Conversion Agent by Informatica - serializing mappers

Hi Guys,
I need to create a Conversion agent module (To be called with in Comm channel of XI).
The module will be constructed of a parser and 2 mappers.
1st parser will parse a CSV file to XML.
2nd mapper will change the XML structure from non-hierarchical to Hierarchy XML .
3rd map will perform Additional transformation before the SAP PI standard adapter module is called.
please elaborate - does this method of transformation can be carried out using the ItemField tool.
and if so, how (what function should I call+short explanation)

> Will the standard CallAdapter module be able to still mange
> the archive of the original mesasge although the ouput of each converison module
> is different?
Yes, as long as the output of each stage is compatabile with the input of the next stage. You can imagine this as a module chain with each step in a serail fashion.
>Original file - CSV.
> Parser - output XML
> Mapper - output XML
> Need to archive the roginal CSV..
You can do this while you are picking up the file using the File adapter. Please see the below link. you have to set the processing mode as "Archive".

  • Conversion Agent By Informatica and Versions

    Hi Everyone,
    I need some help in relation to conversion agent. Quick back ground doing an implementation using PI 7.1, Seeburger FTP adapter and Conversion Agent (The incoming message is EDIFACT + X12).
    Now I need to validate this EDIFACT message and convert it to XML for which we are planning to use Conversion Agent.
    The confusion I have is that apparently there are libraries of Conversion agent which can do strict validations on edifact while converting to XML however basis team keeps on giving me the Content Master (eclipse + converison agent plugin bundle) by itemsfield and I don't see these new libraries or strict libraries in there.
    What i am confused with now is where can i get the the latest version of ConversionAgent, will it have libraries (new libraries) as part of it???? is there such a thing?
    regards
    Also whats the difference between ConversionAgent by Itemfield vs Conversion Agent by Informatica really?

    Hi Again,
    Please have a look at this url
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/fc39c16bfb025ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
    then there is a link for "Conversion Agent libraries"
    in that PDF page 18 is talking about two sets of libraries.
    That should clear up what i am trying to say.
    I am highly thankful for quick responses.
    regards

  • Seeburger BIC vs Informatica Conversion Agent

    Hi Experts,
    I am hoping I can seek some feedback on the above mentioned subject. I am going through an implementation currently which involves EDIFACT and X12 - various message types e.g. Orders, Desadv, Invoice, Order Confirmation and a few more.
    As part of the implementation we need to choose a tool to do EDI to XML conversion which can also do EDIFACT/X12 validations (syntax & semantic) plus a functional Acknowledgment.
    The two final options we have chosen are Informatica's Conversion Agent and Seeburger BIC (given we are using Seeburger FTP adapter for communication already).
    Now to make a final decision I was hoping if some people can share their experience (s) and give some pro's and con's for choosing one or the other please?
    Any comments will be highly appreciated.
    regards

    Hi mimranacc,
    I was hoping if someone can comment on Conversion Agent as well or if there is a white paper on the comparison of the two?
    I have extensively worked on Conversion Agent. My experience has been real good with this tool. It is quite handy and easy to use.
    Apart from unstructured messages from MS Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint etc, Conversion Agent can manage semi-structured formats like EDI, HL7, ANSI X12, COBOL and HIPA.
    It consists of set of libraries that are deployed on PI's J2EE server and is accessed by AE during runtime.
    The +ve points are -
    1. Very easy to install and use,
    2. Easily integrated with SAP PI,
    3. No additional adapter required for transformation to / from XML,
    4. No extra adapters installed on PI server, which enhances the performance,
    5. Monitor Conversion Agent messages in Integration Server.
    Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Seeburger BIC, so can't provide you a comparison.
    Hope this helps.

  • SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP 1 and Windows 2008 Support

    Hello
    I have read that some people were able to run SAP Conversion Agent on a PI 7.1 EHP1 Installation on Windows 2008 Sever. But in the Product Availability Matrix there is no support for 2008 yet.
    In the SAP Library (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/fc39c16bfb025ee10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm) under the release notes for SAP Conversion Agent there is still version 8.5, but when I install the actual Support Package I have Conversion Agent 8.6 running and according to information on the informatica.com site this version is running under 2008!
    Has anybody clear and actual information about which OS the newest SAP Conversion Agent for PI 7.1 EHP1 supports? Or has anyone experiance on Conversion Agent and Windows 2008 Server?
    Thanks
    Christoph

    Hi Mark
    Thanks for your reply! Fact is that in the actual Package (SP06) the version of Conversion Agent Engine supplied is not 8.5.5 as in the SAP Note mentioned, it is version 8.6.0:
    C:\Documents and Settings\pi1adm>CM_console -v
    Engine-Version: 8.6.0(Build:30)
    Engine-Syntaxversion:4.00.10
    I will oben a ticket for that ...

  • Error in XI while using standard EDI Libraries of Conversion Agent

    Hi,
    We are planning to use conversion agent for EDI to XML conversion using standard libraries.
    Right now working on EDI 867 and is working fine in my local system. But when we moved the contents
    to XI server, we are getting the following error
    *“ConversionAgent/ServiceDB/TS_867_Product_Transfer_and_Resale_Report_Parser/TS_867_Product_Transfer
    andResale_Report_parsers_segments.tgp(547): is_optional is not a known profile or PT”*
    Can anybody help us to solve this issue?
    Regards,
    Ravi

    HI,
    The module name must be localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.nw.cm.xi/CMTransformBean.
    The parameter name must be TransformationName.
    The parameter value must be the conversion agent project name deployed in serviceDB. In the above example, the Tutorial_3 project from the documentation in step 1 is used.
    And also it was failed to update the log.See the folder access onceagain.

  • Create EDI 997 with conversion agent

    Hello,
    I work with conversion agent by ItemField to convert EDI messages to xi and from XI to EDI.
    I succeeded to receive EDI 850, to parse this message and to transfer it to the IDOC and create purchase order.
    Now I try to send back to the customer EDI acknowledgment (997).
    I'll be happy to hear if someone use with conversion agent to create EDI 997.
    Elad

    Hi Elad,
    What are 997s?
    997 Functional Acknowledgments are EDI transactions that a receiver of EDI transaction sets sends back to the party that sent the EDI transaction sets. All EDI transactions require an EDI 997 to be sent back.
    Here is an example
    Wal-Mart sends an EDI Purchase Order to a supplier. With EDI Standard X12, Wal-Mart expects a 997 to be sent back to them. The 997 lets Wal-Mart know that the supplier received the Purchase Order. It does not say that the supplier accepts the terms or conditions of the purchase order. It simply lets them know that the supplier successfully received the Purchase Order.
    Here is another example. A supplier sends Wal-Mart an EDI Invoice. Wal-Mart will send a 997 back to the supplier. The 997 informs the supplier that Wal-Mart has successfully received the invoice.
    CovalentWorks handles all of your EDI transactions for you, including 997s, as an outsourced EDI service. If you choose us as your EDI provider, our system will automatically send and receive all your 997 Functional Acknowledgements. And every one of them is processed for you at no charge.
    Thanks,

  • Conversion agent mapping

    Does conversion agent or XI provide any out of the box mapping content to map conversion agent's EDI XML schema and IDOC XML? For example is there a mapping content (in CA or XI) between EDI_MSG_850_Purchase_Order and Orders.Orders05?  If so where can I get it?
    But I know it provides conversion of native edi to xml format via adapter modules.
    I read lot of blogs and forums, but couldn't find this information.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Why dont u got for seeburger for the EDI mapping into XML,seeburger have the standasrd mappings which are predefined and u have to define them in ur module tab in adapter.

  • INVOIC96a to EDI-XML by Conversion Agent fails, Special Character Problem

    Hi,
    with your help in another thread, I recognized that the EDIFACT INVIOC96a Parser of the Itemfield Conversion Agent has a Problem with special characters.
    So like described in this blog SAP XI supports EDIFACT i created a Library Project and tried to test the conversion.
    It is only working when no special characters are in the EDI file. If there a special characters insight the file, conversion agent say's no error, but the xml file is corrupted. In fact you can't display it in IE or by opening it with XMLPad it says "Not well formed".
    Hope that someone has an idea for this problem
    Thank you
    regards

    Hi,
    I have already faced the same problem when using Itemfield Conversion Agent.
    I solved the same with change properties of the project.
    In conversion agent project :
    opne the menu :  Project --> Properties --> Encoding --> Change the output Encoding Schema (None).
    use None in that schema in place of XML.
    Your problem can be solved.

  • SAP Conversion Agent

    Hi,
    I have browsed the net for quite some time to get some idea about EDI message handling in XI using the SAP Conversion Agent (CA). I have understood what is CA all about. but i still have few questions unanswered.
    1. How flexible or complex it is to use the the CA as compared to SEEBURGER ?
    2. It is a must to use the EDI message parsing templates provided in the CA library ?
    3. the cost factor. I have read that it is free for development and test landscapes. but for production landscape, we need to pay some license fee. Will this deprive us of any key functionality in the Dev and QUA landscape ?
    I have gone throught the help document. Please help me find answers for the above questions.
