Retrieve IDoc schema via a service call

Posted on Aug 04, 2015 at 07:59 AM 92 Views

Hi,

I'm aware the schema for an IDoc type can be generated from WE60. I'm wondering if the same can be accessed either via a service call (HTTP/SOAP) to the SAP system or by executing a function module using JCo. I'm also aware of IDOCTYPE_READ_COMPLETE function module that can return the structure of the IDoc. But then I will have to parse this structure and create the schema myself if I were to call it from a Java application. Is there an easier way to achieve this.

Thanks,

Praneeth

    Hi Praneeth,

    If schema needs to get for SAP PI systems, then we can import directly to PI ESR.

    If requirement is to provide schema to other systems, then i think you can have option 'Export XSD' in WE60.

    Also check standard BAPI's like BAPI_PO_CREATE1

    Or

    look at the service at trnsaction SICF

    sap/bc/idoc_xml

    to this node the external application can post XML document (IDOC in xml format).

    Regards,prasanth

      Thanks Prasanth for your reply. I'm able to generate the XSD from WE60. Also, I'm aware of the service sap/bc/idoc_xml. My requirement is to connect to SAP system from a Java application and retrieve the XSD for a given IDoc type. I will then use this XSD to create data model in my non-SAP system. At runtime, based on the values set by the user on my data model, I will generate the XML and POST it to sap/bc/idoc_xml.

      I'm looking for ways to retrieve the XSD from Java either using an HTTP call or an RFC call using JCo library. I do not want someone to manually download the XSD from the SAP system and feed it into my non-SAP system to generate the data model.

      Hope you get my question.

      Thanks,

      Praneeth
