Export only the original outbound format using the NNFie utility provided 
with Formatter 5.x.

Example:

C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e absen1.oc.5x.exp -m 

SAP.OC.ABSEN1 -s nnfie

2

Load the outbound format for the new version of the IDoc into a temporary 
5.6 database using the 3.9 SAP adapter (the example assumes a new 
version of ABSEN was released - ABSEN2).

3

Export only the outbound format of the IDoc loaded in the previous step 
using the NNFie utility provided Formatter 5.x.

 Example: 

C:\sybase\bin>nnfie -e absen2.oc.5x.exp -m 

SAP.OC.ABSEN2 -s nnfie

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:

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 absen2.oc.conv.exp -g -

s nnfie

8

Test the format by using it as the target format for reformatting a test 
message.
