Conversion Agent - Help for scenario.
Hi Experts,
We are working on Conversion Agent for EDI - XI - IDOC, creating Parser in Conversion Agent, when we are using the same in Communication Channel, the file is not picked up from EDI Folder.
It is giving us one error "Error: java.lang.NullPointerException".
May be we are not creating the complete scenario and making some mistake in the scenario.
We have read many blogs and threads on SDN, but it is not making any help in our condition.
If anybody have complete scenario with screen shot, please give us that as it is urgent.
Please help,

XML to EXCEL with Conversion agent error: XML to EXCEL PROCCES FAILD
Hello,
I have scenario from Oracle database to Excel.
For this scenario I use with conversion agent by itemfield to transfer data from XML to EXCEL.
The scenario not worked.
Few points:
1. I add the conversion agent module to SAP XI receiver communication channel.
2. When I change the scenario to oracle to xml (without using conversion agent) the scenario works OK.
3. When I drag the CME file to the studio I found the error message: XML to EXCEL PROCCES FAILD.
4. I use with conversion agent in other scenario (EDI to IDOC) without any problem.
5. I'm not found any clue for this problem in XI RWB.
Eladhi Elad,
to do the conversion,you have to define a module and import it into you CC.

Conversion Agent - Mail Adapter integration issue
Hi Experts,
I have a Conversion Agent Serializer for generating a text file on the receiver side.
The Serializer works perfectly with the File Adapter on the receiver
side and generates the text file.
Now I have a requirement to send this file as an attachement in an email.
When I include the Serializer Module in the File Adapter
(Receiver), the email is not triggered.
The Communication Channel Monitoring shows the following:

Thanks & Regards,
ShobhitHi Ahmad,
The mail adapter works perfectly fine when I remove the Conversion Agent module from it. And the Conversion Agent module works perfectly fine with the File Adapter on the receiver side. So that authenticates that both the objects (Mail Adapter - receiver & Conversion Agent Serailizer module) are configured correctly as individual objects.
I have used the following parameters in the receiver mail adapter:
PARAMETERS
Transport Protocall: SMTP
Message Protocall: XIPAYLOAD
URL: smtp://xyz.com
Content Encoding: Base64
Keep Attachments: <TICKED>

Conversion Agent in PI 7.1
Hello Gurus,
I just wanted to know the usage of Conversion Agent. Especially in cases of Idoc, how does the Conversion Agent help in retaining the Idoc fields.Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
SwathiHi Swathi,
Conversion Agent is a tool that allows you to build XML from PDF's,. TXT and excel files, mappings
for EDI etc. So, if your file is a .TXT file, then you can develop the mapping using Conversion
aganet to convert the .txt file and then call the corresponding COnversion Agent Module from your
file adapter.
So much data about conversion agent in the sdn, check the below links

File Content Conversion - documentation, especially for all parameters?
Hi,
Can anyone point me to do for the File Content Conversion documentation? especailyl for all the parapters for record set structures? I've found some articles, posts here and there, but nothing that just lists them all.
I'm try to parse a flatfile thats simply looks like this:
abc
d
e
Into a single recordset with 3 structures..
the first struct has 3 fields, 1 char each
then 2nd structure has 1 field
then the 3rd structure has 1 field
however, no matter what I try, the engine always seems to try to parse the 2nd line as the first structure type.. thus complaining line 2 can't be converted to the first strucuture format...Here are couple of weblogs

Conversion Agent for XI 7 on Linux
Dear All,
We want use conversion agent software in our XI 7 server which is on Linux. Can anybody let me know what are the majoir steps that I should do.
I have searched SDN but all the installation information are based on Windows.
Ours is a linux server and please let me know how can I install the engine on Linux server.
Warm Regards
Mazdul
[email protected],Hi Bhavesh,
I deployed the required files through SDM.
Then in the step "Installing the Conversion Agent Software on Unix mentioned in the guide" it is mentioned
"Find the Conversion Agent setup file. The file has a name such as
Setup_uuu.bin, where uuu is the name of the Unix flavor. It is located in the
Conversion Agent subdirectory of the SAP XI repository, for example:
/usr/sap/J2E/SYS/global/Conversion Agent/Setup_linux.bin"
I found the file. Then it says to execute the *.bin file. Here I got stuck. Is it ever possible to execute a .bin file ??????? I tried several ways like changing the permissions but it did not work and I am unable to execute the file.
My question is
Is it at all required to run the .bin file?If yes how can i do it...Or is it just deploying the required sda s is good enough??
Please help.
Warm Regards

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
ChristophHi 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 Conversion Agent Module
I have tried to set up a scenario using conversion agent to transform a PDF file to XML. I followed the instruction steps in this blog <a href="/people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield:///people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield .But the communication channel can't work properly. I check the status of communication channel in RWB, and it gives following error message:

However I have already granted the access permission of the event folder to user "<sid>adm" and "SAPservice<sid>". Even grant full control access to everyone for the folder, the issue remains unsolved. Hope someone can help to give some advice on my case. Thank you in advance.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.
many links provided in that blog itself ,plz check.

If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
○ ignore
Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
○ add
Outbound structure contains all fields from the configuration; the fields missing in the inbound structure are empty.
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
2. NameA.additionalLastFields
If the inbound structure has more fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
○ ignore
Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
The default value is ignore. If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter, the default value is error.
If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter and do not set either of the parameters described above, apart from the default values, the conversion routine works the same as described under Handling Structure Deviations.
Only once you set one of the two parameters will the other parameter be evaluated with its default value.
To ensure a well-defined runtime behavior for variable inbound structures, we recommend that you always set both parameters.

Hi experts,
Our scenario is EDI-X12 data to XI to R/3 (both side)
For Converison Purpose,
We want to use Conversion Agent by Itemfield, but there are some other options also in the market like Seeburger and Iway adapters.
We have approx 50-60 EDI Scenarios.
Now, we want to justify that why we are using Conversion Agent not other adapters ?
Please help us ?

SAP Conversion Agent together with SAP Net Weaver, enables to automate complex integration activities for a multitude of data and document formats. These include unstructured and partially structured documents such as Office files, data streams, printing applications, and other application-specific formats.
Easily integrate unstructured and semi-structured data into SAP Net Weaver Process Integration using the Conversion Agent.
Conversion Agent dynamically converts unstructured messages from Microsoft Word,Excel,PDF plain text.
Semi-structured formats such as HL7,SWIFT,HIPA, ANSI X12 and COBOL to PI understandable SOAP XML.
So that it helps to easily integrate the information need into the back-end systems. Conversion can also be used as the reverse process to convert from XML to unstructured or semi-structured formats
