Message traceability in PI - File Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a Idoc to FTP scenario. Idocs are sent from SAP R/3 to PI where they are converted to file format and saved. Another communication channel reads these files one by one and sends them to an FTP folder.

Now my question is, how will I trace/find the message which was generated by the second channel if I have Idoc number?

Thanks,

Netrey

you cannot, unless you use a ccbpm or the idoc number was saved in the first file. what you can do is detect a key value comming in the IDoc which later is mapped in the second file. ussing the Netweaver Adminsitrator Monitoring you can search message by content values.

i think those are the best ways.

Hi Rodrigo,

Is there any way to find message by content (other than TREX) ?

I think there's no way to find a string in content message with standard functionality... you have to develope some custom code.

Hi,

Unfortunately we dont have TREX server configured and not planning to do it in near future as well. So, what is the way that I can find out a message? For example, as we find a message in PI using an Idoc number from transaction IDX5. How do we know the message id of a message if a particular file was read by sender file communication channel?

You can use variable substitution and you can name the file on the basis of Idoc number through dynamic configuration

By this way the file name will be that of the IDoc number through which it is generated

Simplest way would be to store make the MessageID_IDocNumber as filename while placing the file in the first flow. Then you will have track of it (to some extent) without custom developments.
