File Content Conversion - Creating Mulitple structured Flat Files

Hello,
       I am trying to create a flat file using File content Conversion.For simple XML strcutures like
<Header>
</Header>
   <Item>
   </Item>
<Trailer>
</Trailer>
the file content conversion works fine. But whe the XML structure gets complicated like
<Header>
</Header>
   <Item>
      <Item_Detail>
      </Item_Detail>
   </Item>
<Trailer>
</Trailer>
or
<Header>
</Header>
   <Item>
      <Item_Detail_1>
           <Item_Detail_2>
           </Item_Detail_2>
      </Item_Detail_1>
   </Item>
<Trailer>
</Trailer>
I am not able to create the correct flat file with the Item_Detail information.How can I do the same ?

Sandeep

File Content Conversion for complex structure

Hi
I have a requirement to repeat a structure consisting of three lines i.e the segment containing these 3 lines will have occurrence 0....unbounded and will be repeated in the File multiple times ,
What is the level that can be handled in File Content Conversion's recordset structure ?
My issue is that the structure is
Dt_File -> Repeating Level1->Level2 ->Field1
                                            ->Level2a->Field3
                                            -> Level2b->Field5
where the first level is DT_File
under which I have RepeatingLevel1 as a SubElement
and under Repeating level I have Level2 , Level2a and Level2b at its subelementsl
and under Level2 I have Field1 , Under Level2a i have Field3 and under Levle 2b i have Field5
How do i handle this in the Content Conversion ?? as in how do I create my Recordset Structure ?? as it just handles one level below the Document Name (i,e) Message Type)
Is it possible ??? or should i consider some other way to constuct my data type ??
Thanks

Hi Tarang
My DT according to the target file structure is this :
DT_File
>Main1(1,1)
>Main2(1,1)
>Main3(0...unbounded)
>Record1(1,1)
>Field1
>Field2
>Field3
>Record2(1,1)
>Field4
>Field5
>Record3(1,1)
>Field6
>Field7
SO I want to confirm if the receiver FCC will be   -     Main1,Main2,Main3,Record1,Record2,Record3
Record1.fieldSeparator ,
Record1.endSeparator     'nl'
Record2.fieldSeparator ,
Record2.endSeparator     'nl'
Record3.fieldSeparator ,
Record3.endSeparator     'nl'
or                                                                   Main1,Main2,Record1,Record2,Record3

When I am trying with first structure it is working fine, where as 2 structures it is not.
in the adopter monitoring it show it pics the file from Legacy(file adopter display green), where as SXMB_MONI it is not showing any thing.
can any body help on this do I need to maintain any other parameters for file content conversion.
Thanks

HI,
I can see that.
The number of characters in the file for TABLE2 is lesser then the number of field size given.
for eg. if the table2 fixed field length sum is 20 ,your file contains only 10 characters. Please give complete data for table2
Test file
100WELCOME 0430000960603201321
<b>2000000000040008000803</b>
Table2.fieldFixedLengths: 1,10,10,10,3,3,4,1,38

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.

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 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 <b>%store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml</b> , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,<b>we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content</b> . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these <b>DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut</b> , 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

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

PR ,
You would be needing these ones.. :
NameA.fieldNames
NameA.fieldSeparator.
NameA.endSeparator
NameA.fieldFixedLengths (this one not sure though....depends upon ur req,..)

File content Conversion Issuse for a Sender File Adapter

Hi All ,
             I am working for a Migration project , so my File structure will be as follows
<HEADER>
      <DATA1>
     <DATA2>
     <DATA3>
   <HEADER>
<ITEM>
     <ITEM1>
     <ITEM2>
     <ITEM3>
<ITEM>
WHERE i do have flat file will be as follows
10001,20081902,US
10,soda,1
30,soda,4
40,soda,5
10002,20081902,US
10,steel,1
30,steel,4
40,steel,5
how to pick this file using FCC from sendere flat file adapter without keyfields , and i can use fixed length also

Sridhar,
You can use a work around like this. Create a generic Data Type something like below.
<Message Type>
   <Recordset> - root node
      <ROW> - element with occurence 0..unbounded
Now create an outbound MI with the above MT, in FCC in sender file adapter, give Recordset structure as ROW, *
This way , you will read the entire file inside XI as an XML like below
<ROW> header record </ROW>
<ROW> item record 1 </ROW>
<ROW> item record 2 </ROW>
<ROW>....</ROW>
In XI , since your header row & item rows are fixed length, now, you can use that in a UDF in your message mapping , or parse the xml using DOM parser in Java mapping, you should be good. Hope this helps.

File Content conversion for Fiexed length output file

Hi,
I am Working on Idoc to File scenario.
I would like to know the content conversion partmenrts for the follwoing structure.
Structrure is as below:
Message Type
Header Record 1..unbounded
.    Field1   0...1
.    Field2   0...1
.    Field3   0...1
..    Detaillines   0...unbounded
...       Field3 0..1
...       Field4 0..1
..    Detaillines2   0..unbounded
...       Field6   0...1
...       Field7   0...1
Can you please advise.
Regards,
Manoj Kumar

Hi Manoj
Give the FCC parameter as
RecordSet Structure = Header,,Detaillnes,,Detaillines2,*
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Header.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Header.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Header.keyFieldValue = Header
Detaillnes.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillnes.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillnes.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillnes.keyFieldValue = Detaillnes
Detaillines2.endSeparator = 'nl'
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengths = field length
Detaillines2.fieldFixedLengthType = char/byte
Detaillines2.fieldNames = field1,field2,field3,.....
Detaillines2.keyFieldValue = Detaillines2
The keyFieldValue should be the Value which identifies your record either as Header/Detaillines/Detaillnes2.

File content conversion scenario-empty file

Hi all,
I am doing file content conversion for my sender flat file. And I want to generate XML file in my receiver location.When I check with test tab in my message map in IR , no structure gets generated in RESULT.Overalls cenario is working fine and message is processed successfully but empty file is getting generated in target directory.When I check the payload in message content in RWB communication channel monitoring,it's picking data correctly from the file.I am not getting what might have gone wrong with my message mapping in IR. It's not showing any syntax error.Even it's not generating target message structure in Results window of test Messsage mapping.Could you suggest what mistake might be there in message mapping.

Hi all,
I am getting this message in message monitor(SXMB_MONI).
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException
thrown during application mapping
com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_Flat_content_conv_:
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
I am able to see the output structure in test window of message mapping in IR and communication channel monitoring is also showing successful message.
fcc parameters used are:
Header.fieldNames KEY,EMPID,NAME,COMPANY,PHONE
Header.fieldFixedLengths 1,4,20,15,12
Header.processConfiguration FromConfiguratiion
Header.keyFieldValue H
Detail.fieldNames KEY,COMPANY,LOCATION
Detail.fieldFixedLengths 1,15,10
Detail.processConfiguration FromConfiguratiion
Detail.keyFieldValue D
Please suggest the mistake in mapping

File content conversion for file with hierarchical structure

Hi
I want to read a flat file in the following message structure using file content conversion.
Message structure is :
01 ( occurence = 1)
_ 1B (occurence = unbounded)
_ 1G (occurence = unbounded)
_1H (occurence = 1)
_1N ( occurence = unbounded)
99 (occurence = 1, trailer record)
In short there will be one 01 ( header record) in file. There will multiple 1B records. Under one 1B record there will multiple 1G records. Under each 1G record there will be one 1H recoprd and multiple 1N record. At the end there will one 99 record.
File format : Fixed length
Data in the text file would be as follows :
01Test
1BF0001MS005 4855390859
1GF000172075F31501 GBPINV 040806
1HF000172075F
1NF000172075F0011MS0051125002FOOUKSTFOOD
1NF000172075F0021MS0056540003ICOMSIEARCA
1BF0111TT005 3454390859
1GF011172075F31501 INRINV 040806
1HF011172075F
1NF011172075F0011MS0051125002FOOUKSTFOOD
1NF011172075F0021MS0056540003ICOMSIEARCA
99002187004855390859
Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks
Varun

you cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

Create IDoc from flat file - How to do the message mapping

Hi everybody,
I want to create an IDoc from a flat file.
The file structure looks like this:
MT_XYZ
- Node001       0...1
- Leaf001
- Node002       0...unbounded
   - Node003    0...1
      - Leaf002
      - Leaf003
   - Node004    0...1
      - Leaf004
   - Node005    0...1
      - Leaf005
I have created a mapping and all the other stuff to set up the IDoc adapter.
Now when I try to test the interface the IDoc is created properly but obviously no information from the nodes "Node003" to "Node005" is inserted in the IDoc. Only the information kept in the elements (leafs) of "Node001" are inserted.
All IDoc segments and their "Segment" elements are linked to the root node of the file structure "MT_XYZ". I tried to link some IDoc segments only to "Node002" but then this segment is not created.
So how can I set up the message mapping in a way that the information from "Node003" to "Node005" is transported to the IDoc? Can anyone help me here?
Thanks in advance for all answers!
Regards,
Torben

Hi Torben,
>>I want to create an IDoc from a flat file.
So you are using File content Conversion on the sender side. Right?
>>no information from the nodes "Node003" to "Node005" is inserted in the IDoc.
Are these information available in the source XML (you can check in transaction SXMB_MONI-> Input Payload).. There is a limitation in File Content Conversion of File adapter and it is that I can make an XML structure of 3 level.. Since these nodes details are in level 4 and 5 they should be missing in Source XML structure itself (after content conversion of File adapter). check that
>>So how can I set up the message mapping in a way that the information from "Node003" to "Node005" is transported to the IDoc? Can anyone help me here?
So you need to take an alternate approach where you do File Content Conversion and make 3 level structure.. then using a mapping convert this three level structure to your 5 level one and then try to map with the idoc.
