Load the outbound format for the newly extended IDoc into a temporary 
5.6 database using the 3.9 SAP adapter. (The example assumes an 
extended IDoc named ZABSEN1 was made from the base IDoc 
ABSEN1.)
3
Export only the outbound format of the IDoc loaded in the previous step 
using the NNFie utility provided with Formatter 5.x.
Example:
 C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e zabsen1.oc.5x.exp -m 
SAP.OC.ZABSEN1 -s nnfie
4
 Edit the configuration file for the conversion tool to indicate:
The names of the two format export files created in step 1 and step 3 
of this procedure. 
The name that you want to use for the converted format. (This name 
is arbitrary.)
5
To run the conversion tool, type the command using the following as an 
example:
 sap39idoccnvtool -file=<name of config file>
The format export files and the configuration file used to load the 3.9 
schema should be placed in the SAP-3_9/bin folder. The command must 
be run from this same folder.
6
Inspect the log file produced by the conversion utility for errors.
7
Import the format created by the conversion utility into the target database 
using the NNFie utility provided with Formatter 5.x.
Example: 
C:\ConversionTests\>nnfie -i zabsen1.oc.conv.exp -g 
-s nnfie
8
 Test the format by using it as the target format for reformatting a test 
message.
Note  
The way extended IDocs are treated is the major consideration for the 
conversion process between Adapter for SAP R/3 versions 3.8 and 3.9. 
Extended IDocs are no longer considered special situations.
