Test: Inbound Status File 

Use

This program is used to test whether status confirmations for an outbound IDoc are sent correctly from the external system to the R/3 System. The port type here must be set to "File".

Prerequisites

A correct status file which can be generated by an EDI subsystem, for example, is required. The status file must refer to an existing outbound IDoc in the R/3 System. You can also generate such a status file yourself.

The sender port must be recognized by the receiving system. The port must therefore be maintained as a port of type "File" in the port definition for the IDoc interface. The entry for the inbound file must also be specified here.

Features

The R/3 System reads the status file. The IDoc number contained in the file refers to the outbound IDoc, to which the status confirmation relates. The confirmed statuses are "credited" to the relevant IDoc in the form of status records in the R/3 System.

Activities

Start the test program via Test ® Process status file and set the inbound port and the name and directory of the file. These entries overwrite the default values, which you have stored in IDoc administration via the test port.
