Happy New Year Everyone!!!
For readers of my 3-Part series on How to Support Industry Standards in XI (Part I of III) - Interfaces, I recommended using a website called the IFR (ie: the SAP Interface Repository) in my blog IDOC Information on IFR....Sadly, the IFR and its useful IDOC reference info seems to have left our virtual world by dying a silent death. The SAP Universe will not be the same without it...
Just as a reminder, there was a disclaimer on the previous IFR website stating that "SAP reserves the right to deactivate the IFR homepage without prior notice." It seems the plug has finally been pulled, dear reader. You'll have to find another source for this info.

Folks have noticed the IFR's absence in the past, based on these previous SDN forum posts:
Where did IFR (http://ifr.sap.com/) go?
ifr.sap.com is down?
sap interface repository
The ERP Genie also has a good tip on displaying documentation on the segment fields:
For those of you who have noticed that WE60 doesn't show the detailed documentation in the MySAP environments and like me have been using the old 4.6c systems for reference, you can modify your personal settings to show the documentation by default; here's the note: "As of Release 6.10, in transactions WE60 and WE63, documentation is no longer generated by default for the segment fields when the documentation is generated. To activate the generation of the documentation from the corresponding data elements, proceed as follows: WE60/WE63. > Goto > User settings. Here you must set the indicator for 'Display of the documentation' under 'Display attributes for IDOC types' and then save the change. Now the documentation is also displayed for the segment fields when WE60/WE63 is executed.

Do you have any tips on where to get IDOC info???
