Converting IDoc Formats

•The conversion tool can only convert one format at a time, so each export file must contain only one top-level format. (For example, SAP.OC.DEBMAS04)

•The easiest way to provide the information necessary for a user to log into the SAP system is to use a functioning configuration file for the inbound IDoc process. The value of SAPInConfig key should be the name of this file. (For example, the Schema mode configuration file used to load the IDoc with Version 3.9. It should be in the SAP-3_9/bin folder.)

•The saprfc.ini file is required. The file is in the location pointed to by the RFC_INI environment variable.

•The log file created by running the conversion tool reports errors and conversion information. The conversion information is a summary of error messages and a list of items that have been converted. It should indicate that some field mappings were preserved; for example, see the log file at the end of this section (sample log for a run of the conversion tool that preserves mappings).

•The import of the format generated by the conversion tool should use the -g option to ignore the conflicts that are reported when the same components are loaded in multiple converted format files. For example, the Input/Output Control “SAP.Length.3” or the control for some other length value may exist in multiple format definitions. The definitions are identical, so there is no need to reload the component. The NNFie.log reports instances that were ignored.
