Sender file adapter content with repeating structure

i have a scenario where my source file could have the following structure:
node1 (1:1)
node2 (0:1)
node3 (0:n)
node1 (1:1)
node2 (0:1)
node3 (0:n)
each node will have many fields. the three different nodes can repeat like this unbounded times. how would i define my content conversion and my data type to capture this structure? any help is appreciated.

hi chris,
make your Content Conversion Parameters as:
Document Name "your doc_name"
Document Namespace "your name space"
Recordset structure node1,1,node2,1,node3,*,
Key Field Name Record Type
Key Field Type String
To differentiate the incomings to each nodes, we need a key value
say 01 for each node1 (you can use your own) *
Entry in FCC (below table)
node1.fieldFixedLengths "enter the length of the fields separated by commas
node1.fieldNames "specify the actual fieldnames separated by comma (no whitespace)
node1.keyFieldValue "enter the key value - for node1 i took as 01" *
make same entries for all the nodes
thanks n regards,

Sender File Adapter - Content Conversion

HI Friends,
I got a scenario where I need to convert the File to XML document through Sender file adapter..
My file looks like below.
BATCH1234........
12DASER123142JMM
237DSAFDLKC839890
45SDFLASJ90011
BATCH3455...
132FGAR
SD21352525
BATCH998898...
123145DSRTW
12FSTS
So there is a Header and Body for each record set..
My XML Structure is as follows.
<TimeStructure>
<TimeRecord>
 <ControlRec>
 <Field1>BATCH </Field1>
 <Field2> ...</Field2>
 </ControlRec>
 <DataRec>
 <F1> ...... </F1>
 <F2> ...... </F2>
 </DataRec>
</TimeRecord>
<TimeRecord>
 <ControlRec>
 <Field1> BATCH </Field1>
 <Field2> ADFAS </Field2>
 </ControlRec>
 <DataRec>
 <F1> ...... </F1>
 <F2> ...... </F2>
 </DataRec>
 </TimeRecord>
</TimeStructure>
The blog <a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem:///people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
is somewhat relevant to my requirement.
But the problem is I have the keyfield "BATCH" for my header file but don't have any key field in the data record of the input file.
Please help me out how to mention the configuration parameters.
Regards,
Kumar

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.

Sender file Adapter, problem with proxy authentication

HI all,
i'm having some problems with the following scenario, i need to configure a sender file adapter which connects to a FTP server. To connect this FTP server i need to set a proxy (and so a username and a password), and i don't know how to do.
From note 821267 seems that the proxy is not supported for an FTP adapter, but the are some workaround like the ones described in the following link
Re: Proxy server inFTP adapter
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57137
They don't work in my case as i need to se two username (the one for proxy and the one for the ftp server) and i cannot force the proxy use for all XI applications.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot
Aldo

Proxy is necessary to exit the customer local intranet. It's not possible to go outside network without going through the proxy server.
I cannot set the proxy server in file adapter as it's not supported like described in SAp note, a possible workarounf is to force the proxy server in the J2ee stack but in this way all PI calls would use that proxy..

Sender File Adapter - Problem with field separator

Hi,
I want to upload a CSV file into XI.
The file contains a text part which uses from time to time quotation marks like this:
SD,575757,383838,N/A,XYZ,"This is a text part",7676
But besides there are lines like this:
SD,575757,777722,N/A,XDE,FREETEXT,7575
Has anyone any idea how to configure the file adapter to get it recognize the quotation marks not as field separator?
I've already tried the enclosureSign parameters but that leads to an total unconverted line.
Is it maybe possible to customize two field separators like this:
Structure.fieldSeparator - ,"
Thanks for any answer,
Christina

No, it doesn't work.
I've specified now:
Structure.fieldSeparator        ,
Structure.enclosureSign         "
Structure.enclosureSignEscape   ""
Every line without quotation marks is converted fine. Lines with quotation marks stay like in the original CSV file and the whole line is put into one XML tag (still comma separated).
Also the parameter fieldContentFormatting - nothing doesn't make a difference.
Other ideas?

Sender File Adapter-Content conversion for a tab delimited file

Hi all,
I have a FIle to IDoc scenario, where the File is with the structure Header,Detail,Trailer.
Header and Trailer are with fixed field lengths, whereas the detail records are tab delimited.(Functional spec says delimited by H'05').
I have given the parameters as follows:
Header.keyFieldValue     H
Header.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,4,1,8
Header.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e
Header.endSeparator     'nl'
Detail.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e,f
Detail.fieldSeparator     '0h05'
Detail.keyFieldValue     LOA
Detail.endSeparator     'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,8
Trailer.fieldNames     a,b,c
Trailer.keyFieldValue     T
ignoreRecordsetName     true
In SXMB_MONI, I get the payload with just the Header and Trailer and not the detail records, even though my file has so many records in it.I m pretty sure, this happens because of my Detail.fieldSeparator parameter.
Can anyone please help me with this?What is the correct value for this parameter?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Anjana.

first of all make sure with a hex editor that the hex code of the delimiter sign is really 05. This is an odd character, as the normal tab is hex 09.
when you have confimred it, check online help for file adapter config for the correct entry of hex codes. I think it is something like '0x05',

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.

Multiple <Item header> and multiple <Item details>
Do the content conversion like this and then in mapping, convert it to any structure you need.

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.

Hi experts,
I'm trying to parametrize my sender file adapter content conversion.
I'm receiving a text file with one single line like:

<field3>AA3</field3>
</MT_A1>
Actually I know how to do somenthing like
<MT_A1>
 <LINE>
 <field1>AA1</field1>
 <field2>AA2</field2>
 <field3>AA3</field3>
 <LINE>

KeyFieldValue in Sender File Adapter Not Working

Hi,
I have a flat file like this...
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3....
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3.....
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3....
My requirement is to pick only lines starting with '1'.
I have configured the Sender File Adapter like this,
Recordset Structure : SOURCE,*
Key Field Name: KF
Key Field Type : String(Case-Sensitive)
File Content Conversion:
SOURCE.fieldFixedLengths 1,5,5,5....
SOURCE.fieldNames KF,FIELD1,FIELD2....
SOURCE.keyFieldValue 1
After all this, still it picks up all the recored instead of records starting with '1'. Can any one solve this?

If you feel module processor is bit tough you can use XSLT Mapping which is simple in sloving ur problem.
Check this blog to do a sample example using module processor.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

In above txt file there are 3 lines.
1st line starts with #SMESS
2nd line starts with COPS
3rd line starts with #EMESS.
In 2nd line, if u observe there are 3 lines separating by +. My task is, I have to spilt the 2nd line into 3 lines using + separator.
I already used the xx.endSeparator as '+' to spilt the line but it is not working....
Could anyone help me how to do this. This is very urgent
Thnx,

File content Conversion Issuse for a Sender File Adapter

Sender File Adapter - File Content Conversion

Hello,
i do have a problem with the file content conversion at the sender file adapter.
I have configured the file content conversion with key field defined
keyfield: key
recordsetstructure is set as head,1,item,*
head.fieldSeparator |
head.beginSeparator |
head.endSeparator |
head.keyFieldValue H
head.fieldNames key,....
item.fieldSeparator |
item.beginSeparator |
item.endSeparator |
item.keyFieldValue I
item.fieldNames key,....
When i run it like this it will not read since it has a problem to identify the key fields.
When ever i change the whole logic to be not based on fieldseparator but on fixed length, everything is working perfectly fine.
but this unfortuantly doesn't help as i have no fixed structure for the rest of the fields.
also when i change the recordsetstructure to head,1,item,1 my file is also processed correctly, of corse only for the first line, it at least tells me that the file structure is correctly defined.
Can anyone help why the identification for the keyfields doesn't work with field names and separator but in the same set up with fixed lengths ?
thanks a lot

Hello All,
thanks for the helpful answers.
So i tried Jayan tip and removed the begin Separter.
Unfortuantly my file is really looking like this |H|...|...| for the header record
and for the item record |I|...|...| ( this was an" I" like in Item ...
In my opinion this means i really do have a begin seperator which is the same like the field separator.
When i removed it from both the file and the config it started to work.
So i wrote an java function which will trow away the first digit in this case and integrated it in my szenario.
So that when this file is read there is no | as a begin flag anymore.
And the whole thing starts to work, this sounds more like a bug then a feature but anyway i am happy.
so thanks a lot
Tina
