File Content Conversion File-File scenario

Dear experts,
I have been tweaking with file to file scenario where a simple file goes in source as text delimited and comes out in target as xml.
I know ,i finally get my scenario get working with these settings :
ROOT.fieldSeparator ,
ROOT.fieldNames Store_Id,TRDT,SKU,SALE_RETURN,PRICE_OVERRIDE,PROMOTION_NUMBER,PROMO_DETAIL_ID,MIX_MATCH_NUMBER,DISCOUNT_ID,QUANTITY,EXTENDED_SELLING_PRICE,EXTENDED_ORIGINAL_PRICE,DIFFERENCE_PRICE
ROOT.fieldContentFormatting trim
ROOT.endSeparator 'nl'
ROOT.missingLastfields add
ROOT.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
ignoreRecordsetName true
Now my question is where i can find all properties that are probable in ROOT.Other thing is i kept on getting mapping related errors until i reached
at this stage of properties definition.But there was no tracking as of why i got that error.The error was :
Mapping "http://TPOCTEST_SFILE/OM_TPOCTEST" failed to execute: MappingException: Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TPOCTEST_; Details: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceException; Cannot create target element /ns0:MT_TPOCTEST_T/Record. Values missing in queue context. Target XSD requires a value for this element, but the target-field mapping does not create one. Check whether the XML instance is valid for the source XSD, and whether the target-field mapping fulfils the requirement of the target XSD
I resolved once i made settings on top but this was only a hit and trial.I dont know what actually was the reason behind this error.
I also used Test option of mapping and found things working.

Hi Aditya,
That error indicates that when you were facing problems with your FCC the system did not generate XML that worked with the mapping that you have OM_TPOCTEST. The error is showing that you have a target node named Record which I'm guessing is set to 1...unbounded but your FCC did not generate XML that would map in such a manner that 1 or more nodes named Record would be created in your target message.

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 - 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.

File Content Conversion - Key Field Value

Hi Experts,
I am using File to Idoc scenario for my mapping. In the receiver Communication channel, I am using File Content Conversion. My scenario is as follows :
I have a recordset with Header and Line items with Key Field Indicator as 'H' and 'L'. In some cases, the value for this Key Field is coming in as something other than 'H' and 'L'. I need to throw an exception when this Key Field is not 'H' or 'L'.
In the 'Content Conversion' tab, my attributes are as:
Header_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'H' and Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'L'. Is there any more attributes that I need to add ?
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Freddy.

>>multiple key field values in FCC configuration i.e Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = H or L
AFAIK it is not possible but lets wait for other experts to comment on this...
>>Can keyFieldInStructure (add, ignore) parameter help me in this case ?
No. this parameter is only used when you want to include key filed in ur XML structure(add) or not (ignore)...

File to IDOC (content conversion)

Hi,
My scenario is File to IDOC.
My input file is as
"AAA",399,"DD",20050302,100642,3289
"B01","E",20051,39.1,"AC","M","L"
"B01","L",20051,38.3,"AC","F","D"
"B01","L",20301,37.7,"AC","F","W"
"L9",50
wherein the structure should look as follows:
<root>
      <header>                  => occurence 1
            <hdata1>.....</hdata1>
            <hdatan>.....</hdatan>
            <body>               => occurance unbounded
              <data1>.....</data1>
              <datan>.....</datan>
            </body>
      </header>
      <trailer>                => occurance 1
           <data2>....</data2>
      </trailer>
</root>
Now my question is that how do we go for the content conversion in this scenario.(the problem is that header contains element data and subnode body)
Regards,
Shabz

Hi Amanda..
Thanx 4 the response.
But i have a query, since the target idoc is structured
with the heirarcy ( a header and a body inside the header, a footer ) during file conversion, if we change the structure as u said will that affect the context while the mapping takes place.
Ref: IDoc structure is
               A
_B
               C

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

DT for File Content Conversion scenario

Hi Guys,
I am working on IDOC to file scenario in which I want to know which type of DT should I go for?
DT_Type

......Filed1
......Filed2
......Field3
...Row
DT_Type
Or
DT_Type
..Details
....Row
......Filed1
......Filed2
......Field3
...Row
..Details
DT_Type
I am going for Receiver Content conversion as I need to produce Flat like, I have about 30 filed names and I am wondering is it possible not ot mention field names in Content conversion?
What is the parameter to place to get a new line after each record? I am using row.endSeparator as 'nl' I am getting some special character instead of starting a new record in next line.
Thanks

if IDOC contains one IDOC data then it has to generate one file .. If IDOC contains more than one IDOC information then it has to generate one file with multiple IDOC informaiton in it.
how this can be achieved?

File to File scenario, file content conversion

HI there,
I am facing this scenario, flat file -> XI -> flat file. Files are fixed length ones and .txt.
the structure of the incoming file is something like:
field1field2field3field4
field1field2field3field4field5
That means that there is no separation between fields (neither comma nor space) and there are optional fields that may appear or not.
My aim is to transform this file into another file, XI will do some maps with some fields but the rest will be the same (same fieldnames and same field lengths). So, the outcoming file should be similar as the incoming one:
field1field2field3field4(transformed)
field1field2field3field4field5
These are my FCC parameters (i think i have to use FCC):
Row.fieldNames= field1,field2,field3....
Row.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,4....
Row.processConfiguration=FromConfiguration
Row.endSeparator='nl'
...and my data type structure:
DT_XX
Record
     Row
       field1
       field2
Here are my questions:
I have configurated the file content conversion in sender and receiver adapter, are they both necessary or should i only configurate the sender??
How can i manage the fields that are not mandatory?
What should be the transfer mode, binary or text?
I am a new come in development so, could anyone of you please give some support??
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
David

Hi David,
I have configurated the file content conversion in sender and receiver adapter, are they both necessary or should i only configurate the sender??
YES.
Suppose you only confgure it for sender then the target file that is generated will be in XML format.
How can i manage the fields that are not mandatory?
If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure the you can set
Row.missingLastfields = ignore / add / error

What should be the transfer mode, binary or text?
If it is a txt file then text and set code page as UTF-8else binary.

Idoc to File scenario: receiver content conversion

Hi,
I have a Idoc to file scenario in which each segment is to be sent in a new line.
Also, even if the segment is not present in Idoc, comma separated blank values are to be sent.
Till now I have been fllowing this blog
File Content Conversion for Multi Hierarchical Structure
But in this case, blank values csv line are not created.
When I used mapWithDefault for parent WPA12 then only 1 instance is created.
For eg.
WPA01
-WPA02
--WPA12
WPA01
-WPA02
--WPA12
There are no values in WPA12 segment
Output
WPA01,a,a,a,a
WPA02,b,b,b,b
WPA12,,,,,
WPA01,c,c,c,c
WPA02,d,d,d,d
Can I make any change in the approach as in the blog to get the desired output?
Regards,
Anirudh.

Hi,
To explain more a bit..
My requirement is to create a flat file from multiple hierarchical xml structure.
Additionally, if the values are not present for some nodes then also I have to send the blank values in flat files. If entire segment is not present then also blank csvs needed to be sent.

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 simple scenario

Hi friends,
I am trying FCC for first time. I had created one simple file scenario without using FCC to which I had to provide input in XML format.
like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:mt_sender xmlns:ns0="http:/soni.com">
   <ponum>1</ponum>
   <poqty>2</poqty>
   <poamt>3</poamt>
</ns0:mt_sender>
Now I want to use FCC for this,in which i have to provide comma seperate data, e.g 11,12,114.4
Please let me know how to do this. I had gone through some blogs on sdn but I didnt got solution for this.
Thanks.,
Brij........

HI,
If you want the output file in comma separated pattern for the incoming xml file,then you can go for the below mentioned fcc parameters in your receiver channel.
Structure*                 Recordset,Record
Record.fieldSeparator             ,
Record.endSeparator             'nl'
Recordset.fieldSeparator        'nl'

Swetha.
