Idoc to File

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have idoc to file scenario. The idocs will be created in a batch processs and all the collected one will be send using a report program RSEOUT00 to XI. I require creating a ~ seperated file using this. The file has a header(SOF) and a trailer(EOF) and they are constant strings as specified. How would you approach this problem?

I am on XI 7.0.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

By this i m assuming you are dumping IDOC's on some local File server(via ABAP report) and from that file server you will pick.

If the above is correct then you need to configure a sender file adapter(to pick the file from File server) and a receiver file adapter with file content conversion(to deliver file).

its a simple to file to file scenario with file content conversion on receiver side.

Thanx

Nope. It is send to XI using that program.

What exactly i need to do for the trailer.. Assuming it is a fixed string like "EOF"

Hi,

i hope it's better to assign constant as 'EOF'

to the corresponding field in trailer in message mapping.

Here is an example

SOF

abc₁₂₃₄₅uk~CA

def₆₇₈₉₀kl~US

EOF

I require this format..How to assign constant for just one occurance at the end of file. I dont need trailer for each record.

Hi,

I'll sugeest to go for xslt mapping and change the output type to text in xslt. You can avoid FCC also by doing this way and you can achieve whatever you want to. I have used it many times.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="text"/>

Thanks

HI,

You can format the fiel with use of File Content Conversion Parameters and evencan add the Field Separator as ~.

Hi swaroop,

How can I give a header record just once? Though the idocs are triggered at one shot they come as seperate documents, this would create header multiple times as my option is to append to the same file
