Segment of the IDOC Meta data getting reversed

[Former Member]

Hi,

Iam using an IDOC with some user defined segments in R/3.

The Zsegment contains fields as follows

Field ** Export Length

Field1 ** 4

Field2 ** 3

Field3 ** 2

Field4 ** 6

In the Metadata of the IDoc in XI System ,the Segment should come as

Field ** Offset ** Length

Field1 ** 0 ** 4

Field2 ** 4 ** 3

Field3 ** 7 ** 2

Field4 ** 9 ** 6

But the offset is being calculated in reverse way and coming as below.

Field ** offset ** Length

Field1 ** 11 ** 4

Field2 ** 8 ** 3

Field3 ** 6 ** 2

Field4 ** 0 ** 6

Its not happening in all the Zsegments, but only in some of them. I couldn't find what might went wrong.

Is there any way to rectify this metadata with out

recreating the ZSegments ?

Thanks in Advance,

Anvitha.

Hi,

Did you check if the adjusted IDOC definiton (and idoc segments) have been released in R/3 system??

If not, release in R/3 and after that in XI remove metadata and reimport with idx2.
