SAP AIF - Possibility to create a recap file for all the IDOCs of the mapped interfaces

[former_member657583]

Hello Experts,

do you know if there is a way to create a file (i.e. txt), to be sent/shared with a defined frequency, which contains specific information (such as the idoc status, GUID, namespace etc.) for all the idocs of the interfaces that has been Mapped? Do you know if there is a FM that can be modified to do this?

Actually, I have already created all the structures and after the customizing Steps the AIF alerting system is working properly. I mean, for every idoc related to the mapped structure, a mail is sent to the assigned recipients and idocs are all visible on the Interface Monitor. Furthermore, the information (ie. idoc status, error message, namespace etc ) shared on emails are the ones I defined creating the alert category.

However, since I have different interfaces and a huge amount of idocs (mainly in inbound) related to them, the receiving system has problems to read the needed information from every single email.

I'd like to know if there is a way to sent/share the information mentioned above in a different way (no email, no fax, no sms etc) using for example with a kind of recap file for every interface containing the information of the related idocs (this file should be created every 5/10 min and collect the information needed)

Thank you in advance.

Hi Salvatore,

I'm not sure if I get your requirement correctly. Why do you need an additional information beeing send out collecting the information of message / status / interface? You can see this information in the interface monitor / error handling.

What do you mean with receiving system? You have one system where you monitor / process the IDocs and raise alerts. Those alerts are send to an additional system? What happens on that system? Are you looking for some kind of cross system monitoring?

Hello Britta,

thank you for your answer. Actually the client has an external system that can read the information i mentioned above from the emails , that the configured AIF system, send for the mapped interfaces. This system is used to collect data and make different types of analysis (i.e. Root cause analysis).

The problem is that they no longer want to extract information from emails since we are monitoring more and more interfaces and consequently more and more emails are sent to the assigned recipients for alert. In order to produce analysis they want extract the information described above also for all the idoc statuses (error, warning etc.). This mean that at the moment we send an email for every mapped idoc and after their system extracts the information needed from these emails.

In order to avoid this intensive email sending they want to extract the information needed through, for example, a file to sent them periodically (i.e. every 5/10 min )

In order to do that I would like to know if there is a way (I.e. editing an existing FM) using the already configured AIF. Indeed, they don't want to extract the information from tables such as the EDID4, EDIDC, EDIDS but they want to use the AIF to intercept these information and send them thought a file.

Thank you again
