Converting IDOC flat file for Z* IDOC not on connected SAP instance

, ,

I’m trying to process an IDOC flat file for a remote system that has a ZORDERS05 that isn’t defined on the local SAP instance. When I call “pub.sap.idoc:decodeString” it fails because it can’t find it and fetch the structure into the DDIC cache.

Is there a way to extract this information from the remote system and use it on the local webMethods instance?

Or is there a way to easily create a WmFlatFile definition for it without build it by hand?

Thanks,
Jeff

if we are looking for structure, then you can ask SAP team to download the DTD for that SAP Idoc and import the DTD in webMethods to create the structure of the IDOC.

If you have a SAP desingner plug-in installed on your Designer you should be able to pull the IDOC structure and create the IS docutment type. Check if that is the case.
