CSV File Content Conversion

Hello, I have a litte problem with the File-Adapter and the File Content Conversion.
We get csv-files in which are 2 structures
the first row contents headerinformations like invoicenumber and sumfields.
The following rows contents item-informations.
I want to convert the file in a xml-format like this:
<invoice>
   <invoiceheader>
     .... (information from the first row)
   </invoiceheader>
   <itemlist>
      <item>
          ... (information from 2. row )
      </item>
      <item>
          ... (information from 3. row )
      </item>
      <item>
          ... (information from last row )
      </item>
   </itemlist>
</invoice>
The csv-file looks like this:
In the csv-file i have no keys which determine the kind of row. I only know that the first row contains the headerinformation and the following rows (2. until last) contains the item informations.
Any idea ?
Kindly regards
Detlef Breitwieser

Hello anybody !
I want the conversion is done by the file-adapter -
and i have no keyvalues - that's the problem.
I only know - the 1. row contains the headerstructure and the following rows contains the itemstructure.
I configured the Fileadapter with this paramters (for an example)
xml.recordsetStructure=HeaderSum,1,Item,60000
xml.recordsetName=AvisRechnung
xml.recordsetsPerMessage=*
xml.documentName=Avis
xml.HeaderSum.fieldSeparator=;
xml.HeaderSum.structureTitle=head
xml.HeaderSum.fieldNames=head1,head2,head3,head4,head5,head6,head7,head8
xml.Item.fieldSeparator=;
xml.Item.structureTitle=item
xml.Item.fieldNames=item1,item2,item3,item4,item5,item6,item7,item8,item9
The Csv-File is this:
79;1616243;0;20050706;200401;RWE_DEBIT_AVIS_200401.txt;200401;978;

Problem in file content conversion from XML to CSV

Hi Experts,
I am finding problem in file content conversion. I need to convert the following XML file into CSV file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_CROSS_REF xmlns:ns0="urn:dabur:idoc2file:pos">
      <Update_type>2</Update_type>
      <PLU>00000000</PLU>
      <Cross_ref_PLU>7777777</Cross_ref_PLU>
      <Capture_PLU />
      <Package_size />
      <Package_desc />
</ns0:MT_CROSS_REF>
The output file data has to be like:
2,00000000,7777777,,,,
The problem I am facing is while specifying the content conversion parameters in communication channel i dont know what recordset structure i should mention as all the records are directly under root. If I mention recordset structure as "ns0:MT_CROSS_REF" and parameters as
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.fieldSeparator   ,
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.endSeparator    'nl'
i get error in communication channel monitoring and no file is posted.
Please help me as to what correct parameter i should mention in my case.
Thanks,
Regards,
Yash

Hi Chirag,
I cannot change the xml file as it comes after mapping idoc to a message type. How can I add ROOT in the xml? My message type is like MT_CROSS_REF and it has those 6 fields as in the XML (Update_type, PLU etc.). I do the mapping of these fields from a IDOC and get the XML.
I hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Yash

Complex file content conversion in case of CSV file

Hi Friends,
What you see below is generated from Excel i.e excel file saved as CSV file. This file i need to map in XI.
Problem is i have to take only the data and not the header part.
for e.g in this particular line
Employee ID          :,,E00315
I need only E0315 and not the header value. Similarly i have to find some solution to map all the required data.
Please suggest me how to use file content conversion in such scenarios.
Solution is required on top priority. Points will be immdly rewarded.
Thanks & Regards

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 content conversion: String with commas to CSV

Hi Experts,
I have the following structure
DATA (1..n)
...Result (1..1)
The Result field contains a string like below
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j
How do I put this into File Content Conversion when I want the receiver to be a CSV file? One cell per letter.
Thanks in advance.

Outbound: you could convert your flat file to xml at first. Make the necessary mapping to the destination structur.

File Content Conversion CSV File

Hello All,
I have a CSV file in the below format.
a,b,c
And my content conversion works.
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
Sometimes I get the records in the file as
a,b,
My conversion is failing, I mean it give me file as
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
The last element <3></3> is not getting created.
I tried to use lastFieldsOptional its not working.
How can I achieve this.
Regards,

Okay Satish I will give a last try to explain you my issue..
my CSV file is like this a,b,c,d
my conversion works fine so the xml is after conversion
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4>d</4>
Now few rows in the file may come as a,b,c, there is no d value it is blank.
so I expect the conversion to be now
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4></4>
like this, but what I am getting now is after conversion...
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
tag <4></4> is not getting created and my Outbound expects the XML to be in that format, so for this I tried to use lastfieldsoptional so that empty <4></4> tag is created but no luck...
This is what I want to do..
In the process even though <4></4> is not created File Content Conversion is successful and so Adapter Monitoring is showing success and my mapping fails.

Can External Definition be used or Receiver File content conversion (CSV)?

Hi Experts,
I'm a newbie to SAP PI and I started working on file to File(FCC) scenario in which I am provided with the receiver structure as an External definition. The structure is like
Name
Place
Designation
Salary
hike
Can I use the same structure (External Definition) for the receiver file content conversion or do I need to create another specific structure?
Can I convert the target CSV file to UTF-8 encoding?
Please help.
Regards,
Taro

Hi,
Can the above specified structure be used for receiver FCC? Does this work? Can this be converted to UTF-8?
If it can be used, how do we specify the parameters for FCC then as there's no root element?
Regards,
Taro

Can't get File content conversion to produce CSV file

Hi Guys
Have no problem at all getting XML file created via an RFC
Structure is something like this
From MONI message monitor inbound message    payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>Middelkampseweg 1</STREET>
etc
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Receiver Grouping payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
etc.
With no conversion xml file is created on output directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test"><customerid>100853</customerid><company>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</company>
etc
Now trying to use File content conversion with the simplest possible conversion -- just insert a colon after all the fields in the structure.
Following parameters
Adapter type FILE
receiver box checked
Message protocol File Content conversion
File access etc as before
Content conversion parameters
Recordset : IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER
(have also tried Z_XI 005_RFC)
Name
CUSTOMERID.fieldSeparator :        (colon)
MONI shows message received by XI and processed correctly but NO outfile gets written to the target directory.
what am I doing wrong --it's probably something stupid.
The data into XI is a ONE RECORD structure -- not a table etc.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi guys -- both solutions STILL not working
all I'm now getting is just a file with garbage in it
Payload is fine on XI system
Here's the payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
- <item>
<CUSTOMERID>65013</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>OY PANDA AB</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>PANDA</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>P.O.Box 3</STREET>
<STREET2 />
<STREET3 />
<STREET4 />
<POSTCODE>3331 GT</POSTCODE>
   etc etc until end of customer mmaster details
</item>
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Without conversion file is generated on target directory
Here's the XML output file sent to the directory
(for testing I only usec the ist 3 fields)
Not sure why <item>   disappeared - maybe that has something to do with it ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
<CustomerId>65013</CustomerId>
<company>OY PANDA AB</company>
<shortname>PANDA</shortname>
</ns1:MT_customer_header>
RFC call from R3 system is fine (otherwise I wouldn't get the message into XI. Transaction SM58 as well on R3 shows no RFC errors
Converted file is just a blank with nl character at the end ??????
cheers

File-Sender: Verification of file content during file content conversion

Hello,
I have a question regarding file verification when using the file-sender adapter.
I got a flat file (.csv) that I convert into XML with the file-sender adapter and file-content-conversion.
In the file there is a column RecTyp that is my KeyFieldValue. Possible values for RecTyp are B, D, U, T.
So far so good. All this works perfectly.
If (due to an error) there is another value in RecTyp than the 4 mentioned above (B;D;U;T) the file adapter ignores this row today. And here begins my issue:
I want to change this behavior. That means in detail, I want to check if there is another value in my KeyFieldValue RecTyp than specified. If this is the case an exception should be thrown. The whole message should not be delivered.
We had the idea to use the module-processor for this verification.
But may be there are other suggestions. Or may be some one can provide an appropriate module that is already written, etc.
Does anyone have an idea?
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi,
It is better to pick the file in generic way i.e Row by Row and then go with the validation with the help of Adapter Modules or in the Mapping.

plz help me ASAP.
thanks and regards,

Hi Varun...
Regarding ur error.....the name and password u send in csv is not getting recognised.. so u have to check the data type structure.
there must be a recordset name and subelement must be recordset structure..the data type must be
<datatypename>
      <recordsetname>
           <recordsetructurename>
              <name>
               <password>
please try in this format and ur name and password will get recognised

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

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.

Supress Column Heading - File Content Conversion in Sender Adapter

Hi,
Let me give a more clear picture about my scenario. I need to convert CSV File to XML output:-
My source file has column heading and values. The sample data is mentioned hereunder:-
PERNR;KID;PNALT;NACHN;NAME2;VORNA
;1200;1200;Angus
I have created a data type as under:-
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
     Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
          Header (Category - Element, Occurence - 0...1)
               PERNR_H
               KID_H
               PNALT_H
               NACHN_H
               NAME2_H
               VORNA_H
          Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
               PERNR
               KID
               PNALT
               NACHN
               NAME2
               VORNA
The file conversion parameters in the file sender adapter are mentioned hereunder:-
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Header,1,Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
I dont' have a key field value. How do we remove the header and show only the values in the xml output. I have searched the forum topics as well checked many blogs related to file content conversion, but nothing helped. Kindly advice how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Praveen,
Change your File Adapter as below
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
There is no need for the Header required in the data type.
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
PERNR
KID
PNALT
NACHN
NAME2
VORNA
Now the trick is in the mapping program
Lets assume your mapping looks like
MT_LegacyEmployee ---> MT_TargetEmployee
- Employees ---> Records
   - Employee ---> Record
     - PERNR ---> TargetPERNR
     - .. so on
When you do a mapping from Employee ---> Record apply the following logic.
(PERNR)--->
             (TestEquals =) --->(NOT)--->
(Constant) --->                                (IF)
(PERNR)                       (IF Without Else) ---> (Record)
                                               (THEN)
                            (Employee)--->
When doing this make sure RightClick on PERNR and Select Context ---> Employees.
By default context would be from Employee and it will give you an error of XSD format. So make sure you are changing the context.

Mail Adapter and File content conversion.

I have a scenario to send data from SAP to 4 different boards. I have used a Multi mapping for this scenario. I am using Proxy for SAP to xi and SOAP, File and Mail adapter for the external connections.
Questions:
1) I need to send a mail in CSV or Excell format in one scenario. I have used AF_StrictXml2Plain Module but its not working? any thoughts?
2) In the file adapter I have to add the YYYYMMDD (current Date) to the file name? when I use timestamp i get the time too, any way of getting only date? I cant use the Variable substitution as i dont have date in my payload.
3) Receiver File content conversion:
My Message Type Looks like this
MT_XX_XX
     Row
        title
        xxx
I have used these parameters:
Recordset Structure: Row
Row.addHeaderLine : 0
Row.fieldSeparator : ,
Row.endSeparator: 'nl'
am I doing something worng, the file content conversion doesnt work.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Make sure u are using the bean before the mail adapter bean.
Before using the file content conversion make sure that there are no substructures in it , in order to use addheader line as 0. else use addheaderline 3 and give the headerline as comma seperated values
for e.g if this is the type then addheader line= 0
Type 1 :
Record_Mt
     Row
         field1
         field2
else if this the type then addheaderline = 3
*Type 2: *
Record_Mt
     Row1
         field1
         field2
     Row2
         field1
         field2
add module like this
localejbs/sap.com/AF_Modules/StrictXml2PlainBean
with the module key e.g. key
for type 1 struct (as above )add parameter- key as singleRecordType and value as Row with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 0)
for type 2 structure (as above )add parameter- key as recordTypes and value as Row1, Row2 with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 3)

File Content Conversion -All the input content was not shown in output file

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, I need to send data from .XML file to .txt file, using File Content Conversion at Receiver communication channel. This is File to File scenario.
This is my Input xml file.
<ns:FILEINPUT_MT xmlns:ns="http://File2FileTest">
<RECORD>
    <Row>
      <FirstName>Susie</FirstName>
      <LastName>Tony</LastName>
      <City>London</City>
      <Country>UK</Country>
    </Row>
</RECORD>
</ns:FILEINPUT_MT>
<b>Processing Parameters</b>
Target Directory = C:/Test
File Name Scheme = xi_output.txt
File Construction Mode = Add Time Stamp
File Type = Binary
<b>Content Conversion Parameters</b>
Recordset Structure : RECORD
RECORD.endSeparator = nl
RECORD.fieldSeparator = ;
After Activate and providing the input xml file, xi_output.txt file was generated. But the file content was shown only with Susie i.e. with First Name only. I need xi_output.txt file should have all the four fields (FirstName, LastName, City, Country)
Could some one help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance
