Idoc - Find Background program Name

Former Member — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:04:31 GMT

Dear All,

We are getting the data from File server into SAP application server to create the sales order in SAP system. Before all every thing working fine. Now my client wants to change some data while reading the data from that application server. Now my question is through that application server path how do I find the program like where used list in SAP.

According to my client requirement I was tried to change the Idoc data using exit but it's working only within SAP system. While running through that application path it's not changing the data.

Can anyone tell me how do I find that program name only by using that application path ?

Here I confirm through that path only they are processing the data so can any suggest me to find program name?

What are the other possibility to find or resolve my issue?

Thanks & Many regards,

John

Hello John,

My understanding is you have a file in Application sever and you need to know what are the programs which uses that file?

If yes, either they would have specified the application server path in program via program variants or hard coded inside the program.

In case of Hard code, Scan all your Custom development programs with the application filename or path, Use report RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to scan source code.

To check the variants, use table VARI, as the variants are stored with RAW type, use Function module "RS_VARIANT_VARIABLES" to read them.

Refer to below link for details of searching in variants.

Regards,

Thanga

I'm sorry but your post just does not make any sense. While it's awfully nice of the SCN members above to try and guess what you meant, I'm concerned this will just send you on a wild goose chase.

If this is some kind of an interface then shouldn't there be some documentation available for it? For all we know the file might be FTPed from somewhere.

You start with "file" and then IDoc somehow appears, are they related?

Why not get the file with correct data to begin with?


According to my client requirement I was tried to change the Idoc data using exit but it's working only within SAP system. While running through that application path it's not changing the data.

You tried correctly, but now the plot thickens. While running what "through that application path"? What does this mean? And where is "application path" then? Not in SAP? Again - see above, how do all this file-IDoc-mistery "application path" chain connect?

Quite a bit of clarification required here.

If you don't know which program is reading and processing the file, to convert it to IDoc, then....

Methods

1. One day, don't place the file in the application server path and see which job fails in SM37 saying "file not found".

2. Read all the batch jobs currently released in the system. Use RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS to read the contents of all the variants for those batch jobs. Check if any of the variant contains the app server path.

3. Check if this path is assigned to the logical file path in FILE transaction. If found, do a where used list of FILE_GET_NAME function module. Check if any Z programs are listed. If yes, then check if those Z programs uses the logical file path.

Really, there is no straightforward way to find this. You should try to explore around the system through various methods to achieve the required result.

Thanks,

Juwin

Hi Jelena,

There is no documentation available for this interface ? Even I was wonder when I heard from my client.

Client should keep the data according to their customer understanding format because It will helpful to change whenever they want. The process all everything is automatic.

Idoc got appear in WE02, but don't know where it get started ?

Regards,

John.

Wouldn't there be a port assigned to the IDoc? Do you know anything about the IDoc interfaces? If not then it's time to tell the client that.

I'm sorry you didn't find my response helpful, but I believe you are approaching this from a completely wrong angle. It seems like an ABAPer's solution to a non-ABAP problem.

Did you try the 2nd method? I think that would be the best option.
