File Content Conversion for Sender Channel

Hi Experts,
      We are using SAP - PI 7.11 system. We have a scenario where we wld be getting 7-8 records and the record structure repeats n no.of times in a flat-file and while converting the Flat -File data into XML data we are facing an issue , explained below with an example :
HEADER :  KeyField , f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8
RECORD1 : f1, f2, KeyField , f3, f4, f5, f6, f7 , f8
RECORD2 : f1, f2, f3, f4, KeyField, f5, f6, f7, f8
TRAILER : keyField, f1, f2, f3, f4,f5, f6, f7, f8.
  Its a fixed length flat - flie. Now the problem is : we have KeyField Value for RECORD1 as '0' and when the f3 of TRAILER is '0' the record is getting formed as RECORD1 instead TRAILER even i get proper keyField value for TRAILER RECORD. Could you please tell me why its happenning so ? And please provide the solution for this. I have used all the parameters like : fieldNames, fieldfixedLengths, keyFieldValue, endSeparator and ignoreRecordsetname and lastFieldOptional and fromConfiguration.
But still i am not able to get the proper XML out of this flat - file. Could you please suggest any solution for this asap.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Lakshman

Most of the configuration seems fine,
Just validate your configuration against below configuration, which is working fine for me,
Recordset Structure : HEADER, 1, RECORD1, ,RECORD2,,TRAILER,1
Recordset Sequence : Ascending
Recordsets per message : *
Key Field Name : recid
Key Field type : string
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths     *********************
HEADER.endSeparator     'nl'
HEADER.fieldNames     ************************
HEADER.keyFieldValue     01
HEADER.keyFieldlnStructure     add
HEADER.lastFieldsOptional     YES

  • 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.

  • 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
    Best Regards,

    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

  • File content conversion in Sender Adapater for multiple occurances

    Hi ,
    I am mapping from flat file to idoc .
    My flat file is a tab demilited
    Since the idoc would have structure
    like header , lineitem , schedule
    in my flat file conversion
    i am giving recordset structure
    as header,1,lineitem ,,schedule,
    since lineitem would be repeated many times
    Bt if  i give * i need to give a keyfieldname
    which would mean that keyfieldname has to appaer in header and schedule .
    since in my case my Column values in header , lineitem and schedule are different
    how can i do the file conversion in this case
    i can doing something like this
    header.keyFieldValue ""
    schedule.keyFieldValue ""
    header.keyFieldInStructure ignore
    schedule.keyFieldInStructure ignore
    i am not even sure if thats the correct way
    Thanks

    Hi !!
    The best way to debug would be to add TRACE statements in your mappigs. In both Graphical and java Mapping.
    Trace out the entire output of java mapping and see if this is the input that the next mapping expects.
    For trace , http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/98e7d5c1620642973565ea3dd319d1/content.htm

    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 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

    Thanks in Advance

    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

  • 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 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:

  • Supress Column Heading - File Content Conversion in Sender Adapter

    Hi,
    Let me give a more clear picture about my scenario.  I need to convert CSV File to XML output:-
    My source file has column heading and values.  The sample data is mentioned hereunder:-
    PERNR;KID;PNALT;NACHN;NAME2;VORNA
    ;1200;1200;Angus
    I have created a data type as under:-
    DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
         Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
              Header (Category - Element, Occurence - 0...1)
                   PERNR_H
                   KID_H
                   PNALT_H
                   NACHN_H
                   NAME2_H
                   VORNA_H
              Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
                   PERNR
                   KID
                   PNALT
                   NACHN
                   NAME2
                   VORNA
    The file conversion parameters in the file sender adapter are mentioned hereunder:-
    Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
    Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
    Recordset Name - Employees
    Rescordset Structure - Header,1,Employee,*
    Recordsets per Message - 1
    Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
    Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
    Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
    Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
    I dont' have a key field value.  How do we remove the header and show only the values in the xml output.  I have searched the forum topics as well checked many blogs related to file content conversion, but nothing helped.  Kindly advice how to fix this issue.  Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Change your File Adapter as below
    Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
    Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
    Recordset Name - Employees
    Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
    Recordsets per Message - 1
    Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
    Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
    Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
    Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
    There is no need for the Header required in the data type.
    DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
    Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
    Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
    PERNR
    KID
    PNALT
    NACHN
    NAME2
    VORNA
    Now the trick is in the mapping program
    Lets assume your mapping looks like
    MT_LegacyEmployee ---> MT_TargetEmployee
    - Employees ---> Records
       - Employee ---> Record
         - PERNR  ---> TargetPERNR
         - .. so on
    When you do a mapping from Employee ---> Record apply the following logic.
    (PERNR)--->
                 (TestEquals =) --->(NOT)--->
    (Constant) --->                                (IF)
    (PERNR)                       (IF Without Else) ---> (Record)
                                                   (THEN)
                                (Employee)--->
    When doing this make sure RightClick on PERNR and Select Context ---> Employees.
    By default context would be from Employee and it will give you an error of XSD format. So make sure you are changing the context.

    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>
