Sender File Communication Channel Configuration

47 Views

Hi guys,

We are trying to develop a file-to-Idoc scenario and we are facing some problems in the configuration of the sender file communication channel as far as the file format is concerned. The file, which is a material master file has the following structure:

00.00 FileHeader

30.00 Material n° 1

30.01 Material n° 1

30.00 Material n° 2

30.01 Material n° 2

30.00 Material n° n

30.01 Material n° n

99.00 FileFooter

Initially, I developed 4 datatypes, FileHeader, Record1, Record2 and FileFooter, and 1 datatype to incorporate all of these, but I faced trouble in 'Recordset Structure' attribute in communication channel, where "FileHeader,1,Record1,,Record2,,FileFooter,1" did not work.

After that I thought of creating one more datatype, called Record, with 0..* cardinality, that incorporates Record1 and Record2 with 1 cardinality.

Although I have declared them correctly as "FileHeader,1,Record,*,FileFooter,1" in 'Recordset Structure', I face trouble in the table with the attributes. What shall I use: I have Record1.fieldNames and Record2.fieldNames and fieldFixedLengths, but XI requires Record...

What you suggest?
