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
K.Ramesh

File Content Conversion--- Removing Quotations from csv file

I have a csv file in the folowing format:
field1,field2,field3,field4
"111","222","333","444"
"aaa","bbb","ccc","ddd"
Suppose the header name is row in IR.
While configuring the sender file adapter in XI, i have given following parameters under file content conversion.
row.fieldNames=field1,field2,field3,field4
row.fieldSeparator=","
row.processFieldNames=fromConfiguration
row.beginSeparator="
After picking up the XML file XI processes the data so that we have out put as
row
field1 111
field2 222
field3 333
field4 444"
row
row
field1 aaa
field2 bbb
field3 ccc
field4 ddd"
row
My Problem is what parameter should I add in ID to remove this last quote say 444" and ddd" from the XML message ????
I tried using
row.endSeparator=" but it is still giving the same output.
Can anyone help ????????????????????????

Hi,
Try this FCC instead
row.fieldNames=field1,field2,field3,field4
row.fieldSeparator=,
row.processFieldNames=fromConfiguration
row.enclosureSign=u201C
row.enclosureSignEsc=u201Cu201C
row.endSeparator='nl'
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/frameset.htm
If you specify xml.enclosureSign=u201C and xml.enclosureSignEsc=u201Cu201C, text enclosed in quotation marks is transferred unchanged and the quotation marks are removed.

Problem in file content conversion from XML to CSV

Hi Experts,
I am finding problem in file content conversion. I need to convert the following XML file into CSV file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_CROSS_REF xmlns:ns0="urn:dabur:idoc2file:pos">
      <Update_type>2</Update_type>
      <PLU>00000000</PLU>
      <Cross_ref_PLU>7777777</Cross_ref_PLU>
      <Capture_PLU />
      <Package_size />
      <Package_desc />
</ns0:MT_CROSS_REF>
The output file data has to be like:
2,00000000,7777777,,,,
The problem I am facing is while specifying the content conversion parameters in communication channel i dont know what recordset structure i should mention as all the records are directly under root. If I mention recordset structure as "ns0:MT_CROSS_REF" and parameters as
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.fieldSeparator   ,
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.endSeparator    'nl'
i get error in communication channel monitoring and no file is posted.
Please help me as to what correct parameter i should mention in my case.
Thanks,
Regards,
Yash

Hi Chirag,
I cannot change the xml file as it comes after mapping idoc to a message type. How can I add ROOT in the xml? My message type is like MT_CROSS_REF and it has those 6 fields as in the XML (Update_type, PLU etc.). I do the mapping of these fields from a IDOC and get the XML.
I hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Yash

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

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.

File Content conversion for Fiexed length output file

Hi,
I am Working on Idoc to File scenario.
I would like to know the content conversion partmenrts for the follwoing structure.
Structrure is as below:
Message Type
Header Record 1..unbounded
.    Field1   0...1
.    Field2   0...1

Can you please advise.
Regards,

Hi Manoj
Give the FCC parameter as
RecordSet Structure = Header,,Detaillnes,,Detaillines2,*
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Header.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Header.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Header.keyFieldValue = Header
Detaillnes.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillnes.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillnes.keyFieldValue = Detaillnes
Detaillines2.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillines2.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillines2.keyFieldValue = Detaillines2
The keyFieldValue should be the Value which identifies your record either as Header/Detaillines/Detaillnes2.

File content Conversion Issuse for a Sender File Adapter

Hi All ,
             I am working for a Migration project , so my File structure will be as follows
<HEADER>
      <DATA1>
     <DATA2>
     <DATA3>
   <HEADER>
<ITEM>
     <ITEM1>
     <ITEM2>
     <ITEM3>
<ITEM>
WHERE i do have flat file will be as follows
10001,20081902,US
10,soda,1
30,soda,4
40,soda,5
10002,20081902,US
10,steel,1
30,steel,4
40,steel,5
how to pick this file using FCC from sendere flat file adapter without keyfields , and i can use fixed length also

Sridhar,
You can use a work around like this. Create a generic Data Type something like below.
<Message Type>
   <Recordset> - root node
      <ROW> - element with occurence 0..unbounded
Now create an outbound MI with the above MT, in FCC in sender file adapter, give Recordset structure as ROW, *
This way , you will read the entire file inside XI as an XML like below
<ROW> header record </ROW>
<ROW> item record 1 </ROW>
<ROW> item record 2 </ROW>
<ROW>....</ROW>
In XI , since your header row & item rows are fixed length, now, you can use that in a UDF in your message mapping , or parse the xml using DOM parser in Java mapping, you should be good. Hope this helps.

CSV File Content Conversion

Hello, I have a litte problem with the File-Adapter and the File Content Conversion.
We get csv-files in which are 2 structures
the first row contents headerinformations like invoicenumber and sumfields.
The following rows contents item-informations.
I want to convert the file in a xml-format like this:
<invoice>
   <invoiceheader>
     .... (information from the first row)
   </invoiceheader>
   <itemlist>
      <item>
          ... (information from 2. row )
      </item>
      <item>
          ... (information from 3. row )
      </item>
      <item>
          ... (information from last row )
      </item>
   </itemlist>
</invoice>
The csv-file looks like this:
In the csv-file i have no keys which determine the kind of row. I only know that the first row contains the headerinformation and the following rows (2. until last) contains the item informations.
Any idea ?
Kindly regards
Detlef Breitwieser

Hello anybody !
I want the conversion is done by the file-adapter -
and i have no keyvalues - that's the problem.
I only know - the 1. row contains the headerstructure and the following rows contains the itemstructure.
I configured the Fileadapter with this paramters (for an example)
xml.recordsetStructure=HeaderSum,1,Item,60000
xml.recordsetName=AvisRechnung
xml.recordsetsPerMessage=*
xml.documentName=Avis
xml.HeaderSum.fieldSeparator=;
xml.HeaderSum.structureTitle=head
xml.HeaderSum.fieldNames=head1,head2,head3,head4,head5,head6,head7,head8
xml.Item.fieldSeparator=;
xml.Item.structureTitle=item
xml.Item.fieldNames=item1,item2,item3,item4,item5,item6,item7,item8,item9
The Csv-File is this:

Purpose of message protocol file and file content conversion

hi
i am currently working in idoc to file scenario,
In what cases we will go file and file content conversion in message protocol for file adapter.
can anyone specify the real significance of it? bcoz this may help me and continue my scenario in its suitable path.
Regards
Saravanakumar PK

Hi,
In XI (internal) all XML message are based on the XI Message Protocol.
See: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
XI Protocol is nothing but an SAP XI extension of SOAP protocol and SOAP protocol is nothing but a SOAP request in a HTTP protocol. SOAP request is nothing but SOAP extension of an XML message. Hence finally it drill downs to the fact that XI message is in fact an XML message with some extra information in the header which are SAP specific like the SAP Runtime, SAP Hoplist, etc...
File Content Conversion
Integration Engine understands only XML messages.Now if u r handling normal text file such as 'tab separated' file,'# separated' file, or a CSV file, you need to convert the content of the file to XML and File Content Conversion mechanism helps to do this job.This File Content conversion mechanism(option)is present with the File Adapters.both Sender and Receiver.
How to do FCC:

File Content Conversion. Default Value of beginSeparator

HI All
I have a scenario where i am using file Content Conversion to create a text file.
my structure is as following
MessageTypeName
FirstElement           1..1
SecondElement       1..1
Data               1..Unbounded
In the text file i just need the Content of Data to appear in each row.
So i gave the following CCP
SecondElement.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
SecondElement.endSeparator = 'nl'
But i am getting the first line as a blank line .
I do not need the first line as a blank line. Can someone suggest how to avoid the default blank first line.
regards
Nilesh.

Hi,
Just check the below parameter's defined in the below example.
Below is the example when you have HEADER & ITEM structure.
FCC is case sensitive, give all the names in FCC same as your Data Type.
In <b>Recordset Structure</b> = Header,1,Item,*
Header.fieldFixedLengths = (field lengths) e.g. 1, 4, 7
Header.fixedLengthTooShortHandling=ignore
Header.endSeperator='nl'
Item.fieldFixedLengths = give the item field length as shown above
Item.endSeparator = 'nl'
Item.lastFieldsOptional = YES

Problem with File content conversion and parameters

Hi experts,
What is the use of file content conversion that is available in file adapter? For what cases we can use it?
What do the different content conversion parameters mean?
Kindly help
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
We use the file content convertion to conver the flat file that is text file into XML,
File adapter cant understand the format the file is,so we have to declare the content convertion parameters.
Check some links which will tell how the convertion is done.

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/].
