Complex File Content conversion - Reciver

Hi all,
I have to convert a XML to CSV. it shuld be fixedLength. My Structure is as follows
<root>
<NameA>
    <Val1>dfjsf </Val1>
    <Val2>
         <Val21>ajdfjs</Val21>
          <Val22>dfsdfsd</Val22>
     </Val2>
    <Val3>sfsfd</Val3>
</NameA>
<NameB>
   <ValA>dfsdfc</ValA>
   <ValB>
        <ValB1>sfdsaf</ValB1>
        <ValB2>sdfsf</ValB2>
   </ValB>
   <ValC>aedfsad</ValC>
</NameB>
</root>
the problem is i am not able to get the right record structure
i tried with
root,NameA,NameB,Val2
it gives an error
can anyone suggest me how can i do this in Adapter or XSLT Mapping is the best option?

Hi,
Can u pls tell me ur data which is coming under Name A node and Name B is same or it is different.
if the data is coming under node Name A and Name B is same then u can change ur target data type and creaste only one data type of NameA and make its occurance to 0-unbounded and ur FCC will be simple.
for example if u have 10 records then ur name A will repeate 10 times in that case no need to have name B.
Refer the below FCC.
Receiver FCC no need of Endseparator

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

Hi,
In this CSV file, what all i need is the value E00315 after the label Employee ID. I used in FCC the parameters u asked me to do. Also in the Document Offset i gave value 3 so that the first three lines are ignored.
1,,,Time Sheet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
1,,,,,,,,,,,Ref. No: T-PRO-01-011,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

1,Employee ID          :,E00315
But still i am getting the error
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 4 according to structure 'tims_header':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'tims_header.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
Please help.

Complex File Content Conversion

Hi SDNites,
I have a XML on the receiver side which needs to be converted into CSV,
XML structure,
Structure 1 (1....Unbounded)
   - Field Structure 1
   - Field Structure 2
   - Substructure 1....Unbounded)
          - Field Substructure1
          - Field Substructure2.
Expected output : (As multiple occurence is there)
Record 1 - > Field Structure 1 value, Field Structure 2 value, Field Substructure1 value, Field Substructure2 value.
Record 2 - > Field Structure 1 value, Field Structure 2 value, Field Substructure1 value, Field Substructure2 value.
Record 3 - > Field Structure 1 value, Field Structure 2 value, Field Substructure1 value, Field Substructure2 value.
Please let me know what is the best way to achieve the same.
Regards,
Abhis

Abhishek,
Input to FCC cannot have depth more than 3.
Allowed sample XML
<root>
<nameA>
<value1>value</value1>
<value2>value</value2>
<value3>value</value3>
</nameA>
<nameB>
<value4>value</value4>
</nameB>
</root>
Reduce the depth in graphical mapping (you can add another mapping after your first mapping OR handle in first mapping it self).
Use node function "useOneAsMany" and get all Str fields under SubStr.
<Str>
<SubStr>
<value1_FromStu>value</value1_FromStu>
<value2_FromStu>value</value2_FromStu>
<value3>value</value3>
<value4>value</value4>
</SubStr>
<SubStr>
<value1_FromStu>value</value1_FromStu>
<value2_FromStu>value</value2_FromStu>
<value3>value</value3>
<value4>value</value4>
</SubStr>
</Str>

Sender File Content Conversion with re-occuring record pairs

Hi,
Our FCC works fine with the following structure:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
But we have structure as below:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Lin1 and Line2 occur as multiple pairs making it as multiple line items. When we use content conversion parameters as below:
Header1.fieldNames          H1F1,H1F2,H1F2,...
Header1.fieldFixedLengths     10,5,10,.....
Header1.keyFieldValue          H1
Header1.keyFieldInStructure     add
Header1.endSeparator          'nl'
Header1.lastFieldsOptional     YES
and same for Header2, Notes, Line1, Line2
It picks up only first Header1, Header2, Notes, Line1 and Line2 in a recordset.
Does anyone have idea how could we do this content conversion? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
Try this.
First you need to use a message mapping and create a target structure to convert a similar output structure that do you want. like this
<Target>
-- Field1
-- Field2
-- Field3
-- Field4
-- Field5
-- Field6
-- Field7
-- Field8
-- Field9
</Target>.
Then map
keyfield1-> Field 1 ,keyfield2-> Field 2 , keyfield 3---> Field 3
map field1-> field4 .. for the others fields duplicate the Target node (right click) and map map field2-> field5 ..etc.
For the field 5 until field 9 map with constant ("'')
Then in you receiver comunication channel put simple parameters.
Target.fieldSeparator = |
Target.endSeparator = 'nl'

Sender File Content Conversion Complexity

It is again time to dip into the well of knowledge that is SDN.
I have a question about sender file content conversion.
It appears that I can only create simple XML structures with it, but I'm hoping someone here can help.
Lets says I have a file where each record layout is the same.   There are not header records, trailer records, etc.   Basically only one structure within the recordset.
However the record itself may have a complicated structure.   For example, the layout of each record may be:
String1, String2, String3, Array(0:3) consisting of String4, String5, String6.
Can I convert that to a structure of
<Node>
    <string1>
    <string2>
    <string3>
    <array>
        <string4>
        <string5>
        <string6>
    <array>
        <string4>
        <string5>
        <string6>
</Node>
Or must I create a DT containing one node giving string4,5 and 6 a unique name for each occurance?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can go with generic structure and then either in the adapter module or Mapping, you can format the structure. Because content conversion has a limitation to upto one level.
check this for limitation-

File Content Conversion for complex structure

Hi
I have a requirement to repeat a structure consisting of three lines i.e the segment containing these 3 lines will have occurrence 0....unbounded and will be repeated in the File multiple times ,
What is the level that can be handled in File Content Conversion's recordset structure ?
My issue is that the structure is
Dt_File -> Repeating Level1->Level2 ->Field1
                                            ->Level2a->Field3
                                            -> Level2b->Field5
where the first level is DT_File
under which I have RepeatingLevel1 as a SubElement
and under Repeating level I have Level2 , Level2a and Level2b at its subelementsl
and under Level2 I have Field1 , Under Level2a i have Field3 and under Levle 2b i have Field5
How do i handle this in the Content Conversion ?? as in how do I create my Recordset Structure ?? as it just handles one level below the Document Name (i,e) Message Type)
Is it possible ??? or should i consider some other way to constuct my data type ??
Thanks
Dev

Hi Tarang
My DT according to the target file structure is this :
DT_File
>Main1(1,1)
>Main2(1,1)
>Main3(0...unbounded)
>Record1(1,1)
>Field1
>Field2
>Field3
>Record2(1,1)
>Field4
>Field5
>Record3(1,1)
>Field6
>Field7
SO I want to confirm if the receiver FCC will be   -     Main1,Main2,Main3,Record1,Record2,Record3
Record1.fieldSeparator ,
Record1.endSeparator     'nl'
Record2.fieldSeparator ,
Record2.endSeparator     'nl'
Record3.fieldSeparator ,
Record3.endSeparator     'nl'
or                                                                   Main1,Main2,Record1,Record2,Record3

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.

FILE CONTENT CONVERSION/ VARIABLE SUBSTITUTION

Issue w/ File content conversion (Receiver side)

Folks, there seems to be an issue with the conversion. I've read several of threads on this forum, but none helped! Although the file is generated with 8 bytes there seems to be nothing in the file.
However when 'File' message protocol is used, the xml file is generated correctly as expected. All my other settings are fine.
Here is the scenario:
1) created Message type -
MTX
..Material
..BaseUnit
..MatGrp
..Division
2) comm. channel created for -
Transport protocol: File (NFS)
Message protocol: File content conversion
Recordset Structure: MTX
parameters:
    MTX.fieldSeparator: ,
    MTX.endSeparator: 'nl'
Should recordset struc. and parameters have 'ns0' prefix, i.e.,
Recordset Structure: ns0:MTX
parameters:
    ns0:MTX.fieldSeparator: ,
    ns0:MTX.endSeparator: 'nl'
What esle is missing? any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks and appreciate your responses.

Hi ABAP JUNOON,
Could you please create another Test scenario and
try
MTI_XXX
     - DATA(0..unbounded)
         - fields?
i mean, without redundant RS(Record Structure).
and use
Transport protocol: File (NFS)
Message protocol: File content conversion
Recordset Structure: DATA.
it will written the complete output file.
some people create the Reciver data type for test scenario's as follows.
MTI_XXX
   -RS
     - DATA(0..unbounded)
         - fields?
i mean with redundant RS
in this case file is generated, but nothing will be appear.
so plz take care while creating the reciver data type with FCC.
and the following case also will work i.e
MTI_XXX
   -RS
     -Header(0,1)
         - fields?
     - DATA(0..unbounded)
           - fields?
     - Trailer(0,1)
         - fields?

<b>Can any one help to do this in simple way</b><br>

Hi,
Like correctly pointed by JaiShankar, the Sender File Adapter currently does not supoort such stracutures.
the strcuture supported is described in this link,

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 Receiver Channel

Hi,
I have a complex structure like:
<Header>
</Header>
<Item>
<SubItem>
    <Info>
    </Info>
</Subitem>
</Item
<Item>
<SubItem>
    <Info>
    </Info>
</Subitem>
</Item
When I follow the instructions for File Content conversion I cannot separate the Item / SubItem and Info segments into separate lines in my flat file.
The result is:
Header
Item Subitem Info
Item Subitem Info
I want
Header
Item
Subitem
Info
Item
Subitem
Info
How can i establish the correct result?
Best regards
Ron.

Hi,
I specified the following
Name                                                                   value
Header.addHeaderLine                 0
Header.fieldSeparator                   ;
Header.endSeparator                   'nl'
Item.addHeaderLine                     0
Item.fieldSeparator                       ;
Item.endSeparator                       'nl'
Subitem.addHeaderLine               0
Subitem.fieldSeparator                 ;
Subitem.endSeparator                  'nl'
Info.addHeaderLine                       0
Info.fieldSeparator                        ;
Info.endSeparator                         'nl'

File Content Conversion on the Receiving side

Is there a way in which if I want a Pipe Delimited File as a result, after the last field also I get a pipe with next record starting in the next line.

Hi,
For | (Pipe), use corresponding hex code as fieldSeparator i.e. 0x7C as fieldSeparator.
For FCC on receiver side refer -
[Simple FCC|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/19/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-simple-structure/], [Complex FCC|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/20/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-complex-structures/]
For separotor at the end of line you can try using a dummy field or use combination of pipe and newline i.e. '0x7C' and '0x0D' (stands for carriage return) or 'nl' as endSeparator
Edit: You might consider using 'nl' as beginSeparator parameter and 0x7C as endSeparator. This will do the trick. However, this would add a blank line in the beginning of the file.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Riyaz

XI File Content Conversion Issue

Peace to All,
I am having this funny problem in File Content Conversion:
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:ZIN_MT. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd
What did I do:
DATA TYPE1.
Structure1:                 TESTOUT_DT           Complex Type
                                         REC               Element                      1-1

                        name12-name22
Configuration of Sender File :
    DocumentName            : TESTOUT_DT
    Document NameSpace : http:/myspace.com/test1
    RecordSetName            :          Recordset
    Recordset Structure       : Rec,1
Rec.fieldNames                 :name11,name12
Rec.fieldSeparator             :,
Rec.endSeparator             :'nl'
So when I test it it picks up the file but is unable to map it to destination.
Can anyone help me to find out why?.
One more hint is that I am using Third party Business System and I use the same for both file CC sender channel and Filereceiver channel.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks

Many thanks to your guidance...SDN is the best...It worked
Moving forward I encountered another issue, when I extend it a Trail to it and end up with this mapping:
ZOUT_MT 11      -ZIN_MT 11
     Recordset 1--1
             Rec 1unboundedTest01 1-----unbounded

                   name12(string)    1..1----

Trail.keyFieldValue           : 1
Trail.fieldSeparator           : ,
From all this work above , when I put the file having:
   1,111,112
   1,222,223
   1,333,334
   1,99
The output file in empty (null)...
Does anyone out there understand why the output file is becoming null..
here is the log I get in workbecnh (commuunication channel)
