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
Dev

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
Thanks

How to use content conversion for Complex structure

Hi All,
I want to know how to use content conversion for the following complex structure:
Data
...Details            1 to Unbound
.....Header           1 to 1
.......HF1
.......HF2
.......HF3
.......ITEM           1 to unbound
.........ITF1
.........ITF2
all are of type string.
Thanks & Regards,
Viswanath

Hi,
In the content conversion,
give ur
1.document name as message type
2.give ur recordstructure as Details,,Header,1,ITEM,
3.mention ur keyfield.
conversion parameter
Header.fieldFixedLength - give the field lengths
Header.fieldNames=mention all the field name
Header.keyField=enter the value of keyfield
Header.endSeparator='nl'
repeat the same for Item

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

Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks

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!!!

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 ?

File Content Conversion for Unequal Number of Columns

Hi,
Iam following this thread FCC for Unequal Number of Columns.
/people/jeyakumar.muthu2/blog/2005/11/29/file-content-conversion-for-unequal-number-of-columns
when iam doing ,iam getting an error
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'TOTALSET.fieldFixedLengths' or 'TOTALSET.fieldSeparator' is missing Consistency check: no. of arguments in 'TOTALSET.fieldFixedLength' does not match 'TOTALSET.fieldNames' (0 <> 1)
My conversion parameters are

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

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...

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.

File Content Conversion for Multi Hierarchical Structure for Sender Adapter

Hi Gurus,
My text file is coming as
Header,filed1,field2(Occurrence=1)
Content,field3,field4(Occurrence =1-Unbounded)
Detail,field4,field5(Occurrence = 1-unbounded)
Trailer,fieldN(Occurrence=1)
My requirement is to write a file content conversion, so that, in the resultant XML Structure the Detail will come under Content.
I have defined the Record Set Structure as
Header,1,Content,*,Detail,*,Trailer,1
But after FCC, the Detailed record is coming in the same level as the Content Record. But the business requires that, the Detailed Record should come under Content Record, so that they can correlate.
Could any one advise?
Regards,
SS

Hi,
Please use the below parameters -
○       NameA.keyFieldValue
Specify the value of the key field for the structure.
This entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry is ignored.
NameA.keyFieldInStructure
■       If the key field of the substructure is to be added to the XML document, enter add. This is the default.
■       If the key field is to be ignored, enter ignore.

File Content Conversion for ignoring the entire line

Hi,
   I'm getting a CSV file from that i want to skip some records based on some validation.. for example:
I'm getting the following data :
EmpNo                   EmpName                   EmpDept
E101                       ABC                               ABAP
E102                       XYZ                                BW
E103                       GFC                               XI
E104                       BVM                               ABAP
E105                       ASD                               BW
E106                       YFC                                XI
SO, here where ever i'm getting EmpDept = XI .. i want to skip those all the records( that entire line i want to skip).. .. this can be possible through Message Mapping.. but i wnat to do this in the File Content Conversion.. how can we do this..
any helpful answers   will appriciated..
Thanks
babu

Hi,
FCC is used to generate the XML structure so that XI can understood properly. You can not do any kind of validations or Skip the records based on Element value condition in FCC.
There are scenarios where you want to skip the lines that time you can use the below option in FCC but this is again not based on condition.
Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.
The best way to do is use the UDF:
Write an UDF on target root node.
take input in one context:
input a= Emp Dept:
for(i=o,i<a.length;i++)
if(a{i}.equals("X"))
   result.addValue(SUPPRESS); this will supress the target root node if condition is equal to X
else
result.addValue("Constant"); this will generate the target root node.

Legacy to XI -> XI to R/3 (App Server)
txt file and fixed length.
<b>Test file</b>

Recordsetstructure : Table1,1,Table2,*
Recordsetsequence: Ascending
RecordsetperMessage: *
Keyfieldname          : KF
Kefieldtype          : String(Case-Sensitive)
Table1.keyFieldValue     :'1'
Table1.fieldFixedLengths:1,2,10,10,6,4,47
Table1.fieldNames :RecordType,PriorityCode,Destination,BankOrginNo,CreationDate,CretionTime,Spaces

ignoreRecordsetName     :true
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 for Pipe delimited file

Hi
i have a scenario ( file-xi-proxy) in whch file is coming in a pipe delimited.
my data type is like
DT_ XXXXX
AwardInfo
Header contains some fileds
DetailRecord contains some fileds
trailer contains some fields
what are content conversion parameters i have to use
venkat

Sedamkar,
Expecting you have one header, multiple details and one trailer then give recordset structure in sender file communication channel as:
Header,1,DetailRecord ,*,trailer,1
In content conversion you should give parameters:
Header.fieldSeparator : |
Header.endSeparator : 'nl'
DetailRecord.fieldSeparator : |
DetailRecord.endSeparator : 'nl'
trailer.fieldSeparator : |
trailer.endSeparator : 'nl'
You may need to change the parameters also according to your strcuture and the file layout. See this SAP help for file content conversion:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm

How to do Content Conversion for this structure?

Hi,
Urgent required. I have the following structure as below. There is a headerData, itemData and textData. The data that wll come into headerData could be more than one, and the same applies to the itemData and textData. The File adapter is not able to pick this file structure. It is a fixed length file at the receiver end. Could any one tell me how to do the File Content Conversion (FCC) for the structure without using the FCC module. Points to be awarded to best answer. Thaanks in advance.
The structure :
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>

HI,
Use the following content conversion:
I assume the data coming in the file is of below format:
Here the key field name is K for 01,02 and 03
01,aa,bb,cc
01,aa,bb,cc
02,ff,gg,hh
02,ff,gg,hh
03,hh,ff,hh
03,hh,ff,hh
If you data in the file is coming in the above way then your FCC will be
Recordse strucutre: headerData,,temData,,textData,*
Keyfield Name: K
headerData.fieldNames: a,b,c
headerData.fieldSeparator: ,
headerData.endSeparator: 'nl'
headerData.keyFieldValue: 01
Similarly for itemData and text Data
Refer the below weblog for the same:

Reg:File content conversion for Sender File Adaptor

Hi all,
            i would like to know , how the file content conversion is written for the below mentioned XML code. The flat file will have only the table name and the fieldname
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Mt_File xmlns:ns0="http:/file_to_idoc">
   <query_table>ztable1</query_table>
   <row_count/>
   <Fields>
      <item>
         <fieldname>zempno</fieldname>
      </item>
   </Fields>
</ns0:Mt_File>
regards
priya

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

Problem with file content conversion for multiple substrcture. Please help!

Hi Experts,
   I am using file content conversion in file sender communication channel. The input file is a flat file with data like this:
   A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900
   I want the data in sender side after content conversion to be like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
     <ScheduleData>
          <line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
          <line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
          <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
     </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
I have tried many options in file content conversion but getting the data like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
     <ScheduleData>
          <line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
     </ScheduleData>
       <ScheduleData>
          <line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
       </ScheduleData>
       <ScheduleData>
          <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA      20090704     84900</line>
       </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
Following are the settings/properties have configured in content conversion:
Document Name     Receive_Schedules
Document namespace     http://mynamespace
Document Offset     <no value>
Recordset Name     <no value>
Recordset namespace     <no value>
Recordset structure     ScheduleData,*
Recordset sequence     Ascending
Recordsets per message     1
Key field Name     <no value>
Key Field Type     String
ignoreRecordsetName     true
ScheduleData.endSeparator     'nl'
ScheduleData.fieldNames              line
ScheduleData.fieldSeparator     'nl'
How to get the desired message? What changes I need to do in content conversion settings? Please help!
thanks

Hi Ranjan,
My structure is like what you ahve defined.
scheduledata...1.1
...line....0...Unbound
I also tried the parameters you gave but still getting the same.
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
<ScheduleData>
<line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
</ScheduleData>
<ScheduleData>
<line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
</ScheduleData>
<ScheduleData>
<line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
</ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
Following are the settings/properties have configured in content conversion:
Recordset structure ScheduleData,*   -
> Is the value correct?
Recordset sequence Ascending -
> Is the value correct?
Recordsets per message 1 -
> Is the value correct?
ignoreRecordsetName true
ScheduleData.fieldSeparator nl
ScheduleData.fieldNames line
ScheduleData.endSeparator nl

   f1
footer       1...1
   f1          1
Please correct me if my message type declaration was wrong...
Please suggest how do i need to approach for message mapping and as well as FCC in File adapter...
Edited by: Vidyadhar Kurmala on Dec 2, 2010 10:28 AM

It is not possible to create alternating nodes in graphical mapping tool.
I recommend using the MessageTransformBean for FCC, as this supports a 2-level hierarchy.
Then you add a node record like this:
<MT_Invoice>
<Record>
<File Header> 1...1
<f1> customer invoices </f1>
<f2> 12/02/2010 </f2>
</File Header>
</Record>
<Record>
<Invocie header>
<f1> Invoice number1 </f1>
<f2> customer number1 </f2>
</Invoice header>
<Invoice text>
<f1> Inovice no1-text1 </f1>
</Invoice text>
<Invoice text>
<f1> Inovice no1-text2 </f1>
</Invoice text>
</Record>
<Record>
<Invocie header>
<f1> Invoice number2 </f1>
<f2> customer number2 </f2>
</Invoice header>
<Invoice text>
<f1> Inovice no2-text1 </f1>
</Invoice text>
<Invoice text>
<f1> Inovice no2-text2 </f1>
</Invoice text>
<Invocie header>
<f1> Invoice number3 </f1>
<f2> customer number3 </f2>
</Invoice header>
<Invoice text>
<f1> Inovice no3-text1 </f1>
</Invoice text>
</Record>
<Record>
<Footer> 1..1
<f1> have a great day </f1>
</footer>
</Record>
</MT_Invoice>
