Sender File Adapter Conversion problem - how to start new recordset?

Hi guys!
I have a source file like following:
aaaakkkkkk
uuuupppppp
&&hhhhffffff
6666uuuuuu
3333rrrrrrrr
&&kkkkoooooo
which means - fixed length 4,6 and && starts new recordset.
I need to get structure like:
<recordset>
<item>
 <a>aaaa</a>
 kkkkkk
</item>
<item>
 <a>uuuu</a>
 pppppp
</item>
</recordset>
<recordset> ... with h,f and 6,u </recordset>
<recordset>
<item>
 <a>kkkk</a>
 oooooo
</item>
</recordset>
Any ideas?
Let's say, I can add && on the beginning of the file and other "lite" changes... but structure stays the same...
so, how to start new recordset? with which conversion parameter? for items it is clear...
Thanx a lot!

aaaakkkkkk<end_of_line>&&uuuuwwwwww<end_of_line>...
then normal parameters should work fine,
item.fieldFixedLengths==4,6
Item.fieldNames=field1,field2
item.endSeparator=<end_of_line>

Sender file adapter conversion Error!!

Hello every one....
I am stuck with a problem...in my scenario,, there are possiblities that file may contain more than required paramters... in such case,,, paramters defined in conversion should go ahead and others should be ignored...
for this very purpose i added the paramter:
row.fieldSeparator                 ,
row.fieldNames                     orderno,authcode,status
row.endSeparator                  'nl'
row.additionalLastFields      ignore
the scenario works fine if the file contains thrree comma separated values but it raises an error if no of paramters increase as :
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting
document line no. 1 according to structure 'row':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration: more
elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
we are using PI 7.... does it require some more configuration in additoin to paramter row.additionalLastFields
any help in this regard would be highly appreciated...
thanx

this parameter is already set, and this is the exact behavior i want from adapter engine... but the problem
here is different... the exception is raised at communication channel's conversion routine level,,, the retry
interval is not the one defined in visual admin but infact the interval (polling) time defined in communication
channel.... the system does'nt stop after 3 attempts,, but infact keep on trying to read it....
one peice of information i have found is in sap note:821267 , which states:
*Q35:*
Q: I have configured a File Sender channel with File Content
Conversion or a custom-developed module, which may throw an
exception. When the File Adapter encounters an invalid file, which
triggers a conversion error or an exception in a module, the
adapter will enter a retry interval and upon each following
processing attempt try to process the faulty file. This basically
prevents the File Adapter from picking up files that are located
after the fauilty file according to the configured sort order. How
can I change this behavior?
o A: This is by design. When the File Adapter encounters an invalid
file, manually remove this file from the configured source
directory. You can configure an alerting rule to get notified each
time this occurs.
We are currently evaluating possible solutions that could be used
to skip this manual interaction.
now can there be a way around to make communication channel read the file only 3 times (value defined in adapter engine profile in visual admin)
I have thaught of writing of module.... but the error is raised even before calling module !!
any further clue ???

recordset structure -- emp_row
emp_row.fieldSeparator - ','
emp_row.endSeparator - 'nl'
if you have "." at the end of each record in your file then remove it and change it to new line -- "nl" -- by hitting the enter key on your keyborad at the end of each record Or if you want to use "." only then replace 'nl' in the above endSeparator parameter list with '.'
PS: Share u r current content conversion parameter settings also

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

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

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>

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.

How to configure Sender File Adapter to pick couples files in order !!

Hi Folks,
I am really looking for one requirement like, Sender file adapter has to pick multiple files by file name based with some time gap? Can we?
I have got one BPM in this, I have tried with Process mode : Name and Date, with wait step on BPM, but no use. The way how PI behaving, if 40 files in file directory, it is picking all files in one shot. Start processing but not in order.
The problem is on Receiver system side. The receiver system is SNC system, if old data receives later than earlier date data; we get data obsolete application error.
Ex: If I receive 25th and 26th files, first I need to process 25th first on PI sends to SNC, I need to give some time gap and pick another file or even PI picks and process 26th file, no problem but I need to give some time gap to send SNC to this 26th date file?
Please how guys, throw me your great ideas
Thanks in advance!!
Regards
San

@ Sandhya
If there are 40 files , can you please specify how many types of files are ther like say first A type shud be picked then B type then C type and so on so forth ?
LIke in my case I had only three types of files file1 and file 2 file 3
and in the directory also only three files will be placed at a time
you need to have some logic to separate the type of files in differnt folders and then process them
@ farooq yes . it will create problem if 40 files are kept at a time .

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

Sender File Adapter Problem when text document is a single line.

Hi All,
I have posted this question earlier too. But did not get a proper answer.
I am using File adapter to fetch data from a file system.
My input data is: AA123BB45678AA345BB78564.
It is just reading the first segment i.e.AA123 and not reading the remaining.
How can I configure my Sender File adapter to pick this pattern of data? It works fine if I have line break after each record that is if the input is as below.
AA123
BB45678
AA345
BB78564
In the above there is a Line break after each segment. So File adapter picks it fine.
I have also tried using xml.A.endSeparator equals to blank in the module configuration. But it does not work either.
Can anyone throw some light to this?

Abhi
I tried a different approach to send your file data In..
You can get each line in the source structure in separate row as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:SingleRowDT xmlns:ns="http://xxxxx.com/xi/pocs/sriram">
- <Recordset>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
</Recordset>
Now you can use a suitable mapping logic to split the individual records into the 2 field structure as expected in the target..
Trying your way would be a limitation on file adapter I think..Let me know if this helps..I can give you the content conversion config for this model..
its simply
RecordSet - Leave it empty
RecordSet Seq - Row, *
Recordsets/msg - *
row.fieldSeparator - 'nl'
row.endSeparator - 'nl'
row.fieldNames - 'rowElt
..So each line will be pulled into a single Row in the source structure and then u can apply a specific mapping to split into 2 fields for your target

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

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..

Hi Abhistek,
Thank you for your correction. It was typo.
Which assumption is correct ?
1. All 3 instance running together in the same time ? or
2. Either 1 of the instance running once time manage by clustering setting.
Example :
15:01:00   ---> A
15:02:00 -
> A
15:03:00 -
> B
15:04:00   -
> B
Currently :
15:01:00   -
> A
15:01:00   -
> B (lock)
15:02:00 -
> A
15:02:00 -
> B (lock)
It seems all 3 instance lose control from clustering ?

How to debug file content conversion problems?

Hi,
I'm trying to debug a file content conversion problem. I'm mapping a few nodes in an IDOC to a file of fixed length fields. I'm using the "<Node A>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node B>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node C>.fieldFixedLengths", etc. parameters to specify the fixed length records.
However, a certain node (for e.g. Node B) is causing a problem and if it is present in the IDOC, the output file does not get created. Upon checking the XI monitor, I notice that the file gets mapped correctly and thus the problem lies when the file adapter does the file content conversion. How do I debug this because there is no descriptive error in the XI log? If this node is not present, the file gets generated fine.
Thanks,
Basant Gupta

Hi,
If your SXMB_MONI shows, success status, then go to RWB->Message Monitoring->Message display tool and then check Audit log for the analysis,
So it wil help you debug the situation.
If there is no error, then check RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Monitoring for you file communciation channel..
