Idoc in XML format without adapter

Former Member — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:22:19 GMT

Hi,

I have to develop indound and outbound interfaces using idoc with XML format to external system without adapter.

First problem: the scenario for outbound is: creation of idocs using XML port so files will send to an external repository, but after the creation i have also to send an empty file: how can i do to create the second empty file immediately after the first one and only if the sending of first one is ok?

Second problem: the scenario for inbound is: i have to get XML files from the external repository so in SAP an idoc is created: how can i do that?

Thanks lot.

Matteo Vernile.

Hello Matteo

I do not really understand your first question therefore I do not address it.

For your second problem SAP (at least on ECC 6.0) provides useful function modules (in function group EDIN, IDoc: Inbound processing 😞

- IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE (requires the XML-IDoc file to be located on the application server)

- IDOC_INBOUND_XML_SOAP_HTTP

- IDOC_INBOUND_XML_VIA_HTTP

If you are using these function module take care about the correct data in the control segment.

Regards

Uwe

Thanks Uwe,

My first question is: how can i send a second empty file immediately after the creation of the file created by idoc?

Others further answers:

1) Very important: the creation of XSD file (schema) is available in automatic with XML port type?

2) Always with XML port type the sending and receiving of files is automatic? Haven't i to call FTP?

Thanks lot,

Hi Matteo,

When u create a idoc with the XML port along with that if first file is successful then create a second empty file.

2) Always with XML port type the sending and receiving of files is automatic? Haven't i to call FTP?

I dont think Sending and recieving is automatic.. you need push from the app server.

Thanks,

Chandra.

Hi,

I dont think Sending and recieving is automatic.. you need push from the app server.

So i have to call FTP to get or set files between sap application server and the external repository?

As this way this scenario would be so:

outbound:

1)creation of idoc with XML port and automatic creation of XML file in sap application server

2) a custom program read application server and send file via FTP to external repository

inbound:

1) a custom program get file via FTP from external repository and save in application server

1)then calling IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE idoc will be processed

Is there another better solution?

Thanks,

Matteo
