IDOC Size Handling

[bjorn-henrik_zink]

Hi,

it seems that my IDOC is broken into several files when it reaches a size threshold. Where can I find information on the IDOC size limit?

Thanks.

hi

max size of the IDoc is <b>1000 Bytes</b>.

check the field <b>SDATA</b> in <b>EDID4 table</b>.

Cheers,

Hi Abdul,

I there anyway that I can control the max size of IDOCs?

No you cannot.

the max size is 1000 bytes.

Hi Abdul,

so what you are saying is ... if I have 347KB of information that I want to send, then 347 outbound files are created?

Hi Rob,

Your IDoc consists of segments which will actually hold the records.

Each segment can hold a max of 1000 bytes of data.

For instance the segment E1MAKTM of the IDoc type MATMAS01 cannot hold more than 1000 bytes of data.

If you exceed this size then your IDoc will end up with an error.

Have a look at the IDoc type MATMAS01 in WE30.

Hi Abdul,

perhaps I did not describe the initial question clear enough. The question was how to find the size threshold for the entire IDOC. Here is what happend in our system. After writing approximately 35mb of information to a file, another file was created automatically. We cannot figure out why this happened, however, we assume that it is due to a file size limit. What do you think?
