How to escape newline character(nl) in file content conversion parameter?

Hi Experts,
How to escape newline character(nl) in file content conversion parameter?
For example:
field1field2field3
field4field5field6
Means Item is splitted in two lines.
I want to SKIP new line character
and to collect all SIX fields.
What will be the file content conversion parameter?
Thanks in Advance..........

Hi,
as far as i know there is nothing in the standard. But the question is why dont you combine at mapping the fields into only structure?

It does not recognize RCIC.
Now i am trying to map this to IDOC and getting error as

But i am getting as
Product
Product

Notes
Please suggest me the changes to be made in File Content Conversion Parameter
Your Help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Singh,
I think we wont give field names in the receiver file adapter. Please find the details below:
RecordSet Structure: Product,LineItem,Notes.....
Parameters:
Product.fieldFixedLengths:30,10...
Product.endSeparator:'nl'
LineItem.fieldFixedLengths:30,10..
LineItem.endSeparator:'nl'

How to remove a character in a file??

I'm not getting how to remove a character from a file.Could anyone post a method to do this?Any help would be appreciable.

Ohhh... and one more thing... unless you're really unlucky, a few "extranious trailing nulls" won't make a jot of difference to the size of the file on disk, each each file "fills" whole blocks anyway, which is 1K (I think) on both fister and *nix... unless of course we're talking "lots" of trailing-nulls, or lots-and-lots of files.

Receiver File Adapter: Problem with NewLine Content Conversion Parameter

Hello Everybody
On our SAP-XI (SAP NetWeaver 2004s, sp14) I have the scenario to send a price catalogue (IDoc PRICECATALOGUE.PRICECATALOGUE02) from SAP R/3 as csv PRICAT file to a file share.
In the receiver communication channel I have defined
Message Protocol = File Content Conversion
using the following RecordSet:
RecordSet = HeaderRow,MainBody
One header row is followed by one or more main body rows. The csv PRICAT message format demands that there is an empty row (i.e. one carriage return) between header and main body and another carriage return after the last main body row:
<Header Row>
carriage return
<MainBody 1>
<MainBody 2>
carriage return
As content conversion parameters I tried to use NewLine ('nl') to create the carriage returns in the file:
HeaderRow.fieldSeparator = ,
HeaderRow.endSeparator = 'nl'     " new line
MainBody.fieldSeparator = ,
MainBody.endSeparator = 'nl'
Using the settings I have been able to created the carriage return at the end of the file but not the one between header and main body.
As workaround I have used the following approach:
" Add the following XSLT mapping between header and body:
            <SeparatorLine>
                <value>
                    <xsl:value-of select=" '' "/>
                </value>
            </SeparatorLine>
RecordSet and parameters have been changed accordingly:
RecordSet = HeaderRow,SeparatorLine,MainBody
HeaderRow.fieldSeparator = ,
HeaderRow.endSeparator = 'nl'
SeparatorLine.fieldFixedLength = 0,0   " sic!
MainBody.fieldSeparator = ,
MainBody.endSeparator = 'nl'
Has anybody an idea why I failed to receive the first carriage return and has somebody a more elegant solution?
Kind Regards
   Uwe

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I have already used 'nl'.
When i open into the notepad it is showing [] boxes rather then new line.
e.g. 1 [] 2 []
but when we open into wordpad it opens properly.
Customer wants when he opens in notepad it should show line by line.
e.g.
1
2
How should i convince to customer ?

** File Content Conversion Error in Receiver CC - How to solve this?

Hi friends,
My target structure looks like below.
EmployeeJobDetails                                        --> Message Type
   JobCode                                                      --> Node
        EmployeeNumber            xsd:string
        Domain                           xsd:string
   JobTrack                                                     --> Node

         Position                         xsd: string
I use the FCC parameters in the receiver CC as below:
Recordset Structure:    JobCode,JobTrack
JobCode.fieldSeparator = |
JobCode.endSeparator = 'nl'
JobTrack.fieldSeparator = |
JobTrack.endSepartor = 'nl'.
Because, we want the output like below
1099|Raja
Accts|JuniorAccountant
1100|Ram
HR|Recruiter
like this.
In this scenario Source is XML and target is txt file.
I am using XSLT Mapping. The FCC works fine, if my source input file contains some records. But, when we send empty source XML file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EMPLOYEE_DATA/>
Mapping works fine. Message is processed successfully in SXMB_MONI. The payload in response also comes with Message Type name like below
<EmployeeJobDetails    namespace >
</EmployeeJobDetails>
While convert this, the system throws below error.
Error Message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)': java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
Friend, how to convert this when source XML is empty.
But, if we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the same empty XML file FCC is working fine and we get the target text file 0 KB. (Amazing !!)
But, in the first case, how to solve the issue?
Kind Regards,
Jegathees P.

Hi friends,
If we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the <b>same empty XML file</b> FCC is working fine and<b> we get the target text file 0 KB</b>. (Amazing !!)
But, if we give parameters like JobCode,JobTrack then send pass the same empty file, we face the problem 'File Content Conversion' Error.

How to debug file content conversion problems?

Hi,
I'm trying to debug a file content conversion problem. I'm mapping a few nodes in an IDOC to a file of fixed length fields. I'm using the "<Node A>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node B>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node C>.fieldFixedLengths", etc. parameters to specify the fixed length records.
However, a certain node (for e.g. Node B) is causing a problem and if it is present in the IDOC, the output file does not get created. Upon checking the XI monitor, I notice that the file gets mapped correctly and thus the problem lies when the file adapter does the file content conversion. How do I debug this because there is no descriptive error in the XI log? If this node is not present, the file gets generated fine.
Thanks,
Basant Gupta

Hi,
If your SXMB_MONI shows, success status, then go to RWB->Message Monitoring->Message display tool and then check Audit log for the analysis,
So it wil help you debug the situation.
If there is no error, then check RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Monitoring for you file communciation channel..

How to handle the whitespace in receiver file content converion

Hi Experts,
In Receiver file content conversion we are facing issue with white space charecters- lets example value -999, but in receiver field fixed lengh we have defined as 20 lengh as per the requirement. But, in the output file we are getting [negative sign taking as first char and value filling last] - ********* 999.       ****** are white space charecters.
Is there any content conversion paramter for avoiding this type of white space charecters in receiver file content conversion ?
Best Regards.
Krushi.

hi All,
I presume that there is something missing UDF coding as per the below.
please advise on this.
input to conversion of 437.72- to -437.72 is mapping is executing correclty. but, receiver file content conversion we have defined as amout value as 20.
so -ve sign taking first place char and remaining moving to last charecters, and whitespaces are filling in the middle.
Now i need to do the trailing of white space charecters. I have tried all above suggested options but nothing works.
for(int count=0;count<input.length; count++)
    if(input[count].endsWith("-"))
    result.addValue("-"+input[count].substring(0,input[count].length()-1));
    else
    result.addValue(input[count]);
Thanks and Regards,
Krushi.

File content conversion using SOAP adapter

Hi,
     I'm using a receiver SOAP adapter in my IDOC to file scenario and need to do file content conversion in the receiver side.
Are any standard modules available for file content conversion in the SOAP adapter or do I need to write custom EJB modules for this.
Please note that I have to use a SOAP adapter, can't use any other adapter.

Hi,
XML Document Conversion Type
●      Enter recordTypes as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the complete, comma-separated list of all names of recordset types that occur in the document to be converted.
If you decide to use this method, you can define a different conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
For example, you could name the recordset types as follows: RecordType1,RecordType2,RecordType3.
●      Enter singleRecordType as the parameter name.
Under Parameter Value, enter the name of a recordset type that is to be used to convert all elements that occur in the XML document.
If you decide to use this method, define the same conversion type for each recordset type that occurs in the XML document.
You must enter exactly one parameter only. Whichever parameter you choose, you automatically exclude the second parameter.
You define further parameters for each recordset type.
In the remainder of this documentation the parameters are specified by the prefix <RecordType>. In your configuration, replace this name with the name of the recordset type.
Conversion Type List with Separators
●      <RecordType>.fieldSeparator
Enter the field separator that is written between the individual fields of a record.
This specification is mandatory.
Conversion Type List with Fixed Field Length
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengths
Specify a character string that contains a list of fixed field lengths that are separated by commas and which determines the number and the length of fields generated in the text file.
For example, you want to write a recordset with three elements that have field widths of five, ten, and fifteen characters. Enter:
<RecordType>.fieldLengths = 5,10,15
This specification is mandatory.
●      <RecordType>.fieldLengthExceeded
Specify how you want to handle fields that exceed the configured field length. Permitted values for the parameter value are:
○       error (default)
Interrupts processing of message with error
○       cut
Cuts off superfluous characters
○       ignore
Ignores the field length restriction
Further Entries
●      <RecordType>.beginSeparator
Enter a string. The string is placed in front of the first field of a recordset.
●      <RecordType>.endSeparator
Enter a string. The string is appended to the last field of a recordset as a concluding character. The default is \r\n.
●      contentType
Enter the MIME type of the converted payload. The default value is text/plain.
●      addHeaderLine
Only define this parameter if you have already defined singleRecordType.
Define whether a header line is to be added to the result of the conversion.
○       none (default)
Does not insert a header line
○       fromXML
The header line is generated from the element name of the first recordset of the XML document
○       fromConfiguration
The header line is determined by the configuration parameter headerLine.
●      headerLine
Only define this parameter if you have already set addHeaderLine=fromConfiguration.
The value that you define is placed in front of the result of the conversion as a header line.
●      fixedLineWidth
Enter the maximum line length n (in characters) that can be written to the resulting document. The separator specified by lineSeparator is inserted in the resulting document every n characters.
●      lineSeparator
Only define this parameter if you have already defined fixedLineWidth.
Specify the string that is written to the resulting document at the end of each line that is written with fixedLineWidth. The default is \r\n.
Use of Special Characters
You can use special characters in the following parameters: <RecordType>.fieldSeparator, <RecordType>.beginSeparator, <RecordType>.endSeparator, headerLine, and lineSeparator.
●      Tabulator: \t
●      Carriage Return (CR): \r
●      Line Feed (LF): \n
●      Arbitrary character: \x<code>
<code>indicates the hexadecimal character code of the character to be displayed.

Phani

File Content Conversion Issue

Hi ,
My Scenario is File to FIle having Sender .CVS using File Content Conversion
The sender file is coming below as an example,
a,b,"c,d,e",f
Here I need to consider Double code value "c,d,e" as a single field value using File separator as COMMA(,)
Please guide me how to achieve this type of file using FCC with file separator COMMA.

Hi Dilip,
We had a similar problem where the name for eg: "John,Smith" when written into a .csv file were considered as "John","Smith" as two different entities instead of one. The solution was we used the character quotes " before and after the name field message mapping before it is sent to channel for .csv conversion as shown in the screenshot. Now it is treated as one single filed instead of two.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Divya.

Hi !!
The best way to debug would be to add TRACE statements in your mappigs. In both Graphical and java Mapping.
Trace out the entire output of java mapping and see if this is the input that the next mapping expects.
For trace , http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/98e7d5c1620642973565ea3dd319d1/content.htm

Problem with end seperator in file content conversion parameters

Hi All
I have a proxy to file scenario, and i am writing the file using file content conversion.
In my message type, there can be multiple object records in a single data record, as shown here:
<Data_Record>
<Field1>111</Field1>
<Field2>222</Field2>
<Object_Record>
<Field3>333</Field3>
<Field4>444</Field4>
</Object_Record>
</Data_Record>
Recordset Structure: Data_Record, Object_Record
Content conversion parameters:
Data_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Data_Record.end_seperator: 'nl'
Object_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Object_Record.end_seperator: 'nl'
My requirement is, every data record should be followed by new line character and every object record should be followed by new line character:
111,222(new line character)
333,444(new line character)
But, my current output is:
111,222,333,444(new line character)
The problem is, as the data record ends only after object record, i am getting new line character only after object record. (technically, the end tag of data record occurs only after the end tag of object record).
Now, how can i get a new line character after data record and after object record?
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Sekhar,
We know the input which you are trying to use(in XML ).
Can you please tell us the output which you are expecting here after using ContentConversion at receiver side.
