Dear community,
I must admit that I am not an expert when it comes to IDoc processing. I feel that there is an easy answer to my questions. Here is the scenario:
My questions are as follows:
Of course it would be possible to handle the described scenario outside of an IDoc process, however I find it very elegant and charming to make use of all the standard functionalities available for IDocs.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards
Hi, André,
1. There is a tool in SAP called LSMW. It is supposed to parse text files and post the data into the system ( posting as IDOCs is an option among others). I think it sounds very much like your task, so you should probably have a look. With this tool you express all the importing logic with less coding and more configuring. The tool is quite old, maybe it doesn't look fashionable, but I think it's designed quite clearly and is well documented.
2. As for file ports, I think it is part of SAP integration solutions like ALE, and the idea behind this is to treat various external data sources in a unified way (whether data come from another SAP system through RFC, or from text file, or something else).

Hello Egor,
Thanks for your reply. I know LSMW and fully agree that although it looks a bit old fashioned, it represents a very powerful and flexible tool. For my scenario I decided not to use it for three reasons:
For this reason I decided to implement the interface via an inbound IDoc scenario.
Best regards
André
