File Content Conversion Error in PI 7.1 (file to Proxy)

Hi
I am working on File to Proxy Scenario and I gave the File content conversion as below, File is picking up by the PI Server when I look at Communication Channel Monitoring, However when I open the Message ID in the CC monitoring it says as
404 Not Found
The requested resource does not exist.
and I do not see any message SXMB_MONI(Because the content is not converted), Can anyone give an idea how to debug this
Thanks

PR,
Can you check the error in sender communication channel?
Go to RWB ---> Component Monitoring ---> Adapter Engine ---> Communication cahnnel monitoring --> it displays new page. Then give your file sender communication cahnnel name. There you will definitely see some error.
The error what you are getting is a different to this one. Can you please check the error what I have given above path.

** File Content Conversion Error in Receiver CC - How to solve this?

Hi friends,
My target structure looks like below.
EmployeeJobDetails --> Message Type
 JobCode --> Node
 EmployeeNumber xsd:string
 Domain xsd:string
 JobTrack --> Node
 Department xsd: string
 Position xsd: string
I use the FCC parameters in the receiver CC as below:
Recordset Structure: JobCode,JobTrack
JobCode.fieldSeparator = |
JobCode.endSeparator = 'nl'
JobTrack.fieldSeparator = |
JobTrack.endSepartor = 'nl'.
Because, we want the output like below
1099|Raja
Accts|JuniorAccountant
1100|Ram
HR|Recruiter
like this.
In this scenario Source is XML and target is txt file.
I am using XSLT Mapping. The FCC works fine, if my source input file contains some records. But, when we send empty source XML file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EMPLOYEE_DATA/>
Mapping works fine. Message is processed successfully in SXMB_MONI. The payload in response also comes with Message Type name like below
<EmployeeJobDetails namespace >
</EmployeeJobDetails>
While convert this, the system throws below error.
Error Message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)': java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
Friend, how to convert this when source XML is empty.
But, if we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the same empty XML file FCC is working fine and we get the target text file 0 KB. (Amazing !!)
But, in the first case, how to solve the issue?
Kind Regards,

Hi friends,
If we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the same empty XML file FCC is working fine and we get the target text file 0 KB. (Amazing !!)
But, if we give parameters like JobCode,JobTrack then send pass the same empty file, we face the problem 'File Content Conversion' Error.

How to resolve this issue? I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Balaji

Balaji,
I would suggest to remove FileItem and LineItem in your receiver datatype. They are increasing the hierarchy of your content conversion. If you do that then you will have
<ns1:MT_Info_File xmlns:ns1="urn:http://freemanco.com/xi/info_list">
<TYPE>
<FileName>DD11022007</FileName>
</TYPE>
<DATA><LineEntry>234567891234567890123456789012345678901234567890</LineEntry>
<LineEntry>95473523647586969587265245437586979798376524253586</LineEntry>
<DATA>
</ns1:MT_Info_File>
Then in content converstion give this parameters:
Record structure : TYPE,FileName,DATA,LineEntry
TYPE.fieldfixedlengths : 0
FileName.fieldfixedlenghts:0
DATA.fieldfixedlenghts:0
LineEntry.fieldfixedlengths:301
LineEntry.endSeparator:'nl'
Then it should work. Also you can use FileName in your variable substituition. Also please see this weblog on how to use FileName in variable substitution:
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
If you dont want to remove FileItem and LineItem then add these also in your content conversion. Then the parameters would be:
Recordset: TYPE,FileItem,FileName,DATA,LineItem,LineEntry
TYPE.fieldfixedlengths : 0
FileItem.fieldfixedlengths:0
FileName.fieldfixedlenghts:0
DATA.fieldfixedlenghts:0
LineItem.fieldfixedlengths : 0
LineEntry.fieldfixedlengths:301
LineEntry.endSeparator:'nl'

File Content Conversion - Error in keyfield Value

Hello experts,
I am doing file content conversion for a file to file scenario. The input file is a csv file which is converted to xml using the file content conversion. The key field of input file is used for implementing conversion.
While testing the FCC, I noticed that if the keyfield value is wrong for a record in the file, the record is ignored altogether without throwing any errors or warnings. Is there any way to notify if any records have been ignored as a result of incorrect keyfield value??
Thanks in advance!
RR

There seems to be NO way to handle it in FCC.
File Content Conversion - Key Field Value
u can think of work arounds by handling it in mapping....
-santosh.

Receiver File Content Conversion - Multiple Hier. Levels, Several Files

you can create several files using single message execution.
one source message structure and target multiple messgae types(0..1) occurance
and same thing you can implement in your Interface mapping.
1 -> Multiple Inbound interfaces
your target final strcture would be with Header,lineitems.
your JDBC->XI Intermedicate.
XI Intermediate ->XI final (this final structure will create the your file)
that way you can design your scenario.
Regards,
Venu.

Hello Venu, thanks for answering,
When you talk about intermediate structure you are referring to the approach I mentioned in the link above or to something that can be done using the same scenario structure I have right now?
I am going I little bit deeper in my scenario just in case I havent been so clear in my first explanation:
Lets suppose I have 3 stores: 1001,1002,1003
For each store there are 2 items: 999,888
So XI retrieves the information from the DB thru a stored procedure. This is the output:
STORE--PLU
1001--999
1001--888
1002--999
1002--888
1003--999
1003--888
Please note the information is coming in a flat structure. In the beginning I tried to separate it into several outputs (selects) as shown below but I relaized that was not possible to be handled by XI:
STORE--PLU
query 1
1001--999
1001--888
query2
1002--999
1002--888
query
1003--999
1003--888
That would have been the best approach as I would have generated one single file for each message and thats it, but unfortunately, Xi does not work that way with MSSQL Queries. So I had to made something up based on the answers I got from the SDN experts (Link is below in first message). There was when I used context handling for generating the structures myself within one single message.
In the scenario shown above I would have just needed to generate the following structure for creating messages from the source:
Level1: Main Node
Level 2: Header
Level 2: Body
But now, As I am forced to generate my 3 structures within 1 single message, I had to insert one more node to wrap header and body in per iteration (as a file would do):
Level1: Main Node
Level2: File
Level3: Header
Level3: Body
And that is the problem I am asking help for, that allegedly, XI File Content conversion can just handle up to 2 levels.
Thanks again for answering Venu.
Regards.

What could be the possible reason for this error? It is urgent and poits to be rewarded. Thanks in advance.
My structure is like the one below :

File Content Conversion : Recordset Structure with * not reading file

Hallo all,
we have the following problem.
we implemented a scenario as sown in this blog
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/06/08/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-various-field-lengths-and-variable-substructures-to-xi-30
but there is a problem.
If the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
then the adapter does not even read the file from the directory (so I assume that for some reason the file structure is not as expected).
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works.
Obviously though, this is not satisfying since we need variable cardinalities.
Here is an example :
I have a specific file in a standard directory, called xi_input.
The file is edited straight into that directory, so there can't be filename errors etc.
If the file is left empty :
Nothing happens . No message of any kind in sxmb_moni/monitoring xml messages .
If the file contains the following (data is random) , where 'H' is the key for the header and 'I' is the key for the items :
H 20060403 16 3 316001 kapou lalla morellala 20060403 F3 23
I 277101010 2
I 277101011 3
I 277101012 4
There are to cases :
if the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
Then nothing happens .
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works .
Any suggestions and help is appreciated
Thank you .

Actually yes, there is an error message :
Error     5/30/08 3:12:45 PM     fda9d3c5-4775-4df8-17b8-dfd14191171d

File Content Conversion-Error in receiver channel

hi gurus,
In moni its displaying success message but in adater monitoring, Reciver channel error displayed as
Parameter 'Record.fieldFixedLengths' or 'Record.fieldSeparator' is missing
can any one help me with this.
regards,
kiran.

Hi,
NameA.fieldSeparator
If you specify a character string here, it is added as a separator to all columns except the last. You can also specify this string in addition to NameA.fieldFixedLengths.
If you made no specification for NameA.fieldFixedLengths, this is the only specification to identify the individual columns in a row.
If you made a specification for NameA.fieldFixedLengths, the length of the separator is not taken into account.
You must specify at least either NameA.fieldFixedLengths or NameA.fieldSeparator.
If you have only specified NameA.fieldSeparator, the structures of the XML document can have differing numbers of elements that are added to each other separately in the text file by the value from NameA.fieldSeparator. If you specify NameA.fieldFixedLengths this is not possible since the number of columns is defined when the column widths are given.
NameA.endSeparator
If you enter a character string here, the system adds it to the last column as a closing character. You can also make this specification in addition to NameA.fieldFixedLengths. To include a line break following the closing character, you must explicitly define it by attaching ´nl´ (including the quotation marks) to the string.
The default value is a line break (no explicit separator after the last column; instead the structures are arranged line-by-line).

File Content Conversion Problem of not generating empty file

Hi All,
i have 3 input text files for my BPM to process.
if any of the text file is empty, i need to generate an alert message that the file is empty........but the problem is file adapter does not generate a XML message for the empty text file..........
Can anybody suggest how to generate the alert if any of the 3 text files is empty.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Rajeev~
I dont find ur mail Id in ur Business card.Post the same..I will send you across a PDF with steps to write a adapter module.You would need to extend the same to check the payload for empty data and accordingly create a XML payload with checkpointer.
For validating this value in a BPM use the FORK step and check the payload in the condition editor.
Refer to this url for the same.

Problem with File Content Conversion

Hi All
I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
This is my sample file structure:
Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
Field1 in Header
Field2 in Header
Item(Occ-1 to n)
Field3 in Item
Field4 in Item
<<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
<<Field5>> in ItemType
<<Field6>> in ItemType
<<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
<<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
<<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
Field9
Field10
There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
KeyField Name: Type
Following are parameters defiled:
Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
item.fieldseperator: ,
item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
item.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
itemType.fieldseperator: ,
itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,
itemTypecategory.fieldfieldnames: field7,field8
itemTypecategory.endseperator: 'nl'
Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
Footer.fieldseperator: ,
Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
Now, i pass the following file:
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):
00,111
05,222
<<10,333>>
<<<<15,444>>>>
20,555
But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
Sorry for this long question.
Many Thanks
Chandra

You will always get a flat structure from FCC. If you want hierarchichal strucuture, you have to create a target and map. You will get only like -
Root
--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2
Fields
Group3

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.
Thanks

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?
