I have used SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net v2 to successfully send already formatted IDOCS to SAP.
Today I upgraded to the latest version of the connector. Unfortunately, this SAPIDocSender is not there anymore.
How should I now send those IDOCS to SAP?
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: Thanks! Unfortunately I want to avoid building the IDOC like it is described in the other Thread.
In v2 there was an option to send the whole IDOC string including all segments:
private static void SendIdoc()
{
SAP.Connector.RfcTID myTid = SAP.Connector.RfcTID.NewTID();
string connectionString = "ASHOST=xxxx SYSNR=xx CLIENT=xxx USER=xxx PASSWD=xxx LANG=xx";
string upperString = connectionString.ToUpper();
SAP.Connector.SAPIDocSender sapiDocSender = new SAPIDocSender(upperString);
sapiDocSender.SubmitIDoc(@"C:\Users\xxx\Documents\testidoc.txt", myTid);
sapiDocSender.ConfirmTID(myTid);
}
as far as I know there is now idoc helper in the current Net Connector 3. But if you have a file containing a valid idoc, you already have all the information you need.
The basics about sending Idocs to the SAP system are described here already, so I won't go into detail about that in this answer. To send your idoc file, you have to manually fill the control record (first line of your idoc) and the data records.
The control table requires some manual labor. Fortunately the control record is the same on all idocs, so you don't have to consider the idoc type your sending.
var fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fullFilepath);
var streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(fileStream);
string control = streamReader.ReadLine();
controlTable.Append();
controlTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("TABNAM", control.Substring(0, 10));
controlTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("MANDT", control.Substring(10, 3));
controlTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("DOCNUM", control.Substring(13, 16));
controlTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("DOCREL", control.Substring(29, 4));

var dataLine = streamReader.ReadLine();
while (dataLine != null) {
dataTable.Append();
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("SEGNAM", dataLine.SubString(0, 30));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("MANDT", dataLine.SubString(30, 3));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("DOCNUM", dataLine.SubString(33, 16));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("SEGNUM", dataLine.SubString(49, 6));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("PSGNUM", dataLine.SubString(55, 6));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("HLEVEL", dataLine.SubString(61, 2));
dataTable.CurrentRow.SetValue("SDATA", dataLine.SubString(63, dataLine.Length - 63));
dataLine = streamReader.ReadLine();
}
this snippet expects a single idoc in the file. If you have multiple idocs in one file, you need to split them by looking for the control record (the control record line usually starts with "EDI_DC40").
