...file Sender content conversion 'lastFieldsOptional' error

Hi All,
I am working on a File Sender content conversion--> flat file to XI.
it's fixed length field all the rows with same column.

**EOF**
I am sucessfully able to handle the file if i remove "**EOF*" from incoming file. But i get "lastfieldsOptional" error with "*EOF**"
>
Parameters-
     Recordset Structure - ROW,*
     Recordsets per message - *
    ROW.fieldFixedLengths - 6,8,20,10,30,1,3,1,11,1,11,6,10,10,20,10,10,2,6,6,2,6,6,3
    ROW.fieldNames - INV_DATE,INV_NO,PAYMENT_REF,CUST_NO,CUST_NAME...etc etc
   ignoreRecordsetName - true
There are parameters available to ignore Last field(last column) of a Row/Rocerdset
but how to ignore the last row of the file.
Plz suggest some parameter to ignore the last row/field of the file.
Regs,
Ansh

Ansh,
.lastFieldsOptional is obselete and you cannot use. Please see sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
The best thing comes to my mind is use:
.keepIncompleteFields as YES
Also give a try with:
.missingLastfields as add
So with this I think your last line in the file will read into XI. But the value of last line is **EOF**. So the length is 9. Since your the first two fixed lengths are 6 and 8. You will have these values as ***EOF and ***. So while mapping you can use doesnot satrt with * and map it, so that your last line will be ignored.
Note: with this apporach you have to make sure your first two columns never start with *. If you have a doubt then you can use the condition doesnot equal to ***EOF for first field and doesnot equal to *** for the second field when you map. I hope it makes sense to you.

File Sender, Content Conversion - how to define variable length last field?

XI 3.0 SP17
With a File Sender communication channel, that uses Content Conversion - how do I define a 'variable length' last field?
The scenario - the input file has four fields, of which the first three are a known fixed length, and the last (fourth, trailing) field is variable in length.
Using a Message Protocol of 'File Content Conversion', how do I define that last variable length field (field name 'WOData' below) in the Content Conversion Parameters section?
My current parameters are:
Recordset Structure - Row,*
ignoreRecordsetName - true
Row.fieldFixedLengths - 1,12,5,99999
Row.fieldNames - WOType,WONum,WOLine,WOData
I've tried the following for 'Row.fieldFixedLengths' to no avail -
'1,12,5,*'
'1,12,5,0'
'1,12,5,'
'1,12,5'
The last two were grasping at straws )
The only thing I've got to work is specifying a 'large' value for the final field (99999 above).
In addition, does anyone know if specifying a large value (e.g. 99999) for the final trailing field will give rise to performance issues when the file is being processed?
In the help for "Converting File Content in a Sender Adapter", it states -
<Begin Quote>
NameA.fieldFixedLengths
If you make a specification here, the system expects a character string that contains the lengths of the structure columns as arguments separated by commas.
If you also specify a separator for the columns, you must not add its length to the length of the columns.
This entry is mandatory if you have not made an entry for NameA.fieldSeparator.
<End Quote>
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm

<< note that fieldFixedLengths will not take any wildcard entries like *. So in these case it is ideal to provide a maximum char length. But note that while the file is being created that many spaces will be created in your file !!! >>
Hi Shabarish,
Yes, no wildcard is the conclusion I came to, hence my maximum )
The message size did not increase by any 'blank padding'. When I look in [Message Display Tool (Detail Display)] 'Audit Log for Message: X' -
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Channel X: Entire file content converted to XML format
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Send binary file "X" from FTP server "X", size 103290 bytes with QoS EO
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Application attempting to send an XI message asynchronously using connection AFW.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Trying to put the message into the send queue.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Message successfully put into the queue.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success The application sent the message asynchronously using connection AFW. Returning to application.
The input flat file in non-XML format was 92,132 bytes and the message payload into XI was 103,290 bytes.
My understanding is that trailing spaces are stripped from XML nodes.

File sender content conversion

hello
I have a txt file sender content conversion in SAP PI.
I define in the content conversion 6 fields names(field1, field2, field3,field4,field5,field 6) but the fie that I am loading has only three field(field1,field2,field3). the file is still loading though there is a different in the structure between what I define in the PI to what is loading to the PI.
is there a way to send an error with out loading the file?
I read about the count function in the mapping. isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
Thanks
Kfir

If you define 6 fields and only 3 are present in the test file then you wont get an error (AFAIK)
However, if you define 3 fields and there are 6 present in the source file then you will get an error saying more number of parameters found.
isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
I dont think so....this may however be achieved using a custom adapter module.
Update:
Just remembered that SAP PI (7.1 and above) comes with inbuilt XML-validation function....check if that helps in your design.
Regards,
Abhishek.

List of CONTENT CONVERSION PARAMETERS

Hello Experts,
   Can any one list out all the content conversion parameters. i.e like
<rowset structure>.fieldName
<roeset structure>.endSeparator...... etc.
along with their explination.
Thanks inadvance.

for Example:See this Str..........
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_FILE_SEND_RAJEND_FCC xmlns:ns0="http://file_2_file_rajender">
   <Recordset>
      <HEADER>
         <keyfield>01</keyfield>
         <ORDER_NO>10001</ORDER_NO>
         <NAME>xyz</NAME>
      </HEADER>
      <ITEM_DETAILS>
         <keyfield>02</keyfield>
         <MAT_TYPE>abc</MAT_TYPE>
         <MAT_NO>sss</MAT_NO>
         <AMOUNT>1212</AMOUNT>
         <DATE>yyyymmdd</DATE>
      </ITEM_DETAILS>
   </Recordset>
</ns0:MT_FILE_SEND_RAJEND_FCC>
This are the Fcc Parameters:
Document name: It defines the Sender Message type which we have to send
Document name space: It defines the unique name for entire object.
Recordset Name: It is the Root node of the Element..(Recordset)
Recordset Structure: It is defined root node of the structure.....(Header, Item_details)
Keyfield name: it determines the header data or item data....(01,02)
Recordset Sequence: ascending/descending
HEADER.fieldNames..........................keyfield,ORDER_NO,NAME
HEADER.fieldSeparator...................,
HEADER.keyFieldValue.................01
HEADER.endSeparator.................'/n'
HEADER.processFieldNames..............from Configuartion
ITEM_DETAILS.fieldNames............keyfield,MAT_TYPE,MAT_NO,AMOUNT,DATE
ITEM_DETAILS.fieldSeparator............,
ITEM_DETAILS.keyFieldValue.........02
ITEM_DETAILS.endSeparator..........'/n'
ITEM_DETAILS.processFieldNames............from Configuartion....
I hope this is much more for this scenario........

        <field8>1L2_96_1</field8
     </Data>
</Recordset>
Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?
And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

> With fixed lengths i get it working,

> but with de fieldseparator 0X09 it does not work,
> would you please tell me the complete FCC config not only the fieldSeparation line?
Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1
--------Field8 0..1

since in this case you dont seem to have a key value to figure out what your header is, it is better to go for a two level mapping. i.e first read all the data - each line as an xml tag. and in the first mapping group it as required and then use it for your original mapping.

Content conversion parameters for fixed length file

Hi,
Hey i have a small doubt.My input is like this
99443 123213 232234 12312 127544 23423
Here i have four recorsetnames namely HEADER1,HEADER2,HEADER3,HEADER4,HEADER5,HEADER6 all the recordsets are of same size but the lengths of the fields in it vary so i specified the following parameters
HEADER1.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,1
HEADER1.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER1.endseperator=" "
HEADER2.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,2
HEADER2.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER2.endseperator=" "
MY OUPUT XML STRUCTURE SHOULD BE like this
<header1>
<value1>9<\value1>
<value2>944<\value2>
<value3>3<\value3>
<\header1>
<header2>
<value1>1<\value1>
<value2>232<\value2>
<value3>13<\value3>
<\header2>
Is the content conversion parameters i specified enough for that. I wanted to know how would it know the begin of the next recordset(ie the seperation between the two recordsets) .Please help me its vey urgent
Thanks in advance
Sriandh

Are header 1 fields always going to occur first , then header 2 and so on?
By default file adapters do not support Nested Strcutures and so if the sequence is going to be the same and all of these have an occurence of 1..1 then things will work.
But if there is going to be an occurnece of * then you will need to use KeyFields.
