hi vijay ,
Can you plz tell what is the requirment, you are using<b> FCC in Receiver communication channel.</b> Do you want to change your XML file into comma separated structure ,if yes then give all parameters of FCC like Recordset structure and DocumentName etc...
If you want XML structure in receiver file so go NSP in Receiver communication channel not go for FCC.
and if you want FCC to FCC so give proper parameter in Receiver Communication Channel
hope this will help, if any problem plz do ask.
regards
HONEY

Now i need to get data from text file into only line element..My ID element should be blank..XML should have ID element but it should not be populated from input file.How to get this using FCC..Is there any parameters for this?
Can anyone give some useful ideas

Limitations of File Content Conversion (FCC)

Hi
I want to know the Limitations of File Content Conversion (FCC) while defining for a particular structure.
I was bit confused from the [SAP Help |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm]
It says "There can be a fixed or variable number of substructures in a recordset." but from sdn i found
[Content Conversion in File Adapter |Content Conversion in File Adapter]
It will support "A maximum of 3 hierarchy level will be supported in FCC"
Is <recordset> Mandatetory in for FCC, what if we dont have <recordset> in the structure.
Till what hierarchy level it supports
what is the limitation of FCC
Regards,
Varun
Edited by: Varun Reddy on Feb 26, 2009 4:52 PM

Varun,
Both statements are true:
Consider, for instance, a file containing orders. You could have:
HEADER;123;456;11112 (containing sender 123, receiver 456, order number 11112)
PARTNER;OR;234 (containing the ordering partner number 234)
PARTNER;DL;235 (containing the delivery address 235)
DATE;OR;20090226 (containing the order date 26/02/2009)
DATE;DL;20090228 (containing the delivery date 28/02/2009)
LINE;9998;12 (article number 9998, quantity 12)
LINE;9996;25 (article number 9996, quantity 25)
LINE;9991;3 (article number 9991, quantity 3)
HEADER;123;456;11113 (2nd order containing sender 123, receiver 456, order number 11113)
PARTNER;OR;234 (containing the ordering partner number 234)
PARTNER;DL;237 (containing the delivery address 237)
DATE;OR;20090226 (containing the order date 26/02/2009)
DATE;DL;20090301 (containing the delivery date 01/03/2009)
LINE;9998;4 (article number 9998, quantity 4)
Parsing such a file with FCC would be possible, provided there's an identifier that indicates the type of line (like 'HEADER', 'PARTNER', etc). This is an example of There can be a variable number of substructures in a recordset.
If the records do not contain an identifier from which you can see the line type, FCC can only parse this if the order of the various structure types is fixed, so that it can determine from the line number what type of record this is. This would be an example of There can be a fixed number of substructures in a recordset.
Now, about A maximum of 3 hierachy level will be supported in FCC. In the FCC, there are three levels: the recordset (one order in the above example), the record (a line in the file) and the field (the order number, for instance). The FCC does not support files with deeper nesting. For instance, if a line item in your flat file could also contain a delivery date, FCC does not support this.
Hope this helps,
Koen

Hi Dhanush,
                    It is better always if u have a structure with Header and trailers if u have a subsrtuctures in it & always try make it in this format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_ContentConversion_Test>
   <Header>
      <F1>HF1</F1>
      <F2>HF2</F2>

File content conversion simple scenario

Hi friends,
I am trying FCC for first time. I had created one simple file scenario without using FCC to which I had to provide input in XML format.
like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:mt_sender xmlns:ns0="http:/soni.com">
   <ponum>1</ponum>
   <poqty>2</poqty>
   <poamt>3</poamt>
</ns0:mt_sender>
Now I want to use FCC for this,in which i have to provide comma seperate data, e.g 11,12,114.4
Please let me know how to do this. I had gone through some blogs on sdn but I didnt got solution for this.
Thanks.,
Brij........

HI,
If you want the output file in comma separated pattern for the incoming xml file,then you can go for the below mentioned fcc parameters in your receiver channel.
Structure*                 Recordset,Record
Record.fieldSeparator             ,
Record.endSeparator             'nl'
Recordset.fieldSeparator        'nl'

Need Help in Sender File Content Conversion

Hi All,
I request your expert advice on Sender File content Conversion. I need to process the below pasted file. I was able to achieve this by keeping a offset of 6 in Sender PI File Adapter (PI 7.1) to ignore first 6 lines and used a Unix script to remove last line"END OF REPORT".
Now my new requirement is I need to capture the date "DECEMBER 2009" from line 3. How can I do this. I have set offset as 6 so Adapter will start processing from line 7. If I don't set offset Interface fails. Please suggest. Thank you.

File content conversion query

hi,
i have sender and received side -file content conversion.
in sender communication channel -
Recordset structure is -> Header,1,Detail,*
Message type structure is
MT1 has 2 subnodes Header and Detail.
In my message type,there is no field identical in Header and Details. All fields are different.
(1) Is Key Field Name mandatory in this case ? If I am not giving Key field name,sender channel gives error. How to resolve it ?
(2) Input file comes from customer and in the input file there is no specific data to identify header and detail. 1st line shud be header and other lines shud be Detail ,they say. If no identification coming in incoming data,how can we set the key field name ?
rgds

Hi SAP PI,
                      For this moment try this.
Let the file content is like this
03456451     TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464
12344       60042
45678        60043
You try reading the file like this
<MT_S>
     <RECORDSET>
         <ROW>
                  <field1>03456451</field1>
                  <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
        </ROW>
          <ROW>
                  <field1>03456451</field1>
                  <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
        </ROW>
          <ROW>
                  <field1>03456451</field1>
                  <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
        </ROW>
</RECORDSET>
</MT_S>
FCC is like this
Document Name : MT_S
Document Namespace: "put name space here"
Recordset Name: RECORDSET
Recordset Structure: ROW,*
ROW.fieldNames field1,field2
ROW.endSeparator   'nl'
ROW.fieldSeparator   0x20
Once you get this in mapping use a simple UDF to ignore the first ROW values and read the rest.
Populate the target structure from the output of UDF for each field value.
Please let me know if you need the uDF and further mapping for this.

Anupam

Question about File Content Conversion and parent-child relationships...

Hello!
     I have read probably every blog, article and SAP Help document on the topic, but I am stuck on this one. I am trying to convert a General Ledger flat file to an IDoc using the classic file --> IDoc scenario. The setup is done and working, but the IDocs are formatted incorrectly and I believe at least part of the reason is how I am converting the file content.
The root of my problem is that the flat file has a parent-child relationship between the document header and the document item and I want to maintain that since the IDoc type (FIDCCP01) has the same structure in the BKPF and BSEG segments.
Here is the flat (non-XML) file layout that is coming into the file adapter:
FileHeader
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
DocumentHeader
DocumentItem
and so on (until the number of documents is complete
I would really like the content to be converted so that the line items stay under their parent document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
   <ItemHeader>
   </ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader>
   <ItemHeader>
</ItemHeader>
</DocumentHeader>
But I keep getting this, where it lists the document headers first (one after another), and then all of the line items after the document headers like this:
<FileHeader></FileHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<DocumentHeader></DocumentHeader>
<ItemHeader></ItemHeader>
Is is possible to maintain that parent-child relationship from the flat file and pass it over to the XML?
Thanks,
John

Sender Adapter File Content Conversion - question

Hi!
Could you help me to make xml-file from csv?
I have file like:
12345#254#9765#89654
55#9066#77127#47
And i need file like:
<dealings>
        <deal>
                <field1>12345</field1>
                <field2>254</field2>
                <field3>9765</field3>
                <field4>89654</field4>
        </deal>
        <deal>
                <field1>55</field1>
                <field2>9066</field2>
                <field3>77127</field3>
                <field4>47</field4>
        </deal>
</dealings>
I haven't key fields - all fields are accidental. And lengths of all fields are accidental.
How to put content conversion parameters?
Thank you.

item.endSeparator     'nl'
item.fieldNames     key,low
item.keyFieldValue     1
item.keyFieldInStructure     ignore
but while am chking in sxmb_moni...iam getting my input message as

Hierarchy on file content conversion for receiver?

Y'all,
I'm stuck in this problem and I haven't find a solution to solved it... so, all your clues and reply's are really appreciate...
The basic problem is a File content conversion for a receiver C.C. that is not working and it's raising some errors in the RWB, I have gone thru some blogs but I still having a lot of doubts...
I want to produce a flat TXT file that will have a line for every node or subnode, it doesn't matter if it's not represented as hierarchical structure like this one... but the records must be produced or written in the same order...
Man_Del_Header as main node with Man_Header, Delete_Detail and Trailer as subnodes...

So as you can see, i wanna produce a flat file that will have line or record for each node, it doesn't matter that it has a hierarchy or a deeper level, it should be a simple flat file...
The thing is that i have been trying to setup the receiver comm. channel and it's raising some errors like Could not process due to error:
<i>java.lang.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 'XXXX')', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'</i>
I have checked this blog:
/people/karthiknarayan.kesavan2/blog/2007/08/22/file-content-conversion-for-multi-hierarchical-structure
Unfortunately i don't know if there's another way to achieve this...

Jerry,
it easy if you go with multi mapping concept and without BPM if you are above >XI3.0 SP14.and use Append mode in the receiver file adapter.
just create the target structure like root under that Man_Del_Header,Man_Header,Detail,Trailer at the same level but got be careful with occurences.
<b>Source:</b>
I think from your structure you have
Man_Del_Header (1-unb)
Man_Header   (1-1)
detail   (0-unb ) may be (1-unb)
trailer (1-1)
create <b>target DT</b> like:
ROOT
..Man_Del_Header (1-1)
..Man_Header   (1-1)
..detail   (0-unb ) may be (1-unb)
..trailer (1-1)
all are at same level under ROOT.
create MT,MI,MM,IM.
in MM just map correspoding fields and if you have any unbounded onces map the nodes too. and map Man_Del_Header in the source to MT_XYZ (important)
and in the MM go to MESSAGES tab and change the occurences of the target Message to 0-unbounded same way in the interface mapping 0-unbounded.
here it create anothe extra node in the mapping something like Message1,this is ok.
and in ID just create all other objects like as usual except creating Interface determination ,in that select the extended radio button.
in reciever File CC use FCC ,would be very simple in the recordsetstrcture give
your four nodes Man_Del_Header,Man_Header,Detail,Trailer.
and use either fixed or field seperator.use append mode in recv File CC otherwise it will generate files as many occurences your source "Man_Del_Header" has ,cos we are mapping it to the MT--xyz .
thats it you are ready to go...
if any error post back here again.
you can make use of this thread
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible (here there are two target DT ,but you just create one DT,remaining are similar)
good luck.

File content conversion record set per message

Dear All,
Problem:- File is of huge size because of which file content conversion is taking longer time and is failing.
File format:-
Header
Detail
Detail
Header
Detail
Detail
Detail
Detail
Header
Detail
Detail
Trailer
Trailer has total count of all detail record,header record and there are few checks as well as wrt other fields.
We need to do all the above validation on the file and if it successful it shud process it otherwise alert shud be raised.
As a step:-
I have used record set per message for splitting up the file because of huge size this functionality is working fine but because of spitting of file i am not able to do trailer validation as XI is creating multiple records with different message ID's
Is any other approch which will help to achieve both Spliting as well as validation
chirag

Chirag,
simplest scenario I can think of is splitting the 2 reqs.
1. create 2 folders, one for "in process" files and other for "validated" files.
2. create 2 scenarios:
2.1. your current sender system to in process folder (whatever to File).
=> In this you just do the validation, without FCC. You could create a simple module for that or even do it at mapping runtime, as you said (mapping may be easier to handle errors), and throw a runtime exception (which will eventually trigger an alert).
=> At the end, only files that go successfully throug the validation will be located in the "In Process" folder.
2.2. do a simple file to file scenario (from "In Process" to "Validated" folder), this time executing FCC & splitting messages if necessary.
Of course, this will only work if the module/mapping is able to process the large file anyway (hopefully yes, since it will still be a flat file and not XML yet).
BR,
Henrique.
