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....

Abhishek.

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
Babu

since in this case you dont seem to have a key value to figure out what your header is, it is better to go for a two level mapping. i.e first read all the data - each line as an xml tag. and in the first mapping group it as required and then use it for your original mapping.

Content conversion parameters for fixed length file

Hi,
Hey i have a small doubt.My input is like this
99443 123213 232234 12312 127544 23423
Here i have four recorsetnames namely HEADER1,HEADER2,HEADER3,HEADER4,HEADER5,HEADER6 all the recordsets are of same size but the lengths of the fields in it vary so i specified the following parameters
HEADER1.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,1
HEADER1.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER1.endseperator=" "
HEADER2.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,2
HEADER2.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER2.endseperator=" "
MY OUPUT XML STRUCTURE SHOULD BE like this
<header1>
<value1>9<\value1>
<value2>944<\value2>
<value3>3<\value3>
<\header1>
<header2>
<value1>1<\value1>
<value2>232<\value2>
<value3>13<\value3>
<\header2>
Is the content conversion parameters i specified enough for that. I wanted to know how would it know the begin of the next recordset(ie the seperation between the two recordsets) .Please help me its vey urgent
Thanks in advance
Sriandh

Are header 1 fields always going to occur first , then header 2 and so on?
By default file adapters do not support Nested Strcutures and so if the sequence is going to be the same and all of these have an occurence of 1..1 then things will work.
But if there is going to be an occurnece of * then you will need to use KeyFields.

Passing parameters from Communication channel to EJB Module

Dear friends,
We have an EJB module in NWDS. We want to pass some parameters from Communication Channel (Sender) in Integration Directory and use them in our EJB Module. Is there any function to do this process?? Please help me out
Thanks and Regards,
N.Jayanth Kumar

Hi,
Use the Channel object in this manner:
String cid = moduleContext.getChannelID();
channel = (Channel) LookupManager.getInstance().getCPAObject(CPAObjectType.CHANNEL, cid);
//To access channel parameters e.g in file adapter the connection parameters like host use the below code
String host = channel.getValueAsString("ftp.host");
PS: it is assumed that you are having the source code for adapter module development found on server

File Adapter - Content conversion parameters at Receiver

Hi all,
I'm trying to translate a XML message to a text line file.
My XML message is this:

For example:
RecordSet Structure: root
root.addHeaderLine 0
root.fieldSeparator ;
root.endSeparator ;
but the better result is all XML content.
Can someone tell me how to skip "Config" TAG and only write the "ROOT" one?
I'll apreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

We are using XI version: SAPKB64015, which version did you use in your weblog?
Thanks and regards,
