What is File Content Conversion?
File content conversion is used for converting flat files (fixed lenght, comma seperated) into XML messages for further processing by an integration engine. The internal XI processing (mapping, routing etc) is based on XML messages hence you need messages to be converted to XML.
SAP By default understands xml data structure. If your file is coming in an xml format you can process it as it is.
In case of file that is coming with a delimiter then you need to have File content conversion for SAP adpater to conver file into an XML structure which will then go to next step of Message Mapping.
Is knowledge of any programming language required?
No
What is its function?
Check these blogs for content conversion,

Required help for Identifying diff. items in file content conversion.

Hi All,
I've to use a file content conversion parameters for a .txt file in which there are two objects. One is a header and the other is a item detail.
How do we get or mark the difference between both so that XI recognizes the particular line is a Header and the other is a Item detail
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sree.

Hi
Make use of a field which is common to header and item line which will always hold different values for header and item. Or otherwise if possible, add an extra field in the header and item lines, say 'Key' and use it in the 'Key Field Name' parameter in the adapter configuration. See this for details - [File Content Conversion for Complex Structures|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/20/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-complex-structures/].

FIle Content Conversion Problem in IDOC-XI-File Scenario

Dear All,
I am doing IDOC-XI-FILE scenario.
I am facing one problem related to File Content Coversion.My requirement was to generate a dynamic file like <b>%store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml</b> , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,<b>we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content</b> . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these <b>DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut</b> , But I am unable to suppress it Can some body provide me the details on this .
The output xml version generated by Reciever file adapter is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
Plz provide me the code I have to write in the file content conversion .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prabhat

If u see my earlier reply, I mentioned that u can not suppress the field from the one node.i.e Form SITE_DATA data type u can not suppress the field called CURRENT_DATE.
My suggestion is that , modify the Data type in such a way that you will be having two nodes as I have mentioned earlier. Then use the Suppress Logic for the Current Date.
So it will look like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
<CURR_DATE>
<CURRENT_DATE>20051105</CURRENT_DATE>
</CURR_DATE>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
So ur SITE_DATA is not having a field called CURRENT_DATE. This field is in separate node (segment ) called CURR_DATE. Now u can use the Suppress Logic for the same like this.
CURR_DATE.fieldFixedLengths - 0
CURR_DATE.fixedLengthTooShortHanling - Cut
And in your Variable Substitution you can use the date from the other segment called CURR_DATE.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Moorthy

As per the client req I'm going with FCC. The file is picking fine with the FILE. But not picking with the FCC.
The parameters which I gave are as follows.

This was the configuration. But this is not working I monitored the Communication Channel and file is not reading and not getting deleting.
What actually went wrong in above configuration. Why it is not working.

There is no root node, so in your FCC you need to mention your RecordsetName and you can ignoreRecordSetName in result structure. Check the following blog simulates your requirement.

Complex file content conversion in case of CSV file

Hi Friends,
What you see below is generated from Excel i.e excel file saved as CSV file. This file i need to map in XI.
Problem is i have to take only the data and not the header part.
for e.g in this particular line
Employee ID          :,,E00315
I need only E0315 and not the header value. Similarly i have to find some solution to map all the required data.
Please suggest me how to use file content conversion in such scenarios.
Solution is required on top priority. Points will be immdly rewarded.
Thanks & Regards

Error in Receiver File adapter using File content Conversion

Please let me know where i am going wrong.

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter

Trailing spaces problem during file content conversion

I have developed a proxy to file scenario.And am using file content conversion for creating the file. The file is to be a fixed length file.
File Structure
<Header>
<Item>
<Item Trailer>
<File Trailer>
Each tab in the file has the last character mapped to spaces.
Eg: Header00000001 2006011700000000020060<blank   space>
Item00000001        2006011700000000020060<blank   space>
The problem is that during file content conversion. XI does not preserve trailing spaces at the end of the line i.e.if a particular line in the file ends with space. It terminates the line at the last non-space character (in this case at 060).
However we are required to maintain these trailing spaces at the end of each line.
I have tried preserve white space in data type that does not work.
I know that xslt mapping may solve the problem but I am looking for a workaround with my current graphical mapping.
Looking for suggestions !!
Thanks,
Rashida

Hi,
I have the problem quite opposite to this where we are getting the trailing spaces at end of each record which should not come.
File structure is
<Record>
- <Data>
<Content>11/09/2007@210@ZACSL007@GBB-56436@PS01@29@1044@19@646@0</Content>
</Data>
</Record>
............. n records
<Header>
<File_Name>UK01</File_Name>
</Header>
Record structure in communication channel used is
Header, Data
Data.fieldFixedLengths     1024
Data.addHeaderLine     0
Header.addHeaderLine     0
Header.fieldFixedLengths     0
Header.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
Data.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
Header.endSeparator     '0'
Actually if the length of record is less than 1024, rest of the length is being filled with spaces which should not occur.
Many advanced thanks.

Remove of quotes"' in the sender file adapter -- file content conversion

HI Guys,
MY source file is comma seprated file (,) in the file i had quotes" " for the data like
"5000543","0.00","03/04/2009",
is there any way i can remove the quotes in file content conversion
Please help me on this
Regards
Srinivas

Srinivas,
This should not be a big deal, because your fields are separated by a comma. So you need to keep in mind like you are doing the content conversion for a csv file.
See this blogs for some information:
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/03/02/introduction-to-simplefile-xi-filescenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starterspart1
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/03/03/introduction-to-simple-file-xi-filescenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starterspart2
In the second blog 1345 there are parameters for content conversion. So similarly mention your conversion parameters in your sender communication channel. So after converting to xml your input fields have values like:
field1: "5000543"
field2: "0.00"
field3: "03/04/2009"
So all your field values has with "". Now you can use either standard replace funciton or a udf as given above and then it will remove the quotes and then you can map according to your requirements. If you think sometimes you can get quotes and sometime not in the file then you can use function like startswith or endswith along with exists and can map accordingly.

Supress Column Heading - File Content Conversion in Sender Adapter

Hi,
Let me give a more clear picture about my scenario. I need to convert CSV File to XML output:-
My source file has column heading and values. The sample data is mentioned hereunder:-
PERNR;KID;PNALT;NACHN;NAME2;VORNA
;1200;1200;Angus
I have created a data type as under:-
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
     Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
          Header (Category - Element, Occurence - 0...1)
               PERNR_H
               KID_H
               PNALT_H
               NACHN_H
               NAME2_H
               VORNA_H
          Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
               PERNR
               KID
               PNALT
               NACHN
               NAME2
               VORNA
The file conversion parameters in the file sender adapter are mentioned hereunder:-
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Header,1,Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
I dont' have a key field value. How do we remove the header and show only the values in the xml output. I have searched the forum topics as well checked many blogs related to file content conversion, but nothing helped. Kindly advice how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
Change your File Adapter as below
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
There is no need for the Header required in the data type.
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
PERNR
KID
PNALT
NACHN
NAME2
VORNA
Now the trick is in the mapping program
Lets assume your mapping looks like
MT_LegacyEmployee ---> MT_TargetEmployee
- Employees ---> Records
   - Employee ---> Record
     - PERNR ---> TargetPERNR
     - .. so on
When you do a mapping from Employee ---> Record apply the following logic.
(PERNR)--->
             (TestEquals =) --->(NOT)--->
(Constant) --->                                (IF)
(PERNR)                       (IF Without Else) ---> (Record)
                                               (THEN)
                            (Employee)--->
When doing this make sure RightClick on PERNR and Select Context ---> Employees.
By default context would be from Employee and it will give you an error of XSD format. So make sure you are changing the context.

Sender adapter: File content conversion suggestion

Hi all,
I require your suggestion on File content conversion with Sender File adapter. I am having a scenario where I would be getting multiple orders data i.e., header and item information in a single file. Suppose, we have given a chance to design the source structure. So, which would be the better way for having the source structure so that it would be easy for file content conversion and mapping. Is it like Method 1 or Method II?
Method I:
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
Method II:
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
   Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
If you suggest method I, can you let me know how the content conversion parameters look like?
Thanks in Advance,
Adithya K

Adithya,
Looking at your input file I think a structure as below would be better.
<Order_Data>
<Orderno>
      <Orderno/>
      <FieldA/>
      <FieldB/>
      <FieldC/>
</Orderno>
<Items>
      <Orderno/>
      <OrderItem/>
      <Field1/>
      <Field2/>
      <Field3/>
      <Field4/>
      <Field5/>
</Items>
</Order_Data>
Content Conversion Parameters for this would be:
RecordSet Structure        OrderData,,Orderno,1,items,
OrderData.fieldNames       Orderno,items
OrderData.fieldSeparator   'nl'
OrderData.endSeparator    'nl'
Orderno.fieldNames          Orderno,FieldA,FieldB,FieldC
Orderno.fieldSeparator       ,
Orderno.endSeparator       'nl'
items.fieldNames              Orderno,OrderItem,Field1,Field2,Field3,Field4,Field5
items.fieldSeparator           ,
Items.endSeparator           'nl'
ignoreRecordsetName        true
Depending on which are your key fields you will have to put two more parameters:
Orderno.keyFieldValue
items.keyFieldValue
Hope this would be of some help.
Thanx,
Manju.

Need Help in Sender File Content Conversion

Hi All,
I request your expert advice on Sender File content Conversion. I need to process the below pasted file. I was able to achieve this by keeping a offset of 6 in Sender PI File Adapter (PI 7.1) to ignore first 6 lines and used a Unix script to remove last line"END OF REPORT".
Now my new requirement is I need to capture the date "DECEMBER 2009" from line 3. How can I do this. I have set offset as 6 so Adapter will start processing from line 7. If I don't set offset Interface fails. Please suggest. Thank you.

Error whil doing File Content Conversion

Hi all,
I had configured a sender for File Content Conversion and I am getting the follwoing error.
Sender Adapter v1014 for Party '', Service 'bs_xml_sender':
Configured at 05:39:05 2007-04-27
Initialization error: Conversion initialization failed with java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:

Any ideas why I am getting this error.

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.
Thanks
