Content Conversion Parameters in Communication Channel

Hi,
I have a requiremnet to develop:
Scenario is SAP to Legacy System
Based on Mapping Sheet, I have defined Data types for both SAP and Legacy system. The Data structure is
There is a root node IS with occurance 1-n. In this node there is another node MS with occurance 1-n. This MS contains another node MI with occurance 1-n. MI contains MA node with occurence 1-n.Similarly MA contains MT node with occurance 1-n.
IS -> MS -> MI -> MA -> MT all with occurance 1-n.
Can anyone please help me in defining Content Conversion Parameters and Variable Substitution in Receiver Communication Channel.
Regards,
Deepak Raj

IS -> MS -> MI -> MA -> MT all with occurance 1-n
Your requirement seems to match with that mentioned in this blog:
/people/karthiknarayan.kesavan2/blog/2007/08/22/file-content-conversion-for-multi-hierarchical-structure
The blog does not mention the use of FCC...instead uses functionalities in mapping to get flat file....

Issue with content conversion in receuver communication channel

Hi,
I am trying to configure receiver communication channel with file adapter and content conversion.
File structure is simple, as shown below:
MT_EmployeeDetails
     Employee_rec
          Employee_rec_struct
               EmpNo
               EmpName
               Address
It should have generated file in the following format:
1101     xxxx     xxxxx
1102     xxxx     xxxxx
1103     xxxx     xxxxx
But it is generating flat file as shown below:
1101     1102     1103     1104
Basically it is populating only first field in the target field. But I could see that the xml file is properly getting
generated in sxmb_moni.Also, when i tried to generate xml file without FCC, it is creating file properly.
following are the parameters I am using:
Employee_rec_struct.fielSeparator     '0x09'
Employee_rec_struct.endSeparator     'nl'
pls let me know whetehr i need to add any other parameters in FCC.

Hi,
Can u please provide with the exact structure of target... i know u have mentioned it already...
But the hierarchy and occurence is nt clear..
Like
Mt
---Employee(1)
Records(0..unbounded)
Name(1)
Age(1)
So that others here,can easily get vt exactly u want and give the solution....
If ur structure is like..
MT_EmployeeDetails
---Employee_rec
Employee_rec_struct(0..unbounded)
EmpNo
EmpName
Address
Then,
Use,
Employee_rec_struct.fieldSeparator '\t'
end separator is optional... by default its new line characcter.. no need of giving....
U should be giving the recordStructure as Employee_rec_struct,*
If still nt solved do post

Reg:File content conversion for Sender File Adaptor

Hi all,
            i would like to know , how the file content conversion is written for the below mentioned XML code. The flat file will have only the table name and the fieldname
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Mt_File xmlns:ns0="http:/file_to_idoc">
   <query_table>ztable1</query_table>
   <row_count/>
   <Fields>
      <item>
         <fieldname>zempno</fieldname>
      </item>
   </Fields>
</ns0:Mt_File>
regards
priya

First you create the conversion rules, then you create the XML structure accordingly, not the other way.

Sender communication channel with file adapter

Hi All,
           Here i am facing some error with the communication channel in which i have used FILE adapter. Here i am using PI 7.0. Here i have configured the communication channel. but i didn't checked the "operating system commands". and i checked the " adapter specific message attributes". i dont know whether i have to check these adapter specific message attributes or not. When i have gone to runtime work bench there i saw in adapter monitoring. there it is not showing any error. but in communication channel monitoring it is showing that it is having -
"processing errors" but i am not getting where will be the error.. Any new ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ramana

Hi Bhavesh and Aaron,
              Here i viewed the XMl format of the sender file in the mapping. there i found the difference between the file i am trying to pick up by the adapter and the XML instance of the sender interface in mapping. The difference is there in the message type of the <ns0> tag the file i am trying to send is having one message type and name space, where as the XMl instance is having the other message type and same name space.
             i think that will the problem in processing my file. i am not sure about it.please any of you confirm that if it is th processing error i am facing or not.
            Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
Ramana.

File Content Conversion for Sender Channel

Hi Experts,
      We are using SAP - PI 7.11 system. We have a scenario where we wld be getting 7-8 records and the record structure repeats n no.of times in a flat-file and while converting the Flat -File data into XML data we are facing an issue , explained below with an example :
HEADER : KeyField , f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8
RECORD1 : f1, f2, KeyField , f3, f4, f5, f6, f7 , f8
RECORD2 : f1, f2, f3, f4, KeyField, f5, f6, f7, f8
TRAILER : keyField, f1, f2, f3, f4,f5, f6, f7, f8.
Its a fixed length flat - flie. Now the problem is : we have KeyField Value for RECORD1 as '0' and when the f3 of TRAILER is '0' the record is getting formed as RECORD1 instead TRAILER even i get proper keyField value for TRAILER RECORD. Could you please tell me why its happenning so ? And please provide the solution for this. I have used all the parameters like : fieldNames, fieldfixedLengths, keyFieldValue, endSeparator and ignoreRecordsetname and lastFieldOptional and fromConfiguration.
But still i am not able to get the proper XML out of this flat - file. Could you please suggest any solution for this asap.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Lakshman

Most of the configuration seems fine,
Just validate your configuration against below configuration, which is working fine for me,
Recordset Structure : HEADER, 1, RECORD1, ,RECORD2,,TRAILER,1
Recordset Sequence : Ascending
Recordsets per message : *
Key Field Name : recid
Key Field type : string
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths     *********************
HEADER.endSeparator     'nl'
HEADER.fieldNames     ************************
HEADER.keyFieldValue     01
HEADER.keyFieldlnStructure     add
HEADER.lastFieldsOptional     YES

AS2 sender communication channel

Hi All,
I have one As2 to proxy scenario, using AS2 sender adapter,PI will be receiving flat file from party and I am performing content conversion in sender As2 channel, there is no mapping involved, and PI is sending this data to SAP system via proxy using integrated configuration.
I have used 2 parties, one sender and one receiver, used 2 business components corresponding to each and one SAP system BC.I have mentioned AS2 ids in both the parties, and did the header mapping for receiver in integrated configuration ->Outbound processing tab.
Now when the file is pushed from AS2 server, there is no log in sender channel monitoring, means the file is not getting picked up from the AS2 server at all.
Can anyone please provide inputs how can we debug this problem.
Thanks,
Ruchi

Hi,
If you are using Seeburger AS2 adapter, then:
1. Check if the URL http://XXXXX:50000/SeeburgerAS2/AS2Server is up. It should show-"405 Method Not Allowed "
2. Check for AS2 messages in Seeburger workbench message-MessageIdStore Monitor
Thanks

Query on Content conversion for Receiver SFTP Adapter

Hi Experts,
We have the receiver structre as follows:
<DT_Receiever>
<Header>

<field2>1234<\field2>
<\Header>
<Detail>
<field3>nhj<\field3>
<field4>bshsrt<\field4>
<\Detail>
<\DT_Receiever>
We should do content conversion for the above structure using SFTP adapter at the receiver end.
Kindly provide us some tips in achieving the same.
Thanks
Suganya.

Hi Suganya,
You can use message tranform bean for ur case.
U have to use "StructXML2Plain"

Hi Abhishek,
Is there any special character present in the EDI file?
the parser is not able to parse the data.
you can check the BIC conversion log for more information.

JMS sender communication channel content conversion

Hi,
I struck with the content conversion in the JMS Sender communication channel.
I have configured the communication channel with the filed fixed lengths. (Simple type)
The field fixed lengths i have given are 10,2,3,11
The contents in the file 1000000072 230 111
but, in the input xml after conversion iam getting 100000007 in the first field and 2 in the second field 23 in the third field.
I have configured the sender communication channel as in the document in SDN.
Even, i configured several communication channels. I didn't get this strange error any time.
I have gone through SDN to fix this issue, but i didn't get solution.
If anyone got rectified this kind of error, please answer your solution to me
Thanking you,
Regards,
Krishnaraju.

Hi,
Thanks for all your support. The issue got resolved.
The issue is due to the file, In the file the special characters are appearing. We are not able to see these characters in the notepad, wordpad, text editor.
But, these characters are appearing in th syn text editor. So, we removed those characters and processessed the file. Now, it is successfull.

Krishnaraju.

Key field values for file content conversion at sender communicationchannel

Hi all,
I am working on scenario File to Idoc.In this scenario at the sender side we configure the file content conversion for .CSV file.
In the flat file i am having more than one orders, XI will pick the file and creates a separate Idoc for each sales order at r/3.
We have similar fields "Order Item Number" both header and item.
If we got '00000' on the Header item then it should create a new idoc at the r/3 side other wise it will create line item.
Order item number will be 00000 for header but it will differ from order item to item.
source structure
Order Header
Order type
Sold-to-code
PO number
Order item number
Order date
AdresName1
AdresName2
Street and House number
Postal Code
City
Country Code
Filler
Order Item
Order type
Sold-to-code
PO number
Order item number
Order date
Product code
Order quantity
Item text
Filler
Now I have some questions....
I don't have standard filed values to give the key fileds at source structure.
I need to create the Idoc at r/3 system for each individual record.
Is it possible to create new idoc with out using the Key filed value?
If it is possible then how can i proceed with fcc?
please give me your valuable suggestions
Best Regards,
satya

Hi,
Just check the Content Conversion Parameters- Recordset Structure.
If you have filled in this parameter with
Header,1,Item,1
then change it to
Header,1,Item,3
