Converting IDoc Formats

To update a currently used IDoc format in a 5.x Formatter database:

1Export only the original outbound format using the NNFie utility provided with Formatter 5.x.

Example:

C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e absen1.oc.5x.exp -m

SAP.OC.ABSEN1 -s nnfie

2Load the outbound format for the new version of the IDoc into a temporary 5.6 database using the 3.9 SAP adapter (the example assumes a new version of ABSEN was released - ABSEN2).

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

Example:

C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e absen2.oc.5x.exp -m

SAP.OC.ABSEN2 -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: 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 absen2.oc.conv.exp -g - s nnfie

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