Problem in file content conversion, file 2 xml scenario

Hi,
Could some one help me in finding out the error in my file to xml scenario, please do consider the following things what I did for this scenario.
1.My sender file structure is flat file with , seperated 4 fields. On receiver end expecting xml file.
2.Did file content conversion at sender file adapter and given parameters as follows.
     Document name             : MT_FileInput
     DocumentnameSpace     : http://file/praveenworkshop
     Recordset Name             : DT_Record
     Recordset Structure        : DT_Row,*
     KeyfieldType                   : String( default)
    DT_Row.fieldnames          : FirstName,LastName,City,PostCode
    DT_Row.fieldSeparator      : ,
    DT_Row.processConfiguration: FromConfiguration
    Dt_Row.endSeparator       : 'nl'
3. I did check in Adapter Monitor that Both Sender and receiver adapter are showing green and It was showing 'Adapter is up and running: But no messages processed'
4. I did check the SXMB_MONI which was showing " Scheduled for Outbound processing"
5. In SXMB_MONI outbound processing payload was picking up the file and also inbound processing showing the same.
6. my source folder and destination folder are very simple c:/praveenfiles/input and c:/praveenfiles/output
    files are source file praveen.txt and destination file praveenOP.xml
Please help me in finding out the error to see the output file in my output folder.

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

File Adapter - File Content Conversion to XML last element missing

I'm using the SAP File Adapter with File Content Conversion to convert | (pipe) delimited records into XML.
When the last field is blank, I would expect that an empty node gets created, however, the node doesn't get created at all.
For example given these settings...
Record.fieldSeparator = |
Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Record.fieldNames = FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3
Using this three record file as my data...
|123|XYZ
ABC||XYZ
ABC|123|
When converted to XML, this is what the recordset XML structure looks like...
<Recordset>
<Record>
<FIELD1 />
<FIELD2>123</FIELD2>
<FIELD3>XYZ</FIELD3>
</Record>
<Record>
<FIELD1>ABC</FIELD1>
<FIELD2 />
<FIELD3>XYZ</FIELD3>
</Record>
<Record>
<FIELD1>ABC</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>123</FIELD2>
</Record>
</Recordset>
Notice that the last record is missing the "FIELD3" element.

That did the trick. It was a typo. Thanks Giuseppe.
I'm willing to bet that this parameter was added to fix the parsing bug without breaking existing users that had already worked around the original bug. You shouldn't really have to special case the last field.

Using File Content Conversion converting XML format to text format

Hi All,
             I am able to convert to Text format using file content conversion, But the requirement is to convert the same for the structure with additional subnodes as in the example (also complex nested structures)
<ns0:SendXSDEmployeeDetails xmlns:ns0="http://ehro.eds.com/FRAMEWORK/FileToFile/FileCConverion">

Hi,
Like correctly pointed by JaiShankar, the Sender File Adapter currently does not supoort such stracutures.
the strcuture supported is described in this link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm

Skip field in file content conversion (file adapter)

hy guys,
I have a log file and want to convert it into xml. that works fine.
the problem is: can I skip some fields that I do not need in the xml with file content conversion
the fields I want to skip are the same in every record of the log file.
thanks.

Ralf,
You can only ignore lines in the begiining of the file using Document Offset option.
If you have the unwanted field in the end of the record and you are in SPS12 (PI 7.0), you can use the option additionalLasstFields in FCC parameters. have a look into the blog /people/sukumar.natarajan/blog/2007/06/12/content-conversion-in-sender-file-adapter--2-new-useful-parameters
Easier, is to ignore those fields in mapping.
Also, you can try to remove those fields using a shell script which can be called from the File adapter.

Jai Shankar

File Content Conversion : File to File Scenario

hi all,
I have a Input file
It has the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<n0:rfc_proxy_message_type xmlns:n0="http://kpr.com/sample">
<Name>abhishek</Name>
<Age>10</Age>
</n0:rfc_proxy_message_type>
I use a File to File Scenario, with Sender and receiver FTP adapters.
I would like to convert this file at the recieveing end into a flat file as follows:
Name     Age
abhishek 10
How can I do so?
Can anyone please help.
Thanks,
Best Regards

Hi,
Your Xml file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Employee_MT xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/demo">
   <Recordset>
      <item>
         <Name>vinod</Name>
         <Id>12</Id>
         <Age>30</Age>
         <***>male</***>
      </item>
   </Recordset>
</ns0:Employee_MT>
In the content conversion parameters mention the following
Document name:    Student_MT
Document Namespace:   enter your namespace
RecordsetName:    Recordset
Recoedset Structure:   item,*
item.endSeparator = 'nl'
item.fieldSeparator= ,
item.fieldnames= Name,Id,Age,***
Hope this helps you.

File Content Conversion File-File scenario

Dear experts,
I have been tweaking with file to file scenario where a simple file goes in source as text delimited and comes out in target as xml.
I know ,i finally get my scenario get working with these settings :
ROOT.fieldSeparator ,
ROOT.fieldNames Store_Id,TRDT,SKU,SALE_RETURN,PRICE_OVERRIDE,PROMOTION_NUMBER,PROMO_DETAIL_ID,MIX_MATCH_NUMBER,DISCOUNT_ID,QUANTITY,EXTENDED_SELLING_PRICE,EXTENDED_ORIGINAL_PRICE,DIFFERENCE_PRICE
ROOT.fieldContentFormatting trim
ROOT.endSeparator 'nl'
ROOT.missingLastfields add
ROOT.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
ignoreRecordsetName true
Now my question is where i can find all properties that are probable in ROOT.Other thing is i kept on getting mapping related errors until i reached
at this stage of properties definition.But there was no tracking as of why i got that error.The error was :
Mapping "http://TPOCTEST_SFILE/OM_TPOCTEST" failed to execute: MappingException: Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TPOCTEST_; Details: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceException; Cannot create target element /ns0:MT_TPOCTEST_T/Record. Values missing in queue context. Target XSD requires a value for this element, but the target-field mapping does not create one. Check whether the XML instance is valid for the source XSD, and whether the target-field mapping fulfils the requirement of the target XSD
I resolved once i made settings on top but this was only a hit and trial.I dont know what actually was the reason behind this error.
I also used Test option of mapping and found things working.

Hi Aditya,
That error indicates that when you were facing problems with your FCC the system did not generate XML that worked with the mapping that you have OM_TPOCTEST. The error is showing that you have a target node named Record which I'm guessing is set to 1...unbounded but your FCC did not generate XML that would map in such a manner that 1 or more nodes named Record would be created in your target message.

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

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.
Thanks

File Content Conversion - Key Field Value

Hi Experts,
I am using File to Idoc scenario for my mapping. In the receiver Communication channel, I am using File Content Conversion. My scenario is as follows :
I have a recordset with Header and Line items with Key Field Indicator as 'H' and 'L'. In some cases, the value for this Key Field is coming in as something other than 'H' and 'L'. I need to throw an exception when this Key Field is not 'H' or 'L'.
In the 'Content Conversion' tab, my attributes are as:
Header_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'H' and Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'L'. Is there any more attributes that I need to add ?
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Freddy.

>>multiple key field values in FCC configuration i.e Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = H or L
AFAIK it is not possible but lets wait for other experts to comment on this...
>>Can keyFieldInStructure (add, ignore) parameter help me in this case ?
No. this parameter is only used when you want to include key filed in ur XML structure(add) or not (ignore)...
Chk this:

Can't get File content conversion to produce CSV file

Hi Guys
Have no problem at all getting XML file created via an RFC
Structure is something like this
From MONI message monitor inbound message    payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>Middelkampseweg 1</STREET>
etc
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Receiver Grouping payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
etc.
With no conversion xml file is created on output directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test"><customerid>100853</customerid><company>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</company>
etc
Now trying to use File content conversion with the simplest possible conversion -- just insert a colon after all the fields in the structure.
Following parameters
Adapter type FILE
receiver box checked
Message protocol File Content conversion
File access etc as before
Content conversion parameters
Recordset : IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER
(have also tried Z_XI 005_RFC)
Name
CUSTOMERID.fieldSeparator :        (colon)
MONI shows message received by XI and processed correctly but NO outfile gets written to the target directory.
what am I doing wrong --it's probably something stupid.
The data into XI is a ONE RECORD structure -- not a table etc.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi guys -- both solutions STILL not working
all I'm now getting is just a file with garbage in it
Payload is fine on XI system
Here's the payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
- <item>
<CUSTOMERID>65013</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>OY PANDA AB</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>PANDA</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>P.O.Box 3</STREET>
<STREET2 />
<STREET3 />
<STREET4 />
<POSTCODE>3331 GT</POSTCODE>
   etc etc until end of customer mmaster details
</item>
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Without conversion file is generated on target directory
Here's the XML output file sent to the directory
(for testing I only usec the ist 3 fields)
Not sure why <item>   disappeared - maybe that has something to do with it ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
<CustomerId>65013</CustomerId>
<company>OY PANDA AB</company>
<shortname>PANDA</shortname>
</ns1:MT_customer_header>
RFC call from R3 system is fine (otherwise I wouldn't get the message into XI. Transaction SM58 as well on R3 shows no RFC errors
Converted file is just a blank with nl character at the end ??????
cheers
jimbo

Receiver File content conversion with nested structure

Hi Guys,
I have the below nested structure and have to convert it using receiver file content conversion.
<Header> [o, unbounded]
   <A>a</A>
   <B>b</B>
</Header>
<record>   [0, unbounded]
   <field1>
        <X1>x</X1>
        <Y1>y</Y1>
   </field1>
   <field2>
         <X2>x</X2>
         <Y2>y</Y2>
   </field2>
</record>
The file is a comma separated one. Please let me know how to configure the content conversion.
Thanks

Hi Mukesh,
Have a look at the Shabz's blog for the receiver File content conversion : File Adapter (Receiver) - Are we "really" sure about the concepts?
Thanks,
