CUT parameter in the content conversion of the Receiever File Adapter

Hi,
I have mentioned the CUT parameter in content conversion in the receiver file adapter, it is working fine. The only problem is it inserts one blank line in the file. Is there any way to remove this blank line other than running script.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Prateek

Hi Prateek,
If your File Content COnversion is Row Level(not in field level)?
i.e fieldSeparator = 'nl' if so try like this-
endSeparator = 0
Hope it will remove the blank line.

Moorthy

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.

OIM Reporting: How to pass a dynamic parameter in the xml file

Hi,
I am generating a custom report in OIM. My stored procedure is ready and I am getting the required data when I query the database. However,while displaying it through the xml file, I need to filter the fetched data by group name. The glitch present here is that the group name is dependent on the resource selected and so the group parameter is dynamic. How can I pass this dynamic group parameter in the xml file to filter the data. Which attributes are to be used. Can anyone please help me out regarding this?
Thanks in Advance,
SK

The OOTB OIM reporting mechanism does not support dependant LOVs, which is
what you are asking for.

Output File Should contain the following data:
I am varun rajaraman staying at B-2 bearing employee no. 8204.
(name,surname) (address) (Employee No.)
i.e data should be in a single row.
So, i have a problem of reading the data from input file i.e data from each row and transfering it into output file along with which i need 2 insert "i am " ,"staying at", etc.

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

Need to get the Mail attachment name as it is to the receiver file adapter

I am doing a Mail to File scenario. I need to get the attachment from the mail and store it on the file server. I am using the PayloadSwap bean in the sender mail adapter. My requirement is to carry forward the attachement name as it is to the receiver file adapter side and store the file with the same name.
Did any one try doing this? I was looking at developing an adapter module but got struck as I could not find whether the attachement name is stored in the XI payload after it has got swapped using the swap bean.
Any help would be appreciated.
VJ

Oops pressed the send key. Take two.
This is becoming a damn nightmare. When I run the adapter I am getting ModuleExceptions. Can you pass your eyes over these Java config settings to see what I am doing wrong.

Archiving files in the Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to archive the file created in the Receiver File adapter. Reading from the link below,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
I gave the command cp %F <target dir> in the Command Line of "Run Operating System Command After Message Processing". As well as I tried cmd.exe copy %f <target file>
But it does not work. Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks
Shivanjali

Hi Aamir,
For my case its not feasible to make a bat file...
I want to write a direct OS command in adapter only.
Do you know what is the basic difference for running OS command before processing and after processing.
In my opinion if i use a OS command after file processing then it ll take a file name with timestamp so there may be a problem...
thanks
Shivanjali

Repeating structure through the receiver file adapter

I wanted to ask wheter it is possible to create repeating structure through the SAP xi receiver file adapter. What I'm trying to accomplish is this:
Item1
Item2
Item1
Item2
(variable number of times).
I can accomplish the following:
Item1
Item1
Item2
Item2
What I could do is have the Item1 and Item2 fields in the same segment in the design time, but this would mean the file adapter would write all the items on a single line instead of two.
There is no way to define line breaks between the the receiver file adapter field parameters ?
There is no way to support nested structures in the recordset definition ie. Item1.Item2 ?

Henri,
What Vishal means is following:
Add sequences of the tag <recordset> between pairs of item1, item2:
<documentName>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
</documentName>

and in the Receiver side i want the file in the bellow format: (each field i want to get in the separate line but at presnt I'm getting the continution of all lines I'm not getting the data in a separate lines..)
Header_string
LineItem_String
LineItem_String

Hi jain
Provide as below definitely it will work,
RecordSet Structure : batch,Line_Item,LineItem_String
batch.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
Line_Item.fieldSeparator -
 'nl'
LineItem_String.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
All your fields will come in a separate line.

Duplicate message handling in the sender file adapter

Hi,
I enabled duplicate file handling check in the sender file adapter so that whenever there is a duplicate file it should send me an alert also it should disable the channel so that i do not get that duplicate file alert message again and again.
My question is will it activate the channel again as soon as a new file arrives or do i need to manually do that.
Michal's PI tips: Duplicate handling in file adapter - 7.31

Hi Hema,
You will have to activate the channel manually. The idea behind the 'disable' functionality is to avoid further file processing through that channel which can only start once the channel is activated again manually.

Abhishek

How can I extend the JCA File Adapter

I would like to extend the JCA File adapter. I want to overcome the file size limit of the File Adapter.
I want to the JCA Fileadapter to have the following functionalites.
1. Split a file into smaller chunks, The chunk size will be set at design time and will be in bytes, an example would be split the file into 500K chunks.
2. Each file chunk will contain a Correlation Identifier and Message Sequence identification fields so it can be rebuilt by the receiver.
Is the beat approach is to write my own JCA File Adapter if I do how do I incorporate it within Jdeveloper?

In short, you will have to do the following:
1. Develop an adapter which is compliant to JCA 1.5 spec. You should be able to run that as a web application within the OAS.
2. It should create a WSDL which is adhering to the WSDL Spec 1.1. Then JDeveloper will consume the same without any issues during the design time.
Alternately,
You can check with Oracle with the new featuren requrest for enhancing the File adapter.

Cretaing a new adapter using the existing file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a new adapter type copying the existing file adapter. That is I want to create a new adapter type for example "FNFS" and use the same module callsapadapter which is used in the File adapter. So that this new adapter type "FNFS" functions like the File adapter,
What are the actions I need to perform to acheive this.
Thanks in advance.

what will be the significance of that?
I think if you need some extra functionality then Development of Custom Module is enough.

Question about file conversion in the sender file adapter

Hi, all.
I am trying to get the file adapter to parse a file. The message type is the following:
JOB
 Msg 0..1
 Transaction 0 ... unbounded
 Data 0 ... 1
 f1 string
 f2 string
How would you define the recordset name and recordset structure to produce the same structure in the converted xml. I tried:
recordset name : Msg
recordset structure : Data, *
But the transaction is missing. I tried:
recordset name: Msg
recordset structure : Transaction, *
Then the data is missing. Note that the actual data in f1, f2 ... are loaded successfully though.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi, Hareesh
I agree. But that is how it is defined now by someone else. It is hard to change it as he defines the same structure on the receiving side. I didn't want to change the receiving structure as it touches the proxy code too. So I want to make something short and sweet.
Basically the data looks like this:
11,222
55,666
The result xml should be something like:
<JOB>
<Msg>
 <Transaction>
 <DATA>
 11
 222
 </DATA>
 </Transaction>
 <Transaction>
 <DATA>
 55
 666
 </DATA>
 </Transaction>
</MSG>
</JOB>
I know either the DATA has no meaning and it's giving me a headache ... but that's how it's done and I don't want to rock the boat too much. There are lots of mapping that I have changed otherwise.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

File Content Conversion in EDI to File without Seeburger

Hello Friends,
I am using just 2 fields Name and Address in 864 Transaction code.Can anybody help me how to do File Content Conversion from EDI to Xml.as i am using only 2 levels of hierarchy..Please explain me the step by step process 

Dear Kayanth,
My advice to you is if your implementing organization has more then one EDI scenario today or plan to add more EDI scenario to the business is to use the Item Field Content master with the XI.
This tool is powered by NetWeaver and allows to translate all standard EDI messages from txt file to XML.
The tool is represented today by Informatica and is used as a java file deployed in the file adapter.
This will sit-well with the XI development methodology of getting the whole EDI message into the XI in an XML format because in the future you might need more then two fields in the message so modifying the interface will take less time.
Try to look to the future of the implementing organization when it comes to interfaces.
"Quick & Dirty" is not always the best way....usually in the long run - its the worst...
Good luck.
