IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: An IDocFieldNotFoundException occurred

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I'm working with an ABAPer who modified a Z IDOC.

It was working fine, he modified it to add some more fields. This is going from IDOC to File (XML output with no conversions).

So I re-imported the IDOC to PI, updated the mapping, and deleted the adapter metadata. I would think that is all which should be required?

But no, I missed something because I still get this error.

I have tried updating and testing the new Inbound payload in both Message Mapping and Operation Mapping with no errors!

I have tried full clearing SXI_CACHE and all RWB caches.

I also tried everything on these related posts.

Do you have any other ideas before I destroy this scenario and start from scratch? It must be something simple but I cannot find it. By the way, I'm on PI 7.11 SP3

One other thing I noticed, when I delete the new fields from the Inbound IDOC in WE19 then it processes OK end-to-end.

Thanks in advance,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

After deleting the metadata, did you upload the metadata again from IDX2 ?

You can try a full CPA cache refresh as well. Also check the cache notifications in ESR if they are not in error.

Thanks for the hints about the CPA cache refresh and forcing new upload of Metadata. I already tried those.

I don't like this solution but after restarting the J2EE engine (SMICM Java soft shutdown with restart) the transaction started working.

Hi Aaron,

If you're just downloading the Idoc into an XML File withount any conversion..

Did you try to use an File Port from R3 avoiding using a PI Interface?

No, we like to keep them going through PI for centralized monitoring and if we need to tweak a field later without getting ABAP involved again. Thanks for the suggestion.

hello,

Did you re-import the Idoc into Transaction IDX2 ? Also check this link

Thanks, IDX2 is exactly what I used to delete the old IDOC metadata, which automatically imports when you send a new message over the interface.

I see it worked in their case and it should work in ours, but I've tried that 2 times already.

Any other ideas?
