FileSender Adapter - Recordset Structure Problem

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to create a recordset structure in the FileSender Adapter for a flatfile where certain Record Types might reoccur.
The source structure is as follows:
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:F:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:H:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:S:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:T:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:N:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:T:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:F:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:H:100:0011:                :0000000000000000
3222:003:051201:093056:7596:001:N:100:0011:                :0000000000000000

The Key Field is the F, H etc. A new record should be created for every F value. I specified the following Recordset Structure on the adapter: HRecord,,SRecord,,TRecord,,NRecord,,FRecord,1
I am getting the following error message: missing structure(s) before type 'TRecord' on the Adapter. It works fine if the T record does not repeat after the N record. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rudi

RecordSet Structure Sequence Variable in JMS like in File Adapter

Hi all,
We are having some problems trying to find how to implement the functionality of the variable recordset structure in a JMS adapter.
We do have a structure with this form:
HR - data
AR - data
AR - data
HR - data
The two first chars are the keyfield, and our comm channel is just ignoring the second occurence of the Header (HR).
In a File adapter, we would use the Recordset Sequence = Variable parameter but, is there anything similar for the JMS adapter?
Thanks in advance, Iñaki.

Hi Kamesh,
I believe it's a namespace issue, pls check namespace of your consumed message and one used in your transformation..should match.
Test your xslt separately (by including correct namespaces,especially in tag <element1> ... source in ur xslt)

Recordset structure in receiver communication channel

Hi gurus!
I have a problem with my receiver communication channel it says "Unknown structure 'Headers' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'"
It's for sure that the problem is in the configuration of the adapter.
My scenario is from iDoc to File and i need to write only one header and many Lines, i made the data type like:
Headers
---Header
Lines
---Line
And the problem is in the configurarion of the recordset structure and the lines below.
If you know another way better to make the data type to acommplish what i've to do, just tell me I just made it that way because i thought it could work.
If something is not clear just let me know, what i more need is the config. of the receiver adapter.
Thanx in advance.
Juan

Hi Juan
If i understand correctly .. you are doing FCC on your receiver communication channel...and the following is your Target Data type
Headers
---Header
Lines
---Line
and FCC parameters you created are as below
Recordset structure: Headers,Header,Lines,Line
Header.fieldSeparator \r\n
Header.endSeparator \r\n
Line.fieldSeparator \r\n
Line.endSeparator \r\n
If the above data is correct, then I would like you try out the FCC parameters in my previous post. Because in the FCC parameters, you used only substructures(Header and Line) and you did not mention the lists ( Headers and Lines). That's why i think it is errored out.
If my interpretation is wrong, please let me know where i went wrong, i will try to look at again.

'*' in the recordset structure resulting no val's for fieldFixedLengths

'*' in one of the recordset structure resulting no values for fieldFixedLengths
Dear All, I have a strange (at least, strange to me) problem in file content conversion in sender file adapter.
I have Data type with following structures
DT_FLAT_IN
-Struc1 (0..1)
--FKEY
--FVAL
-Struc2 (0..1)
--FKEY
--FVAL
-Struc3 (0..1)
--FKEY
--FVAL
-Struc4 (0..Unbounded)
--FKEY
--FLD1
--FLD2
--FLD3
Flat File i get is like this
KEY1 1234567
KEY2 2343434
KEY345 XVD
102003171979SS^^
in the content conversion, i have 2 sets of parameters (this is FTP and ContentConv)
ignoreRecordsetName -> true
Struc1.fieldFixedLengths -> 8,12
Struc1.fieldNames -> FKEY,FVAL
Struc1.processConfiguration ->FromConfiguration
Struc1.keyFieldValue -> KEY1
Struc1.lastFieldsOptional -> YES
Struc1.keyFieldInStructure ->ignore
Struc1.endSeparator ->'nl'
Pretty much same for Struc2 and Struc3 but the struc4 has different set of parameters as this
has the separator instead of fixed length.
Struc4.fieldSeparator -> ^
Struc4.fieldNames -> FKEY,FLD1,FLD2,FLD3
Struc4.processConfiguration ->FromConfiguration
Struc4.keyFieldValue -> 1020
Struc4.lastFieldsOptional -> YES
Struc4.keyFieldInStructure ->ignore
Struc4.endSeparator ->'nl'
The problem is if I specify * in recordset structure field then i don't see any of the
Struc1, Struc2, Struc3 values in inbound message payload.
for example: Struc1,1,Struc2,1,Struc3,1,Struc4,*
or
Struc1,1,Struc2,*,Struc3,1,Struc4,1
If i change it to 1 then i see the values in inbound payload for everything in the file.
For example: Struc1,1,Struc2,1,Struc3,1,Struc4,1
I have gone through the blogs,SDN forum, SAP Help for parameters as well as google but i couldnt find
anything that solves this problem.
Please let me know what i am missing or is there any order in Parameter specifications?
I have added/removed parameters (Trial and error) but couldnt figured it out on my own.
Any help regarding this is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. After a long struggle, i was able to figure it out the problem and the solution may not be appropriate but at least working for me.
fixedFieldLengths was 8,12 but i have changed it to the length of the value... in my scenario, for example, the value is 'YES' - though the length will be 8 including spaces, i have changed it to 3 from 8.
Somehow, this worked and i am, now, able to use * for other structures.
Just in case, if anyone has the problem.

ERROR consistency check in recordset structure

Hello All,
Below is my input file format looks like:
HEADER
REC_1
REC_1
REC_1
REC_2
FOOTER
And I have defined the Recordset structure as HEADER,1,REC_1,*,REC_2,*,FOOTER,1.But the occurence of REC_2 is optional (0 to Unbounded).
Conversion of file content to XML failed at
position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR consistency check in recordset structure
validation (line no. 4: missing structure(s) before type 'HEADER'
It looks like the error is due to missing REC_2 segment in the input file.
Can you please tell me how to handle this in FCC
Thanks,

Hi Naresh
IMHO, I don't think that the error is due to missing REC_2 in the input file.
From SAP library, * includes also 0 occurence.
Converting Text Format in the Sender File/FTP Adapter to XML - Configuring the File/FTP Adapter in Integration Directory…
Under Recordset Structure, enter the sequence and the number of substructures as follows:<NameA,nA,NameB,nB,...>, where nA=1,2,3,... or * (for a variable, unlimited number, including 0).
Please provide screenshot of your FCC configuration and also sample input file that is causing the error so that it can be analysed further.

Recordset Structure value

Hi !
I need to enter a value for the number of records in the Recordset Structure in the Content Conversion Parameters of the File Adapter. The records should be atleast one with a possibility of more than one records ....... in other words - one or more than one records. I do not want to enter 'fieldName, ' as '' could also equal zero records. What would be the correct syntax ?
Cheers,
Ashok.

File Content Conversion - Recordset Structure required??

Hi,
I have a File Sender Communication Channel (CC) to convert very simple csv format to XI data type (XML).
The contect of csv file will look something like this and will always have one line per file.
111,222,333,444,555
And I have defined the Data Type/Message Type with 5 fields as follows:
Sender_DT
---F1
---F2
---F3
---F4
---F5
Assuming that I'll always get one line of data in a csv file, I don't really need to set Recordset Structure in Content Conversion Paramters of File Sender CC but it is required parameter so you can't save it without populating this parameter.
I understand that I can add a recordset to my DT so that it will look like below and type in Recordset in the Recordset Structure parameter but wanted to see if there is any other way to go around this without adding Recordset to DT.
Sender_DT
---Recordset
F1
F2
F3
F4
F5
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
You are correct. You can't have a struct like
DT_SOURCE
--F1
--F2
--F3
You need another node with in DT_SOURCE like recordset
DT_SOURCE
-Recordset
--F1
--F2
--F3
If you don't get multiple lines in source file, you can simpl set the Recordset occurance to 1..1 but it is mandatory.

Jai Shankar

Sender FCC with unbounded RecordSet Structure produces Empty File

Hi Experts,
My scenario is File (FTP) to IDoc, using FCC on the sender.
The source file is a flat file representation of the IDoc e.g. with the segment names preceeding each record row.
FCC parameters are as follows:
RecordSet Name: Z1RECORDSETNAME
RecordSet Structure: EDI_DC,1,E1TPDLH,1,Z1TPI2H,1,E1TPACC,E1TPTRM,,E1EDT13,,E1TPDIH,1,Z1TPI2HD,1,E1TPNOT,*
RecordSet Sequence: Variable OR Ascending
.fieldFixedLengths
.fieldNames
.keyFieldValue
.endSeparator
.keyFieldInStructure
above parameters are used in all segments, except in E1TPNOT where ignoreRecordsetName is added
My issue is when the test file contains more than 1 value for the unbounded segments E1TPTRM, E1EDT13 (e.g. 3 row values for E1TPTRM and 2 row values for E1EDT13) the Content Conversion succesfully finishes but produces an Empty File (size = 0)
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Am i missing something in the parameters to be able to support the current file structure?
Kindly share your ideas/solution
I've tried to edit the test file to have only 1 record value for the unbounded segments and it is succesfull and does not produce an empty file.

Try giving
EDI_DC,1,E1TPDLH,1,Z1TPI2H,1,E1TPACC,E1TPTRM, * ,E1EDT13, * ,E1TPDIH,1,Z1TPI2HD,1,E1TPNOT,*
I got it, i guess even you have given the astrix after E1TPTRM and E1EDT13 and it changed to bold.
Ok ignore my answer.

>ERROR consistency check in recordset structure validation (line no. 7: missing structure(s) in last recordset". Any idea, what when wrong?
When you are not sure about number of records for RecordHeader and RecordDetail, Please specify wildchar character. Dont give max numbers. The errors says expecting the specified number for recordset and since it is missing gives errror.

IMac (March 2009) - Invalid Node Structure problem

Hi All
I was using my iMac as normal yesterday, when suddenly the system ground to a halt (something I never seen since using OS X). As I had work to do, after about an hour, I restarted, expecting it to be an app misbehaving or something straight forward, but on restart the same thing happened almost straight away.
So, I restarted again, only for the iMac to get stuck on the blue screen which follows the grey 'cog' screen. After looking through these discussions, and some other Mac forums, I booted from the installer disk, tried to run Disk Utility, which found issues and couldn't repair the disk.
I then tried Safe-User mode and fsck, which reported the aforementioned Invalid Node Structure problem. After checking a few more forums, I thought I would try to Erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS. I restored from my Time Machine backup, and finally got it to start, but the system moved at a snail's pace, and wouldn't open any apps or files.
I've tried again with fsck, and also fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s2 but all I get is the same error message:
disk0s2: I/O error.
Invalid Node Structure
(4, 38403)
** Volume check failed.
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
So, does anyone know if there is anything I can do to save the iMac? Or does it need a new HD? It is my primary work computer, so I really need to get it back, and after buying it in the UK, am now in France for 6 weeks, so it's difficult for me to take it to an Apple specialist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,
Daniel

As the last user stated, Disk Warrior maybe able to correct it, however if you search the net, you will see there are more than one user with this problem. I had the same problem, however, my machine is out of warranty, It started like you are saying, I RAN disk warrior which corrected the problem long enough to boot the system. In a matter of 10 minutes or so, the system started pausing (apps hung, but in a matter of seconds recovered). I was checking the disk with fsck_hfs and fsck while booted from a USB drive with a maintenance install of 10.5.6. After running fsck the 5th time with different options suggested from the internet, I rebooted with my disk warrior DVD only to find the drive NOT mounted, Drive utility see's it (even can attempt to run disk repair, but it locks up the system when trying this). Disk Warrior doesn't even see the disk to run a directory repair, although in the "check s.m.a.r.t status it sees it as a sata device, and SAYS ITS NORMAL).
Since my iMac was out of warranty, I followed the online instructions to replace the hard drive (not too difficult) and everything is fine now.
The old drive still wont mount, but another utility I bought (data rescue II) has been able to quick scan it and access all the data, even though it wont clear a fsck fsck_hfs or disk warrior, anyways, get it back while you can, IT IS THE hard drive itself, and lots of other iMac users online with the same issue (can you say WHY is my iMac SOOO HOT on the apple in the back (right where the drive is and not sufficient cooling in my opinion, but hey, some people might want to lay their computers face down and fry eggs on the it or something... ))

Recordset structure

From the help
Under Recordset Structure, enter the sequence and the number of substructures as follows: <NameA,nA,NameB,nB,...>.
Where, nA=1,2,3,... or * (for a variable, unlimited number, including 0).
Can anybody give me examples .......of M/T structure for nA=1, 2 and * (star) ?? Actually I wan to know when to use numbers(nA=1, 2 etc) and when to use ' * ' .
thanks

FCC Recordset structure question.

Hi,
I have completed the config for scenarion File>XI>IDOC(R/3)
After activating the File comm channel, the message coming out of XI (in sxmb_moni) has the following error
'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected'
I want to know:
1> Does the Recordset-structure field names (defined in .fieldNames) need to match exactly with the Data_type structure defined in IR. Currently my Data_type in IR does not have a key field, which I have introduced in the FCC keyField parameter.
2>I have generated all my ID config by importing 'Integration Scenario' from IR and this has resulted in Automatic Creation of HTTP, RFC, IDOC,XI Receiver channels. ( GeneratedReceiverChannel_HTTP, GeneratedReceiverChannel_RFC, GeneratedReceiverChannel_IDOC, GeneratedReceiverChannel_XI ). Do I require all of these to be active?

○ add
Outbound structure contains all fields from the configuration; the fields missing in the inbound structure are empty.
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
2. NameA.additionalLastFields
If the inbound structure has more fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
○ ignore
Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
The default value is ignore. If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter, the default value is error.
If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter and do not set either of the parameters described above, apart from the default values, the conversion routine works the same as described under Handling Structure Deviations.
Only once you set one of the two parameters will the other parameter be evaluated with its default value.
To ensure a well-defined runtime behavior for variable inbound structures, we recommend that you always set both parameters.

SAP Adapter has a problem, SOD violations will not be checked

Hi,
In our ides server whenever i click save button in su01 i get the following error ,
"SAP Adapter has a problem, SOD violations will not be checked !
Please check with your system Administrator
Technical Info:
Error when opening an RFC connection "
we didn't have this problem before . can anybody help me to resolve the issue
Also I am getting this error only if I click save in su01. in other t code. I don't get this error
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: gajula jhansi on Apr 11, 2011 11:28 AM

You need to restart your sap adapter in GRC front end from configurations tab-->Sap adapter >choose the one for your back end system> if it's grayed out or even green still, click on it and let it restart and turn green again.
Then you go back to your backend ECC system and in SM59 , choose the RFC connection for the Risk Terminator (the one you have saved in the Risk Terminator transaction /VIRSA/ZRTCNFG in backend system).. and test the connection. It should pass the connection test if your adapter is working and set up correctly. Then when you do save in SU01 or make changes in PFCG and have Risk Terminator activated for the backend system, it will check the SOD violations against those transactions from RAR front end.
If you don't want Risk Terminator to check for SOD violations in front end RAR, then you need to set your settings to 'NO' for all in the Risk Terminator transaction. You can get all this info in the GRC config guide for RAR and SPM area.

FileToIDoc-Scenario: Additional level in recordset structure

Hello,
can I configure the content conversions of the Fileadapter in a way, that an additional level will be inserted (e.g. group1 or group2) ?
I want to get the following structure:
==========================
<recordset>
....<header>
....</header>
....<group1>
........<NameA>
............<field1>....</field1>
........</NameA>
........<NameB>
............<field2>....</field2>
........</NameB>
....</group1>
....<group2>
........<NameC>
............<field3>....</field3>
........</NameC>
....</group2>
</recordset>
At the "Recordset Structure" I would have expected a structure like:
=> header,1,group1(NameA,,NameB,),group2(NameC,*)
Does such a kind of notation exist?
Thanks in advance for any hints...
