Testing Inbound Idocs

Former Member — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:09:28 GMT

Hi All!

I am trying to fix an inbound Idoc program that is erroring in our testing environment with a REALLY big IDoc. I need to move this IDoc to our development environment in order to be able to accurately fix the program.

Is there any way to move an inbound IDoc from one environment to another without manually re-creating it or having to create an outbound IDoc process of some sort?

Help is MUCH appreciated - thanks!

Abby

The only thing I can suggest would be to play around with the options in the test tool WE19. There is an option in there to process an IDOC from an inbound file

I've seen outbound IDOCs converted into flat files simply by pointing them to a file port set up in WE21. I'd suggest trying to forward the IDOC using the "Standard Outbound Processing"

Sorry I can't be of more help

Are you using XI to post the idoc? If so download the xml and upload into dev using sxi_support

Try out this

On the source system

Go to WE19 - > IDoc -> Test Inbound IDoc ->Inbound File

Here enter application server path like

/appl/interfaces/MDDC/MLGA01

Also Uncheck the check box Start IDoc inbound processing of file imm.

On the target system

Go to WE16

Give the same application server file name in Directory + File name

In Port give EDIPORT and run it.

This will create an IDoc
