How to Transfer IDoc Type to Data Type in XI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am working on scenario to transfer data(IDoc) from SAP System to Non SAP system through XI.

While Defining "Data Type" in XI i want to create Data Type as of IDoc type(CREMAS05).There is any direct method to import IDoc type into "Data Type" in XI.

thanks,

RP

Hi RP,

Once u import idoc to XI, export the XSD to ur local system using XSD tab.

Now go to External defiinttions, and import that XSD file.

you can use this external definition in message interfaces.

No need to create data type and message type.

Let me know if u have any doubts,

This is applicable if u want to create datatype of an standard idoc as it is.

Regards,

Ravi.

hi

while creating message interfaces either outbound or inbound, select the external definition from the pop up window and select the desired one.

normally u select message type in message interface, in this case u have to select external definition.

Hi Rp,

External definitions enable you to import WSDL, XSD, and DTD documents to the Integration Repository so that you can access the message definitions they contain as external messages.

If a description of the message structure already exists in one of the above formats, you can use it in the Integration Repository by importing it as an external definition rather than re-entering it manually using the data type editor.

Prerequisites

The document to be imported must conform to the WSDL, XSD, or DTD standard.

you dont have to make a DT/MT for an IDoc, you import it.

In case you want to create a DT/MT for the non SAP system. Goto the imported IDoc in XI and save it as an XSD and use it.
