File Content Conversion - documentation, especially for all parameters?

Hi,
Can anyone point me to do for the File Content Conversion documentation?  especailyl for all the parapters for record set structures?  I've found some articles, posts here and there, but nothing that just lists them all.
I'm try to parse a flatfile thats simply looks like this:
abc
d
e
Into a single recordset with 3 structures..
the first struct has 3 fields, 1 char each
then 2nd structure has 1 field
then the 3rd structure has 1 field
however, no matter what I try, the engine always seems to try to parse the 2nd line as the first structure type.. thus complaining line 2 can't be converted to the first strucuture format...

Here are couple of weblogs

  • File content conversion - sender adapter for Header and detail records

    Hi Experts,
                     I am receiving a field of fixed length content format.(Header)The first line of the file will follow the structure X having some fields and (DetailRecord)subsequent lines in the file will follow structure Y having somes fields.There is no record identifier for Header and Detail records.In one file first line is Header records and remaining subsequent line is DetailRecord.What are the parameters we have to set for sender file content conversion parameters as i donot have any key field and key field value.And in one file we have only one header records ( first line) and n number of detail records from 2nd line onwards.
    Thanks

    Hi Amit,
    You can try using this approach.
    You can create two data types.
    The input data type is of the input file format.
    The output data type can have all the five tags (Name1, Age1, Name, City and age) under one header tag(data1), instead of two tags(Data1, data) in the input file.
    Then in the receiver channel u can define the reordesetStructure -->
    recordset,data1,FileNameNode
    This will produce the output data in one line.

    Hi all,

    First you create the conversion rules, then you create the XML structure accordingly, not the other way.

    What is File Content Conversion?
    File content conversion is used for converting flat files (fixed lenght, comma seperated) into XML messages for further processing by an integration engine. The internal XI processing (mapping, routing etc) is based on XML messages hence you need messages to be converted to XML.
    SAP By default understands xml data structure. If your file is coming in an xml format you can process it as it is.
    In case of file that is coming with a delimiter then you need to have File content conversion for SAP adpater to conver file into an XML structure which will then go to next step of Message Mapping.
    Is knowledge of any programming language required?
    No
    What is its function?

  • Required help for Identifying diff. items in file content conversion.

    Hi All,
    I've to use a file content conversion parameters for a .txt file in which there are two objects. One is a header and the other is a item detail.
    How do we get or mark the difference between both so that XI recognizes the particular line is a Header and the other is a Item detail
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Sree.

    Hi
    Make use of a field which is common to header and item line which will always hold different values for header and item. Or otherwise if possible, add an extra field in the header and item lines, say 'Key' and use it in the 'Key Field Name' parameter in the adapter configuration. See this for details - [File Content Conversion for Complex Structures|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/20/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-complex-structures/].

  • Key field values for file content conversion at sender communicationchannel

    Hi all,
    I am working on  scenario File to Idoc.In this scenario at the sender side we configure the file content conversion for .CSV file.
    In the flat file i am having more than one orders, XI will pick the file and creates a separate Idoc for each sales order at r/3.
    We have similar fields "Order Item Number" both header and item.
    If we got '00000' on the Header item then it should create a new idoc at the r/3 side other wise it will create line item.
    Order item number will be 00000 for header but it will differ from order item to item.
    source structure
    Order Header
    Order type
    Sold-to-code
    PO number
    Order item number
    Order date
    AdresName1
    AdresName2
    Street and House number
    Postal Code
    City
    Country Code
    Filler
    Order Item
    Order type
    Sold-to-code
    PO  number
    Order item number
    Order date
    Product code
    Order quantity
    Item text
    Filler
    Now I have some questions....
    I don't have standard filed values to give the key fileds at source structure.
    I need to create the Idoc at r/3 system for each individual record.
    Is it possible to create new idoc with out using the Key filed value?
    If it is possible then how can i proceed with fcc?
    please give me your valuable suggestions

    Hi,
    Just check the Content Conversion Parameters-  Recordset Structure.
    If you have filled in this parameter with
    Header,1,Item,1
    then change it to
    Header,1,Item,3

    Hi Srivinas,
    your file structure is as below
    01,021000021,G4886704,080919,0742,001,,,2
    02,G4886704,021000021,1,080918,0742,,2
    03,000000135073477,,010,105303839,,,015,489113155,,,045,489039455,,,072,73700
    So it's easy, you have to use KEYFIELD option, coz you have something like that :
    Line 1 : keyfield = 01 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 30 fields for Structure1)
    Line 2 : keyfield = 02 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 14 fields for Structure2)
    Line 3 : keyfield = 03 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 23 fields for Structure3)
    Thanks to the Keyfield, you define a field which is present in each line that you can used to distinguished the different structures of lines. In your case, it seems that the keyfield is the first column (01, 02, 03).
    Try to use that:
    Recorset = TOTALSET         (and don't use option "ignoreRecordsetName : true")
    Recordset structure =Structure1,1,Structure2,(star),Structure3,(start)       (the difficulty will be to find the good use of "*" and "1", but after some tests you will find the good one).
    Note: replace (start) by the character " * "
    Key field value = keyfield
    Key field type  = String (case sensitive)
    Structure1.fieldNames  = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure1
    Structure2.fieldNames  = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure2
    Structure3.fieldNames  = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure3
    and then you will have a XML like that:
    TOTALSET
    Structure1  and all its fieldN
    Structure2  and all its fieldN
    Structure2  and all its fieldN
    Structure3  and all its fieldN
    Structure3  and all its fieldN
    TOTALSET
    Structure1  and all its fieldN    because I used Structure1,1
    Structure3  and all its fieldN

  • 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:
    <i>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>
    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.
    <b>Source:</b>
    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 <b>target DT</b> 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...
    if any error post back here again.
    you can make use of this thread
    /people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible  (here there are two target DT ,but you just create one DT,remaining are similar)
    good luck.

  • Inconsistent  Data for File Content Conversion

    HI XI Friends,
    Its IDOC to File Scanario,
    File is of .txt file..
    my IDOC contains 14 segments
    some times some segements will not come with Idoc..
    first three characters represent segment numbers..
    structure of txt file
    00112345       address1  street1
    00212345       office1      street1
    00312345       homw2     city2     street2
    if that IDOC doent contain 002..then .txt file should be..
    00112345       address1  street1
    00312345       homw2     city2    street2
    all Segement in that idoc are optional..
    if I use Fixed lengh in File Content Conversion then ther would be blank row  for 002 if that IDOc doent Conatin
    00112345       address1  street1
    00312345       homw2     city2    street2
    please guide me...how to use content conversion in this case..
    regards
    Munna

    Hi ,
    Thank you very much for your response..
    .txt file is of fixed lenths with no field Seperator
    IDOC contains number segements..
    the resultant txt file if we created first 3 segements data..
    00112345 address1 street1
    00212345 office1 street1
    00312345 homw2 city2 street2
    if we create 001 segment and 003 segement the text file should be
    00112345 address1 street1
    00312345 homw2 city2 street2
    but for new row of each segment ... endseperator 'nl' after first segemnt in Content conversion parameter and 002 segement values..and again endSeperator 'nl'...
    if we are not sending 002 segement data in the IDOC ..then it will give blank
    00112345 address1 street1
    00312345 homw2 city2 street2
    my requirement is if we dont send 002 segement data then no blank row .how to check if the segement is having data or not  and also how to declare it in Content Conversion parameters of File Adapters.
    please guide me
    regards
    Munna
