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
Deepak

File Content Conversion - documentation, especially for all parameters?

Hi,
Can anyone point me to do for the File Content Conversion documentation? especailyl for all the parapters for record set structures? I've found some articles, posts here and there, but nothing that just lists them all.
I'm try to parse a flatfile thats simply looks like this:
abc
d
e
Into a single recordset with 3 structures..
the first struct has 3 fields, 1 char each
then 2nd structure has 1 field
then the 3rd structure has 1 field
however, no matter what I try, the engine always seems to try to parse the 2nd line as the first structure type.. thus complaining line 2 can't be converted to the first strucuture format...

Here are couple of weblogs

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.

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?

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter

File is not creating on the Receiver for File Content Conversion

Hi,
i have created a scenario with this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
for sender side i am using File Content Conversion to read .txt file and on receiver side i need xml file i have done that.
when i placed the file in the sender folder it gets picked up and i checked in Communication Channel monitporing in Runtime WorkBench it is processed Successfully. but no XML File is created on the Receiver side. i am unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also.
Please suggest some ideas to solve this.
Thanks,
Giridhar.C

Hi Giridhar.
unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also
If the file got picked and in Communication Channel monitoring RWB you can see that it is processed without any errors ,, then i feel it should come in come.Please check the Audit log in RWB, there you can see the error message if any.
Please check the connection parameters in FTP and make sure that the same sender folder is
not being used by any other scenario.If you have done any recent changes then do a cache refresh .
Please post if you see any error in content conversion.

How to resolve this issue? I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Balaji

Balaji,
I would suggest to remove FileItem and LineItem in your receiver datatype. They are increasing the hierarchy of your content conversion. If you do that then you will have
<ns1:MT_Info_File xmlns:ns1="urn:http://freemanco.com/xi/info_list">
<TYPE>
<FileName>DD11022007</FileName>
</TYPE>
<DATA><LineEntry>234567891234567890123456789012345678901234567890</LineEntry>
<LineEntry>95473523647586969587265245437586979798376524253586</LineEntry>
<DATA>
</ns1:MT_Info_File>
Then in content converstion give this parameters:
Record structure : TYPE,FileName,DATA,LineEntry
TYPE.fieldfixedlengths : 0
FileName.fieldfixedlenghts:0
DATA.fieldfixedlenghts:0
LineEntry.fieldfixedlengths:301
LineEntry.endSeparator:'nl'
Then it should work. Also you can use FileName in your variable substituition. Also please see this weblog on how to use FileName in variable substitution:
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
If you dont want to remove FileItem and LineItem then add these also in your content conversion. Then the parameters would be:
Recordset: TYPE,FileItem,FileName,DATA,LineItem,LineEntry
TYPE.fieldfixedlengths : 0
FileItem.fieldfixedlengths:0
FileName.fieldfixedlenghts:0
DATA.fieldfixedlenghts:0
LineItem.fieldfixedlengths : 0
LineEntry.fieldfixedlengths:301
LineEntry.endSeparator:'nl'

** 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.
