Complex file receiver content conversion

Hi
My challenge is to change this xml structure to a flat file structure using content conversion in a file receiver adapter. My problem is, that I have a record within a record and both records can occur multiple times:
<statusUpdate_response>
   <ProcessID/>
   <SenderSystem/>
   <Results>
      <ResultList> (0..unbound)
            <OKKode/>
            <Reference/>
            <Result/>
            <ResultDetail> (0..unbound)
                 <TYPE/>
                 <ID/>
                 <NUMBER/>
           </ResultDetail>
      </ResultList>
   </Results>
</statusUpdate_response>
Any suggestions?
Maybe some sort of xml flattener before doing the content conversion would do the trick, but then again how is that to be done?

File receiver content conversion fields attributes

hi,
i am trying to use file adapter to write this xml to flat file but all attributes of the fields are not written to file ( only elements are written).
the xml file is:

Hi
Assuming the scenario you are trying to implement is XML file to Flat file. You need to map the input structure including attributes to the flat file structure. Then in your content conversion output the flat file structure.
Thanks

     </n0:CostCentre>
</n0:CostCentreServiceCreateRequest>
I want to write it to a CSV file. However, I only want to write the values in the <Record> element and ignore everything else. Is this possible? At the moment, in my content conversion, I have Record entered in the Recordset Structure field. In the details below that I am setting the Record.addHeaderLine, Record.headerLine, Record.fieldSeparator, and Record.endSeparator attributes.
However, what this generates is the following:
CODE,NAME,vaild_to_date,vaild_from_date,description,person_responsible,department,category,company_code,currency,actual_primary_posting_locked_flag,actual_revenu_posting_locked_flag,costing_sheet
4E77DA9E-8943-0099-E100-8000AC182411|2011-09-19T14:00:00Z|SAP|MDS|CostCentreServiceCreateRequest
0010100010
It includes the <n0:ESB_Header> values (which I dont want) and only the first value of <Record>.
Ideally the output would look like this:
CODE|NAME|vaild_to_date|vaild_from_date|description|person_responsible|department|category|company_code|currency|actual_primary_posting_locked_flag|actual_revenu_posting_locked_flag|costing_sheet
0010100010|Edu and Train Access|1900-07-01|9999-12-31|Education and Training Access|Shala Karan|ErlyChld Prg|1|1010|AUD|Z00001
Notice also that the Header is pipe delimited. Is there anyway to set this? So far I can only get the header to be comma delimited.
Thanks,
Krishneel

Yes its possible. Rest all configuration seems to be fine. Refer the following link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/686e687f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Try to refresh cache as well. It might be taking old configuration.

Issue with Xi File Receiver "Content Conversion" fixed length and kanji

I need to create a fixed length file for a customer that has kanji (SJIS) characters in it. The issue is when the length of the value is less than the fixed length. It is padding out with spaces, but it is putting 2 bytes per space instead of one (But it seems to have counted the padding in characters...).
.fieldFixedLengths: 8,6,40,40
.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
.fieldNames: date,time,name1,name2
Receiver, please don't answer for sender.
File Adapter

Paul,
Can you please tell what is coming in the output file if the values are:
date: 062309
time: 2240
name1: hello
name2: hello2
When you put space here and if it is not showing correctly just to interpret you can use S which will stand for space.

as you can see 8 fields, separated with whitespaces
and i want and xml file which looks like this:

Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?
And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1
--------Field8 0..1

...file Sender content conversion 'lastFieldsOptional' error

Plz suggest some parameter to ignore the last row/field of the file.
Regs,
Ansh

Ansh,
.lastFieldsOptional is obselete and you cannot use. Please see sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
The best thing comes to my mind is use:
.keepIncompleteFields as YES
Also give a try with:
.missingLastfields as add
So with this I think your last line in the file will read into XI. But the value of last line is **EOF**. So the length is 9. Since your the first two fixed lengths are 6 and 8. You will have these values as ***EOF and ***. So while mapping you can use doesnot satrt with * and map it, so that your last line will be ignored.
Note: with this apporach you have to make sure your first two columns never start with *. If you have a doubt then you can use the condition doesnot equal to ***EOF for first field and doesnot equal to *** for the second field when you map. I hope it makes sense to you.

Problem in message mapping due to file sender content conversion

Hi all
basically i m using file sender content conversion and couldn't make file in a proper nested structure where weight was the nested field of detail as there is a limitation of content conversion in file adapter:
My file came out like this:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<trailer>
</trailer>
and i wanted it like:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so now the problem is i want to generate an idoc from it....but theres no way out to determine which weight is related to what detail except that the weight related to detail 1 comes after start and end of detail 1 tag and then weights of second detail comes after start and end of detail 2 tag in my source xml file.
The structure of the target idoc is
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so i was wondering if i can make a user defined function in which i feed detail and weight and result a flag d1/ d2 inside the tag field. My logic is smth like
while detail is 1 make all the tag weights coming after detail 1 inside <detail1> tag then resultlist.CC for context change then while detail is 2 make a loop to fill the weight coming after detail 2 inside the <detail2>
Is this possible by any means. I really need help
Thnks

Hi

File sender content conversion

hello
I have a txt file sender content conversion in SAP PI.
I define in the content conversion 6 fields names(field1, field2, field3,field4,field5,field 6) but the fie that I am loading has only three field(field1,field2,field3). the file is still loading though there is a different in the structure between what I define in the PI to what is loading to the PI.
is there a way to send an error with out loading the file?
I read about the count function in the mapping. isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
Thanks
Kfir

If you define 6 fields and only 3 are present in the test file then you wont get an error (AFAIK)
However, if you define 3 fields and there are 6 present in the source file then you will get an error saying more number of parameters found.
isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
I dont think so....this may however be achieved using a custom adapter module.
Update:
Just remembered that SAP PI (7.1 and above) comes with inbuilt XML-validation function....check if that helps in your design.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Challenge in File Sender Content Conversion

Hi,
I have a real challenge concerning File Sender content conversion in SAP XI.
My flat file looks like this:
##H   300
MAR   206
KAS 1
DAT 01.03.08
ART 1.129
KUN 118
EAN 4.499
REL 5.0j 16.05.06
SER             1
##E   300
##H   301
DAT 01.03.08
ZEI 07:54
KAS 1
##E   301
Each row represents a data field and has two values: The first one defines the field name, the second represents the field value. E.g. 'DAT' stands for Date and has the value 01.03.08 in the example.
The fields belonging together in one data set are enclosed by a start qualiefier (##H)and an end qualifier (##E).
The value after these qualifiers (i.e. '300' and '301' in the example above) represent a certain record type, e.g. '300' represents Customer data and '301' represents Account Data.
Is it possible with file content conversion to create the following XML structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_DATA xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/account">
     <300>
          <MAR>206</MAR>
          <KAS>1</KAS>
          <DAT>01.03.08</DAT>
          <ART>1.129</ART>
          <KUN>118</KUN>
          <EAN>4.499</EAN>
          <REL>5.0j 16.05.06</REL>
          <SER>1</SER>
     </300>
     <301>
          <DAT>01.03.08</DAT>
          <ZEI>07:54</ZEI>
          <KAS>1</KAS>
     </301>
</ns0:MT_DATA>
If it is not possible with content conversion, what could be an alternative? Adapter Module? MultiMapping?
I'd really appreciate your input as I am working on this since several days without a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

It is not possible thru adapter..
There is one blog to convert such files to XML sing java mapping. Search for any flat file to Idoc or xml in the forum.

File Receiver cotent conversion

All,
we have an xml message of the following structure.
<target>
<data><name>j</name><title>manager</title></data>
<data><name>j2</name><title>manager2</title></data>
</target>
While we write the output flat file using content conversion. There is an empty line that is added on the top of the output text file. We have the following setting in the content conversion settings.
data.fieldFixedLengths 50,100
data.addHeaderLine 0
What might be the issue?
Thanks

I think i figured out why this happening. not sure how to resolve this. Note the highlighted line in the following xml. This node occurs once in the entire message and is used as a variable substitution parameter for the name of the output file.
<target>
<b><filename>output08142007.txt</filename></b>
<data><name>j</name><title>manager</title></data>

In the content conversion recordset structure - I have only given the <data> (since we dont need the filename inside the file). Due to the <filename> node, it is putting an empty line. If i remove the <filename> and hard code the value of theouput file in the comm channel, it writes the file without any empty lines.
Is there a way we can overcome this? or should we open an OSS ticket for this?
Thanks.

Receiver File Adapter Content Conversion Problem.

Hi All,
I am getting in receiver file adapter due to content conversion setting. Problem is that all the fields coming in file adapter are optional. In content conversion , i have specified fieldfixedlengths. So whenever any optional field is not present , it fails . How should we handle it? is there any option to declare fields as optional, I know that is the there for sender adapter. But no. of fields is also very large, so putting each and every field as optional is very time consuming.
What should i do?

Hi Daniele,
Instead of using the standard funciton , i created a UDF for handling this situation.
My logic is UDF is like
   //write your code here
int Size = Integer.parseInt(Truncate_Size);
String Return_Value = "";
     if (!("".equals(Input)) )
          if (Input.length() > Size )
               Return_Value = Input.substring(0,Size);
          else
               Return_Value = Input.substring(0, Input.length());
     else
          for(int i = 0; i< Size ; i++)
          Return_Value = Return_Value + " " ;
return Return_Value;
SO in this case also , it should be able to handle empy source element. But it is not working.

Receiver File Adapter - Content Conversion

Hi,
I don't quite get this:
I have a structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AnElement1>
   <AnElement2>
      Bla bla bla
   </AnElement2>
</AnElement1>
I want to convert this to a flat file with a line containing
Bla bla bla
In te receiver file adapter I define the following:
In the 'Content Conversion Parameters'
Recordset Structure : AnElement2
Name                         Value
AnElement2.addHeaderLine         0
AnElement2.fieldSeparator        'nl'
AnElement2.endSeparator          'nl'
This results in an Empty file each time indicating some error somewhere.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Andre

Receiving file adapter content conversion issue

Guys,
Could someone please help me with a Receiving file adapter issue?
My output structure is something like this:
Vendor_file_MT (occurence 1)
--Recordset (occurence 0..unbounded)
Vendor (occurence 1)
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field73
Field74
My content conversion is very simple:
Recordset Structure: Vendor
Parameters:
Vendor.fieldFixedLengths   30,30,30, (...) ,1,27
Vendor.fixedLengthTooShortHandling   Cut
Vendor.endSeparator   'nl'
If I don't do the content conversion, it works fine, I get all the fields in the XML format.
When I do the content conversion however, I get multiple lines but only the very first field of each line.
What could be the problem? What am I missing here? Any idea?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor

Varga:
Its little strange that its not working even after adding that. Did you check the receiver channel in your RWB for any logs. Add the statement in my previous post and Also try to clear the Cache and activate the channel again..See if it works
Glad it worked

FIle Adapter Receiver - Content Conversion

I have a xml file as below that I am trying to convert to a simple csv file. All I get is a blank csv file at the ouptput. I tried different setting for the file conversion in the reveiver file adapter. No luck yet. I could write to an output XML file with no problem, so my interface is working!
The SAP Help doesn't provide much info on this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thnaks.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns:PlantMaintenanceMessageType xmlns:ns="http://cs.par/demo/plantmaintenance">
<EquipmentID>10005661</EquipmentID>
<FunctionalLocation>KB</FunctionalLocation>
<Date />
<Time />
</ns:PlantMaintenanceMessageType>

What is your root node ?
For your content conversion you need to specify the Recordset Structure but in your case i dont find an entry for the same.
If your XML had an extra tag like
xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns:PlantMaintenanceMessageType xmlns:ns="http://cs.par/demo/plantmaintenance">
<b><details></b>
<EquipmentID>10005661</EquipmentID>
<FunctionalLocation>KB</FunctionalLocation>
<Date />
<Time />
<b></details></b></ns:PlantMaintenanceMessageType>
then your record set structure wud be details
and in you content conversion parameters you cud say
details.fieldSeparator -> ,
details.endSeparator 'nl'
I guess you are on sp13 or above hence there even if you content conversion fails a blank file will be created (thats what i have experienced).
