Itron and pulse format

[Shabarish_Nair]

We are integrating an Itron meter reading system with SAP (Utilities) using SAP XI. Itron is giving the file in its proprietary format ( Pulse Format).

Sample data:

F = B = B : ? 9 = 1 5 2 5 2 7 5 : 3 7

1) How can I convert this to human readable format?

2) Is there a standard functionality in SAP to read such files?

Guys, any inputs on this regard is appreciated.

Hi,

Conversion rules has to be provided by functional consultants.

Meaning of these Pulse format also has to be done by them.

Hi,

Once you know the meaning of each field of the file accordingly you can generate your data type.

And by doin FCC this can be done.

in What format you are getting these files?
