Hi Experts,

c) What should be done if target system requires this batch IDOCs in split manner.

Please give me some tips. Your help will be well appreciated.

Hi Praveen,

if you want to have a batch of IDOCs in XI from ERP (r3)

then it's possible with EhP1 for PI 7.0

as per my blog : "sender IDOC adapter packaginig"

then you don't need any BPM etc to collect it

a) How a batch IDOCs can be made to single message?

Use idoc packaging. In IR export Idoc as xsd, change the occurrence of Idoc tag from 1 to 0..9999 and then reimport and use it at External Definition.

c) What should be done if target system requires this batch IDOCs in split manner.

If u use BPM, then in transform step, do the mapping to convert single idoc into multiple ones and store these individual idocs in multiline container variable if required.

Thanks to all.

But I have the situation in which BPM cannot be used.

Please let me know how can I do.

Actually for ur splitting requirement multi-mapping is required which is not possible without BPM for Idocs at receiver.

Hi Parveen,

I will give you one of the best Idea to implemet it.

Create an XML port in R/3. Write all your Idocs as a XML file, on server or any folder on server..

Mention packet size in Partner Profle to decide that how many Idocs you want to write in one XML file.

Use FTP channel to pick the XML Idoc in file from that folder. The scenario will look like

R/3>XMLFILE->FTP channel>Mapping-->Output.

It will come as a single message in XI.

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to add one more condition that I am in need of the Batch Idocs into XML and without ftp channel it needs to fed into XI for the mapping. Please let me know your views.

am in need of the Batch Idocs into XML and without ftp channel

Once the idocs are downloaded as xml, they can communicate with XI using File adapter only. Use FTP or NFS protocol. Other way is not possible if u use file port.
