File Content Conversion question

Hello Guru's,
Ive the following flat file:
ZWL;Ordertype
00Z0;Organisation
And I want to get the following XML structure:
<Ordertype>ZWL</Ordertype>
<Organisation>00Z0</Organisation>
So just the words before (
How can I define this in FCC, what parameters do I have to set?
Kind Regards,
Kamran

Hi Kamran,
<Ive the following flat file:
ZWL;Ordertype
00Z0;Organisation
And I want to get the following XML structure:
<Ordertype>ZWL</Ordertype>
<Organisation>00Z0</Organisation>
So just the words before (;)>
As per your above example i can give you some idea how to do that.
1. Create your data type like this
OrderType
Filler1
Organisation
Filler2
2. While doing your message mapping map only OrderType & Organisation to target fields (do not map any fillers)
Now, in your FCC pick all the fileds separated by semi colon (;). By doing so you will get all the data in seprate fields and thus after mapping you will your desired result.
FCC parameters to be used.
Recordset Structure ITEM,*
ITEM.fieldNames ordertpe,filler1,organisation,filler2..............etc
ITEM.fieldSeparator ';'

Hi Question about Sender File Content Conversion

Hi All,
I have a flat file i need convert that flat file to the below XML format using File content Conversion, can anybody help me on this with example File content Convertion parameters
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_FileSend xmlns:ns0="http://test">
 <Recordset>

Hi Sudheer reddy,
 Good question.
File content conversion parameters are:
1) Doccument Name: Doccument name is nothing but message type name for file side: MT_FileSend
2) Doccument Namespace: mention the name space for the message type.
3) Doccument Offset: for which row and which coloumn doccument has to be write.
4) recordset name: mention the record set name: Recordset
5) Recordset Namespace: if the namespace is different for message type name space mention name space or otherwise it is blank.
6) Recordset Structure: Mention the structure name
7) Recordset Sequence: mention the sequence of the recordset Ascending or Decending
8) Recordset permessage: Would define no of record sets per message.
9) Key-field name: to query to the doccument
10) Key field type: string(Case-senstive)
fieldValues
fieldSeparator
endSeparator
Note: pls check in SDN about file content conversions it so many blogs are available, u can easily understand.

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..

Question about File Content Conversion and parent-child relationships...

Hello!
 I have read probably every blog, article and SAP Help document on the topic, but I am stuck on this one. I am trying to convert a General Ledger flat file to an IDoc using the classic file --> IDoc scenario. The setup is done and working, but the IDocs are formatted incorrectly and I believe at least part of the reason is how I am converting the file content.
The root of my problem is that the flat file has a parent-child relationship between the document header and the document item and I want to maintain that since the IDoc type (FIDCCP01) has the same structure in the BKPF and BSEG segments.
Here is the flat (non-XML) file layout that is coming into the file adapter:
FileHeader
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
and so on (until the number of documents is complete
I would really like the content to be converted so that the line items stay under their parent document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
 </ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
 <ItemHeader>
</ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
But I keep getting this, where it lists the document headers first (one after another), and then all of the line items after the document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<ItemHeader></ItemHeader>
Is is possible to maintain that parent-child relationship from the flat file and pass it over to the XML?
Thanks,
John

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

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 -
Root
--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2

Group3

File-Sender: Verification of file content during file content conversion

Hello,
I have a question regarding file verification when using the file-sender adapter.
I got a flat file (.csv) that I convert into XML with the file-sender adapter and file-content-conversion.
In the file there is a column RecTyp that is my KeyFieldValue. Possible values for RecTyp are B, D, U, T.
So far so good. All this works perfectly.
If (due to an error) there is another value in RecTyp than the 4 mentioned above (B;D;U;T) the file adapter ignores this row today. And here begins my issue:
I want to change this behavior. That means in detail, I want to check if there is another value in my KeyFieldValue RecTyp than specified. If this is the case an exception should be thrown. The whole message should not be delivered.
We had the idea to use the module-processor for this verification.
But may be there are other suggestions. Or may be some one can provide an appropriate module that is already written, etc.
Does anyone have an idea?
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi,
It is better to pick the file in generic way i.e Row by Row and then go with the validation with the help of Adapter Modules or in the Mapping.

Mail Adapter and File content conversion.

I have a scenario to send data from SAP to 4 different boards. I have used a Multi mapping for this scenario. I am using Proxy for SAP to xi and SOAP, File and Mail adapter for the external connections.
Questions:
1) I need to send a mail in CSV or Excell format in one scenario. I have used AF_StrictXml2Plain Module but its not working? any thoughts?
2) In the file adapter I have to add the YYYYMMDD (current Date) to the file name? when I use timestamp i get the time too, any way of getting only date? I cant use the Variable substitution as i dont have date in my payload.
3) Receiver File content conversion:
My Message Type Looks like this
MT_XX_XX
     Row
        title
        xxx
I have used these parameters:
Recordset Structure: Row
Row.addHeaderLine : 0
Row.fieldSeparator : ,
Row.endSeparator: 'nl'
am I doing something worng, the file content conversion doesnt work.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Make sure u are using the bean before the mail adapter bean.
Before using the file content conversion make sure that there are no substructures in it , in order to use addheader line as 0. else use addheaderline 3 and give the headerline as comma seperated values
for e.g if this is the type then addheader line= 0
Type 1 :
Record_Mt
     Row
         field1
         field2
else if this the type then addheaderline = 3
*Type 2: *
Record_Mt
     Row1
         field1
         field2
     Row2
         field1
         field2
add module like this
localejbs/sap.com/AF_Modules/StrictXml2PlainBean
with the module key e.g. key
for type 1 struct (as above )add parameter- key as singleRecordType and value as Row with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 0)
for type 2 structure (as above )add parameter- key as recordTypes and value as Row1, Row2 with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 3)

Define attributes in Sender File Content Conversion

Hello everybody,
I have the following issue:
I have the next flat file:
0001;159;2008-04-03;Customer_2008-04-03.xml
0001;953;0;1;0
0002;2907;0;1;0
And I have to convert it to the next XML structure:
<DocumentsBatch id="0001" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<BatchInfo>
<SumDocumenten>159</SumDocumenten>
<date>2008-04-03</date>
<name>Customer_2008-04-03.xml></name>
</BatchInfo>
<Document id="0001">
<Customer>953</Customer>
<Portnumber>0</Portnumber>
<denied>1</denied>
<Port>0</Port>
</Document>
<Document id="0002">
<Customer>2907</Customer>
<Portnumber>0</Portnumber>
<denied>1</denied>
<Port>0</Port>
</Document>
My question is: Is it possible to define an attribute (e.g. id="0001" in <Document id="0001">) in File Content Conversion? If so, how can I do that?
Your answers will be rewarded with points.
Kind regards,
Kamran

Hi Kamran,
its not possible to define attribute in File Content conversion.Instead u can create one more field "id" under the segments DocumentsBatch, Document etc.
Thanks

IDOC to File - File Content Conversion Problem

Hi,
The scenario is IDOC to File. I am using file content conversion for my receiver adapter. The receiver adapter parks the file in the receiver system but the file has no data. In SXMB_MONI on checking the payload at every step, the data is transformed successfully. I am able to see the data at the receiver payload but the file in the receiver system has got no data.
I have used all possible parameters in the receiver adapter:-
Recordset.fieldFixedLengths 1,1,1
Recordset.endSeparator 'nl'
Recordset.fieldNames rec_type,action,del_in
Recordset.fixedFieldType char
Kindly advice if some more parameters need to be added.
Thanks in advance.
Krishna

Hi,
if you're using stnadard SAP idoc
you can try using the same approach as specified
in this doc (but with module IDOC to XML insdead of XML to IDOC)

Java Mapping Or Adapter Module for MultiLevel File Content Conversion ??

Hi Experts,
Hi All,
As we all know file content conversion cannot parse more than three level even if we use FCC paramenters or MessageTransform Bean /StrictXmlToPlain Bean.
Currently i am facing an scenario where i can expect an content coversion with four or five levels.
for ex.
Target Message Looks like
Header(0..1)
       |_____X
       |_____Y
       |_____Detail(0.n)
             |____A
             |____B
             |____SubDetail(0.n)
                    |_____Trailer(0.n)
                            |______rec1
                            |______rec2
                            |______rec3(0..n)
                                   |______Subrec1
                                   |______Subrec2
So my question how can i do the FixedLength/CSV in the target system ???
Shall i do java mapping ? if yes then any code example relevant to this type of scenario
Shall i do adapter module development ?if yes then any code example relevant to this type of scenario
Thanks In Advance

File Content Conversion doesn't pull file

Hi all,
I have a Comm Channel using File Content Conversion - it does not pick up the file (no message in msg monitor). If I copy the Comm Channel, turn off File Content Conversion, and change the Sender Agreement to use the copied Comm Channel, the file is picked up and a message appears in the message monitor.
Any ideas? Does File Content Conversion expect certain file names/types/etc...?
Also, side question - when I change the sender agreement (or anything else in the CD), SXI_CACHE shows "Unable to refresh cache contents" with various errors, one of them being "LCR_GET_OWN_BUSINESS_SYSTEM - NO_BUSINESS_SYSTEM"; another said something about IF_HTTP_.. HTTP Communication error or something.
I'll do more searching on this on and post a new topic if necessary...
Thanks,
Brian

I'll try setting those logging settings (don't have access).
In the meantime, here is my content conversion:

Spaces getting trimmed in file content conversion

Hi all,
I am converting a flat file to an XML file by XI. The problem which i am facing in file content conversion is that the spaces in flat file data are getting trimmed to one space in the XML in SXMB_MONI.
The data in flat file is like SOUTHSEA and HANTS is having nearly 8 spaces.
But the data in XML is:
SOUTHSEA HANTS PO5 2LZ PO5 2LZ020327 i.e. in XML, there is only 1 space between SOUTHSEA and HANTS.
The following parameters i have used in file content conversion:
.keyFieldValue '*'
.fieldSeparator 'nl'
.fieldNames RECORD_DATA
.ignoreRecordsetName true
I am taking each record of the flat-file in a single record RECORD_DATA in XML.
So can anyone tell me why the big spaces are getting trimmed to a single space eg. between SOUTHSEA and HANTS etc.
Thanks in advance.
