Error in File to File scenario

Question

Hi All,
im trying out the file to file scenario [binary file using file content conversion]from SDN Wiki:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/main&
On the runtime workbench, adapter engine is in red/error status due to error in the receiver comunication channel.
The sender communication channel is working fine. During testing, my file is being picked up and deleted(processing mode set to delete).
I am able to see the msgs in sxmb_moni and in Message Monitoring, the status is delivered.
However, the receiver channel does not show any error msgs at all.
Yday when i tested , i got the foll error msg:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'EMP.Contacts.fieldFixedLengths' or 'EMP.Contacts.fieldSeparator' is missing
However tdy i dont see any new error msgs during testing (no changes made to the recvr channel).
Given that the sender communication channel is wrking, can i safely assume that file adapter is wrking fine. If not, how do i check the status of the file adapter [in RWB, i can see the file adapter  and various other adapters(with a grey diamond icon next to them). how do i interpret the status of the adapter?
Would really appreciate if anyone can advice on how to troubleshoot this?
Many thanx!
cheers

Hello Prachi ,
I thinks its because of receiver File Processing Parameters,as you are considering here File Content Conversion.
If your structure is like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:Proveedor_100011 xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/webservices/buyordint">
<config>
<directory>c:/tmp</directory>
<filename>dynamicFile3.txt</filename>
</config>
<root>
<string>Header;423423</string>
<lines>
<value>LINE;</value>
</lines>
</root>
</ns1:Proveedor_100011>
Then your content conversion is -
RecordSet Structure: config,root
root.fieldSeparator = ;
root.endSeparator = 'nl'
config.fieldFixedLenghts = 0
config.fixedLenghtTooShortHandling = CUT
