Hi Pradeep,
not sure whether this is possible via the FILE port, but it is definitely possible using SAP Business Connector:
- Install SAP BC (e.g. on the same host)
- Change ALE settings to use tRFC port and send IDoc to SAP BC
- Configure SAP BC to create tab-separated file from IDoc data and store it in the required location
SAP BC and its documentation is available for free from https://service.sap.com/sbc-download
Remarks:
- Creating a tab-separated file from IDoc data would require a few lines of Java code on the SAP BC, but it's not really difficult.
- Alternatively, most common EDI formats like ANSI X12, UN/EDIFACT, VICS, UCS, and EANCOM can be generated "automatically", if you install the WmEDI add-on on the SAP BC. (I can give you more details on this, if required.)
- Depending on what needs to be done with the generated file, (e.g. send it to an external receiver via http, ftp, email, etc.) SAP BC can also do that instead of only saving the file to disc. I may be able to give you further recommendations, if I know your exact requirements.
Best Regards, Ulrich
