[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am doing an interface where I need to send data from R/3 to a file (IDOC to file),I need push the data from the idoc,I came to know that we can do it by message control.Can you please tell me how to configure message control.I came accross some doc but they are not clear.Is the message control done by developers or by the functional guys.Please help.

Points will be awarded

Hi,

This doc describe a scenario (IDoc to File) with a message control configuration: [A Beginner’s Guide to SAP XI Settings, Part I|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/73527b2c-0501-0010-5398-c4ac372c9692]

Both the developer and the functional can configure it.

Hi,

Purpose of message control:

The output or follow up processing of partner-dependent messages is automated via Message Control. The application then calls the Message Control using the specified interfaces.

You can use these interfaces to describe various data combinations along with the required processing. If one of these data combinations appears during processing, the appropriate processing is started (synchronously or asynchronously). You can define processing with several different methods, for example as a workflow, print output or as an IDoc dispatch for EDI.

Refer this link for more detail:

You need to perform the following configuration:

Keep to the order of the following steps:

. Create Condition Table

. Defining Access Sequences

. Defining Output Types

Defining the Procedure

Usually functional people do the configuration.

Message Control is normally a functional activity, but a IDOC/ALE person can also do it.

Depending on the functional area, you can have different ways to generate messages.

Usually, a Output type is determined (ex. NEU in purchase Orders), and than corresponding to the output type, you can define condition records. Check with your functional consultant and ask him, you need IDOC as an output when the docuemnt is created in R/3
