JDBC data conversion rules

Is there any document specifying the conversion rules
for JDBC?
Specifically, ODBC says when a character array is
passed to a BINARY column, two bytes of character data
should be converted into a single binary byte. For eg.
"01" becomes 00000001 and "ff" becomes 11111111.The reference I have is for ODBC 3.5, and looking at SQLPutData I don't see anything like that. That method doesn't even differentiate between types of data.
I also checked for blobs and conversions and I didn't find anything that says that.
What happens when one uses a database that supports both binary and char blobs and you really want to store hex information in a char blob?

Data conversion rule manager & repository

Hi All,
We are running a fairly large legacy data conversion project from IMS and DB2 to Oracle which will involve quite a variety range of conversion/mapping rules (complex data manipulation to simple mapping). These requirement and rules involve both tech and business collaboration. Are there any data conversion rule managers tool out there that provide these type of capabilities:
1. Data conversion rule repository and version control
2. collaboration features (e.g. collaboration editing, commenting, decision capture, approval...etc)
We have check someed of the tools out there, and they are either generic requirement gathering tools, which is basically a few tabs with drop downs and a big text box, or some end-to-end data conversion automation solutions, which focus the execution of the data conversion instead of managing & tracking conversion rules.
Can anyone you help? please let me know if there is anything comes close that is practical and useful. Thank you.

Tubby, thank you for the info. Yes, we actually use ODI as a DEV tool for data conversion rule implementation and execution between our staging DB and target DB. However, ODI does not really have the capability to allow our tech and business to collaborate together and focus on "getting all these rules defined correctly". Having say that, ODI does have many very useful side features for our DEV to leverage and share information such as knowledge module and data mapping...etc
We would hope to have a practical data rule management tool & repository that allows tech and business to work together and gather all the rules and build up all the knowledge base in 1 single place. DEV/QA can then take away and focus on the implementation and validation.
Please let me know. Thank you very much.

Data Conversion rules for EDI processing (same client IDOC processing)

Hi,
I am trying to post IDOCS in same client.Its a PO->SO process.
ie. there will be 1 outbound and inbound idoc in same client using EDI processing.
I am using Data Conversion using Rulesfor converting sender fields.
The LIFNR and PAORG od segment E1EDKA1 has to be converted.
For ALE processing, the Data conversion is been done correctly.
But no conversion is done for EDI.
Can anybody help me with this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Data Conversion Logic

I am now trying to implement a data conversion logic(such as UOM field), I want to load all the data conversion rules in the cache from file and keep them in the cache. So when mapping starts it just picks up the data conversion rules from the cache.
Using GlobalContainer it is ok for one mapping even several UOM fields(just load from file once). But it will load from file again when the mapping is triggered again.
Is there any logic I can use to implememt the data conversion just load from file once?
Regards,
Nick

Hi Arnold,
normally every input should be made in LC, why you enter the data in group currency?
However if you have to start from group currency the only solution to avoid this error is to put at the end of sprunconversion the ON_ERROR_CONTINUE clause.
But remember he will stop to notify every type of error so you have to be very careful and have this clear in mind when some issue occurs with the currency conversion.

Roberto

Data conversion questions

Hi Everyone,
I'm confused by the data conversion rule and how to do it in abap, could you help me about some of my questions?
1. How many ways to do data conversion ( like assignment .....)?
2. When using field symbol, we know we can assign reference to field symbol , and at mean time , we can casting type.
    Is this kind of casting also a way to do data conversion?
3. In my real case, I have unknown type data to convert to xstring. the type could be any ( I, D, T, STRING......). Is there an easy way to implement that when I get the data reference, I only need to import it to a method and then the method return an xstring to me?
4. question 3 is about data->xstring, and how can I convert xstring back to the original data( should be the same type )?
Thanks and Regards,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
try this FM:     CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
is useful for convert different data type, here an example:
     call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          exporting
            input         =   A    ( type unknown )
          importing
            output        = B ( type xstring ).
Perhaps that helps,

Date Conversion Routine in Transfer Rules

Hi,
Could you help me writing ABAP code for converting date field MM/DD/YYYY in to
the same format. But my InfoObject is 8digit and displays into 10 digit DATS type Object. After loading data it is looking different formats at different loacations. Example:
Data input from Flatfile: 11/18/2007 (MM/DD/2007)
Data in PSA :               11/18/20

Data records in an IDoc getting erased, when conversion rules are defined

Hello ,
We are sending IDocs of message type GLMAST & COELEM from a system(version 4.7) to another system (version 4.6B).
The segment data in the IDocs are changed using the user exit enhancement KKCD0001. The function exits used are EXIT_SAPFKCIM_001 and EXIT_SAPFKCIM_002.
If there is no conversion rule defined in the receiver system, for the segments, the IDocs are posted correctly in the receiving system. But if we define conversion rules , then the data records for all the segments for which conversion rule is defined are getting erased, and an error occurs during processing of IDocs
Please let me know what can be the the reason behind this issue..And how to solve this..
Thanks in advance,
Afsar

Executing xml sql using jdbc adapter for date conversion

Hi experts,
I am following the fllowing blog for date format conversion for a jdbc receiver.
/people/alessandro.berta/blog/2005/10/04/datetime-datatypes-and-oracle-database
I constructed my graphical mapping to generate the following query
DateField in receiver structure = TO_DATE('2008-03-24','DD-MON-YY')
attribute hasQuot = No
The result that i want is 24-MAR-08
I am getting the error in communication channel monitoring as does not match string format.
The database gets successfully updated without this date conversion. But when i try to use this, it give the above error.
Is there any other configuration to be done to make the adapter execute this statement?
Regards,
Shamly

The issue is solved.
The SQL statement was wrong.
The correct version is,( as was specified in the blog ) :-
DateField in receiver structure = TO_DATE('2008-03-24','YYYY-MM-DD')
Automatically in the database it is converted to 24-MAR-2008

How to implement a conversion rule in KC7R (External Data transfer-Tool)

Hi,
I am familiar with programming conversion rules in ABAP in the LSMW and IS-U Migration workbench.
Unfortunately we have to work with EDT (transaction KCLJ).
I need to implement a simple conversion rule: migration file has the external BP number BPEXT and I must retrieve the internalone (PARTNER) for the migration program.
So I must implement a short ABAP code (select single * from BUT000 ...).
Now I see that in KC7R you can use constants and conversion rules. There are also "General Ruels" and "conversion routines".
Can someone explain how to implement this simple ABAP conversion rule in KC7R giving a short example?
This would be great.
EDT is the workst of all SAP Standard Migration Tools I have seen.....
Kind regards,
Thomas

Thomas,
Coud you please share your findings as I am now in a similar to your original post.
ie I too would like to know how to code convesions for use within the transfer rules used by KCLJ.
Kind Regards,
Hiten Mistry.

Error in global conversion rule for InfoObject 0INCOTERMS2

If you have any idea or face the similar problem, please suggest solution.
Thank you.

Good afternoon,
If you have not done so already can you apply the SAP note 1387854 in your system and it should prevent the problem from happening again. If you also reactivate the infoobject 0INCOTERMS2 in RSD1 then it should be possible to manually activate the transfer rule.

IDOC inbound conversion Rules

Hi to all,
I'm Implementing an Inbound Interface for Cost Centers using idoc message COSMAS and IDOC type COSMAS01.
I want to modify IDOC data changing the cost center code by another one stored locally in a param table (Z*).
I think the best way to do this is by creating a conversion rule in BD72 than maintain and assign to Message type. The problem is that i have to select data from the Z* Table i need two parameters from the IDOC(LogicalSystem and cost center). How can I create a custom conversion routine or something to get this data from the Z table into the IDOC field (KOSTL).
The conversion exits only have one import parameter and one export parameter.
Do anyone had one problem like this?
Thanks in advance to all.

Hi,
Please check the documentation in WE60 tcode and see if the fields are required to be passed...
