Display IDoc segments containing blank data

Axel Angeli, Logosworld

Published: 24 Jun 2003

I need to display all the IDoc segments even if it contains blank data. I.e. the IDoc file should be in uncompressed mode. What is your suggestion?
In the database table EDID4 the IDoc is always stored uncompressed exactly the way it has been received. If the segment has not been sent, then it is not there. The standard transaction WE05 unfortunately does compress the IDoc tree before it displays it. You may try WE19 instead. Not too practical, but it does the job for occasional needs.

Troubleshooting the ALE process This tip by Raja Thangamani on troubleshooting ALE processes will show you how to determine what code an IDoc is executing and take you step by step through high level error resolution for outbound and inbound IDocs.

ALE Scenario Development Guide for SAP XI In this thorough introduction to ALE development, SDN contributor Kevin William introduces ALE configuration and various ALE scenarios.

Blank value fields in IDocs This user has a requirement that all IDoc data, including null values, flow from his outbound processor to a SAP legacy system. However, he can't view the null values in the IDoc. Our expert explains why this is and remedies how to meet the user's requirement.

Managing multiple IDocs in one file If a file contains two IDocs (for example two messages ORDERS and DELVERY), then both IDocs contain ORDER and DELIVERY segments. That should not happen. What can be done about this problem?
