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 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].

Creating a file with content conversion

Hi all,
I have a scenario in XI which i create a file in it,
I want to create the file with the content conversion option but with no field separator.
I have an error message - "File adapter receiver channel is not initialized. Unable to proceed: null" if i don't use the fieldSeperator option.
I don't want to use this option, I want the file to be created without separators.
Thanks,

File to IDOC with content conversion

Hi
I am trying to do a file content conversion scenario. This is a fixed length file which needs to be converted to idoc.
I have configured IR and ID (FCC parameters added). While testing the end-end scenario we are able to see that sender adapter has successfully read the message , but we are not able to see any message in SXMB_MONI.
Please help

Following is the file structure
"RecordType HeaderField2 HeaderField3"
"RecordType LineItem2 LineItem3"
"RecordType TrailerField2 TrailerField3"
Following are content conversion Parameters [KeyFieldName -> RecordType]
HeaderRow.beginSeparator -> '"'
HeaderRow.fieldFixedLengths -> 10,20,10 (for ex)
HeaderRow.fieldNames -> RecordType,HeaderField2,HeaderField3
HeaderRow.keyFieldValue -> 01 (COnstant)
HeaderRow1.endSeparator -> '"'
Similar for line item and trailer
Is there any way to check our input file against the content conversion parameters to make sure that they are correct
Thanks

Attachment of original message in file sender adapter content conversion

Hi,
does anybody know how I can configure a file sender communication channel (with content conversion) so that the original file is added to the XI SOAP message as attachment? Maybe this is just a parameter in "Advanced" tab. (The content conversion itself is not an issue.)
The result should be the "Main Document" (XML-message) and the "original document" as two attachments in the SOAP payload.
The reason for this is that the original file should be archived with the XML message as it was before the XML content conversion of the file sender adapter took place.
Thanks,
Philipp

original file is added to the XI SOAP message as attachment?
The "Advanced" tab -> additional files added in file adapter should act as the attachment to soap receiver adapter if u select the "Keep Attachments" option in soap receiver communication channel.
What do u want to do in FCC is a bit unclear?

Prateek

FCC: Problems with content conversion

Dear all,
I have a receiver FTP adapter with content conversion. In RWB I'm facing following error message:
Adapter Framework caught exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters! (Value 'FCOTUPI')', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
The field with value FCOTUPI could be found in POS recordset. I double check the length of columns but couldn't find
an error.
CC configuration:
Recordset structure: HEADER,POS,SUBPOS
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths = 8,4,8
POS.fieldFixedLengths = 8,20,15,3
SUBPOS.fieldFixedLengths = 5,5
HEADER.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
POS.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
SUBPOS.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
As you can see by the names, I am using as XML to convert a structure with subnodes. In documentation it said
that it is not allowed, but in some threads I found the information that structure could be processed.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Chris

Dear Amit,
thanks for your answer. I already checked this blog, but hoped for other solutions.
My problem: I tried to map my hierarchical structure to a flat structure.
Source
Struc1 (0..unbounded)
-Item1.1
-Struc2 (0..unbounded)
--Item 2.1
--Struc3 (0..unbounded)
---Item3.1
Target:
Struc1 (0..unbounded)
-Item1.1
Struc2 (0..unbounded)
-Item 2.1
Struc3 (0..unbounded)
-Item3.1
But if e.g. the Struc2 appears two time it will be created two time in target structure before
the Struc3 is created. But ths Struc3 belongs to Struc2 and should be created in flat file under
Struc2 directly.
How can we created a flat structure like this
Struc1
Struc2
Struc3
Struc3
Struc2
Struc3
Thanks
Chris

Issue with content conversion in receuver communication channel

Hi,
I am trying to configure receiver communication channel with file adapter and content conversion.
File structure is simple, as shown below:
MT_EmployeeDetails
     Employee_rec
          Employee_rec_struct
               EmpNo
               EmpName
               Address
It should have generated file in the following format:
1101     xxxx     xxxxx
1102     xxxx     xxxxx
1103     xxxx     xxxxx
But it is generating flat file as shown below:
1101     1102     1103     1104
Basically it is populating only first field in the target field. But I could see that the xml file is properly getting
generated in sxmb_moni.Also, when i tried to generate xml file without FCC, it is creating file properly.
following are the parameters I am using:
Employee_rec_struct.fielSeparator     '0x09'
Employee_rec_struct.endSeparator     'nl'
pls let me know whetehr i need to add any other parameters in FCC.

Hi,
Can u please provide with the exact structure of target... i know u have mentioned it already...
But the hierarchy and occurence is nt clear..
Like
Mt
---Employee(1)
Records(0..unbounded)
Name(1)
Age(1)
So that others here,can easily get vt exactly u want and give the solution....
If ur structure is like..
MT_EmployeeDetails
---Employee_rec
Employee_rec_struct(0..unbounded)
EmpNo
EmpName
Address
Then,
Use,
Employee_rec_struct.fieldSeparator '\t'
end separator is optional... by default its new line characcter.. no need of giving....
U should be giving the recordStructure as Employee_rec_struct,*
If still nt solved do post

Problems with content conversion in File Receiver Adapter

Hello, everybody.
    I have a RFC-to-File scenario with file content conversion. Everything is working well except that my file is generated with 2 blank lines at the top of it.
    The function module has 3 importing parameters (1 optional) and the file content comes from an internal table.
    Is it caused by the function module parameters? If yes, how can I avoid this, once I really need them? If not, does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks a lot,
    Marcos.

Hi, Raj.
Here they are the function module parameters:
Importing parameters:
         ICARRIER     TYPE     CHAR1
         FPATH     TYPE     IPATH
         IFILE     LIKE     VBAK-BNAME
Tables
         IYLASDS_RECPT     LIKE     YLASDS_RECPT
The structure YLASDS_RECPT has only one field with a single line of the file. I am using this field as the <i>Recordset Name</i> inside file adpater parameters.
There is no mapping between RFC and FTP messages.
Thanks a lot,
Marcos.

Proxy - ABAP mapping - file with content conversion

Scenario goes from ECC (proxy) to XI then I do ABAP mapping. I have tested the ABAP mapping with SXI_mapping_test transaction. My ABAP mapping puts the payload back into XML and then the data goes to a file adapter where I also use content conversion. If I do not do the content conversion the data comes out correct in XML. When I change to content conversion I get 20 blank lines. Is it possible to do content conversion from ABAP mapping?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Skip Ford

Hi,
Have you checked whether the blank lines you got in the XML files are from the blank nodes or elements which you created in ABAP mapping?
If it is, then just create your elements or nodes whenever there are corresponding values in your ABAP mapping.
e.g.
If l_sender_service is NOT initial.
elementsender = odocument->create_simple_element(
                               name = 'SenderService'
                               value = l_sender_service
                               parent = msgtype ).
endif.

File-Sender: Probl. with Content conversion - Read whole line in singleTag

Hello,
I have a flat file that i read with the sender file adapter.
After content conversion I get not the result i wished to have...
The source flat file looks for example like this:
ABC;DEF;GHIJ
KLM;NOP;Q
RSTU;VW
After the Content Conversion I would like to have this result:
<Recordset>
     <Data>
          <Row>ABC;DEF;GHIJ
           <Row>KLM;NOP;Q
          <Row>RSTU;VW
          <>
What sounds very similar but didnt work for me yesterday.
I defined a data type that looked like this:
DT_TEST (Complex Type)
     Recordset (0..unbounded)
          Data (1)
               Row (type string / 0..unbounded)
During the file content conversion I just did this:
Recordsetname: Recordset
Recordset structure: Data, 1
Data.fieldNames = Row
Data.fieldSeparator = nl
This was also described in blog:
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/16/configuring-generic-sender-file-cc-adapter
But my result is always like this:
<Recordset>
     <Data>
          <Row>ABC;DEF;GHIJ
     </Data>
</Recordset>
<Recordset>
     <Data>
          <Row> KLM;NOP;Q
     </Data>
</Recordset>
<Recordset>
     <Data>
          <Row> RSTU;VW
     </Data>
</Recordset>
.And not like I wished.
Can anybody help me?
Greetings
Tobias

Hi,
I just gone thru the blog and as per the structure defined I have no idea how this works this way.
But if you modify the structure to
RecordSet - occurs 0-1
Data - occurs 0-n
Row - occurs 0-1
And in the Content conversion mentions Data,* instead of Data,1.
In this case you will be getting a output like
<Data>
<Row>ddf,sdfsd,sdf</Row>
</Data>
<Data>
<Row>fff,sdfsd,sdf</Row>
</Data>
You can achieve this but I don't have any idea how to generate that kind of output with the Structure and the conversion parameter mentioned in the blog.
Thanks,
Prakash

Dynamic file name in receiver - empty line problem with content conversion

Hi,
I do a variable substitution from a filename node in my xml structure. Because I don't want to have the the filename in my flatfile i supress the output with the conversion parameters:
filename.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
filename.fieldFixedLengths = 0
It's working but: the adapter is puting an empty line at the end of the file. If I even put the filename node at the top of the xml struture it generates the empty line at the top of the flatfile.
Anyone has an idea? is there an other way to set the filename or how can I supress this empty line( I have to) ?
Regrads
J.

Jorg,
Actually speaking we cannot get rid of this with XI. You have to write a OS script to remove this.
Else
you add one more parameter as .endSeparator as backspace ie., 0x08. It will definitely remove the line but I think it is putting a square box at the end of previous line. Please check by giving this and let us know the updates.
