Custom messages using the std IDOC Namespace?

576 Views

Hi,

I am facing an unique problem. My Client's partner is sending me custom IDOC messsages in the IDOC-XML format over a HTTP channel (XI protocol - this is a PI to PI integration).

In my system I have to use the xsd file of the IDOC message to create the my Service interfaces. Although I can create interfaces with the same name as the IDOC I cannot create it under the std IDOC namespace ->urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages. PI Does not allow me define this namespace manually too (reserved NS). Since I am going to receive messages from the partner with the namespace "urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages" I will not be able to create a receiver determintion with those parameters...

Are there are work arounds for it...

I Would really like to avoid - >

1) USe my Pi to connect to the partners ECC system to downlod the ZIDOC structure

2) Ask my partner to map that IDOC-XML to some other message in a different namespace and then send it to me.

regards,

Arvind R
