Need Help in Sender File Content Conversion

Hi All,
I request your expert advice on Sender File content Conversion. I need to process the below pasted file. I was able to achieve this by keeping a offset of 6 in Sender PI File Adapter (PI 7.1) to ignore first 6 lines and used a Unix script to remove last line"END OF REPORT".
Now my new requirement is I need to capture the date "DECEMBER 2009" from line 3. How can I do this. I have set offset as 6 so Adapter will start processing from line 7. If I don't set offset Interface fails. Please suggest. Thank you.

Problem with file content conversion for multiple substrcture. Please help!

Hi Experts,
   I am using file content conversion in file sender communication channel. The input file is a flat file with data like this:
   A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   I want the data in sender side after content conversion to be like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
     <ScheduleData>
          <line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
          <line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
          <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
     </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
I have tried many options in file content conversion but getting the data like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
     <ScheduleData>
          <line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
     </ScheduleData>
       <ScheduleData>
          <line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
       </ScheduleData>
       <ScheduleData>
          <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
       </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
Following are the settings/properties have configured in content conversion:
Document Name     Receive_Schedules
Document namespace     http://mynamespace
Document Offset     <no value>
Recordset Name     <no value>
Recordset namespace     <no value>
Recordset structure     ScheduleData,*
Recordset sequence     Ascending
Recordsets per message     1
Key field Name     <no value>
Key Field Type     String
ignoreRecordsetName     true
ScheduleData.endSeparator     'nl'
ScheduleData.fieldNames              line
ScheduleData.fieldSeparator     'nl'
How to get the desired message? What changes I need to do in content conversion settings? Please help!
thanks

Help required File Content Conversion.

Hi All,
Kindly help me in this topic i.e. File Content Conversion.

Hi Sreedhar,
Reward points if this helps
What is File Content Conversion?
File content conversion is used for converting flat files (fixed lenght, comma seperated) into XML messages for further processing by an integration engine. The internal XI processing (mapping, routing etc) is based on XML messages hence you need messages to be converted to XML.
SAP By default understands xml data structure. If your file is coming in an xml format you can process it as it is.
In case of file that is coming with a delimiter then you need to have File content conversion for SAP adpater to conver file into an XML structure which will then go to next step of Message Mapping.
Is knowledge of any programming language required?
No
What is its function?

Required help for Identifying diff. items in file content conversion.

Hi All,
I've to use a file content conversion parameters for a .txt file in which there are two objects. One is a header and the other is a item detail.
How do we get or mark the difference between both so that XI recognizes the particular line is a Header and the other is a Item detail
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sree.

Hi
Make use of a field which is common to header and item line which will always hold different values for header and item. Or otherwise if possible, add an extra field in the header and item lines, say 'Key' and use it in the 'Key Field Name' parameter in the adapter configuration. See this for details - [File Content Conversion for Complex Structures|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/20/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-complex-structures/].

Hi.
Try this.
First you need to use a message mapping and create a target structure to convert a similar output structure that do you want. like this
<Target>
-- Field1
-- Field2
-- Field3
-- Field4
-- Field5
-- Field6
-- Field7
-- Field8
-- Field9
</Target>.
Then map
keyfield1-> Field 1 ,keyfield2-> Field 2 , keyfield 3---> Field 3
map field1-> field4 .. for the others fields duplicate the Target node (right click) and map map field2-> field5 ..etc.
For the field 5 until field 9 map with constant ("'')
Then in you receiver comunication channel put simple parameters.
Target.fieldSeparator = |
Target.endSeparator = 'nl'

Problem in file content conversion from XML to CSV

Hi Experts,
I am finding problem in file content conversion. I need to convert the following XML file into CSV file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_CROSS_REF xmlns:ns0="urn:dabur:idoc2file:pos">
      <Update_type>2</Update_type>
      <PLU>00000000</PLU>
      <Cross_ref_PLU>7777777</Cross_ref_PLU>
      <Capture_PLU />
      <Package_size />
      <Package_desc />
</ns0:MT_CROSS_REF>
The output file data has to be like:
2,00000000,7777777,,,,
The problem I am facing is while specifying the content conversion parameters in communication channel i dont know what recordset structure i should mention as all the records are directly under root. If I mention recordset structure as "ns0:MT_CROSS_REF" and parameters as
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.fieldSeparator   ,
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.endSeparator    'nl'
i get error in communication channel monitoring and no file is posted.
Please help me as to what correct parameter i should mention in my case.
Thanks,
Regards,
Yash

Hi Chirag,
I cannot change the xml file as it comes after mapping idoc to a message type. How can I add ROOT in the xml? My message type is like MT_CROSS_REF and it has those 6 fields as in the XML (Update_type, PLU etc.). I do the mapping of these fields from a IDOC and get the XML.
I hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Yash

Complex file content conversion in case of CSV file

Hi Friends,
What you see below is generated from Excel i.e excel file saved as CSV file. This file i need to map in XI.
Problem is i have to take only the data and not the header part.
for e.g in this particular line
Employee ID          :,,E00315
I need only E0315 and not the header value. Similarly i have to find some solution to map all the required data.
Please suggest me how to use file content conversion in such scenarios.
Solution is required on top priority. Points will be immdly rewarded.
Thanks & Regards

Error in Receiver File adapter using File content Conversion

Hi,
I am getting the following error in the receiver file adapter.
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'statement.fieldFixedLengths' or 'statement.fieldSeparator' is missing
I am using the below parameters for FCC:
Recordset Structure - statement
statement.endSeparator - 'nl'
statement.fieldSeparator - '0X09'
statement.fieldNames -xblnr,wrbtr,newbs,kostl,newko,prctr,xref1,rke_wwfud,rke_wwst3,blart,bukrs,bldate,budat,gjahr,monat,ctype,waers,bktxt,posnr,wbs_element,mwxkz,businessplace,businessplace,c_waers,c_wrbtr,g_ctype,g_waers,g_wrbtr,h_ctype,h_waers,h_wrbtr,trade_id,lob,sgtxt,zuonr,reason_rev,ldgrp,tcode,lifnr
ignoreRecordsetName - true
Please let me know where i am going wrong.
Thanks,
Aparna

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm]

File Content Conversion - Receiver Adapter

Hi To All
I have an XML Structure
<LIST>
     <Seg1>
          <Element1>123</Element1>
     </Seg1>
     <Seg2>
          <Element1>ABC</Element1>
          <Element2>DEF</Element2>
          <Element3>GHF</Element3>
        </Seg2>
<LIST>
I'm using File content conversion in receiver Adapter
I want my output like this.
ABCDEFGHF
I don't need the Segment Seg1.
In my parameters RecordsetStructure only I have Seg2 and the details for this Segment
but When I receive a file, the adapter convert with segment 1.
123
ABCDEFGHF
can you help me?.

easiest alternative is mentioned here already, drop it in the mapping.
You can also try to write a java pgm and invoke it as an OS command. that cuts the segment1 out before passing it to content conversion. ..more painful..but will work.
