Flat file to Idoc : Last line empty in payload
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to import Flat File from an external partner, and insert it in our SAP System as Idoc.
It works fine, after a small change in the flat file.
In the normal version, I have a last record with value 'OK'.
I have add the close record.lastFielsOptional in the FCC.
But after checking the payload, I have seen that I have at the end the following thing :
<ns:File xlmns:ns="http://world.com/file">
<record>
</record>
<record>
</record>
<record />
</ns:File>
Can someone explain me how to avoid to have this last <record/>, or checking it in mapping ?
Thanks a lot
Hello Greg,
The problem is that the key in the flat file is 3 digit numeric field, and OK is 2 char.
If I try to use the key, I have an error on the last record because we have only 2 char for the key, and when I put the parameter record.lastFiledsOptional : yes, i have no more error on the FCC, but the last record of the payload is empty.
Have you a possibility to avoid this error.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein we have to read the IDOC flat file and post it as IDOC to SAP using XI. I understand we have to use the Flat File Sender adapter and the IDOC Receiver Adapter. On the Sender Side we have to define the Content Conversion to convert the IDOC Flat File to IDOC XML. Writing File Content Conversion for the IDOC Flat File would be very tedious because of the number of fields and fixed structure of the flat file.
I have don through the following guide Section 3.2 where it talks abt converting IDOC to IDOC XML using reportRSEINB00.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how%20to%20convert%20between%20idoc%20and%20xml%20in%20xi%203.0.pdf
I am not clear how to invoke this report in the Flat File Sender adapter. Also is there any other approach.
Thanks
Rajeev GuptaHi Rajeev
You have a flatfile at the sender side so you dnt have any feasiable option to do other than FCC....FCC is not a tediuos one...if you can provide the strucutrre we will help you out...
Check out you have a fixedlength file or piple separated one....
In the functional design how many fields re present and buil the DT,MT MI accoprdingly.....
you have to just use some conecnt conversion parameters that's it...
item.fieldSeparator
item.endSeparator
item.fieldNames
here item is your recordset name
let us know your strucutre

in this case how could I separate the header lines from the flat file and update the details to my internal table.
kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks and regards,
M.S.Amirtharajvijay.Hi Amirthraj,
If the flat file is static (if the content within it is same for all) then use the offset concept. First get the contents of the flat file into an internal table and later find the field that has to be in final internal table within the line, calculate the offset for the line and get the value into an workarea. Finally modify/append the work area into an internal table. Also wait for other experts answers for any other hassle free way to achieve the requirement.

Converting a flat file to IDOC
Greetings to All,
I have a requirement where i need to convert an IDOC (flat) file to IDOC.
the idoc is SHPMNT04.Presently i am trying to implement it using FCC at the sender side as the flat file is fixed length type.
Can any one suggest me a better method like using XSLT or Java mapping which could make my work smarter as i am Finding it very difficult to count and write the FCC for the IDOC which is have more than 60 segments.
Any help will be greatly admired.
Thnaks,
Anika.Hi
I am still having a doubt if this method will work on real time scenario.I mean i have to pick files
from an 3rd party FTP location (polling and picking as and when i get a file starting with say
ABC*.txt).Added to this there will be issue related to the volume of file(1000 per day),will that create
any performance issues.
It is now that you are sharing the complete scenario/ problem , just have a glance from your first post at the top & the replies, because its the problem statement that steers the discussion.
Making the files available for the Report is a seperate task. You have to develop FTP-to-File XI scenario (or regular ftp process to send files across, which normally will not be allowed in XI server), I dont see any other way, if any, I 'assume' that it might complicate the situation.
Performance - it is not something to do with your scenario alone, but the overall system load, configuration etc. (b.t.w 1000 is normal)
Can we schedule a job for running the report periodically?
Yes, scehdule a batch job calling this Report (with necessary variants) with required frequency or exact time (if there is any agreement with sender)
I have started a POC
I appreciate that, best way at this moment. you can reverse engineer from the errors to configure your scenario. for any reason,if you think it does not work, you can always stop and/or look for different solution.
need your help
- Definitely I will share my thoughts, if time permits
how will i get the flat file xml(IDOC) in the source side
do you mean the source structure, you can use the same structure as your target.
once you are convinced with your solution approach, then it is better to close this thread & start a new one with new issues, for more views & suggestions and better readability.
@Rajesh - I appreciate your efforts to solve the issue , but the below is not correct & possible, w.r.t this issue
Here what you need is to do configure File Sender CC with NFS protocol.

IDOC to Flat file and Flat file to IDOC
Hello Experts,
I have the following requirement in my current project:
Third Party Sender sends the data in the in the below XML format via HTTP:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fxEnvelope>
<header>
<message>
<exchangeID></exchangeID>
<messageID></messageID>
<subject></subject>
<payloadType>IDOC</payloadType>
</message>
<from>
<orgID></orgID>
<locationID></locationID>
<messageID></messageID>
</from>
<to>
<orgID></orgID>
<locationID></locationID>
</to>
</header>
<body>
<Opaque>
<DataType></DataType>
<DataStream></DataStream>
</Opaque>
</body>
</fxEnvelope>
In the above XML, the Tag <DataStream> is a string which contains the IDOC flat file.
Now, the scenario is HTTP to IDOC, where the sender sends the above XML payload and PI needs to convert <DataStream> to IDOC XML and pass it on to the receiver R/3.
But the challange i am facing is converting this <DataStream> tag which contains the IDOC flat file to IDOC XML using a Mapping program.Since both adapters are running on ABAP stack i can not go for Adapter Modules available(We are using PI 7.10).
Looking for some guidance on the same.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Manasa.There are 2 options for you
In either case, you might need a java mapping to convert the DataStream into String. Use a file adpater to write this string to IDOC-File.
1) Option1: Write the content of DataStream into IDOC-Flatfile.(java mapping) Pick it from PI to convert IDOC-flat file inot IDOC-XML (using std features of PI) & send it to ECC.
2) Option2: Write the Content of DataStream to IDOC-Flatfile (accessible to ECC system). Configure WE21 to pick the file from a file port.
If the datastream was IDOC-XML, then it would have been simpler, it will be a direct communcation from PI to ECC (using java mapping & IDOC adapter).

I am receiving flat file in SFTP Server which need to be posted into SAP (No mapping involved)
What will be the best approach ?
1. I tried using IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor (The limitation in the format of source file. The parent and child node relationship should be explicitly mentioned in IDoc flat file which legacy system is not able to do) - Any workarounds ?
2. I moved the Idoc flat file into SAP application server. Now need to schedule job using program RSEINB00
3. File Content Conversion
Any other better solution ? Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Jose AugastineFor converting Idoc Flat file to idoc xml, ABAP mapping is one of the feasible option.

Copy one text file to another text file and delete last line
Hi all wonder if someone can help, i want to be able to copy one text file to another text file and remove the last line of the first text file. So currently i have this method:
Writer output = null;
File file = new File("playerData.xml");
try {
output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
output.write("\t" + "<player>" + "\n");
output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerName>" + playerName + "</playerName>" + "\n");
output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerScore>" + pointCount + "</playerScore>" + "\n");
output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerTime>" + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds" + "</playerTime>" + "\n");
output.write("\t" + "</player>" + "\n");
output.write("</indianaTuxPlayer>" + "\n");
output.close();
System.out.println("Player data saved!");
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}However each time the method is run i get the "</indianaTuxPlayer>" line repeated, now when i come to read this in as a java file i get errors becuase its not well formed. So my idea is to copy the original file, remove the last line of that file, so the </indianaTuxPlayer> line and then add this to a new file with the next data saved in it. So i would end up with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<indianaTuxPlayers>
<player>
<playerName>Default Player</playerName>
<playerScore>0</playerScore>
<playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
</player>
<player>
<playerName>Default Player</playerName>
<playerScore>0</playerScore>
<playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
</player>
<player>
<playerName>Default Player</playerName>
<playerScore>0</playerScore>
<playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
</player>
</indianaTuxPlayers>
However after all day searching the internet and trying ways, i have been unable to get anything working, could anyone give me a hand please?I would go the XML route too, but for fun, open a file as a BufferedWriter and do this:
void copyAllButLastLine(File src, BufferedWriter tgt) throws IOException {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(src));
try {
String previous= in.readLine();
for (String current = null; (current = in.readLine()) != null; previous=current) {
tgt.write(previous);
tgt.newLine();
} finally {
in.close();

Sender File Adapter Ignore Last Line
Hi All,
Like in Sender File Adapter configuration like we have Document Offset to specify the number of starting lines to be ignored,
Like the same way can we ignore the last line of a text file .
Regards,
RahulRahul,
><i>I somehow wait for your answer,</i>
Is that a compliment
I guess there is no standard way to ignore the last line . Like you pointed out, read the line and ignore it in the mapping!
><i>btw ..
suppose in a flat file..
i just want to read the 4th line??
is there any way i can do this?</i>
Again no straight forward way to do this. You can use KeyFields etc , but there is no direct way to do this and every solution would depend on the exact requirements!

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

File content conversion - flat file to Idoc error
Dear Experts,
I have a situation where im using FCC in the sender adapter The data is in flat file with multiple fields separated by space .
(*header444456 line4445758 header343434 line445687*) sample falt file data . should be divided as below
header - 44456 , 343434
*line - 44457578 , 445687
So i want to read the header items and pass it into header data of the IDoc and line items into line item data of the Idoc . And the header items and fields items are mixed up in the flat file . How do i read from the position 20 to 26 , 37 to 56 intermittently .And im not using any key field name . as the whole data is in one line . Any solution would be of great help .
Thanks in advance
Ganga

Edited by: N.Ganga on Jan 28, 2012 3:30 PMDear Grzegorz ,
Yes i totally agree with you it can be separated by comma . But it is as below
Header - (once ).............................................. Flat file example :
Field 1 -
>order line no 1 plant material 1 code 1 quantity 1
.......................................................................order line no 2 plant material 2 code 2 quantity 2
Field 2 (plant vlaue shuld come........................................................|
Line - repeats (0-unbounded) | | |
field 1 (line no 1)----
| | |
field 2(material1)----
| |
field 3 (quant 1)----
|
field 1 (line no 2)----
| | |
field 2(material2)----
| |
field 3 (quant 2)----
|
So i need to read the data intermittently and map them in the line items ignoring the order and plant data in every line apart from the first line. The order and plant remains the same in the flat file only line items keep changing .
Hope my question is clear .

Does anybody know how to use BW Datasources in R3 (found in transaction RSA5) to extract data to a flat file for the purpose of loading a non-SAP data warehouse?
The export file may be an IDoc.
I tried RSA3, but it seems you have to specify a "target system" which is a BW system. I simply want to use the BW extractors to extract to a file.
Thanks - I will reward points.Hi,
If it is function module based extractor then you can use the copy/modify the code (copy in case you are authorized to change it). Now at the end of the extractor write an ABAP code to download the data into a flatfile using GUI_DOWNLOAD or any suitable function module. You can use this extractor fn module in an ABAP program and schedule it everyday to create the flatfile.
If it view/table base extractor then use that in an ABAP program to create the flatfile.
Revert if you need more info.
You can find the type of extractor in RSO2 and also in the tabel ROOSOURCE.

Hi,
I have to implement a flatfile --> XI ---> IDOC scenario and I have a question about the mapping.
Suppose I have a Flat Fiel as following with the first 2columns as key:
100991;001;text1;posting date
100991;002;text2;posting date
100992;001;text4;posting date
100992;002;text6;posting date
I have to pass this items to a IDOC strucutured with header and positions.
By mapping how can I group key data to pass to single Idoc?
Thanks
marcoHi ,
I have done it with ORDERS IDOC Structure .
Since the source is a flat file you could take a simple structure with row and all the fields following it ( say filed1 , field2, field3).
Take a bottom up approach for the child :
Change the context of all the individual fields to the root then apply split by value on field3 ( this introduces context changes )
Then format its parents Queue (Field2) based on Field3 Queue for this use the function Format By Example .
Use the resulting queue as one of the argument and Field1 to generate the link .
Using Graphical this requirement is achievable . How ever it is upto your ease to choose which way you want to do it .
Thanks & Regards

Unsorted Flat File into IDoc with multiple use of nodes
Hi Experts!
I am facing a little problem. I have a source flat file for a classification where some fields appear several times.
My source flat file looks like this:
item1; field1a
item2; fieldA
item3; fieldxa
item1; field1b
as you can see the item1 exists twice (further appearances are also possible).
Now i have to map the flat file into an IDoc structure
My target IDoc looks like this
Header
-- node1
attribute1
-- node2
the "field1a" and "field1b" has to be mapped into the "attribute1" in "node1". "node1" has to be duplicated for each time an "item1" appears (.. and if item2, item3 etc. appears twice, three ... four times...).
So how can i reach it that the node1 will be duplicated automatically when an item appears twice or more times? I know that it could be possible to work with "SplitByValue"... but for this i need all item1 in an straight order.... but i dont have them in a correct order.
I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
UdoComplex sorting is not or not easy possible with the grafical mapping tool.
Use a sequence mapping. The first mapping is a simple XSLT which does the sort. The second mapping works as usual.
I have an example XSLT which I used for a different purpose:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ORDERLIST>
<xsl:for-each select="ORDERLIST/ITEM">
<xsl:sort select="ID"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</ORDERLIST>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
