SendIDocToR3 Method (SAP Library - IDoc Connector for XML Component (BC-FES-AIT))

SendIDocToR3 Method

Use

Converts the specified XML document into an IDoc, and then sends it to the R/3 system as an inbound IDoc.

The specified XML document can come from a file or you can create it in your client application.

Syntax

SendIDocToR3(rfcfunction, xmlsource)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rfcfunction	IDOC_RFC_NAME	The name of the RFC function to use for sending the IDoc to R/3. IDOC_RFC_NAME is an enumerated type that can take one of the two following values:
		IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS	Send the IDoc asynchronously
		INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS	Send the IDoc synchronously
xmlsource	String	The XML source to use for converting into an inbound IDoc. The string of this parameter can contain either one of the following: the full path to an XML file the actual contents of the XML document

VB Example

The following example uses the myXML.XML file in the root directory on the C: drive as the source XML. It sends an IDoc synchronously to R/3:

Call idoc.SendIDocToR3(INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS, "C:\myXML.XML")

For a more complete example of sending an inbound IDoc with the IDoc Connector for XML component, see Using the Component for Creating Inbound IDoc Documents.

Comments

The source XML file or actual text (as specified in the second parameter) must be a well formed XML document. It should contain the appropriate data and tags for creating a valid IDoc document. However, the SendIDocToR3 method only check the syntax of the source XML document. It does not check the validity of the IDoc resulting from this XML document.

Before sending the document, make sure that you supply the necessary connection information to the SAPIDocProcessorInbound object. You can do so by either using the SetConnectionParameters method, or by setting the Connection property. See the details in these topics.
