Conversion agent mapping

Does conversion agent or XI provide any out of the box mapping content to map conversion agent's EDI XML schema and IDOC XML? For example is there a mapping content (in CA or XI) between EDI_MSG_850_Purchase_Order and Orders.Orders05?  If so where can I get it?
But I know it provides conversion of native edi to xml format via adapter modules.
I read lot of blogs and forums, but couldn't find this information.
Thanks

Hi,
Why dont u got for seeburger for the EDI mapping into XML,seeburger have the standasrd mappings which are predefined and u have to define them in ur module tab in adapter.
Coverstion agant is a tool which will convert any type data that u imazine into XML but it done have the standard mappings predifined.

  • Conversion Agent by Informatica - serializing mappers

    Hi Guys,
    I need to create a Conversion agent module (To be called with in Comm channel of XI).
    The module will be constructed of a parser and 2 mappers.
    1st parser will parse a CSV file to XML.
    2nd mapper will change the XML structure from non-hierarchical to Hierarchy XML .
    3rd map will perform Additional transformation before the SAP PI standard adapter module is called.
    please elaborate - does this method of transformation can be carried out using the ItemField tool.
    and if so, how (what function should I call+short explanation)

    > Will the standard CallAdapter module be able to still mange
    > the archive of the original mesasge although the ouput of each converison module
    > is different?
    Yes, as long as the output of each stage is compatabile with the input of the next stage. You can imagine this as a module chain with each step in a serail fashion.
    >Original file - CSV.
    > Parser - output XML
    > Mapper - output XML
    > Need to archive the roginal CSV..
    You can do this while you are picking up the file using the File adapter. Please see the below link. you have to set the processing mode as "Archive".

  • Conversion Agent Error - CMException

    Hi ,
    We are trying to map an excel file to another system using conversion Agent for transformation. We have created the transformation in the Conversion Agent Studio and deployed the service in our integration engine on XI Server(in the serviceDB folder).
    But the file is not getting transformed and the message is failing in the communication channel only giving the below errors . ( Runtime WorkBench - > Communication Channel monitoring ) .
    The source file is getting picked up from the respective folder where it has been placed, and also the TransformBean is being called too.
    "Attempt to process file failed with com.itemfield.contentMaster.CMException".
    "Transformation failed : CMException : Failure while trying to create engine log .

  • Message split using conversion Agent

    Hello,
    I am trying to use a mapper that splits a bulk message into small messages in conversion agent and deploy in file sender adapter module. I could write the small individual output messages. But they are written in results folder and I couldnt see them in XI environment when deployed.
    Does CA support multiple output xmls? has anybody done that? plz help..

    Steve,
    So I have to split a message only in mapping? How do I then handle a bulk message? Can I not read a big message and split into individual messages using CA? In the Message monitoring, I wont see N number of messages for a one message that came in? Can you plz send some reference or help or sap notes which says it cant be split in Module? This is a very big business impact decision if that cant be done...
    Thank you..

  • Seeburger EDI conversion Vs XI Conversion Agent EDI conversion?

    We have implemented Seeburger's EDI solution at a client, and our another client wants to an EDI solution for them.
    I cam across this weblog, and it is very interesting. I have some questions.
    1. Does Converstion Agent support the converstion of all versions of native EDI X12 and EDIFACT to the corresponding XML verions, and vice versa.
    2. What are the differences between Seeburger's and XI Conversion Agent's EDI soultions?
    Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.
    Karma

    Hi Karma,
    SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. The Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.
    Have a look at these links:
    /people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield
    /people/paul.medaille/blog/2005/11/17/more-on-the-sap-conversion-agent-by-itemfield

    Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
    These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.
    For more i would suggest you to go through these links:
    http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/Butler_Group_SEEBURGER_Technology_Audit.pdf
    http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/AS2_General_Overview.pdf
    Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.
    The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:
    1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
    2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
    3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.
    4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI.
    5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
    Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

    There are also a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.
    inbound EDI to R3
    1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.
    outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system
    1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)
    2.use a file adapter3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.
    have a look at this example:

  • Conversion Agent in PI 7.1

    Hello Gurus,
    I just wanted to know the usage of Conversion Agent. Especially in cases of Idoc, how does the Conversion Agent help in retaining the Idoc fields.Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Swathi

    Hi Swathi,
    Conversion Agent is a tool that allows you to build XML from PDF's,. TXT and excel files, mappings
    for EDI etc. So, if your file is a .TXT file, then you can develop the mapping using Conversion
    aganet to convert the .txt file and then call the corresponding COnversion Agent Module from your
    file adapter.

  • XI supports EDIFACT without SAP Conversion Agent and others.

    Hello.
    Somebody knows the best way to convert EDIFACT message using XI?
    What I can do this without using softwares of conversion like:
    - SAP Conversion Agent;
    - Seeburger;
    - BIC Mapper and others.
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi,
    See for converting the EDI XML to EDI you need to have a mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

    HI,
      i saw a blog which shows the conversion of EDIFACT to IDOC byy using conversion agent in XI.

    i want to convert a EDI850 a   ANSIX12  document into IDOC......
    Can someone help...........?

    Hi Mithun,
    I think you are aware of the fact that SAPXI system doesnt understand the EDI messages directly.....So in u r case u need to first tranform EDI data into XML format in whcih the XI can understand...........So for EDI -to->XML...u need SEEBURGER (BIC Design mapper tool do define the mapping between EDI and XML) by which u can convert the message into XML.
    And in XI system u can convert the tranformed XML into IDOC using mapping editor.............
    So u cant directly convert the EDI messages into idoc in XI....

  • Conversion Agent and the module processor

    Hi,
    i have to make an offer for a client of ours. Therefore i was thinking to propose the conversion agent for developing a process module into the inbound communication channel in the XI-Scenario.
    But i think i understand sth wrong or does this module substitute the normal mapping inside the XI?!
    Can someone give me a hand?!
    thx in advance

    Jens,
    Conversion Agrent is used to convert non XMl data into XML and vice versa.
    For example it can read a PDF, EXCEL and conevrt it into XMl and also convert XML into EDI formats etc etc.
    You use the conversion agent studio to develop the conversion mapping and then deploy it as a module. From the comm channel you call the Conversion Agrent Module which in turn runs on its own Engine and does the conversion for you.
    So, if possible, you can also use conversion agent to actually read your source and create iyt in the format of the target and thgerbey replace Mapping. But, it all depends on  the feasibility of what you are trying to do.

  • Create EDI 997 with conversion agent

    Hello,
    I work with conversion agent by ItemField to convert EDI messages to xi and from XI to EDI.
    I succeeded to receive EDI 850, to parse this message and to transfer it to the IDOC and create purchase order.
    Now I try to send back to the customer EDI acknowledgment (997).
    I'll be happy to hear if someone use with conversion agent to create EDI 997.
    Elad

    Hi Elad,
    What are 997s?
    997 Functional Acknowledgments are EDI transactions that a receiver of EDI transaction sets sends back to the party that sent the EDI transaction sets. All EDI transactions require an EDI 997 to be sent back.
    Here is an example
    Wal-Mart sends an EDI Purchase Order to a supplier. With EDI Standard X12, Wal-Mart expects a 997 to be sent back to them. The 997 lets Wal-Mart know that the supplier received the Purchase Order. It does not say that the supplier accepts the terms or conditions of the purchase order. It simply lets them know that the supplier successfully received the Purchase Order.
    Here is another example. A supplier sends Wal-Mart an EDI Invoice. Wal-Mart will send a 997 back to the supplier. The 997 informs the supplier that Wal-Mart has successfully received the invoice.
    CovalentWorks handles all of your EDI transactions for you, including 997s, as an outsourced EDI service. If you choose us as your EDI provider, our system will automatically send and receive all your 997 Functional Acknowledgements. And every one of them is processed for you at no charge.
    Thanks,
