You need to define data type for this by yourself.

Ofcourse you can define by yourself,its one of the ways to define your structure,if you dont have XSD/WSDL/DTD then we have to define manually,there is nothing wrong in that

Thanx

Forget best practice!!,I think you have no other option..:)

PSRK,

You are far away from best practices now........

Get the xsd of the idoc and use that in your mapping......

Hi,

It is not req to know about the sender data structure(in your case), but should know what you have to Map in the Idoc fields.

If you have knowledge about it..then you can create any dummy data type and can Map the values to target..at last you have to post an Idoc from XI with all the incoming values(flat files).

Thanks

create a source datatype for fixed length file and map it with idoc.

Use file content conversion to convert fixed length file to xml datatype.
