How do we do File content conversion using SFTP SEEBURGER Adapter

HI All,
Can we do FCC using SFTP SEEBURGER adapter. If yes how?
XIer

Dynamic attributes are part of the XI message. They provide options for dynamical configuration of SFTP receiver channels (Outbound direction) using parameters that have been dynamically added or set by modules and mappings before the SFTP adapter. These attributes can be set using the Attribute Mapper module for example. Besides, the SFTP adapter dynamically adds specific parameters to the XI message on Inbound case, which can be used by the modules and mappings after SFTP adapter.

File content conversion using SOAP adapter

Hi,
     I'm using a receiver SOAP adapter in my IDOC to file scenario and need to do file content conversion in the receiver side.
Are any standard modules available for file content conversion in the SOAP adapter or do I need to write custom EJB modules for this.
Please note that I have to use a SOAP adapter, can't use any other adapter.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
XML Document Conversion Type
●      Enter recordTypes as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the complete, comma-separated list of all names of recordset types that occur in the document to be converted.
If you decide to use this method, you can define a different conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
For example, you could name the recordset types as follows: RecordType1,RecordType2,RecordType3.
●      Enter singleRecordType as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the name of a recordset type that is to be used to convert all elements that occur in the XML document.
If you decide to use this method, define the same conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
You must enter exactly one parameter only. Whichever parameter you choose, you automatically exclude the second parameter.
You define further parameters for each recordset type.
In the remainder of this documentation the parameters are specified by the prefix <RecordType>. In your configuration, replace this name with the name of the recordset type.
Conversion Type List with Separators
●      <RecordType>.fieldSeparator
Enter the field separator that is written between the individual fields of a record.
This specification is mandatory.
Conversion Type List with Fixed Field Length
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengths
Specify a character string that contains a list of fixed field lengths that are separated by commas and which determines the number and the length of fields generated in the text file.
For example, you want to write a recordset with three elements that have field widths of five, ten, and fifteen characters. Enter:
<RecordType>.fieldLengths = 5,10,15
This specification is mandatory.
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengthExceeded
Specify how you want to handle fields that exceed the configured field length. Permitted values for the parameter value are:
○       error (default)
Interrupts processing of message with error
○       cut
Cuts off superfluous characters
○       ignore
Ignores the field length restriction
Further Entries
●      <RecordType>.beginSeparator
Enter a string. The string is placed in front of the first field of a recordset.
●      <RecordType>.endSeparator
Enter a string. The string is appended to the last field of a recordset as a concluding character. The default is \r\n.
●      contentType
Enter the MIME type of the converted payload. The default value is text/plain.
●      addHeaderLine
Only define this parameter if you have already defined singleRecordType.
Define whether a header line is to be added to the result of the conversion.
○       none (default)
Does not insert a header line
○       fromXML
The header line is generated from the element name of the first recordset of the XML document
○       fromConfiguration
The header line is determined by the configuration parameter headerLine.
●      headerLine
Only define this parameter if you have already set addHeaderLine=fromConfiguration.
The value that you define is placed in front of the result of the conversion as a header line.
●      fixedLineWidth
Enter the maximum line length n (in characters) that can be written to the resulting document. The separator specified by lineSeparator is inserted in the resulting document every n characters.
●      lineSeparator
Only define this parameter if you have already defined fixedLineWidth.
Specify the string that is written to the resulting document at the end of each line that is written with fixedLineWidth. The default is \r\n.
Use of Special Characters
You can use special characters in the following parameters: <RecordType>.fieldSeparator, <RecordType>.beginSeparator, <RecordType>.endSeparator, headerLine, and lineSeparator.
●      Tabulator: \t
●      Carriage Return (CR): \r
●      Line Feed (LF): \n
●      Arbitrary character: \x<code>
<code>indicates the hexadecimal character code of the character to be displayed.

Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter

Hi All
I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
I have a file coming in the following format.
AA,111,222,333
BB,444,555,666
CC,777,888,999
My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
AA,111,222,333
<<BB,444,555,666>>
<<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
Please let me know
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Udo
According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
This is my source structure:
AA,11,22,33
BB,44,55,66
CC,77,88,99
This is my required targer structure:
AA,11,22,33
<<BB,44,55,66>>
<<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
I am using removecontext node function.
CC (Source) (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
Many Thanks
Chandra

File Content Conversion using Sender to Mapping

I have a sender that is mapping a flat file CSV and it maps it correctly, but when it is being send to the message mapping program it fails on the input parse with an exception:
Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:G8328_09B_Document/ns0:G8328_09BMessageType. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd
I am using an external definition as my input for the message mapping if I import the messge from the monitor payload and change the ns: to ns0: in the test tool it maps find. Can anyone tell me how to get the File adapter to generated ns0: instead of ns: in the input message coming out of the adapter.

The test tool mapping I remove the ns and replaced it with ns0.
Thanks for any help.
Arjun.

Hi Arjun,
A few points....
1. Namespace prefix being different does not cause mapping errors.
2. In your case, note the name space <b>xmlns:ns="http://nike.com/DEYTEL/RFCToJDBCInterface"</b> missing in XML generated
using IR.
3. The difference in Msg type names. After FCC it is G832<b>0</b>_09BMessageType where as in test tool it is G832<b>8</b>_09BMessageType.
Correct points 2 and 3, your issue will be solved.

Jai Shankar

File Content Conversion on the Sender Adapter in PI 7.1

Hi Experts
I am working on a file to Proxy scenario where my file is fixed format length which will have only one Structures (Details Records) that would be coming from the text file but in the message type I have delcared Header, Detail , Trailer,
However I would be receiving the only Detail part (No header and Trailer) in some instances what value should I give for the header and trailer in the Content conversion part,
Thanks
PR

Since you are going to get values only some instances for header and trailer node, you can create
Header structure & Trailer structure - make the occurence 0 to 1
Note: if your Header and Trailer values are empty for some instances then no worries. You declare FCC fields for header and trailer similar to Details.
Refer SAP FCC help link.

How to send XML file into XI using sender HTTP adapter

I am using HTTP sender adapter to post the XML file into XI. I tried to form the URL by using the following String query , but I am unable to execute file.
String urlString = "http://<servername:portno>/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=<namespace>&interface=<interface name>&service=<service name>&party=&agency=&scheme=&QOS=BE&sap-user=xiappluser&sap-password=satyam&sap-client=100&sap-language=EN";
How can I execute xml file by using HTTP sender adapter.
Any one with better suggestions, about this idea?
Thanks in advance for all.
Ram Raj

Hi
Just use the following parameter to send xml file using HTTP adapter.
"http://xiserver:8000/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace="senderNamespace"&interface=senderinterface&service=sender service";
"&party=sender party"&agency=&scheme=&QOS=BE&sap-user=userid &sap-password=password&sap-client=100&sap-language=D";
with the help of this you are able to point out which interface you would like to use.
And in payload pass the xml.
and thats it
carry on

File Content conversion at the sender adapter without Key field

Hi All,
I have a requirement ....We are using Message Transform Bean at the sender adapter (we are not going for FCC as we are tranforming a decryption) ..its is a flat file...
we dnot have a key field for one of the node .....we have total 5 nodes under parent node and one of the node does not have key field ....
NOTE: I guess we have to do either Java mapping or XSLT ..but not getting proper weblogs with program...
and not well versed with coding...i got few codes which were either not fulfilling requiremment or they use stream tranformation where it is decaprecated in NWDS and does not allow to compile it properly .
Can somebody get me a code for Java which uses Abstract tranformation ...which can full fill below requirement
parent node
              Node1
                   node 1a
                   node 1b
              Node 2
              Node 3
Input Flat file is in below format
example:
Employee Headre Flat files
Employee Detail Flat Files(this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Employee Trailer Flat Files
Loan Headre Flat files
Load Detaisl Flat Files (this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Loan Trailer Flat files
Assitance much appreciated thanks .

Hi Stefan,
I will rephrase the question i guess its communication gap...
1) we have an existing interface in 3.0..we are not copying the same interface to 7.1 as it was not according to standards and they are phasing out that system.
2) In 3.0 they are reading the Flat files under one record .. the structure is as follows:
Parent Node
           Node
               Row
They are reading all the flat files row by row.
and even in receiver they are reading in the similar fashion
3) In the current structure according to the FS we have to create a structure defined by them which is as below
      Employee
          Header
          Details   node 1
             Details node 1a
              Details node 1b
          Trailer
          Loan Header
          Loan Detail
          Loan Trailer
Receiver structure is
Employee
      Node (this will have the receiver fields which is about 30 fields)
4) We have pulled a sample file from 3.0 for the existing interface as we din get the sample file for existing one in FS and Iam not sure whn are they gonna send it.
5) In the existing interface payload we have everything matching even the field lengths and postions and even key fields and key fields we got from the FS
6) problem is we donot have key fields for the Details node 1a and 1b even in FS or the existing payload and we got an update from the FS consultant that we will be receiving these fields but without keyfields...
see i donot have any problem taking out the details 1a and 1b out of the details header and create the structure ,,,,but the main issue is without key field we will not be able to generate the 1a and 1b nodes or read it in the FCC or MTB (i have to use MTB as we are decryting the file from the sender).
Or is there any other method apart from java mapping or module development to handle these files

Regd file content conversion in receiver FTP adapter

Hi All,
I m trying to do FCC at receiver, i have to convert Idocxml in to a flat file.
Input structure is smthing like this:
MT_source
   <Header>
         <ZXw>test1<ZXw>
          <ZYe>test2<ZYe>
          <ZZR>test2<ZZR>
   </Header>
<ZJDU>
         <ZXd>xyz<ZXd>
          <ZYE>wer<ZYE>
          <ZZw>wer<ZZw>
   </ZJDU>
I have to get the output as:
test1test2test2xyzwerwer..etc i mean to say i have not feildseparator and i have to revome all the tages in in put file and paste the only values in the output.Its like getting all the things in the same line.
it tried giving like . header.feildSeperater    ""
                              ZJDU.feildseperater ""
I am very new to this,searched .. bt didnt get what to write when there is no feild seperator and i have to paste complete file in text format.
thanks
Anika

> it tried giving like . header.feildSeperater    ""
>                               ZJDU.feildseperater ""
>
I could see spelling mistate in the above line..... fieldSeparator
if the above setting didn't work. did u try with the running scripts after the adapter has finished it's job. You can replace the fieldSepartor with "" empty string.

File content Conversion in j2se at the receiver side

Hi ,
I need to do a file content conversion using j2se adapter at the recevier side.
my structure is something like
<name>
    <name1>
    <name2>
</name>
<address>
     <address1>
     <address2>
</address>
and the output should be like
#tname1$name2
#sadress1.address2
Please do the needfull
Thanks & Regards,
Hamsa

Hi Hamsa,
#tname1$name2
#sadress1.address2
Lot of # and $, so can you paste the FCC parameters that you have tried in the File adapter?
In j2se also we can use the same. If you are not sure on how to use, paste the FCC parameter here and someone will be able to make the J2SE version out of it

Inconsistency File Content Conversion

Hi,
My scenario is file to r/3 wherein the source file is a fixed length file. So I am using file content conversion in my sender adapter.
My source structure looks like:-
DT_TRAN
|__RECORD 1..unbounded

I am getting this error while executing the scenario.
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR consistency check in recordset structure validation (line no. 5: missing structure(s) before type 'Header'.
However, I checked the record in line no.5 and it's clean and perfect. But still getting the error. If I remove this record and execute, the file is picked and data is processed.
In File Content Conversion, I have used the following parameters:-
Recordset Name = Record
Recordset Structure = HEADER,1,QUOTE,,ORDER,,INVOICE,,BILLING,,CONTACT,*,FOOTER,1
I am using Key Fields to separately identify the details records. I used ignoreRecordsetName = true. In this case, in XML message payload does not contain <Record> node and so there is an error.
Can anyone suggest, how to overcome the issue such that all the records in the file are processed.
Thanks.

The content conversion parameters are:-
Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Record.fieldNames = HEADER,QUOTE,ORDER,INVOICE,BILLING,CONTACT,FOOTER
Record.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
like the above, i have done for all the nodes. However, if i remove the record from line 5 and process the file, the file is picked up and processed succesfully. i have checked many times. the line no.5 record is not having any issues with structure or fixed length calculation. for some reaosn, it gives the error.

How do we do File content conversion using SFTP SEEBURGER Adapter
