File Conversions with API...!

Hi guys...!
I'm searching for a file conversion product that comes with an API, which will enable programmers or developers to integrate it in their program.
The product must be able to convert PDF, HTML, Excel, Access, Power Point, and Word into a text document. Most of the product that I found do not come with an API.
Does anyone know a good product that does that...?
Any suggestion will be welcome....!
Thanks...

Would you please btw describe how you want to convert
a Powerpoint presentation to a txt file?No problem:---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sender File adapter File Conversion with key fields

Please help me guys, I already spent way too much time on this!
I checked a couple of BLOGs and I think I'm doing the right thing except I'm not getting the result I would expect.
I'm trying to create an IDoc using the from a flat file.
I get the following error:
During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
The Source file is this:
H
L0015
The file adapter does create the XML below (looks fine):
<ns:MT_SINGLE xmlns:ns="http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE">
<HEADER>
     <ID>H</ID>
</HEADER>
<LINE>
     <ID>L</ID>
     <SITE>0015</SITE>
</LINE>
</ns:MT_SINGLE>
When I test the map in IR, with the XML that this file adapter created (above) it works fine!
Also if I take away the HEADER from the source structure everything works fine and I can create the IDoc, therefore I think something must be wrong in the file conversion, the mapping is so simple there is nothing to fail there.
The file conversion parameters that I have:
Document Name: MT_SINGLE
Document Namespace: http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE
Document Offset:
Recordset Name:
Recordset Namespace:
Recordset Structure: HEADER,1,LINE,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordset per Message:
Key Field name: ID
Key Field Type: String (Case-Sensitive)
LINE.fieldNames: ID,SITE
LINE.fieldFixedLengths: 1,4
LINE.keyFieldValue: L
HEADER.fieldNames: ID
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths: 1
HEADER.keyFieldValue: H
What am I doing wrong???
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor Varga

Hi Viktor,
Basic rules:
1. Down load XML payload(output From Adapter) and test it in IR mapping program. If it is working there is no reason why it will fail in Runtime. Also Check Cache is up to date.
Generally the problem lies with namespace.
Hope this helps

Insert file globals with API

Hello,
how do I add new properties to file globals using API-calls. (VC++ and TS 3.5).
The following code snippet doesn't produce any errors but unfortunately doesn't
produce any file globals either.
seqfile = engine->NewSequenceFile();
propobj = seqfile->AsPropertyObject();
propobjTemp = engine->NewPropertyObject(TS:: PropValType_Boolean,VARIANT_FALSE,(_bstr_t)"",TS:: PropOption_SetOnlyIfDoesNotExist);
propobj->SetPropertyObject((_bstr_t)"FileGlobals.MyBoolean",TS:: PropOption_InsertIfMissing,propobjTemp);
propobjTemp = engine->NewPropertyObject(TS:: PropValType_Number,VARIANT_FALSE,(_bstr_t)"",TS:: PropOption_SetOnlyIfDoesNotExist);
propobj->SetPropertyObject((_bstr_t)"FileGlobals.MyString",TS:: PropOption_InsertIfMissing,propobjTemp);
propobjTemp = engine->NewPropertyObject(TS:: PropValType_NamedType,VARIANT_FALSE,(_bstr_t)"SomeContainer",0);
propobj->SetPropertyObject((_bstr_t)"FileGlobals.MyContainer",TS:: PropOption_InsertIfMissing,propobjTemp);
Thank you for your help.
Mike

Hi,
I have attached an example, which creates a new seqfile, inserts a FileGlobals (check out the lookup string - "Data.FileGlobalDefaults.MyBoolean"), increments the count and saves then releases the sequence file.
Its a bit crude. It will create the sequencefile "MySequenceFile.seq" in the same location where you open the main sequence file.
Hope it helps

5D Mark II file conversion with CS3

I just bought a 5D Mark II, but CS3 Bridge won't open my files. So I downloaded DNG converter 4.5, but when I tried to do the conversions I got a message saying "There was an error parsing the file". How can I use CS3 Bridge with my 5D Mark II files?

So let me make sure I'm understanding everything correctly. Since my studio now additionally shoots with a Canon 5D Mark II camera, me and my staff of photographers has to use the DNG converter after every shoot to convert the Mark II files into a compatible .dng file?
I'm in the process of converting a shoot from today with the 5.2 DNG converter and it's anything BUT quick. This is basically forcing my studio to upgrade every computer to CS4 because this creates a serious kink in the workflow since we need to remain efficient after each shoot.
I have 8 computers that could potentially need upgrades to CS4. This is hard on small businesses when Adobe is updating their software so often. Regular updates I understand, but total version changes is another. It's hard for me to believe that this wasn't intentional to drive more sales towards CS4 upgrades. Maybe I'm totally wrong though; I'm just really frustrated right now. Any help?

File Conversion with special char ' '

I have a flat file that contains '<' character though it is not an XML file. I planned to treat the contents like a blog and have something like this:
<recordset>
<record>
    <data>
      <i>File content</i>
    <data>
</record>
</recordset>
My File content has something like the following:
<<SAMPLE>>
<_TEST_>
DATEFORMAT, DD-MM-YYYY
DATETIMEFORMAT, DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS
SOURCESYSTEM, BM_SRC_OPENBPC
<ENDTEST>
How can this be handled as XI will interpret the '<' as XML tag and give an error when it encounters this.

When you use the content conversion of the file adapter, the characters < and > are escaped automatically.
When you want to write your own conversion module, you have to do the escaping by your own, if you want the '<' to be treated as a character. You can leave the < unescaped, when you want to treat it as a tag.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 <b>value2</b> value3
I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

File Adapter with Content Conversion

Hi -
I am trying to convert a Flat file which has data as
firstnamelastnamecompanyName
Now i have created a message type which has a root name as Contact and its children are FirstName,LastName,Company.
And in the configurator i have created a file adapter with the content conversion, but being very new to XI i have never used a file adapter with content conversion. This is what i have in my Content Conversion Parameters.Please correct my code.
Document Name      ::   MT_Contact
Document Namespace ::   http://venkat
Document Offset    :: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Name     ::   RootNode(i gave this name just like that,,, Should it be something from the IR??
Recordset NameSpace:: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Structure::   Contact (this is the name in my IR
Recordset Sequence :: Ascending
Recordsets per Message :: Contact,* (Can someone explain what should be given here)
Then in the bottom in the name value pairs i have given
Contact.fieldNames   =   FirstName,LastName,Company
Contact.fieldSeparator = #
When i am using the above configuration the error i am getting in RWB is Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:
Format error in 'xml.recordset' argument: incomplete structure (name,number) pairInvalid 'xml.recordsetsPerMessage' value 'Contact,*' found
I am very new to XI and i am unable to understand what exactly each field means in the file adapter when the content coversion is used. Can someone take the pain of explaining them.
Thank you
Venkat

Hi,
Use the following to create an XML strucutre like this,
<MT_CONTACT>
<CONTACT>
<FirstName> </FirstName>
<LastName> </LastName>
<CompanyName> </CompanyName>
</CONTACT>
<MT_CONTACT>
DocumentName : MT_TEST
DocumentNamespace : Yournamespace
RecordserName : record
RecordsetStructure : CONTACT,1
In the table,
ignoreRecordsetName : true
CONTACT.fieldNames : FirstName,LastName,CompanyName
CONTACT.fieldSeparator : #

File Adapter with Conversion - XML with Hierarchy?

XI 3.0 (SP9)
We are using the inbound file adapter with conversion to convert a flat file that has header and line items. I would have thought that the data type should have been setup something like this:
<data type>
<header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</header>
</data type>
Our flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
We have only been able to configure the file adapter to bring in the data like this:
<data type>
<header></header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</data type>
What is the proper way to inbound data through a file adapter that has structure conversion like this?
Do all of the elements get put under the root node, or is there a way to build structure?
Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
Thanks
Peter

Not quite sure what you want to get, as the flatfile and xml structure does not contain the same values.
However, I will try to give you an example:
Your flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
If the first row is header and the next is a line, then you need to specify the fila adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = recordset
Recordset structure = header,1,item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
Keyfieldname = id
header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
header.fieldNames = id,number
header.keyFieldValue = H
header.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.keyFieldValue = H
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<recordset>
<header>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</header>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</recordset>
</datatype>
Hoever, if both rows are "item" rows , then you need to specify the file adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = header
Recordset structure = item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<header>
<item>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</header>
</datatype>
Q: Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
A: Yes!
Good luck!

Sender file adapter with content conversion Simple XML

Hi experts,
I'm trying to parametrize my sender file adapter content conversion.
I'm receiving a text file with one single line like:
AA1;AA2; AA3;
and I want to convert it to an XML like
<MT_A1>
<field1>AA1</field1>
<field2>AA2</field2>
<field3>AA3</field3>
</MT_A1>
Actually I know how to do somenthing like
<MT_A1>
    <LINE>
          <field1>AA1</field1>
          <field2>AA2</field2>
          <field3>AA3</field3>
     <LINE>
</MT_A1>
What I want is remove the <LINE> tag from my XML.

File sender with content conversion and ignoreRecordsetName

Him,
I have an scenario with a compressed file sender with content conversion.
In my sender cc i have:
1     AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean     Local Enterprise Bean     unzip
2     AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Local Enterprise Bean     transform
3     CallSapAdapter     Local Enterprise Bean     2
In module configuration, I have also added:
xml.ignoreRecordsetName --> true
But RecordsetName is not removed from XML
Why?
thanks, in advance
Carme

Hi,
No need to enter anything in module configuration. Just specify following Name-Value pair in the table provided on the Content Conversion tab of your file adapter.
Add a row with Name = ignoreRecordsetName and Value = true (Both case-sensitive)
For details, see [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm].

Sender File Content Conversion with re-occuring record pairs

Hi,
Our FCC works fine with the following structure:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
But we have structure as below:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Lin1 and Line2 occur as multiple pairs making it as multiple line items. When we use content conversion parameters as below:
Header1.fieldNames          H1F1,H1F2,H1F2,...
Header1.fieldFixedLengths     10,5,10,.....
Header1.keyFieldValue          H1
Header1.keyFieldInStructure     add
Header1.endSeparator          'nl'
Header1.lastFieldsOptional     YES
and same for Header2, Notes, Line1, Line2
It picks up only first Header1, Header2, Notes, Line1 and Line2 in a recordset.
Does anyone have idea how could we do this content conversion? Any help would be appreciated.
