,

We also had same problem of unable to import IDOC structures automatically from SAP 3.1I to XI/PI, as the support of this feature as mentioned by SAP starts from version >= 4.0.

Please find the prerequisite as mentioned in help.sap.com

Prerequisites

The SAP system from which you want to import the RFCs or IDocs must contain function modules for calling metadata. You can import RFCs and IDocs from SAP Release 4.0 and higher. The table below gives an overview of the required support packages:

(http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm)

So as per my experience, I could identify three options after indepth investigation.

1. Recreate the IDOC structures in another SAP system which is of latest version >= 4.0 may be IDES, and then import the structure in IR for further developments. This is the option we are using for our developments now.

2. Get WSDL of the IDOC structure by creating manually the structure using XML Enterprise edition using the complete syntax or xpath and import as external definitions and use it in mapping.

3. Re-create the IDOC structure in XI system itself and try to use it.

Let me know if this helped you.
