File adapter XML example

Hi,
can anyone supply me with an xml and xsd example that works?
thanks
amit

hi amite,
i've e-mailed you an example. In the example i used a bpws:getVariableData to obtain the message type, but a straight assignment would also work so long as you get the message type and not its child, see Re: xpath expression is empty for input XML file - Help!!!

ESB/File Adapter - XML files containing multiple messages

Hi,
In all the examples on file adapters I read, if files contain multiple messages, it always concerns non-XML files, such as CSV files.
In our case, we have an XML file containing multiple messages, which we want to process separately (not in a batch). We selected "Files contain Multiple Messages" and set "Publish Messages in Batches of" to 1.
However, the OC4J log files show the following error:
ORABPEL-12505
Payload Record Element is not DOM source.
The Resource Adapter sent a Message to the Adapter Framework which could not be converted to a org.w3c.dom.Element.
Anyone knows whether it's possible to do this for XML files?
Regards, Ronald

Maybe I need to give a little bit more background info.
Ideally, one would only read/pick-up small XML documents in which every XML document forms a single message. In that way they can be processed individually.
However, in our case an external party supplies multiple messages in a single batch-file, which is in XML format. I want to "work" on individual messages as soon as possible and not put a huge batch file through our ESB and BPEL processes. Unfortunately we can not influence the way the XML file is supplied, since we are not the only subscriber to it.
So yes, we can use XPath to extract all individual messages from the XML batch-file and start a ESB process instance for each individual message. But that would require the creation of another ESB or BPEL process which only task is to "chop up" the batch file and start the original ESB process for each message.
I was hoping that the batch option in the File adapter could also do this for XML content and not only for e.g. CSV content. That way it will not require an additional process and manual coding.
Can anyone confirm this is not supported in ESB?

Ronald

Receiver File Adapter - XML

Hi
I have configured a receiver file adapter to send an XML message to a file directory.
The structure is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SiteDetails_MM xmlns:ns0="urn:Retail.net:SiteDetails">
- <ROWSET>
- <ROW>
<ext_cust_id>0003009996</ext_cust_id>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
</ns0:MT_SiteDetails_MM>
How do I get the line - <ns0:MT_SiteDetails_MM xmlns:ns0="urn:Retail.net:SiteDetails">
out of the message. Is it possible.
Can I use file content conversion.
any help is appreciated.
Joe

Hi,
>>> have configured a receiver file adapter to send an XML message to a file directory
If i understand it correctly, you need to send X.XML to some directory you configured and you want to do something with <ns0:MT_SiteDetails_MM xmlns:ns0="urn:Retail.net:SiteDetails">.. If i am right, you can use Run OS command after processing option at receiver file adapter.
Write one Shell script and do whatever you want to do with this file. Remove line, add something or anything.

Reciver File Adapter

Hi,
Looking at the SAP documentation for the receiver file adapter the example of output is as follows: -
<root>...
   <nameA>
         <value1>value</value1>
         <value2>value</value2>
         <value3>value</value3>
   </nameA>
   <nameB>
         <value4>value</value4>
   </nameB>
</root>...
What XML data that I have has the structure: -
<root>...
   <nameA>
         <value1>value</value1>
         <value2>value</value2>
         <value3>value</value3>
   </nameA>
   <nameB>
         <value4>value</value4>
   </nameB>
   <nameB>
         <value4>value</value4>
   </nameB>
   <nameA>
         <value1>value</value1>
         <value2>value</value2>
         <value3>value</value3>
   </nameA>
   <nameB>
         <value4>value</value4>
   </nameB>
</root>...
You will see that the <nameA> appears more than once with multiple <nameB> tags.
Can this be done using the content conversion. I have having difficulty in doing so.
Thanks
Martin

You can configure like this:
Recordset structure: nameA,Nameb
nameA.fieldSeparator : your field separator e.g , | etc
nameA.endSeparator : 'nl' or , or etc
nameB.fieldSeparator :your field separator e.g , | etc
nameB.endSeparator :'nl' or , etc

0 byte txt file using receiver File Adapter

HI,
My scenario is Flat File to Fixed Length File.
Mapping : Based on the condition Reciever node need to generated , In some cases it wont generate any node ( No data )
Receiver Communication channel : I used FCC for Fixed length Format.
Problem : When i am generatingf the receiver file with some data it executes. But when i am generating the file with no data , it fails in the receiver comminication channel.
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure 'ns0:Message1' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
I need the receiver file to generate with 0 bytes when there is empty data.
can any one help on this.
Thanks

Hi,
>>Problem : When i am generatingf the receiver file with some data it executes. But when i am generating the file with no data , it fails in the receiver comminication channel.
What happens in this case is, when you send a blank file to PI it processes but once it went to Receiver Adapter, it looks out for some fields because of the FCC settings. So it throws an error/exception because some fields are expected and it is not coming. Because of that you getting below exception.
Secondly, Once you send data with few values or fields it will process in Receiver file adapter FCC and if there is some error it throws error. this is why you getting exception in moni, and other places.

File Conversion in Rec File Adapter with subnodes

Hi
My XML Structure is like this -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_Test xmlns:ns0="urn:TESTconversion">
<MstName>Hello</MstName>
- <Header>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<PayDate>0102</PayDate>
<TotalAmt>24.00</TotalAmt>
<Total>000002</Total>
<PaySource>CHK</PaySource>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>200</CustID>
<PayAmount>11.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>400</CustID>
<PayAmount>13.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
</Header>
- <Header>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<PayDate>0103</PayDate>
<TotalAmt>10.00</TotalAmt>
<Total>000001</Total>
<PaySource>ONE</PaySource>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>100</CustID>
<PayAmount>10.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_Test>
which means
MT_Test is root 1..1
Header is the sub-node of MT_test as 1...*
Subheader is sub-node of Header which is also 1...*
rest of the fields are elements as 1..1
Now I need to convert this into Flat file using Receiver File Adapter, I gave this in my content conversion logic
recordset Structure -
MstHeader,BFKKZK,BFKKZP
MstName.addHeaderLine     0
MstName.fieldFixedLengths     8
MstName.endSeparator     'nl'
Header.addHeaderLine     0
Header.fieldFixedLengths     30,10,15,6,6
Header.endSeparator     'nl'
Subheader.addHeaderLine     0
Subheader.fieldFixedLengths     34,10,35,16
Subheader.endSeparator     'nl'
But with this I am getting exception as -->
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure 'ns0:MT_Test' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
I know that http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/686e687f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/content.htm says following -->
The expected XML structure contains the structure as nodes filled with any number of elements without additional subnodes.
But does that mean Structure with sub-nodes cannot be converted in flat format.
Pls. suggest the solution for this.

Shab
I resolved the issue & able to convert the hierarchical XML file into flat file with the desired format I wanted.
Rather then FCC, I use MessageTransformBean module and I have to insert more dummy contexts & dummy fields in the target structure in order to achieve the flat file format.
I am getting file ( not actual file below just template is shown below) like this now
Header1 ....details....
SubHeader1.1
SubHeader1.2
SubHeader1.x
Header2 ....details....
SubHeader2.1
SubHeader2.2
SubHeader2.x
Headerx ....details....
SubHeaderx.1
SubHeaderx.2
SubHeaderx.x
Once the total development is over on my side I will create the blog for this. So this following statement is only correct when you use protocol as FCC but not with module.
"The expected XML structure contains the structure as nodes filled with any number of elements without additional subnodes."

How to ignore a recordset in receiver file adapter

Hi, all.
I am trying to get PI to write a fixed length file via the reciever file adapter. Here is a test data structure I put together:
In the output file, I want the file adapter to ignore the recordset PAYPERIOD and field PERIOD. Only fields in DATA will be written to the file. Here is what I configure in the CC:
The problem is that the CC will not work unless I put in the recordset PAYPERIOD which starts printing the data in the PERIOD field. The data in PERIOD is only used to generate the output file name as a perameter.
Here is the error:
Attempt to process file failed with java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Column value 'Y1406' too long (>4 for 0. column) - must stop', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
Please help. Note that Y1406 is the data in the field PERIOD. The PI file adapter is a rather primitive tool to use.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi Jonathan,
can you try using the paramter ignoreRecordsetName = TRUE. refer the below sap help
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
ignoreRecordsetName
A
<Recordset> element is inserted in the XML structure for each recordset
structure. This level is not always required, particularly if the recordset only
contains one structure definition.
If you set the
parameter to true, the <Recordset> element is not
inserted.

Harish

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>
      <F1>IF1</F1>
      <F2>IF2</F2>
   <Item>
   <Trailer>
      <F1>TF1</F1>
      <F2>TF2</F2>
   </Trailer>
</ns0:MT_ContentConversion_Test>

Two Files merging using File adapter in Bpel 2.0

Hi All,
I have two different files (File 1 and 2) of same format(Two columns each) , now i want to merge these two files using their data and form a consolidated file (File 3 with four columns).
Please advise on how to make it possible using file adapter.
Example:
File 1 Format: A1 and A2 - are two columns of number and sring type
File 2 Format : B1 and B2 - are two columns of number and string type
Consolidated File 3 Format : A1 B1 A2 B2 - forming a single row if A1=B1 and also populating A2 and B2.
Thanks
Karthick.

Hi Karthick,
I would say read both files completely. Then create a transform and select both messages as an input creating one output. With XSLT it should not be too hard to combine the two inputs. You could loop on one file and then select each row from the other file. That output can be written to file.
I don't know what triggers the process, but you could either let bpel be triggered by the polling on one file and read the other synchronously. Or read both files synchronously.

Martien

Duplicate namespace declarations when writing a file with JCA file adapter

I am using JCA File adapter to write a an XML file. The composite contains a mediator which received and transforms an XML to desired format and then calls a JCA file adapter to write the file.
The problem that I am having is that the written file has declaration of namespaces repeated with repeating elements instead of a single declaration at root. For ex.
instead of
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="namespace0" xmlns:ns1="namespace1" xmlns:ns2="namespace2">
<ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns1:Element1>value1</ns1:Element1>
<ns2:Element2>value2</ns2:Element2>
</ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns1:Element1>value3</ns1:Element1>
<ns2:Element2>value4</ns2:Element2>
</ns0:RepeatingChild>
</ns0:Root>What I see in the file is:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="namespace0" xmlns:ns1="namespace1" xmlns:ns2="namespace2">
<ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns1:Element1 xmlns:ns1="namespace1" xmlns:"namespace1">value1</ns1:Element1>
<ns2:Element2 xmlns:ns2="namespace2" xmlns:"namespace2">>value2</ns2:Element2>
</ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns0:RepeatingChild>
<ns1:Element1 xmlns:ns1="namespace1" xmlns:"namespace1">>value3</ns1:Element1>
<ns2:Element2 xmlns:ns2="namespace2" xmlns:"namespace2">>value4</ns2:Element2>
</ns0:RepeatingChild>
</ns0:Root>So basically all the elements which are in different namespace than root element have a namespace declaration repeated even though the namespace identifier is declared at the root elment level.
Although, the XML is still valid, but this is unnecessarily increasing the filesizes 3-4 times. Is there a way I can write the XML file without duplicate declarations of namespaces?
I am using SOA Suite 11.1.1.4
The file adapter has the schema set as above XML.
I tried the transformation in mediator using XSL and also tried using assign [source(input to mediator) and target(output of mediator, input of file adapter) XMLs are exactly same].
but no success.

I used automapper of JDeveloper to generate the schema. The source and target schema are exactly same.
I was trying to figure it out and I observed that if the namespaces in question are listed in exclude-result-prefixes list in xsl, then while testing the XSL in jDeveloper duplicate namespaces occur in the target and if I remove the namespace identifiers from the exclude-result-prefixes list then in jDeveloper testing the target correctly has only a single namespace declaration at the root node.
But, when I deployed the same to server and tested there, again the same problem.

SDK 4.0.0.5: CM.jar Is Not Copied BUG-cm_jars_structure.xml.example Missing

Could someone please help me out. I am trying to fix this bug with:
SDK 4.0.0.5: CM.jar Is Not Copied into the Package To Be Deployed [ID 1315169.1]
And according to Oracle support I need to:
Solution
In SDK version 4.0.0, the cm.jar gets copied only in etc/lib folder. In the target environment it gets distributed by executing initialSetup.sh, which is part of the CM installation.
The structures/cm_jar_structure.xml should be created for the cm.jar distribution. You can see an example of the structure under the pkg scripts folder: etc/cm_jars_structure.xml.example (it just needs to be copied to structures/cm_jar_structure.xml). The cm.jar will then be copied to the correct locations in the application.
But I am missing the file cm_jars_structure.xml.example.

File-Adapter: Variable substitution form payload XML-attribute

Hi experts,
is possible to use XML-attribute-content for variable substitution in file-Adapter?
extract from XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <all>
- <transaction <b>file="filename"</b>>
- <table name="BPAADDRESS" options="insertIfUpdateFails">
- <record id="1">
<hkeycol name="BPAMAINHKEY">0010500345</hkeycol>
<hkeycol name="USAGE">Invoice</hkeycol>
</transaction>
I want to get the value "filename" = attribute file of transaction.
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,
Florian

I have done this taking a field from the XML.
You have to map the location of the field within the XML...
Taken from:

Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace,
message_id (message ID with hyphens, for example 9fbe1ff1-9a0d-11d9-8665-cbf10a126331)
message_id_hex (message ID in hexadecimal format, for example 9fbe1ff19a0d11d98665cbf10a126331)
For example, if you want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, enter message:interface_name as the reference.
If one of the message attributes contains characters that are not permitted in a file name, for example \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, then these characters are replaced by an underscore ("_").
○       If the variable refers to an element in XML schema, add the prefix payload: to the information under Reference. The reference then comprises a pseudo path description in the form of a comma-separated list with the schema namea,na,nameb,nb,....
namea,nameb,... corresponds to the element name and na,nb,... corresponds to the occurrence of the element name at the respective level in the document.
The description begins at the root of the document and ends at the respective element.
To reference the element that is in bold in the example, the following expression is used: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
The parser searches for the first occurrence of the root element at the first level. It then searches for the first occurrence of e1 at the second level and for the second occurrence of e2 at the third level. The content of the last element (Example Value) is set as the value for a specified variable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<root>
<dummy>
     <e1>
        <e2>Data_1</e2>

        <e2>Data_2</e2>
     </e1>
</dummy>
<e1>

     <f/>
     <g attr="abc">text</g>
     <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
</e1>
</root>
●      To disable the check the adapter performs for the element data, set the Disable Security Checks indicator.
Otherwise, the adapter checks whether the element data contains characters that could lead to security risks in the file system environment. The check includes the characters /, \, and ...
