How to Import an IDoc Format into a Type Tree in 4.6

If your Mercator system will be sending data to or reading data from an R/3 IDoc, you do not have to manually build the Type Tree. Instead, SAP provides a transaction for exporting an IDoc file, and Mercator has a wizard for importing the IDoc file. Using this method will greatly simplify your development process.

1. Import the IDoc from SAP to your KCApps drive.

a. Open SAP GUI and go to transaction WE63.

b. Select the appropriate Basic types.

c. Click the Execute icon or press F8.

d. When the IDoc returns, select the List menu then Download.

e. Select unconverted and click the Continue icon.

f. Save the file to the developement folder that is in your team’s folder as appropriate. A good practice is to name the file with the .ido.

Example: MATMAS03.ido

g. Click the Transfer button.

2. When the transfer is complete, open Mercator Type Designer.

a. Select “Import a type tree” and click OK.

Note: If you already have the Type Designer open, select the Tree menu then Import.

b. Import from R/3:IDOC and click Next.

c. Choose the correct operating system as appropriate. Click Next.

d. The character set is Native. Click Next.

e. The IDoc type is ALE. Click Next.

f. Save the file to the same location and file name as in step 1.f above. This time the extension will be .mtt. Click Next.

g. When the import is done processing, click Finish.

h. You do not need to make any changes to the type tree.
