Editing an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare Transformation

Editing an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare Transformation

You can edit an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation to set values for control record segments and change the data segments you want to include in the transformation. You can also modify the name and description of the transformation.
To edit an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation:
  1. In the Transformation Developer or Mapping Designer, double-click the title bar of the SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation.
    The Edit Transformations window appears.
  2. Click the IDoc Control Record tab.
    The IDoc Control Record tab displays the control record segments in the IDoc, their values, and precision. The Designer provides values for some of the segments when you create an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation. You can provide values for other segments. The PowerCenter Integration Service writes these values to the SAP system.
    You can enter values in the following ways:
    • Manually enter values for segments.
    • Connect to the SAP system to get predefined values for required segments.
  3. If you do not want to connect to the SAP system to get IDoc control record segment values, enter values for the segments you want.
    You can also enter a mapping variable for any segment.
  4. To get predefined values for required control record segments, click Get Partner Profile to connect to the SAP system.
    If you want to connect to the SAP system to get values for required control record segments, and you imported the IDoc metadata for the transformation from file, you can enter a value for MESTYP before clicking Get Partner Profile. When you connect to the SAP system, it displays the control record segments for the message type you want. Otherwise, locate the message type.
    The Connect to SAP dialog box appears.
  5. Enter the following connection information to connect to the SAP system:
    Field
    Description
    Connect String
    Required. DEST entry defined in the
    sapnwrfc.ini
     file for a connection to a specific SAP application server or for a connection that uses SAP load balancing.
    User Name
    Required. SAP source system connection user name. Must be a user for which you have created a source system connection.
    Password
    Required. Password for the user name.
    Client
    Required. SAP client number.
    Language
    Optional. Language you want for the mapping. Must be compatible with the PowerCenter Client code page. If you leave this option blank, PowerCenter uses the default language of the SAP system.
  6. Enter a partner number.
    The Connect to SAP dialog box displays the segment names and values for the Designer to include in the SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation.
  7. If you imported IDoc metadata for the SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation or entered a message type value for MESTYP on the IDoc Control Record tab, click Select. Go to step 9.
  8. If there is no value for the message type on the IDoc Control Record tab, click Next until you find the appropriate message type.
    Find the segments for the message type for which you created the SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation. For example, if you created an SAP/ALE IDoc Prepare transformation for the message type MATMAS, find the segments for the message type MATMAS.
  9. Click Select.
    Click Cancel if you do not want to use these values.
    The Designer prompts you to update the control record.
  10. Click Yes to update the control record. Or, click No to cancel.
  11. Click the IDoc Display tab.
  12. Select the IDoc segments you want to include in the transformation.
    You can manually select the segments you want to include in the transformation. Or, click Select All Segments to include all segments.
    Click Clear All Segments to remove all optional segments.
    When you select the segments, the transformation uses the following rules to select parent and child segments:
    • If you select a segment, its parent segments and all required child segments are selected.
    • If you clear a segment, all child segments are cleared.
  13. Click OK.
