Receiving file adapter content conversion issue

Guys,
Could someone please help me with a Receiving file adapter issue?
My output structure is something like this:
Vendor_file_MT (occurence 1)
--Recordset (occurence 0..unbounded)
Vendor (occurence 1)
Field1
Field2
Field3
Field73
Field74
My content conversion is very simple:
Recordset Structure: Vendor
Parameters:
  Vendor.fieldFixedLengths   30,30,30, (...) ,1,27
  Vendor.fixedLengthTooShortHandling   Cut
  Vendor.endSeparator   'nl'
If I don't do the content conversion, it works fine, I get all the fields in the XML format.
When I do the content conversion however, I get multiple lines but only the very first field of each line.
What could be the problem? What am I missing here? Any idea?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor

Varga:
Its little strange that its not working even after adding that.  Did you check the receiver channel in your RWB for any logs. Add the statement in my previous post and Also try to clear the Cache and activate the channel again..See if it works
Glad it worked

  • Receiver File Adapter Content Conversion Problem.

    Hi All,
    I am getting in receiver file adapter due to content conversion setting. Problem is that all the fields coming in file adapter are optional. In content conversion , i have specified fieldfixedlengths. So whenever any optional field is not present , it fails . How should we handle it? is there any option to declare fields as optional, I know that is the there for sender adapter. But no. of fields is also very large, so putting each and every field as optional is very time consuming.
    What should i do?

    Hi Daniele,
    Instead of using the standard funciton , i created a UDF for handling this situation.
    My logic is UDF is like
       //write your code here
    int Size = Integer.parseInt(Truncate_Size);
    String Return_Value = "";
         if  (!("".equals(Input)) )
              if  (Input.length() > Size )
                   Return_Value = Input.substring(0,Size);
              else
                   Return_Value = Input.substring(0, Input.length());
         else
              for(int i = 0; i< Size ; i++)
              Return_Value = Return_Value + " " ;
    return Return_Value;
    SO in this case also , it should be able to handle empy source element. But it is not working.

  • Receiver File Adapter - Content Conversion

    Hi,
    I don't quite get this:
    I have a structure
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <AnElement1>
       <AnElement2>
          Bla bla bla
       </AnElement2>
    </AnElement1>
    I want to convert this to a flat file with a line containing
    Bla bla bla
    In te receiver file adapter I define the following:
    In the 'Content Conversion Parameters'
      Recordset Structure : AnElement2
      Name                         Value
    AnElement2.addHeaderLine         0
    AnElement2.fieldSeparator        'nl'
    AnElement2.endSeparator          'nl'
    This results in an Empty file each time indicating some error somewhere.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks

  • Blank line in receiver file adapter content conversion

    Hi,
    I am using a receiver file adapter. Everything is working fine. Except that a blank line is put by the file adapter between each records. It is a flat file format.
    I have used the stting below. How do we remove the blank line?
    Recordset : ACCTHDR,BATCHDR,TRANSREC,BATCHTLR,FILETLR
    ACCTHDR.fieldFixedLengths 1,7,4,9,8,665
    ACCTHDR.absoluteRowWidth  694
    ACCTHDR.addHeaderLine 0
    Thanks
    Sachin K

    Hi,
    .endSeparator
    The default value is a line break (no explicit separator after the last column; instead the structures are arranged line-by-line).
    If you enter a character string here, the system adds it to the last column as a closing character. You can also make this specification in addition to NameA.fieldFixedLengths. To include a line break following the closing character, you must explicitly define it by attaching ´nl´ (including the quotation marks) to the string.

  • Receiver JMS Adapter Content Conversion issue

    Scenario :
    R/3 -->XI -->MQ(XML2Plain)
    Hi
    We are using Receiver JMS Adapter to send the Message from XI to MQ.
    The XML has to be converted to plain file. And Content conversion is
    being done.
    With the new development, the message type defined consist of 8 fields
    with fixed length. The XML message goes successfully from XI to MQ
    without any content conversion. But once simple content conversion is
    being done for Receiver JMS adapter, even though the message is
    received but it’s empty (without any data records). The adapter
    monitoring everything seems fine and it gives the status that message
    converted to binary and the message is delivered to MQ. Though on
    checking the messages there is no data records.
    Below is my content conversion configuration done in Module tab. Kindly
    revert back what can be the problem as have done exactly the same way
    as described in Content Conversion How to Guide for receiver JMS.

    Hi,
    check localejbs/SAP XI JMS Adapter/ConvertMessageToBinary Local Enterprise Bean convert_XI2Bin
    this is not CallJMSService.
    And also check the receiver Structure, if it is falt structure its ok, else
    see the below link if it has the complex structure , how to handle..

  • File Adapter - Content conversion parameters at Receiver

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to translate a XML message to a text line file.
    My XML message is this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns1:Proveedor_100011 xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/webservices/buyordint">
    <config>
    <directory>c:/tmp</directory>
    <filename>dynamicFile3.txt</filename>
    </config>
    <root><string>Header;423423</string>
    <lines>
    <value>LINE;</value>
    </lines>
    </root>
    </ns1:Proveedor_100011>
    I only want to write to text file the "root" TAG content.
    I try different "Content conversion parameters" in the integration builder (configuration)
    For example:
    RecordSet Structure: root
    root.addHeaderLine   0
    root.fieldSeparator  ;
    root.endSeparator    ;
    but the better result is all XML content.
    Can someone tell me how to skip "Config" TAG and only write the "ROOT" one?
    I'll apreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Diego.

  • File adapter content conversion

    Hi all,
      We are having File to File Scenario
      We are facing problem in Content conversion in File
      Adapter(Sender)
      The source file is in text format and fields are
      seperated by '|' character
      The source file structure is :
      Header|No. of Records
      Data Record1 
      Data Record2
      Data Recordn
      Trailer|No. of Records
         where Data Recordn is of type Field1|Field2|Field3|Field4
         and the number of data records is variable
         e.g.
         Header|5
         2|144012|20050801|20050801
         212|012|20050801|20050801
         244012|2|20050801|20050801
         2144|144012|20050801|20050801
         212|012|20050801|20050801
         Trailer|5
      Now , we need to ignore the contents of Header and Trailer Records
         For Header , we are setting the property Document Offset to 1
         Hence the Header record is ignored
         However , we are facing problems in ignoring the Trailer record
         We want to know :
         1. Is there a direct way ( or some propety ) wherein we can ignore the last record of the file ,
            which in this case is Trailer record
         2. We also tried the following :
              a. We set the Recordset Structure to : row,*,trailer,1
              b. However in this case , the keyField is required for row ;
                 but since the number of data records is variable ,
                 the keyFieldValue cannot be specified
           How should we go about in this case
    Please guide us on this
    Regards
    Shikha

    Hi all
    Thanks for replies
    Actually , we are able to ignore header and that is not an issue
    Now if we need to discard the trailer record , we believe that RecordSet Structure should be <b>row,,trailer,1</b> or <b>header,1,row,,trailer,1</b>
    However , since structure is <b>row,*</b> ; we need to specify the <b>keyField</b> column for row ( data records )
    Since <u>number of data records</u> is variable , we are not able to set the <b>keyFieldValue</b> for <u>row ( data record )</u>
    Can you'all please guide us on this as we are stuck on this .

    But the problem is I have the keyfield "BATCH" for my header file but don't have any <b>key field in the data record</b> of the input file.
    Please help me out how to mention the configuration parameters.

    Hi,
    If you don't have constant key value for your detail records, then you can not directly get the required xml.
    So in this case, you can read all the records in a common Row model, i.e each record will be considered as a one row with all the values, and then split this row with Substring or java functions in the mapping.
    Even you can do this in the Adapter module .
    If you have key value for each record to identify then you can try with content conversion.

    Moorthy

    OLRENDZZZZ
    Example Explained:
    ==============
    Position 1-9 is a "Transactional number".
    Position 10-11 is "Record type".
    Position 12-13 is "Line Item count".
    Four record types exist:
    03 = Location header
    01 = Transactional Header
    02 = Line Item
    OLRENDZZZZ = EoF marker.
    The equal sign "=" is a field separator/delimiter.
    In each delimited field, after the first equal sign in the record, the first two characters represent a field qualifier/field name tag/identifier and there only the data begins until the following delimiter.
    Each record is ended in a "CLRF"/'nl'.
    The file is build up, but not locked and only completed until the EoF marker "OLRENDZZZZ" is inserted by the application on the last record of the file.
    My solution so far:
    =============
    Record Structure: row,*
    Record Sequence: Ascending
    row.fieldNames: field1,field2,field3,ect.......
    row.fieldSeparator: =
    row.endSeparator: 'nl'
    row.keyFieldInStructure: ignore
    ignoreRecordsetName: true
    This brings the file into the integation server as xml as follow:
    ============================================
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <ns:SAPtoFuelFACS xmlns:ns="urn:engenoil-com:i_fuel_facs_sap">

    So far, so good.
    The problem I am having is that I have to check for the EoF marker "OLRENDZZZZ" to be present before picking up the file, else the file is not completed.
    I have tried a script to rename files in msg pre-processing in the channel, but the problem is the file channel has to be triggered and the original file mask is necessary for this, but then this mask is a valid pickup file mask. So to me it seems the only way is to do this is during the content conversion process as the files not matching the file criteria, where a EoF "OLRENDZZZZ" definition is not present, will not be picked up and be ignored until it is present or totally independent with a batch job.
    If someone has a more elegant way to solve this problem with just using the file channel configuration where every thing is pretty much apparent, I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist.

    The problem I am having is that I have to check for the EoF marker "OLRENDZZZZ" to be present before picking up the file, else the file is not completed.
    I suggest a script.
    Say The files are dropped in FolderA. Have a script transfer a file to FolderB only if it finds the EoF marker in a file. Thus FolderB will be what XI will poll and that will always have the complete file.
    Hope this sounds good!!!

  • Replace String in csv file with file adapter content conversion

    Hello experts,
    I have a sender file channel to receive csv files from an external server. I can process the csv files but I have a little problem. Since the separator in the csv file is a comma and sometimes a comma also appears in the dates but this time it is not a separator.
    Example:
    1234,20120123,ABCD,customer, which has a comma in it's name,...
    5678,20120123,FGHI,customer without comma,...
    My plan is to remove all commas when a blank follows.
    My current content conversion looks like this:
    Record.fieldNames field1,field2,...
    Record.fieldSeparator ,
    Record.endSeparator 'nl'
    Is there something like Record.fieldReplaceString or something similar which I can use? Or is there perhaps a better way to do this?
    I'd appreciate every help I can get here.
    Best regards.
    Oliver.

    Hi Oliver,
    I think I've got a solution for you, after all. All you need to do is have your customer name enclosed in quotes, like that:
    1234,20120123,ABCD,"customer, which has a comma in it's name",...
    Use the rest of FCC configuration as usually. You might also want to have a look at this wiki entry for a configuration example:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FileContentConversion
    Moreover, see the description for "NameA.enclosureSign" in the help document below:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

    Hi All,

    Thx

    Hi,

  • Key field from content - Sender file adapter content conversion

    I am reading a source CSV file that has this structure. All rows in the source file are the same structure: line items of a PO. But there will be multiple POs in a single file, identified by the PO number as one column in the file.
    PONum,LineItemNum,Qty,Description
    001,1,34,Carrots
    001,2,17,Apples
    001,3,22,Bananas
    002,1,4,Mangos
    002,2,9,Coconuts
    003,1,44,Grapes
    Goal is to generate 3 messages, one for each PO:
    <po>
         <num>001</num>
         <line_items>
              ... 3 line items for PO # 001 ...
         </line_items>
    </po>
    <po>
         <num>002</num>
         <line_items>
              ... 2 line items for PO # 002 ...
         </line_items>
    </po>
    <po>
         <num>003</num>
         <line_items>
              ... 1 line item for PO # 003 ...
         </line_items>
    </po>
    Is there any way to use the Content Conversion Key Field Name to group the line items into the correct 3 messages? "Key Field Name" expects a static identifier for each type of row; but mine varies by the PO number in the content.
    Or do I need to do this in the mapping? If so, what is the easiest way to split 1 large message of all line items into multiple target messages based on the PO number? (I assume this is better than sending individual line item messages and aggregating them later, as long as the file size is OK.)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Robert,
    If ur goal is to split into 3 messages one for each PO, you can go for message split and using graphical mapping you can achieve that.
    Within the message mapping go to the tab Messages.
    Change the occurrence of the target message to 0..unbounded.
    Also this link may help you.

  • Sender file adapter - content conversion question

    Hi all
    We have a .csv file to be passed to XI that has column headings as well. Is there a way of stripping the header using "Content conversion". We declared the RecordsetStructure as "header,1,item,*" but then it needs a keyFieldname and identifier which is obviously not available as the first line only has column headings.
    Hoping for a reply soon.
    Thanks
    Salil

    Salil,
    In RecordsetStructure you define as header,1,item,9999999999. But if you have more than 9999999999 records then the extra records after this will come as a second file.
    If you expect more item records then increase the number of 9's. Then we dont need to give the key field.

    **I changed the receiver mail adapter to not use Mail package and I receive an email without errors with the Content as mentioned above. **

    Hi Teresa,
    I think the problem is that you are using multiple "Content" tags. Have you tried to use only one?, you can concatenate all your text.
    Check the page 3 of this document to know how introduce new-line character http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0964d7c-e66e-2910-24bb-ac535e4a5992?overridelayout=t…
