Flat file mandatory field mapping problem

Hi Guys,
I am mapping xml to the positional flat file.
There is only one field in the output FF 'provider_state' which is not being mapped.
As a change I added new field after the provider_state.
My problem is that the provider_state with length 2 is not produced in the output as blank spaces to match the position flat file.
However, I have tried creating the record using xslt and also tried to add default 'spacespace' in the schema, tried mapping 'spacespace' in the outpt.
When I try to add space2 I get CRLF in the output at the filed position.
In short last field '%' should be at 733 position but it is at 731.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Dhiraj,
This is by design and
You may want to change provider_id to attribute if its element.

Flat File to XML mapping Problem

I am facing some issues in mapping from flat file to XML. I have not reached to the stage of actually executing the scenario and the problem has not advanced beyond mapping tests.

Creating dynamical flat file name in mapping?

Hi.
I know about the variations on how to use an input parameter and/or sysdate to create a dynamic output file name in a mapping.
My challenge is nearly the same, but I cannot make OWB generate the correct code.
Problem:
- got a one column table that holds an identifier in a string field
- got a function that reads and returns said identifier
- imported function into OWB
- trying to use the function call in the Flat File Operator's Target Data File Name, e.g. fixedfilename||fn_get_id()||sysdate||'.ext
OWB creates the code:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||fn_get_id()||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
However, when compiling the package code, it returns the warning:
ORA-06550: PACKAGE BODY, line 2214, column 29: PLS-00201: identifier 'FN_GET_ID' must be declared
which results in an error when trying to execute the mapping.
I've tried substituting the function call in the FOPEN call:
myId := fn_get_id();
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||myId||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
and this works fine, the mapping creates a file with the desired filename. But obviously not a good solution rewriting the generated code all the time....
Anyone solved something similar?
Could I use an input parameter and the autogenerated function GET_<PARAMETER>?
But can I set the value of an input parameter inside the very same mapping?
Regards,
-Haakon-

(It always helps writing out one's problems...)
I managed to get it working :-)
Added an input parameter to the mapping, and gave the outgroup variable a default value by calling my imported function.
Then concatenated the implicitly generated function (GET_PARAMETER) in the Target Data flat file name.
I now have a target file name that changes according to a departement id stored in a parameter table.

-Haakon-

Flat file to idoc mapping issue

Hi Gurus,
i had a flat file format in sender side as below:
H_ID     TYP_CODE    line_elemet      Quantity
5896 STANDARD                       1.transmitter    1
5896                  STANDARD       2.xxxxxxxxx           1
5896                   STANDARD      3.yyyyyyyyy 2
6895                  STANDARD       1.aaaaaaaaa        1
9436                  STANDARD       1.bbbbbbbbb          4
9436                  STANDARD       2.ggggggggg          3
The above file need to be send to an Idoc.
for which same header_ID values should create only one header segment, under that many a line segments should create as many line items appear on that header_id value.
Here my query is how to suppress the repetetive header values to create onlyone header segment. And how to create as many line_item segments as the number of line items appear.
points obvoius for the response
Thanks in advance,
Sekhar.

XI Flat File to JDBC Mapping Error

Hi,
I have been trying to insert some records from a flat file into a sybase database using the FILE adapter (with file content conversion) as a sender and the JDBC adapter as a reciever, but I keep getting mapping errors like:
RuntimeException during appliction Java mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_mm_hh_file__hh_sybase_nombres_</Trace>
<Trace level="1" type="T">com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:mt_hh_sybase_nombres/STATEMENTNAME. Check xml instance is valid for source xsd and target-field mapping fulfills requirements of target xsd at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.start
I have read through some blogs and I still can't figure out what is wrong.
Flat pipe separated file:
Hans|Robert|Hahn|Gallegos
Karina|Maria|Cordoba|Gutierrez
Datatype for this file looks like this:
   Record                         1
      Row                          1...Unbounded
         Nombre                  1
         SegundoNombre     1
         ApPaterno              1
         ApMaterno             1
Because the FILE adapter uses Content conversion, the file translates to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns:hh_test xmlns:ns="http://me.com">
<Record>
     <Row>
      <Nombre>Hans</Nombre>
        <SegundoNombre>Robert</SegundoNombre>
        <ApPaterno>Hahn</ApPaterno>
        <ApMaterno>Gallegos</ApMaterno>
     </Row>
     <Row>
       <Nombre>Karina</Nombre>
       <SegundoNombre>Maria</SegundoNombre>
       <ApPaterno>Cordoba</ApPaterno>
       <ApMaterno>Gutierrez</ApMaterno>
     </Row>
    </Record>
</ns:hh_test>
My database table looks like this:
Nombres
ApPaterno
ApMaterno
Datatype for this table looks like this:
STATEMENTNAME    1..Unbounded
nombres                  1
    action                    optional
    TABLE                  1
    access                  1
      Nombres             1
      ApPaterno           1
      ApMaterno           1
MAPPINGS as follows:
Record ------> no mapping
Row ------> STATEMENTNAME
Constant ------> action
Constant ------> TABLE
Nombre + SegundoNombre ------> Nombres
ApPaterno ----> ApPaterno
ApMaterno ----> ApMaterno
How do I do the mapping ? I've been through a lot of blogs and threads but I haven't found an example like this, a flat pipe separeted multiline file with records to be inserted in a database.

        Hans Hahn

Hans,
The error shows you have an error in mapping. Also you have mapped constant for ACTION and TABLE. Here you have to hardcode the value INSERT or UPDATE etc for ACTION and the name of the table for TABLE.
Check this weblog where he has mentioned everything what you are looking for:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/06/01/file-to-jdbc-adapter-using-sap-xi-30
Also once when you are done with mapping try to execute it in the test tab of mapping editor.

IDoc to Flat file scenario - abap mapping

Hi All,
I have to do some IDOC to Flat file scenarios. In Order to generate the file in required format I will have to add all segments(Nodes) of Idoc in FCC receiver. We also have other option of doing it through ABAP Mapping which I found in one blog.
Now my question is : Is it better way of doing it through FCC or ABAP Mapping?
Ofcourse from development point of view ABAP Mapping looks easier as FCC is very time consuming task.
Is there and performance issues in either of the approach?
Thanks and Regards,
Atul

Hi VJ and Harald,
Thanks for your replies.
I am not having PI7.1 however the given blog was very informative.
I will try using file port approach as suggested.
Thanks and Regards,
Atul

Flat File to IDOC Mapping requirement to generate Multiple Segments

Hi Experts,
I got a requirement were i have 2 records in a file and i need to generate 2 IDOCs with multiple segments in it.
FILE :
10/01/2010     101 KRNA     ic_quantity          30-0257     3526     1     1     ea     110000     10
10/01/2010     101     KRNA     ic_quantity          90-0005     3526     1     2     ea     110000     10
Idoc should generate 2 IDOCs with multiple segments as shown below
I have imported the IDOC and changed the occurrence to " unbounded "
The Basic IDOC Type : WMMBID02
I need to generate Multiple segments of E1MBXY1
i.e.., First IDOC should contain two E1MBXY1 segments
         Second IDOC should contain Four E1MBXY1 segments
IDOC1 :   WMMBID02
Segment :   E1MBXY1( 2 segments)
10/01/2010     101     KRNA     ic_quantity          30-0257     3526     1     1     ea     110000     10

IDOC2 : WMMBID02
Segment : E1MBXY1 ( 4 segments)
10/01/2010     101     KRNA     ic_quantity          30-0257     3526     1     1     ea     110000     10

Can anyone suggest me how to generate IDOCs with multiple segments
what are multiple ways of generating it
Whether it can be achieved using Multi-mapping or I need go for UDF
If any one has done has done this type of requirement ,please share the points.
Thanks
Sai

Basically you need to generate idoc per record in the flat file. During fcc conversion you convert flat file to xml structure at the sender side. In the mapping use xml file structure source and idoc as receiver structure. You just export idoc and update the idoc segment 1 to unbounded. Please follow the michael blog for file to idoc multimapping without bpm. Yes without bpm it is possible.
see this link... This will answer your requirement.

>Whether it can be achieved using Multi-mapping or I need go for UDF
you dont need udf for this.

Field mapping problem using EntityManager.refresh(...) and @SecondaryTable

I am experiencing an exception indicating a missing mapping for a field. My problem is that I have a mapping! I suspect the problem has something to do with the fact the field in question is also the @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the refresh() method code since the find() method works with no problem? Thanks in advance.

What database are you using? My guess is that the database you are using returns field names in Uppercase. While the database may not be case sensitive, most databases will convert the field names to either all upper or lower case when returning the metadata - which associates the fields to the values. In this case, it is looking for a value for "issue_id" in the returned results, when I suspect that the database returned a value for "ISSUE_ID". Try having your column names match what the database will return and see if you still get problems.
The other part to this problem is that it does not appear mapped correctly. The primarykeyJoincolumn isn't using primary key fields (CUSIP_nbr is specified as the id), and you have a join table also using the "issue_id" field, so it really should be the id. Either way, the Secondary table is specifying f_ISSUE.issue_id to be a foreign key to f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id, and so the getFkIssueID annotation should be marked insertable=true, updateable =true and the annotation on getIssueID marked insertable=false, updatable=false,since it is set through the f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id field. Fixing this will also likely resolve the issue - the error says it can't find a mapping for the f_COUPON_INFO.issue_id but from looking at the code, what I believe it means is that it can't find a writable mapping. Reading this over again, it looks very confusing but I dont know if I can explain it much better. The field f_COUPON_INFO needs to be writeable and set by the application because you have marked it as controlling the field in f_ISSUE. The field in f_ISSUE needs to be read only, because the value is set/controlled by the value in f_COUPON_INFO.

File to Idoc Mapping Problem

Hi all,
i'm getting an error from SXMB_MONI in a scenario File to Idoc.
I have done the mapping from source file and Idoc CREMAS03, when i try to test from Integration Repository it's all ok, but when the scenario is executed i find this error in Idoc Adapter :
<SAP:P1>MSGGUID EF7E2140A08811DDBE1202004C4F4F50: Tag #TEXT found instead of tag IDOC BEGIN=</SAP:P1>
The field BEGIN in idoc structure is filled with constant value 1, than i dont understand the error.
This is the xml source file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:Vendor xmlns:ns0="urn:tbit40:workshop:group01:legacy">
- <Address>
<Country>IT</Country>
<Zip>001</Zip>
<City>ROMA</City>
<Street>SATTA</Street>
</Address>
<Currency>USD</Currency>
<SearchTerm>TEST</SearchTerm>
<LastName>GUIDA</LastName>
<VendorNumber>44332</VendorNumber>
</ns0:Vendor>
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all and thanks for your answer.
My problem is that for what i can see all Idoc attribute (like the attribute BEGIN) are mapped with constant value.
In taget source i can see : BEGIN = Constant([value=1])
What i dont understand is why when i execute the scenario it ends with this message :
<SAP:P1>MSGGUID EF7E2140A08811DDBE1202004C4F4F50: Tag #TEXT found instead of tag IDOC BEGIN=</SAP:P1>
It seem to me that the tag BEGIN is not filled with value, i also tried to copy the source xml file directly from SXMB_MONI (from payload) and test it in Integration Repository mapping section, but here is all ok and the test end succesfully.

Flat file to idoc - mapping

Gurus,
I have a flat txt file of following format
Doc#         Whse        Item          Matnr         date                       code
3256999     WH20     1001     861927     09/12/200713:24     9596     2
3256999     WH20     1002     861928     09/12/200713:24     9596     2
3256999     WH20     1003     861929     09/12/200713:24     9596     2

The first 2 columns are header fields rest all are item fields. How do i map this to an Idoc, so as to move doc# and whse to header segment and rest of columns to add multiple item segments on the same idoc ? So for above file i should get 2 idocs only.

Do your want the source and target structures to resemble the structures below?
Source:-
<source_file>
<row_1>
<item_a>
<item_b>
<item_c>
</row_1>
<row_2>
<item_p>
<item_q>
<item_r>
</row_2>
<row_3>
<item_x>
<item_y>
<item_z>
</row_3>
</source_file>
Target:-
<target_idoc>
<item_a>
<item_b>
<item_c>
<item_p>
<item_q>
<item_r>
<item_x>
<item_y>
<item_z>
</target_idoc>
If so, then all you need to do is to use the node function: "remove context" for all the items under your rows. In other words,do the following mapping:-
*source_file mapped to target_idoc
*map each of the items under all the three rows in the following way:-
"source item" mapped to "remove context" (node function) mapped to (corresponding) "target item".
Also check the occurences for each of your variables in both source and target structures.

Appending ns1: in Every field[MAPPING PROBLEM]

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem when generating the output XML file. The file is generating in XML format with an additional ns1 in each line.
Any idea on this guys.
<b>
<ns1:iABC xmlns:ns1="http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
<ns1:header>
     <ns1:flow>ACT</ns1:flow>
     <ns1:sender name="XYZ">
     </ns1:sender>
     <ns1:receiver name="PQR">
     </ns1:receiver>
     <ns1:generationDate>2008-05-19</ns1:generationDate>
     <ns1:fileIdent>2008/05/19T13:32:00</ns1:fileIdent>
</ns1:header>
<ns1:ID ="0000000000000000000000012"></b>
Many Thanks,
JGD
Edited by: JGD on May 19, 2008 2:56 PM

Hi Stefan.
Well, the answer is "no"
According to XML spec both declarations
<iABC xmlns="http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
and
<ns:iABC xmlns=ns:"http://www.ABC.com/xmlschema/ABC/">
are semantically identical.
Any standard xml parser will work with both declarations the same way. The mapping tool always use the first way.
Sometimes legacy systems use "xml like" format with some special restrictions.
In this case the only way to handle that is to use workarounds like with the anonymizer bean.
Another problem I'm aware of is the target file encoding. That's "not officially" solved with hidden menu which you can see if you hold CTRL+SHIFT keys and right click on data flow editor. The last menu item is "encoding" - you can set the encoding of the resulting xml there

Trasnformation File..fields mapping..

I am getting some fields from the data field, which I don't need for BPC7NW. For example out of 10 fields 2 field is not required for BPC, but my source system file has these fields.
How to tell the system to ignore this field and load the remaining. because currently my load is failing with message that few of the legacy fields are not mapped.
Appreciate the inputs..

Hi
well the mapping can be done as follows:
lets say u have 5 fields in your source file and u need only 3 out of them....
BPC Fields                          Source Fields
ID      =                                       *COL(1)
CO_AREA   =                            *COL(2)
BUS_AREA    =                         *COL(4)
so in the above example u have mapped only required fields from source to target BPC dimensions.U need not to specify anything to ignore if you do not the map the field then it is automatically ignored so as per the above mapping source columns 3 and 5 are ignored.

I tried a file to file simple scenario using FCC on the Sender Side,but I repeatedly get a message mapping error.
I tried changing the different parameters in filesender file adapter, checked message mapping for errors .
1.My Mapping is Correct.
2.The parameters in the FCC are correct.
Is there any way where we can debug the the Message Error.

How to create a target flat file in a mapping?

Hi,
I defined a Target location tar_loc (D:\target), a file modul and a file with location tar_loc and file name target_file.
In a mapping I try to use this file as a target.
After validating I get the message: VLD-2357: The name of the target file for target_file is missing.
What to do?
Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas
Set the target data file name when you configure the mapping on the file ooperator, see;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/06/some_tips_and_hints_about_xml.html
Also this one is interesting for dynamic file names;

Problem Experts OWB 10gR2 - Mapping with OMB - Give a name to the flat file

I'm trying to create a mapping in OWB by using the Experts (OMB),
where the data source is a database table and the target is a flat file (to transform a table to a flat file).
The tasks of my Experts :
This task create a mapping, and add a existing table on it.
     OMBCC '$thepath'
     catch {OMBDROP MAPPING 'M1'}
     OMBCREATE MAPPING 'M1'
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD $INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT_TYPE OPERATOR '$thetable' \
     BOUND TO $INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT_TYPE \ '$INITIAL_LAUNCH_CONTEXT' \
This task change the context and create a flat file
     OMBCC '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE'
     catch {OMBDROP FLAT_FILE 'NEW_FILE'}
     OMBCREATE FLAT_FILE 'NEW_FILE' \
     SET PROPERTIES (DATA_FILE_NAME) VALUES('fichier_genere.txt')
This task add the flat file to the mapping, and create a connection between the source (table) and the target (flat file)
     OMBCC '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/MOD_SRC_LABO'
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD FLAT_FILE OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE'\
     BOUND TO FLAT_FILE '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE/NEW_FILE' \
     OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
     ADD CONNECTION FROM GROUP 'INOUTGRP1' OF OPERATOR '$thetable' \
     TO GROUP 'NEW_FILE' OF OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' COPY ALL
This task update the flat file structure
     OMBRECONCILE MAPPING 'M1' OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' \
     TO FLAT_FILE '/PRJ_LABO_PHARMA/SRC_FILE/NEW_FILE' \
     USE (RECONCILE_STRATEGY 'REPLACE', MATCHING_STRATEGY 'MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID')
Then I have a task which execute this mapping.
Everything is good, but during the execution I have a error VLD-2357 : The target file's name is not indicated for the file NEW_FILE.
I don't know how to give a name to the flat file in OMB.
Help me please.
Best regards
Samy

Just like if you built this in the UI where you would have to configure the flat file operator and define a target data file name and possibly the location these properties should be set in scripting.
Set the property TARGET_DATA_FILE_NAME to the name of the data file.
Something like....
OMBALTER MAPPING 'M1' \
MODIFY FLAT_FILE OPERATOR 'NEW_FILE' SET PROPERTIES (TARGET_DATA_FILE_NAME) VALUES ('my_datafile.csv')
