File Content Conversion -- Receiver File Adpter
Hi,
In the Receiver file adapter, we need to convert the
following XML file to CSV file.
Recordset
-|File (1)
-|Item (1 to unbounded)
-|BottomData(1)
and in the CSV file we just need Item and BottomData information
not the File content. We are putting File content
into file adapter to make the varibale substitution
in the file naming and It should not go into the
file content.
I configured the receiver file adapter as
Recordset Structure :File,Item,BottomData
File.addHeaderLine 0
File.noOfColumns 0
File.fieldFixedLengths 0
File.fixedlengthTooShortHandling 'Cut'
Item.addHeaderLine 0
Item.fieldFixedLengths 8,6,4,3,20,14,6,30,1,2,18,6,4,12,4,4,1,6,6,8,7,4,6,10,20,1,10
BottomData.addHeaderLine 0
BottomData.fieldFixedLengths 8,6,4,3,40,2,3,2,3,1,19,15,27,7,27
But it is not working. File is still coming.
Is there any way to delete one line in the receiver
file adapter.
Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
Srinivas
Hi Srinivas,
There are other ways also to get the filename. See this link for this:

Problem with File Content Conversion (Receiver FIle Adapter)
Hi Experts,
I have following structure in receiver side:
MT_Test
F1
F2
F3
F4
Now I want a CSV file in target side in below format:
F1,F2,F3,F4
I have provided below config in receiver file adapter under content conversion tab:
Recordset Structure : MT_Test
MT_Test.fieldSeperator= ,
MT_Test.endSeperator= 'nl'
But this is generating blank CSV files in target directory..What might be the reason.. I have checked the msg in adapter engine, the XML file is correct and contains valid values for the fields..Its something like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_Test>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
I should get CSV file as
Hai,Hello,Bye,Hi
But I am getting a blank file with above said config parameters in content conversion tab.
What might be the reason for getting blank CSV files in target side???
Thanks,
AdiHi Adi,
>>My target structure in below format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
So, try to edit Data type and include hierarchy level above <F1>.
Finally your Target Structure will resembles like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<Structure>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</Structure>
</MT_Test>
FCC Parameters will be like this.
Structure.fieldSeparator = ,
Structure.endSeparator = 'nl'
Hope you were clear.
Thanks,

Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter
Hi All
I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
I have a file coming in the following format.
AA,111,222,333
BB,444,555,666
CC,777,888,999
My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
AA,111,222,333
<<BB,444,555,666>>
<<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
Please let me know
Thanks
ChandraHi Udo
According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
This is my source structure:
AA,11,22,33
BB,44,55,66
CC,77,88,99
This is my required targer structure:
AA,11,22,33
<<BB,44,55,66>>
<<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
I am using removecontext node function.
CC (Source) (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
Many Thanks

File Content Conversion - Receiver Adapter
Hi To All
I have an XML Structure
<LIST>
<Seg1>
<Element1>123</Element1>
</Seg1>
<Seg2>
<Element1>ABC</Element1>
<Element2>DEF</Element2>
<Element3>GHF</Element3>
</Seg2>
<LIST>
I'm using File content conversion in receiver Adapter
I want my output like this.
ABCDEFGHF
I don't need the Segment Seg1.
In my parameters RecordsetStructure only I have Seg2 and the details for this Segment
but When I receive a file, the adapter convert with segment 1.
123
ABCDEFGHF
can you help me?.easiest alternative is mentioned here already, drop it in the mapping.
You can also try to write a java pgm and invoke it as an OS command. that cuts the segment1 out before passing it to content conversion. ..more painful..but will work.

Issue w/ File content conversion (Receiver side)
Folks, there seems to be an issue with the conversion. I've read several of threads on this forum, but none helped! Although the file is generated with 8 bytes there seems to be nothing in the file.
However when 'File' message protocol is used, the xml file is generated correctly as expected. All my other settings are fine.
Here is the scenario:
1) created Message type -
MTX
..Material
..BaseUnit
..MatGrp
..Division
2) comm. channel created for -
Transport protocol: File (NFS)
Message protocol: File content conversion
Recordset Structure: MTX
parameters:
MTX.fieldSeparator: ,
MTX.endSeparator: 'nl'
Should recordset struc. and parameters have 'ns0' prefix, i.e.,
Recordset Structure: ns0:MTX
parameters:
ns0:MTX.fieldSeparator: ,
ns0:MTX.endSeparator: 'nl'
What esle is missing? any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks and appreciate your responses.Hi ABAP JUNOON,
Could you please create another Test scenario and
try
MTI_XXX
- DATA(0..unbounded)
- fields?
i mean, without redundant RS(Record Structure).
and use
Transport protocol: File (NFS)
Message protocol: File content conversion
Recordset Structure: DATA.
it will written the complete output file.
some people create the Reciver data type for test scenario's as follows.
MTI_XXX
-RS
- DATA(0..unbounded)
- fields?
i mean with redundant RS
in this case file is generated, but nothing will be appear.
so plz take care while creating the reciver data type with FCC.
and the following case also will work i.e
MTI_XXX
-RS
-Header(0,1)
- fields?
- DATA(0..unbounded)
- fields?
- Trailer(0,1)
- fields?

File content conversion - Receiver config
Dear Experts ,
I am transferring data from an Idoc to a target structure ( flat file ) using file content conversion . But the problem is regarding the sequential order of writing the data .
>E1EDL24 ( parent ) [ IDoc ]
xxxxx
yyyyy
zzzzz
>E1EDL26 (child)
xxxxx
My target structure i have defined into which i pass the values from IDoc is as follows .No heirarchy , bcoz i want the child to be written in the next line
ROOTNODE
E1EDL24
xxxx
yyyy
zzzz
E1EDL26
xxxx
when the file content conversion is done it has to write to the target as below and they are unbounded repetitions
E1EDL24 xxxxx yyyyy zzzzzzz -
parent [ Flat File - Using file content conversion ]
E1EDL26 xxxxx -
child
E1EDL24 xxxxx yyyyy zzzzzzz
E1EDL26 xxxxx
E1EDL24 xxxxx yyyyy zzzzzzz

It is giving me configuration error .
Should subnodes or child be mentioned in the record set structure or not. if not how will i clearly wite it to the next line as a child for every time it writes a parent unbounded times .
So can anyone tell me if the problem is with mapping or parent child relation or how do i map to get it in the sequence . Your replies can be really helpful
-Thanks in advance
Regards
GangaHI Bhaskar ,
This is not even so deeply nested . Its just one parent and child that it has to write in the flat file with unbounded times . The output xml is generated perfectly but giving the configuration error . in passing the values . Want to know how to write the child segments in the configuration profile in the content conversion parameters .

My file content conversion is:
recordset: entregas,marca1,cajas,ref_cliente,num_serie,descr
all fields has fieldSeparator and endSeparator
I had testing change this values however i can't obtain the output file..hi,
Content Conversion does not support more then 2 th depth levels I'm affraid
so you need to do it:
- either in the mapping (so only 2 levels will be visible)
- or in the adapter module (instead of mapping you can prepare the lines here)

File content conversion:move files to a new directory
hi all,
I have a file content conversion sender and receiver scenario.Now my doubt is: XI is running on sap27 server.Input file is being created by an ABAP program in r/3 and file being put in sap29 server.
In source directory if i am giving the sap29 path it is not working.Is there any way that i can write a OS command to move files from 29 to 27 before message processing ??
Any other option available??
thanks,
Nisheetahi,
Yes the basis people have shared the folder and they have mapped the sap29 folder into sap27 using I:\ drive
But the files are not getting picked....am i giving the source directory wrong??
I am giving I:\Folder_Name
suggestions needed

File content conversion in File-to-RFC without BPM
Hi,
I am using FCC for file to RFc scenario.
My input record is in the following format:
Header record
data rec1
data rec2
Trailer record..
The parameters are used in File content conversion:
Recordset Name : Header,item
Recordset Structure: Header,1,item,*
key field name : data1
and in additional parameters:
Header.fieldNames HI,GenDate,Ftype,Fname,Fdate
Header.keyFieldValue Fname
Header.fieldFixedLengths 1,8,1,50,8
Header.endSeparator nl
item.endSeparator nl
item.fieldNames DATA1,DATA2,DATA3,DATA4
item.keyFieldValue item
item.fieldFixedLengths 231,240,241,120
item.lastFieldsOptional YES
Can anyone check whether any parameters are left, b'cos the file is not being read with this settings. and in the C.C its just showing file processing successfully but not able to see the actual file.Hi,
I assume you have header, item and trailer structure in source file.
Source Data Type will be as follows.
RecordSet
--> Header
--> KeyField(Value OH)
--> H1
--> H2
--> Item
--> KeyField (Value OL)
--> I1
--> I2
-->Trailer
--> KeyField (Value OT)
--> T1
--> T2
Where Item Strucutre can come multiple times.
Please use following settings.
Recordset name: RecordSet
RecordSet Structure: Header,1,Item,*,Trailer,1
Key Field Name: KeyField
Header.fieldNames: KeyField,H1,H2
Header.fieldFixedLengths: 2,3,4
Header.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Header.keyFieldValue: OH
Header.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Item.fieldNames: KeyField,I1,I2
Item.fieldFixedLengths: 2,5,6
Item.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Item.keyFieldValue: OL
Item.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Trailer.fieldNames: KeyField,T1,T2

File content conversion for file with hierarchical structure
Hi
I want to read a flat file in the following message structure using file content conversion.
Message structure is :
01 ( occurence = 1)
_ 1B (occurence = unbounded)
_ 1G (occurence = unbounded)
_1H (occurence = 1)
_1N ( occurence = unbounded)
99 (occurence = 1, trailer record)
In short there will be one 01 ( header record) in file. There will multiple 1B records. Under one 1B record there will multiple 1G records. Under each 1G record there will be one 1H recoprd and multiple 1N record. At the end there will one 99 record.
File format : Fixed length
Data in the text file would be as follows :
01Test
1BF0001MS005 4855390859

Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks
Varunyou cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

File Content Conversion CSV File
Hello All,
I have a CSV file in the below format.
a,b,c
And my content conversion works.
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
Sometimes I get the records in the file as
a,b,
My conversion is failing, I mean it give me file as
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
The last element <3></3> is not getting created.
I tried to use lastFieldsOptional its not working.
How can I achieve this.
Regards,Okay Satish I will give a last try to explain you my issue..
my CSV file is like this a,b,c,d
my conversion works fine so the xml is after conversion
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4>d</4>
Now few rows in the file may come as a,b,c, there is no d value it is blank.
so I expect the conversion to be now
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4></4>
like this, but what I am getting now is after conversion...
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
tag <4></4> is not getting created and my Outbound expects the XML to be in that format, so for this I tried to use lastfieldsoptional so that empty <4></4> tag is created but no luck...
This is what I want to do..
In the process even though <4></4> is not created File Content Conversion is successful and so Adapter Monitoring is showing success and my mapping fails.

File Content Conversion (receiver) and special characters
Hi all,
I have a scenario that has a file receiver channel with content conversion. The record structure in the flat file is field-width delimited (hence no field separator) and the parameter 'fieldLengthTooShortHandling' has the value 'Cut' because the receiving system needs only specific widths for the fields. Hence if the field value exceeds the length permitted, the extra characters are clipped.
I observed that some characters are not handled properly while creating the text file. For example, one of the fields contained a "minus" character (not the hyphen). The flat file was created successfully. I opened the file in notepad and found that the "minus" character has appeared correctly and the column count in that record was as expected. However when the same file was opened in Textpad, the minus character was displayed as â | | ('a' with caret, bar, bar) So, all the fields after this field were shifted ahead by 2 characters and hence the total column count of the record had gone beyond the actual one.
All this started due to the error reported by the receiver system which processes the flat file. Due to shift of characters in the flat file, the processing failed. Moreover that system cannot process the special characters (like minus or non-Latin accented characters etc.) So although there is no issue in XI interface as such, I just want to know if anyone has more informtion on why the characters are displayed differently as mentioned above.
Regards,
