The Connect for XML Converters product does not support the conversion of Native flatfiles in Idoc format to Idoc xml format.

There is no automatic discovery of IDOC files. Unlike EDI standards, there is no central repository of IDOC formats. The structure is defined in a SAP R/3 instance which the formats can be modified. Since IDOCs do not have even delimiters or standardized metadata, there is no way to automatically detect them or configure a tool to use them.
