You can import IDoc metadata for an SAP/ALE IDoc transformation from a local file.
To import IDoc metadata from a local file, run the RSEIDoc3 program from the SAP client to generate the metadata. When you run the program, select the IDoc type and range for the IDoc metadata you want to generate. The program exports the metadata it generates into a metadata file. For example, you can export the metadata to a file with the .
idc
extension. You can then use the metadata file to import the metadata into the Designer for use in the SAP/ALE IDoc transformation.
To generate IDoc metadata using the RSEIDoc3 program:
Enter transaction se38 from the SAP client.
Execute the RSEIDoc3 program.
Select the basic IDoc type and range.
If you are using SAP version 5.0 or later, click

Optionally, select extended IDoc type and range, if available.
