Sap39idoccnvtool -file=name of config file

CHAPTER 1 Migrating to Adapter for SAP R/3 Version 3.9

2Load the outbound format for the newly extended IDoc into a temporary 5.6 database using the 3.9 SAP adapter. (The example assumes an extended IDoc named ZABSEN1 was made from the base IDoc ABSEN1.)

3Export only the outbound format of the IDoc loaded in the previous step using the NNFie utility provided with Formatter 5.x.

Example:

C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e zabsen1.oc.5x.exp -m SAP.OC.ZABSEN1 -s nnfie

4Edit the configuration file for the conversion tool to indicate:

•The names of the two format export files created in step 1 and step 3 of this procedure.

•The name that you want to use for the converted format. (This name is arbitrary.)

5To run the conversion tool, type the command using the following as an example:

sap39idoccnvtool -file=<name of config file>

The format export files and the configuration file used to load the 3.9 schema should be placed in the SAP-3_9/bin folder. The command must be run from this same folder.

6Inspect the log file produced by the conversion utility for errors.

7Import the format created by the conversion utility into the target database using the NNFie utility provided with Formatter 5.x.

Example:

C:\ConversionTests\>nnfie -i zabsen1.oc.conv.exp -g -s nnfie

8Test the format by using it as the target format for reformatting a test message.

Note The way extended IDocs are treated is the major consideration for the conversion process between Adapter for SAP R/3 versions 3.8 and 3.9. Extended IDocs are no longer considered special situations.
