Sending multiple IDocs (all in single file) to FTP via XI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement as below where we are looking for various feasible solutions.

The requirement is to collect multiple IDocs in ERP (2000-5000 in number) per day (either Flat File or XML) and needs to be sent as a single File (which has all these IDocs) to FTP Server via XI.

BPM is not allowed to use and we are working on PI 7.0, so IDoc packaging is also not applicable. There is no mapping required, we need to just route them to FTP from ERP System.

Looking forward for various solutions.

Regards,

N. Jayanth Kumar.

Hi,

Using the XML file port at R/3 to collect the Idocs would be a feasible solution. Also, as Sunil as already pointed out, you can configure this as a pass through interface, which will improve your overall processing time.

Another solution can be to pass the Idocs to PI and then use the append mode in the receiver file adapter to collect the days idoc into a single file.

To append only idocs for a particular day, try using dynamic filename, where file would have the date in it. This way, only Idocs for a particular day would be appended.

Write the file in Append mode is the best option.

hi,

I agree with Raj. Appending data from Idocs is by far the best option. Only thing is that you have to check with the Business if they are okay with this.

You can write the file in append mode.

You can simply use XML file port at R/3 and schedule the report RSEOUT00 once a day as described in [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4443] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];. As mapping is not required, you can skip IR and directly configure ID part as shown in [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4383] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];.
