I've read through all the blogs, and have no leads on how to get this done?
I tried putting the following into the recordset. FileHeader, 1, Header, 1, Details, *
But it does'nt seem to work, the above is expecting the Fileheader and header to be repeated in the file to be sent.
My file is in the following format.
Fileheader
Header1
Details1
Details2
Details3
Header2
Details1
Details2
Details3
I need the following XML format
<XML>
<Fileheader>
<invoice>
   <header1>
      <details1>
      <details2>
      <details3>
</header1>
</invoice>
<invoice>

Sender File Content Conversion with re-occuring record pairs

Hi,
Our FCC works fine with the following structure:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
But we have structure as below:
Header1: H1F1, H1F2, H1F3,... (1:1)
Header2: H2F1,H2F2,H2F3,..... (1:1)
Notes: NF1,NF2,NF3,.............(1:1)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,.............(1:N)
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,.............(1:N)
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Line1:L1F1,L1F2,L1F3,
Line2:L2F1,L2F2,L2F3,
Lin1 and Line2 occur as multiple pairs making it as multiple line items. When we use content conversion parameters as below:
Header1.fieldNames          H1F1,H1F2,H1F2,...
Header1.fieldFixedLengths     10,5,10,.....
Header1.keyFieldValue          H1
Header1.keyFieldInStructure     add
Header1.endSeparator          'nl'
Header1.lastFieldsOptional     YES
and same for Header2, Notes, Line1, Line2
It picks up only first Header1, Header2, Notes, Line1 and Line2 in a recordset.
Does anyone have idea how could we do this content conversion? Any help would be appreciated.

can any body help on this do I need to maintain any other parameters for file content conversion.
Thanks

HI,
I can see that.
The number of characters in the file for TABLE2 is lesser then the number of field size given.
for eg. if the table2 fixed field length sum is 20 ,your file contains only 10 characters. Please give complete data for table2
Test file
100WELCOME 0430000960603201321

Pls let me know how will I do Sender File content conversion (to make it in XML) form.

Hi Rachit,
              In that case you can use temporary source structure to hold contents from the source flat file and using FCC you split the content by 'nl' and store it in one node (For rg:-<SDATA>) then using mapping you can map that to original source structure and then to target structure, here you need to use intermediate mapping (i.e two mappings) to archive the target structure.
Temp source structure
<SDATA>GB283032086 LANGFORD LODGE ENGINEERING </SDATA>
<SDATA> GB762702827 AIRBUS UK LIMITED </SDATA>
<SDATA>D58785 20030407 71.82 </SDATA>
<SDATA>D58786 20030407 49.10 </SDATA>
<SDATA>D58787 20030407 49.10 </SDATA>
Map the above to the actual source structure and the to target, hope it helps you to overcome your problem

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.

<TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH>
<RECL>

<TRNH>
<RECH>
</RECH>
<RECL>
</RECL>
</TRNH>
It does not recognize RCIC.
Now i am trying to map this to IDOC and getting error as
'MT_RCICRecords tag found instead of IDOC BEGIN ='.
CAn anyone suggest me how to chaage this xml output after File content conversion to add RCIC tag in xml file?
I am new to XI so please give me some sample code to.
Thanks.

My problem is xml generated from content conversion is like below
<MT_RCICrecords>

Sender File Content Conversion Complexity

It is again time to dip into the well of knowledge that is SDN.
I have a question about sender file content conversion.
It appears that I can only create simple XML structures with it, but I'm hoping someone here can help.
Lets says I have a file where each record layout is the same.   There are not header records, trailer records, etc.   Basically only one structure within the recordset.
However the record itself may have a complicated structure.   For example, the layout of each record may be:
String1, String2, String3, Array(0:3) consisting of String4, String5, String6.
Can I convert that to a structure of

Or must I create a DT containing one node giving string4,5 and 6 a unique name for each occurance?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can go with generic structure and then either in the adapter module or Mapping, you can format the structure. Because content conversion has a limitation to upto one level.
check this for limitation-

File Content Conversion for complex structure

Hi
I have a requirement to repeat a structure consisting of three lines i.e the segment containing these 3 lines will have occurrence 0....unbounded and will be repeated in the File multiple times ,
What is the level that can be handled in File Content Conversion's recordset structure ?
My issue is that the structure is
Dt_File -> Repeating Level1->Level2 ->Field1
                                            ->Level2a->Field3
                                            -> Level2b->Field5
where the first level is DT_File
under which I have RepeatingLevel1 as a SubElement
and under Repeating level I have Level2 , Level2a and Level2b at its subelementsl
and under Level2 I have Field1 , Under Level2a i have Field3 and under Levle 2b i have Field5
How do i handle this in the Content Conversion ?? as in how do I create my Recordset Structure ?? as it just handles one level below the Document Name (i,e) Message Type)
Is it possible ??? or should i consider some other way to constuct my data type ??
Thanks
Dev

Hi Tarang
My DT according to the target file structure is this :
DT_File
>Main1(1,1)
>Main2(1,1)
>Main3(0...unbounded)
>Record1(1,1)
>Field1
>Field2
>Field3
>Record2(1,1)
>Field4
>Field5
>Record3(1,1)
>Field6
>Field7
SO I want to confirm if the receiver FCC will be   -     Main1,Main2,Main3,Record1,Record2,Record3
Record1.fieldSeparator ,
Record1.endSeparator     'nl'
Record2.fieldSeparator ,
Record2.endSeparator     'nl'
Record3.fieldSeparator ,
Record3.endSeparator     'nl'
or                                                                   Main1,Main2,Record1,Record2,Record3
Thanks

Receiver file Content Conversion with Header line

Hi,
Here I am doing receiver file content conversion with header line.
I am able to get the output file correct, when I open the file in notepad the header line and data appearing in the same line (not accepted).
But when I tried to open the name file in internet explorer I can see the header line and data in two different lines (accepted).
What should I do I want to see the same output in the notepad?
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth.

You can use NameA.addHeaderLine.
Specify whether the text file will have a header line with column names. The following values are permitted:
0 u2013 No header line
1 u2013 Header line with column names from the XML document
2 u2013 As for 1, followed by a blank line
3 u2013 Header line is stored as NameA.headerLine in the configuration and is applied
4 u2013 As for 3, followed by a blank line
The below weblinks will help you to know the other paramters.

I'm new to SAP PI. I want to post a flat file to ECC.
The Souce Structure is:
Record(1-unbounded)
    |_Header(1.1)
          field1
          field2
          field3
    |_Detail(1.unbounded0
        field4

Detail 1 -     1,g,d
I wrote the file content conversion as follows
   Recordset name - Record

Header.fieldNames field1,field2,field3
Header.feldseparator ,
Header.endseparator 'nl'
Detail.fieldNames field4,field5,field6

Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Mandatory parameter 'xml.keyfieldName': no value found
It's asking me to give the input to keyfieldname. But I dont have such field in my record. Ther's no common field . no field is repeating like record type or doc_type as in other cases.
So, Coud you please guide me to proceed with this.
Thanks in advance.....

Sender File Content Conversion

I am using the file content conversion in sender file adapter with fieldFixedLengths parameter in recordset structure. This work fine when the columns in row is exactly with the length set in the parameter recordset. But in same cases, the row in the file has less columns, which occurs errors. If I use the parameter fixedLengthTooShortHandling usage by the receiver file adapter, will it work for the file sender?

Hi Elton,
The parameter fixedLengthTooShortHandling is not a part of the Sender File Adapter's content conversion paramteters, So i guess it will not work for the sender file adapter.
I would suggest that you try it anyways, and if it does work, then it means that this field has been forgotten in the help documentation
