File Content Conversion i.e Flat file 2 Flat file

Hi guys,
I am new 2 SAP XI
and i am trying 2 do "Flat File To Flat File".
Input File contains following data:
Name:varun
Surname:rajaraman
Address:B-2
Employee no:8204
i.e Each Data is in separate Row.
Output File Should contain the following data:
I am varun rajaraman staying at B-2 bearing employee no. 8204.
(name,surname) (address) (Employee No.)
i.e data should be in a single row.
So, i have a problem of reading the data from input file i.e data from each row and transfering it into output file along with which i need 2 insert "i am " ,"staying at", etc.
pls tell me the procedure in detail.
Thanks and regards
santhosh rajaraman

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.

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 : 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 :

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..........
<b>Can anybody suggest how to generate the alert if any of the 3 text files is empty.</b>
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 -

--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2

Group3

Hi Sreedhar,

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?

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

J2SE XML to Flat File Content Conversion

Hi
I've currently got a scenario which sends a flat file to the integration server, it gets mapped and sent to a receiver adapter on a deployed j2se engine.
I'm now trying to convert the xi-xml structured file to a flat file again on the j2se side (the same flat file format it originally had).
My original flat file looks like this -
477
477=AA1
My xml file looks like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I am using these content conversion parameters:
xml.addHeaderLine=0
xml.fieldSeparator==
xml.endSeparator='nl'
I get this error on the integration engine (sxmb_moni):
Error while sending by HTTP (error code: 500, error text: Internal Server Error:java.lang.NullPointerException) (See attachment HTMLError for details)
and the j2se adpater log says this:
17:16:32 (4120): Message "13b9d644-54c9-4ffb-0c40-db4c14458d77" of type "application/xml", kind "B" received
17:16:32 (4124): Parsing XML message
17:16:32 (4131): ERROR: Message processing failed with "java.lang.NullPointerException"
What am i missing?

So, now... I did a test configuration in XI and sent your test-payload...it worked.
The J2SE adapter configuration:
File adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleXMB2File
version=30
mode=XMB2FILEWITHCONVERSION
#Adress for XMB endpoint -
XI.httpPort=8111
XI.httpService=/file/receiver
#File Adapter specific parameters -
file.createDir=1
file.targetDir=c:/transfer/inbound
file.targetFilename=xmboutput.txt
#file.writeMode=append
#file.writeMode=overwrite
file.writeMode=addCounter
file.counterMode=immediately
#file.counterMode=afterFirst
file.counterSeparator=_
file.counterFormat=00000
file.counterStep=1
#File Content Conversion specific parameters -
xml.addHeaderLine=0
xml.fieldSeparator==
xml.endSeparator='nl'
And here the configuration of the receiver communication channel in the integration directory:
Adapter Type: XI
Receiver
Transport-Protocol: HTTP 1.0
Message-Protocol: XI 3.0
Adapter-Engine: Integration Server
Adressing-Type: URL Address
Target Host: <yourJ2SEip>
Service Number: 8111
Path Prefix:http://<yourJ2SEip>:8111/file/receiver
Authentication Data
Logon data for non-SAP systems
User
Password
That's it... sent your payload and got the wished result:
477
477=AA1

IDOC to flat File----Problem in File Content Conversion at receiver

hi experts,
I am doing a IDOC to flat file secnario.
My requirment is IDOCXI-Flat file
Format of flat file is like:--
Every segment in the IDOC will be converted into a single line of file(without any delimiter). So number of lines in flat file will be equal to number of segments in IDOC.
I am facing problem in File Content conversion.
Please help me out..
Thanks
Jaideep

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 ?
Regards,
Sandeep

Upload flat file (Content Conversion Parameters)

Hello,
I am still trying to upload a flat text file to XI. Its a non separator file.
Here the error message from the XI adaper engine:
Sender Adapter v1508 for Party '', Service 'IXI_FileSystem_CSV':
Configured at 15:36:12 2005-08-03
Initialization error: Conversion initialization failed with java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: <b>
Mandatory parameter 'CONTROL.keyFieldValue': no value found</b>
Here all my settings:
Message protocol: File Content Conversion
Document name: CMA_FILEINPUT1
Document namespace: http://www.xyz/ogsd
Recordset name: RECORD
Recordset structure: CONTROL,1,SEGMENT,*
<b>Key Field Name: SEGMENT.DUMMYKEY</b>
Key Field Type: String (cs) -> default
Fields:
CONTROL.fieldNames:TABNAM,MANDT,DOCNUM,DOCREL,....
CONTROL.fieldFixedLengths:10,3,16,4,2,1,1,...
SEGMENT.fieldNames:DUMMYKEY,DUMMY,LOCATIONID,...
SEGMENT.fieldFixedLengths:12,51,10,18,4,10,
SEGMENT.keyFieldValue:E2BPBULOCM03 (string that occurs in the first field DUMMYKEY of SEGMENT)
The message type looks like this:
CMA_MSGTYP1                1:1
RECORD                   1:1
    CONTROL                1:1
      TABNAM
      MANDT...
    SEGMENT                0:unbounded
      DUMMYKEY
      DUMMY
      LOCATIONID...
Why do i get that error message? How to fill Key field name correctly? In my opinion i dont need key fields for CONTROL because of the occurence of one.
Any idea?

Thanks to all. So "Key Field Name" is just symbolic?
Here are my new settings:
Message protocol: File Content Conversion
Document name: CMA_FILEINPUT1
Document namespace: http://www.xyz.de/ogsd
Recordset name: RECORD
Recordset structure: CONTROL,1,SEGMENT,*
<b>Key Field Name: KF</b>
Key Field Type: String (cs) -> default
Fields:
CONTROL.fieldNames:TABNAM,MANDT,DOCNUM,DOCREL,....
CONTROL.fieldFixedLengths:10,3,16,4,2,1,1,...
SEGMENT.fieldNames:DUMMYKEY,DUMMY,LOCATIONID,...
SEGMENT.fieldFixedLengths:12,51,10,18,4,10,
<b>SEGMENT.keyFieldValue:E2BPBULOCM03 (from DUMMYKEY)
CONTROL.keyFieldValue: HRETZU (from TABNAM) </b>
Both key fields are the first entries in the substructures.
Now this error is coming up:
Sender Adapter v1508 for Party '', Service 'IXI_FileSystem_CSV':
Configured at 16:41:24 2005-08-03
Last message processing started 16:41:24 2005-08-03, Error: Conversion of complete file content to XML format failed around position 0 with java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'SEGMENT':java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: field(s) missing - specify 'lastFieldsOptional' parameter to allow this
last retry interval started 16:41:24 2005-08-03

What is that for a new parameter(lastFieldsOptional)?

File Content Conversion i.e Flat file 2 Flat file
