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.

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.
Thanks

File XML Content Conversion: Problem with special characters

Hello,
in a file sender cc content conversion is used to transform a flat structure to XML. What we experiencecd is that the message mapping failed due to a character that was not allowed in XML:
I was assuming that the file content conversion just creates XML messages with allowed characters. Is there any way to configure content conversion to remove control characters which are not allowed in XML? Unfortunately the sender system cannot be modified.
Thank you.

Hi Florian,
Please use this UDF to remove special characters which prevent XML messages to form properly.
public static String removeSpecialChar(String s)
 try
 s=s.replaceAll("&","& amp ;");
 s=s.replaceAll("<" , " & lt ;");
 s=s.replaceAll(">", "& gt ;");
 s=s.replaceAll("'", "& apos ;");
 s=s.replaceAll("\"", "& quot ;");
 catch(Exception e)
 e.printStackTrace();
 return s;
Please remove spaces between characters within double quotes. I have added them because otherwise you can't see this code properly. Please check this below link , please replace the characters with proper values as the display is causing a problem here

File Content Conversion Issue

Hi ,
My Scenario is File to FIle having Sender .CVS using File Content Conversion
The sender file is coming below as an example,
a,b,"c,d,e",f
Here I need to consider Double code value "c,d,e" as a single field value using File separator as COMMA(,)
Please guide me how to achieve this type of file using FCC with file separator COMMA.

Hi Dilip,
We had a similar problem where the name for eg: "John,Smith" when written into a .csv file were considered as "John","Smith" as two different entities instead of one. The solution was we used the character quotes " before and after the name field message mapping before it is sent to channel for .csv conversion as shown in the screenshot. Now it is treated as one single filed instead of two.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Divya.

File Sender, Content Conversion - how to define variable length last field?

XI 3.0 SP17
With a File Sender communication channel, that uses Content Conversion - how do I define a 'variable length' last field?
The scenario - the input file has four fields, of which the first three are a known fixed length, and the last (fourth, trailing) field is variable in length.
Using a Message Protocol of 'File Content Conversion', how do I define that last variable length field (field name 'WOData' below) in the Content Conversion Parameters section?
My current parameters are:
Recordset Structure - Row,*
ignoreRecordsetName - true
Row.fieldFixedLengths - 1,12,5,99999
Row.fieldNames - WOType,WONum,WOLine,WOData
I've tried the following for 'Row.fieldFixedLengths' to no avail -
'1,12,5,*'
'1,12,5,0'
'1,12,5,'
'1,12,5'
The last two were grasping at straws )
The only thing I've got to work is specifying a 'large' value for the final field (99999 above).
In addition, does anyone know if specifying a large value (e.g. 99999) for the final trailing field will give rise to performance issues when the file is being processed?
In the help for "Converting File Content in a Sender Adapter", it states -
<Begin Quote>
NameA.fieldFixedLengths
If you make a specification here, the system expects a character string that contains the lengths of the structure columns as arguments separated by commas.
If you also specify a separator for the columns, you must not add its length to the length of the columns.
This entry is mandatory if you have not made an entry for NameA.fieldSeparator.
<End Quote>
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm

<< note that fieldFixedLengths will not take any wildcard entries like *. So in these case it is ideal to provide a maximum char length. But note that while the file is being created that many spaces will be created in your file !!! >>
Hi Shabarish,
Yes, no wildcard is the conclusion I came to, hence my maximum )
The message size did not increase by any 'blank padding'. When I look in [Message Display Tool (Detail Display)] 'Audit Log for Message: X' -
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Channel X: Entire file content converted to XML format
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Send binary file "X" from FTP server "X", size 103290 bytes with QoS EO
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Application attempting to send an XI message asynchronously using connection AFW.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Trying to put the message into the send queue.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success Message successfully put into the queue.
2006-10-17 18:22:42 Success The application sent the message asynchronously using connection AFW. Returning to application.
The input flat file in non-XML format was 92,132 bytes and the message payload into XI was 103,290 bytes.
My understanding is that trailing spaces are stripped from XML nodes.

Replace String in csv file with file adapter content conversion

Hello experts,
I have a sender file channel to receive csv files from an external server. I can process the csv files but I have a little problem. Since the separator in the csv file is a comma and sometimes a comma also appears in the dates but this time it is not a separator.
Example:
1234,20120123,ABCD,customer, which has a comma in it's name,...
5678,20120123,FGHI,customer without comma,...
My plan is to remove all commas when a blank follows.
My current content conversion looks like this:
Record.fieldNames field1,field2,...
Record.fieldSeparator ,
Record.endSeparator 'nl'
Is there something like Record.fieldReplaceString or something similar which I can use? Or is there perhaps a better way to do this?
I'd appreciate every help I can get here.
Best regards.
Oliver.

Hi Oliver,
I think I've got a solution for you, after all. All you need to do is have your customer name enclosed in quotes, like that:
1234,20120123,ABCD,"customer, which has a comma in it's name",...
Use the rest of FCC configuration as usually. You might also want to have a look at this wiki entry for a configuration example:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FileContentConversion
Moreover, see the description for "NameA.enclosureSign" in the help document below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

Doubt on Content Conversion

Hi All,
I am new to XI.I need some clarifications on content Conversion ASAP.In my input Flat file i have four fields and the format of input file looks like FirstnameLastnameAddress*Email where * is the delimiter seperating fields.But my output Flat file should be as "Firstname","Lastname" where every field should be in double quotes and * should be replaced with , truncating last two fields namely address and email.How is this Possible.Can you please explain every step in Detail starting from Data type and also specifying conversion parameters.
Thanks in Advance
Dinakar

Dinakar,
Please find the below strucure and config needs to be done.
Input Data type.
DT_Input
Root 1
Details 1..Unbounded
Fname 1
Lname 1
Address 1
EMail 1
DT_Output
Root 1
Details 1..Unbounded
Fname 1
Lname 1
Use Mapping Program and Map Details , Fname,Lname alone. Don't map Address and EMail. Also use the logic for adding "Fname" & "Lname" in your mapping program.
I think rest of the design parts u can manage.
Config:
Sender Comm.Channel
Document Name : MT_Input (Your Message type name)
Document namespace : urn:yournamespace
Recordset Name : Root
Recordset Structure : Details,*
Recordset per Message : *
Parameters
Details.fieldNames : Fname,Lname,Address,EMail
Details.fieldSeparator: *
Details.endSeparator: 'nl'
Receiver Comm.Channel
Recordset Structure : Root,Details
Details.fieldSeparator : ,
Details.endSeparator : 'nl'
Root.fieldSeparator : 'nl'
The above config is working fine. I checked and suggesting you the same.
I hope it helps.
Best regards,
raj.

Inconsistency File Content Conversion

Hi,
My scenario is file to r/3 wherein the source file is a fixed length file. So I am using file content conversion in my sender adapter.
My source structure looks like:-
DT_TRAN
|__RECORD 1..unbounded
|_____HEADER 1
|_____QUOTE 0...unbounded
|_____ORDER 0...unbounded
|_____INVOICE 0...unbounded
|_____BILLING 0...unbounded
|_____CONTACT 0...unbounded
|_____FOOTER 1
I am getting this error while executing the scenario.
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR consistency check in recordset structure validation (line no. 5: missing structure(s) before type 'Header'.
However, I checked the record in line no.5 and it's clean and perfect. But still getting the error. If I remove this record and execute, the file is picked and data is processed.
In File Content Conversion, I have used the following parameters:-
Recordset Name = Record
Recordset Structure = HEADER,1,QUOTE,,ORDER,,INVOICE,,BILLING,,CONTACT,*,FOOTER,1
I am using Key Fields to separately identify the details records. I used ignoreRecordsetName = true. In this case, in XML message payload does not contain <Record> node and so there is an error.
Can anyone suggest, how to overcome the issue such that all the records in the file are processed.
Thanks.
Balakrishnan

The content conversion parameters are:-
Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Record.fieldNames = HEADER,QUOTE,ORDER,INVOICE,BILLING,CONTACT,FOOTER
Record.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
like the above, i have done for all the nodes. However, if i remove the record from line 5 and process the file, the file is picked up and processed succesfully. i have checked many times. the line no.5 record is not having any issues with structure or fixed length calculation. for some reaosn, it gives the error.

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 %store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut , 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

Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?
And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

> With fixed lengths i get it working,
>
> but with de fieldseparator 0X09 it does not work,
> would you please tell me the complete FCC config not only the fieldSeparation line?
Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1
--------Field8 0..1

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.
