Lookup in XI SP9

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to keep track of a sequence number used in files to make sure we dont get the same sequence number again. All of the files have the same name but there is a value in the file that changes.

We dont want to use a JDBC lookup because that means we have to maintain a database for just that one field.

Is there any way within XI to store sequence numbers?

Thanks

Hi,

According to ur requirement we an do using UDF function, but it is not suggested way by SAP, better to choose RFC lookup. We can sort out easily.

Ok. I will use an RFC lookup.

Can someone suggest a blog that could help me with this?

Thanks

Hi,

U can maintain the no in XI r3 table, use the R3 lookup to do the same.

Is this functionality available on SP9? We are way behind the latest version.

Yes, you shd be able to use this functionality...

use a file on NFTS, you can store values in that file and use it when requries. but this is not a feasable solution.

RFC lookup is best option, you can store the details in a table on ABAP stack and update it when required.

With the RFC lookup there is a table created on the ABAP stack of the XI box?

We also need to be able to manually edit the sequence numbers in case there are errors and a file needs to be re-sent. Will this be possible if we are using the RFC lookup?
