XML IDOC to Native IDOC Conversion

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a scenario, where we need to convert XML idoc into native idoc and write to a file. I am doing this based on

How To Convert an IDoc-XML structure to a flat file and vice versa in XI 3.0.

When I first executed the scenario, I was getting the following error

Z_ABAP_MAPPING_IDOC_TO_FLAT (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION) An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Dereferencing of the NULL reference.

After including the try-catch block, now i am just getting a blank file without any conversion.

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards,

Ravi

Hi,

It looks to be error in ABAP mapping

To test ABAP mapping in XI use the transaction SXI_MAPPING_TEST after creating a little scenario in the directory.

Or even you could do this with below sample code

Lets create one ABAP mapping class with the method IF_MAPPING~EXECUTE

data: obj type ref to zcl_abap_mapping_test.

data: source type xstring,

result type xstring.

data: param type ref to IF_MAPPING_PARAM,

trace type ref to IF_MAPPING_trace.

create object obj.

try.

CALL METHOD obj->IF_MAPPING~EXECUTE

EXPORTING

SOURCE = source

PARAM = param

TRACE = trace

IMPORTING

RESULT = result.

CATCH CX_MAPPING_FAULT .

ENDTRY.

This is a link very useful for ABAP Mapping :

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

Or may be think this exception you need to catch it in the ABAP..

This may help u- http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/55/bff20efe8c11d4b54a006094b9456f/content.htm

just cross verify with this guide-

Hi,

It looks like mapping is not visible :(. Please check your configuration in exchange profile.

Hi !

Please check your code in case you are attempting to access a component using 'NULL' object reference (points to nothing).

The problem was with the control record. It was looking for field STATUS and that was not there in my input XML.
