File content conversion : hexa decimal character value for tab

Experts,
I am working on a FCC for a tab delimited file. Can any one tell me what is the hexadecimal value of tab. I am using '0x09' but it is not recognizing this.
Can anyone help me out..
Thanks

Have a look at this bolg /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2005/08/17/nab-the-tab-file-adapter . You can try the 2nd method given in that. If that doesn't solve your issue, might be there is some other problem in the FCC configuration.

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.

Question regarding File Content Conversion

Dear SAP experts,
I need you expert advise regarding this.
I have here my sample structure,
CSV ---> this is the message type of the message
   '-- ROOT --> this is the root node
           '-- FieldA --> has a value of "Filename"
           '-- Field B
                  '-- subfield1 --> has a value of "A"
                  '-- subfield2 --> has a value of "B"
                  '-- subfied3 --> has a value of "C"
I want to output this flatfile,
subfield1;subfield2;subfield3
A;B;C
the output flatfile must have Header lines (subfield1;subfield2;subfield3)
What will be the correct parameters in my File Content Conversion, so as, the value "Filename" will not be included in the output flatfile?
Recordset Structure: ?
Kindly advise.
Thank you very much!
Fred

** 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,
Jegathees P.

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.

File Content Conversion ( avoid fields in conversion)

Hi all
 An IDoc to File scenario , I am doing file content conversion in receiver File adapter.
my message type for file 2 HEADER each having its own substructure
Like 1header
 fieldA
 2header
 fieldC
 fieldD
I want the "1header and its 1 subelement not be converted in file content conversion" 
because its used for dynamic file name configuration, so i do'nt want it to be written on file.
Regards
Ashutosh.r

Rawat,
Yes I know you will get that error. That is the reason why I have told you to add another parameter fixedLengthTooShortHandling as Cut. So add one more parameter in your file receiver communicaion channel: Also I hope ASFD0101 is your strcuture not the field in the strcuture.
ASFD0101.fixedLengthTooShortHandling : Cut
Then I think it should work like a boom.

Question on File Content Conversion

Hi all,
I went through this blog(/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/03/02/introduction-to-simplefile-xi-filescenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starterspart1) for File content conversion and I have a question regading File Content Conversion. Is it always neccessary to have the data type structure as File, Record, Row and then the fields. Is it always neccesary to maintain this level of hierarchy for File content conversion to work.

Hi Sonia,
For FCC sender or receiver if you want text with delimieter / csv file process.
use the below parameters
You would have to use the Document name ,namespace,record set name ,record strucutre name ( and occurrences also) and processing parameters in Sender side
In receiver side Record structre, processing parameters.
see below links to have more details..

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,
satya

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 Reciever Adapater for multiple element

Hi folks,
My Source file structure is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 <recordset>
 <data1>
 <name1>a</name1>

 <name>c</name>
 <city>d</city>

 </data>
 </recordset>
</ns0:file_sender_mt>
in my file reciever adapter i am uisn file content conversion and these are the parameters that i have given
reordesetStructure -->
recordset,data1,data,FileNameNode
Name value
recordset.fieldSeparator '0x09'
data1.fieldSeparator '0x09'
data.fieldSeparator '0x09'
data.endSeparator '0x09'
'0x09' is the hex vale for tab
My o/p file is coming as
a b
c d e
the desired o/p is
a b c d e
Any idea on this
Thanks
Amit

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.

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

My file structure is as below

Please help in resoving the 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 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

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 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.
Thnx

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
Edited by: Subhendu Sahu on Jun 17, 2011 4:43 PM

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 - 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

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/].
