Reg error in flat file to flat file scenario

Question

Hi techies,
Iam just starting working with XI scenarios.
In base flat file to flat file scenario which is mentioned in wiki.sdn
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FLATFILETOFLATFILE
I had completed entire scenario. After generating sender file. Iam getting this error in runtime work bench.
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'CONTACTS.EMP.fieldFixedLengths' or 'CONTACTS.EMP.fieldSeparator' is missing
Please suggest how to resolve this error.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
From your error description,
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'CONTACTS.EMP.fieldFixedLengths' or 'CONTACTS.EMP.fieldSeparator' is missing
it is clear that you have missed out either or both the 2 parameters in receiver file adapter content conversion, namely EMP.fieldFixedLengths and EMP.fieldSeparator.
From the example that you followed, use the following values for the 2 parameteres is the output file is a comma separated file:
EMP.fieldFixedLengths:    8,10,10
EMP.fieldSeparator:           ,
I have assumed that the lengths of the fields NAME,ADD,MOBILE are 8,10 and 10 respectively. Change them according to your requirement.
Use any other value in place of comma(,) in EMP.fieldSeparator according to the requirement.
Hope it helps you buddy!!!
Thanks
Biswajit
