Hi inna,

1.exp on board the general flow of data in your land scape?..

for this u should explain data flow from your systems in ur project landscape.

key field name and key field value will be present in content conversion parameters.

IDX5 IS UED TO MONITOR idoc from xi.

file name is extracted dynamically

HI

1.exp on board the general flow of data in your land scape?

Message flow:

Source Message-> adapter engine->inbound queue-> Integration Engine->Outbound queue->Adapter engine-> Receiver.

2.how to you monitor an idoc from xi ?

A) In XI u can check the message in SXMB_MONI. it will show u inbound message as well as outbound message.

in order to check the IDOC u can go to IDX5 tcode. at the R3 end u can go to WE02 or WE05 tcode and check the IDOC control record

data record and status record.

3.file name is generated statically or dynamically?

Both are possible.

U can give the file name in file adapter so it will be static name but if u want to generate the file name with the input field name which is coming from the payload then u have to use the variable substitution method.

4.what are the diff beetween keyfield name and value in file adapter?

a)

refer the below link for more detail:

Key Field Name

If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value ‘*’, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from their content. A key field must be set with different constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key field, and the field name must occur in all substructures.

NameA.keyFieldValue

Specify the value of the key field for the structure. This entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry is ignored.

if ur file is having this format:

Header start with 01

Detail with start with 02

Trailer starts with 99

then key field values wil be 01,02 and 99.

thnx
