Multiple files in zip folder

[Former Member]

Hi

I am working on a scenario File-> XI-> BW

<b>Question 1.</b>

I would be getting a zip file which will have 3 files, I know how to unzip the file. Once file is unzipped then I will create three different data types and message types as the layout is different. So now how would file be mapped to each data types correctly?

<b>Question 2.</b>

How can I map three data types to one target message type calling BAPI by using ABAP proxy in target system(BW).

Rinku,

First of all these are three separate interfaces or one interface only. If they are separate then according to the filename each interface will run. Please shed some more light on this?

It's only one interface and these three files have to be mapped to one BAPI....

three files are like header.txt, item.txt and payment.txt

Rinku,

Why dont you do multimapping then. Check this weblog on how to do this:

Rinku,

As you said that you will unzip the files, I want to know whether it will be placed in any File System? If yes please follow the below steps.

Since you are receiving 3 files ,I would suggest you to go for BPM. Please follow the below help, to achieve the part 1

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0e/56373f7853494fe10000000a114084/content.htm

You have already created 3 DT& MT right? Create one more DT & MT with the combined structure of those three inputs, so this is part 1, you can see the help and achieve the same.

Now you got all the combined structure inside BPM, the part 2 is map this combined MT to your reqd BAPI structure inside BPM Transformation step.

Hope it helps!!!

Please reply back , if not.

Best regards,

Hi Satish,

As in FAQ section they have mentioned that this is not applicable for IDOCs as it is not part of AE...it's part of integeration Engin so I am presuming won't be applicable for BAPI too.

Please let me know the alternative solution...

Hi Raj,

This seems to be a helpfull answer, but I hope by using BPM there won't be any performance issue.

Rinku,

I think it is not applicable to adapters which run on Integration Engine i.e, IDoc or HTTP. But it is applicable to all the adapters which run on the Adapter Engine. Since you are using BAPI I though you are going to use RFC Adapter which will run on the Adapter engine. That is the reason why I have given you this.

Rinku,

We can avoid BPM , but in your case since 3 interfaces is reaching same target I doesn't know how to collect all these except BPM.

Satish,

I would be using ABAP proxy so I guess which is part of IE not AE.

Hi Raj

Can you give me step by step deatials how to do the configuration.

Rinku,

Have you created all the 4 DT & MT. First do the mapping part for 3 MT to Combined MT. Then Combined MT to BAPI Structure.

Create Abstract interface for all those MT.

Step 1 : Create Fork step with 3 branches. (Place 3 Receive steps Parallel , make each receive step as start process)

Step 2 : Transformation step (Mapping 3 source to one target)

Step 3 : Transformatio step (Mapping the previous step o/p to BAPI structure)

Step 4 : Send

Best regards,

Rinku,

Does these three files have any fields in common, then use correlation with that field.

I really doesn't know whether the above steps help you are not, since I came home I don't have access to XI system to tell the exact technical steps to do so. But the above steps are logically correct in order to achieve till the BAPI mapping.

Hi Raj,

Files has first 5 common fields, can you ammend the steps with correlation. I am writitng tech specs and once get system access will configure the same and let you know if it worked or not.

Rinku,

Tommorow morning I'll send you the exact flow and the scenario details send test mail to sapient.xi@gmail.com

Best regards,
