Doubt In File Content Conversion

HI,
I need a help on creating a header line with tab spaces
example
name <tabspace> NO <tabspace> EMP ID
i know the option of using addHeaderLine but in this how to leave the tab spaces between the header fileds.
i have tried with \t and ASCII code between the header fileds but it was not working
Kindly help me on this.
thanks in advance..
With regards
Pradee N.

Hi Pradeep,
I did like this:
i took data in notepad with tab space as field separator. copy those spaces from notepad and copy in FCC in xi
in FCC, row.fieldSeparator copy those whitespaces in the value column
this worked out for me...
try like this

I am getting below Out put.
firstname last name
springford dr 1234567
My requirement is out put shoule come in a single row like:
firstname last name springford dr 1234567
Please advice me how to do get desired output. i have searched in SDN, i am not able to get how to get record in sigle row.
thanks

then name and address fields

Doubt regarding File Content Conversion. File- RFC

Hi Experts,
My scenario is File -> XI -> RFC,
I am able to update the records in R3 when i get a fixed length file with a single record.
RFC can process one record at a time (its 1 to 1 , its not 1 to unbounded),
May i know what are the changes to be done in the scenario to implement this existing interface to process a fixed length file contains a multiple records.
How to get RFC return messages when ever there is return message , as this is not the synchronous scenario.
Please help me out.
Thanks

HI,
First you need to create a structure [SE12]
Once that is done, open the function module [SE37] and select the tab [Table].
Add a new parameter and for the Associated Type use the structure that you have just created.
Then reimport the RFC in XI.
I hope it helps.
Now, to make the RFC return messages you shall create a BPM.
Notice that this will be a Async -> Sync -> Async interface...
Basically your bpm steps will be like this:
Receive,
Transform if needed,
Syncronously Send and receive response,
Transform again if needed,
Send Asynchronously.
Take a look at the image in the link to have a better idea on the BPM setup

Dhanush,
According to help.sap.com standard structure
<root>...
<nameA>
<value1>value</value1>
<value2>value</value2>
<value3>value</value3>
</nameA1>
<nameB>
<value4>value</value4>
</nameB>
</root>...
I guess if you reduce it to one level like by removing item or BUSINESS_PARTNER it should work.

Doubt regarding Sender adapter file content conversion to RFC

Hi Experts,
Below is the my Source and Target XML structure ( i have creaated source structure same as target RFC structure), This scenario is working fine when i give XML file as input. File -> XI -> RFC , xml file is able to update the information in R3.
How should i configure sender file adapter for file content conversion for above structure(in this case input is fixed lenth text), and i could able to change source structure according to our req, without changing target RFC strucuture.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_HSA_IDNumber xmlns:ns0="urn:passhe.com/UpdateIdNumberISA32">

 <VALID_TO>20091231</VALID_TO>
 </IDENTIFICATION>
</ns0:MT_HSA_IDNumber>
I have configured sender file adapter with FCC like :
Document name as: MT_HSA_IDNumber
Document name space as: urn:passhe.com/UpdateIdNumberISA32
Record structure as: COMMIT_I,1,IDENTIFICATION,1
COMMIT_I.fieldNames : COMMIT_I
COMMIT_I.fieldFixedlengths: 1
IDENTIFICATION.fieldNames: STUDENT,ID_TYPE,ID_NUMBER,VALID_FROM,VALID_TO
IDENTIFICATION.fieldFixedlengths: 12,6,60,8,8
i am getting error like this: even when i change source structure like below metioned:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Please help me out
thanks
dhanush

Hi Dhanush,
Try giving the Sender FCC this way for the source structure you have mentioned above.
Record structure as: COMMIT,1,IDENTIFICATION,1
COMMIT.fieldNames : COMMIT_I
COMMIT.fieldFixedlengths: 1
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Dhanush,
 It is better always if u have a structure with Header and trailers if u have a subsrtuctures in it & always try make it in this format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_ContentConversion_Test>
 <Header>
 <F1>HF1</F1>
 <F2>HF2</F2>
 </Header>
 <Item>

 <F2>IF2</F2>
 <Item>
 <Trailer>

 </Trailer>
</ns0:MT_ContentConversion_Test>
Try to go through this blog it will be very helpful to u :

File content conversion:move files to a new directory

hi all,
I have a file content conversion sender and receiver scenario.Now my doubt is: XI is running on sap27 server.Input file is being created by an ABAP program in r/3 and file being put in sap29 server.
In source directory if i am giving the sap29 path it is not working.Is there any way that i can write a OS command to move files from 29 to 27 before message processing ??
Any other option available??
thanks,
Nisheeta

hi,
Yes the basis people have shared the folder and they have mapped the sap29 folder into sap27 using I:\ drive
But the files are not getting picked....am i giving the source directory wrong??
I am giving I:\Folder_Name
suggestions needed
thanks,
Nisheeta

Hierarchy on file content conversion for receiver?

Y'all,
I'm stuck in this problem and I haven't find a solution to solved it... so, all your clues and reply's are really appreciate...
The basic problem is a File content conversion for a receiver C.C. that is not working and it's raising some errors in the RWB, I have gone thru some blogs but I still having a lot of doubts...
I want to produce a flat TXT file that will have a line for every node or subnode, it doesn't matter if it's not represented as hierarchical structure like this one... but the records must be produced or written in the same order...
Man_Del_Header as main node with Man_Header, Delete_Detail and Trailer as subnodes...

So as you can see, i wanna produce a flat file that will have line or record for each node, it doesn't matter that it has a hierarchy or a deeper level, it should be a simple flat file...
The thing is that i have been trying to setup the receiver comm. channel and it's raising some errors like Could not process due to error:
java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters! (Value 'XXXX')', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
I have checked this blog:
/people/karthiknarayan.kesavan2/blog/2007/08/22/file-content-conversion-for-multi-hierarchical-structure
Unfortunately i don't know if there's another way to achieve this...

Jerry,
it easy if you go with multi mapping concept and without BPM if you are above >XI3.0 SP14.and use Append mode in the receiver file adapter.
just create the target structure like root under that Man_Del_Header,Man_Header,Detail,Trailer at the same level but got be careful with occurences.
Source:
I think from your structure you have
Man_Del_Header (1-unb)
Man_Header (1-1)
detail (0-unb ) may be (1-unb)
trailer (1-1)
create target DT like:
ROOT
..Man_Del_Header (1-1)
..Man_Header (1-1)
..detail (0-unb ) may be (1-unb)
..trailer (1-1)
all are at same level under ROOT.
create MT,MI,MM,IM.
in MM just map correspoding fields and if you have any unbounded onces map the nodes too. and map Man_Del_Header in the source to MT_XYZ (important)
and in the MM go to MESSAGES tab and change the occurences of the target Message to 0-unbounded same way in the interface mapping 0-unbounded.
here it create anothe extra node in the mapping something like Message1,this is ok.
and in ID just create all other objects like as usual except creating Interface determination ,in that select the extended radio button.
in reciever File CC use FCC ,would be very simple in the recordsetstrcture give
your four nodes Man_Del_Header,Man_Header,Detail,Trailer.
and use either fixed or field seperator.use append mode in recv File CC otherwise it will generate files as many occurences your source "Man_Del_Header" has ,cos we are mapping it to the MT--xyz .
thats it you are ready to go...

When should message protocol be FILE CONTENT CONVERSION

HI one and all,
What doubt keeps haunting me is when should message protocol be selected FILE CONTENT CONVERSION.
for what format of sender information IS THIS USED ?
Ur answer is awaited.
Thanking you,
Ranjith.

Ranjith,
Consider the below cases u are sending XML file as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Test_MT xmlns:ns0="urn:test">
 <EmpProfile_Msg>
 <Empno>1001</Empno>
 <EmpName>J</EmpName>
 <DepartmentName>SAP</DepartmentName>
 </EmpProfile_Msg>
</ns0:Test_MT>
But while writing the output u need the file as
1000 , J, SAP
Then u have to go for File Content Conversion at the Receiver adapter.
Similarly ,consider the other way around u are sending the file input as
1000 , J, SAP and u want XML , then u have to do FCC in sender adapter.
Hope it clears!!!
Best regards,
raj.

File content conversion Testing

I would like to know method to test File Content Conversion to ensure it is read into the correct structure.
Thanks

You can do that by checking in the RWB->message monitoring, XI calling the file content conversion module.
If you have any doubts using the File Content Conversion, check

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

322 222 222 222 222 222

 <cef>3434</cef>
 <ecf>343</ecf>
 <fgi>434</fgi>
</SEND>
</ns0:MT_send
As per the client req I'm going with FCC. The file is picking fine with the FILE. But not picking with the FCC.
The parameters which I gave are as follows.
SOURCE I feel it is fine since file is picking fine and keeping the same for FCC also.
PROCESSING
QOS -- Exactly Once
Poll Interval -- 10
Processing Mode -- Delete
Empty-File Handling -- Process empty files
CONTENT CONVERSION Parameters
Document Name -- (am giving sender data type name) DT_send
Document NSpace -- http://OTO-Continue.com
Recordset Name -- SEND
Recordset Structure -- SEND,*
Recordset Sequence -- Ascending
Recordset per Message -- 0
And in the table the parameters am settings are
SEND.fieldNames abc,bcd,cde,def,efg,ghk
SEND.fieldFixedLengths 7,7,7,7,7,7 (because each and every field has 7 characters)
SEND.keepIncompleteFields No
SEND.fieldFixedLengthType char
SEND.fieldContentFormatting trim
SEND.fieldEndSeparator 'nl'
This was the configuration. But this is not working I monitored the Communication Channel and file is not reading and not getting deleting.
What actually went wrong in above configuration. Why it is not working.
Thanks.

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.

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
