How to read flat file and convert to xml throught OSB

Hi ,
Can somebody help how to read flat file and convert to xml in OSB.
appreciate ur help.
Thanks & Regards ,
Siva K Divi

if you're using the oepe with osb plugin (will be installed when you install the osb locally) and then in your osb project > rightmouseclick > new > MFL.
that's it
maybe you're trying to create it within an oepe installation which doesnt have the osb plugin ?

How to read entire file content in one XML tag?

Hi,
How can I read entire file content in one XML tag?
What specifications do I need to specify in Sender adapter?
regards,
Anirudh.

Hi Chirag,
I am reading a flat file for File to Idoc scenario.
Target Idoc is nested which can not be populated with graphical mapping.
see below post for more detail.
[Mapping flat XML to nested IDOC using node functions |Mapping flat XML to nested IDOC using node functions;
The problem here is I'm not able to identify when to insert context change for child which is repeating for a repeating parent.
Solution therefore, I think is reading entire flat structure in one node and then use UDF to populated intermediate target with proper nesting.
Thats why I need to read entire XML.
regards,
Anirudh.

How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

Hi
I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.

Reading files and converting into xml structure

Hi,
In my application a client requests for the folder structure information to a server through RMI. The server needs to read files and folders on local machine and convert it into some structure (I am thinking of using xml) and send it back. For eg: I am planning to have Server send back something like:
<directory name = "parentdirectory">
<file name = "abc.jpg"/>
<file name = "def.bmp"/>
<directory" name = "subdirectory">
<file name = "hij.jpg"/>
<file name = "klm.bmp"/>
</directory>
</directory>
It is just the names of the files I am interested in and not the contents. Is this a good approach of sending back the data as a string containg xml definition. Is there any better appproach in terms of performance, memory etc? I am currently planning on using DOM for construction of this structure. Is there a source code for reading and converting the folder structure into xml. Just for your information, the clients gets this information and shows it as a tree structure on the GUI.
Thanks!!!!

Is this a good approach of sending back the data as a string containg xml definition. It'll work.
An alternative, more direct approach is to build a memory representation and send this as argument/return value of an RMI call. You'd need to write classes MyDirectory and MyFile; MyFile has just a name; MyDirectory has a name and a collection of MyDirectory and one of MyFile. Make these classes implement Serializable and you can send them over RMI.
The effort to write those trivial classes would be less than to implement XML encoding/decoding, and also in terms of runtime performance and memory it will be hard to beat Java's serialization with anything XML-based. In this case I doubt performance/memory are relevant considerations though.
If for some reason I'd go for sending XML Strings anyway, I wouldn't do the encoding/decoding myself; I'd use XStream to convert Java classes to/from XML and still end up writing the above two classes and be done.
Sorry if you wanted a simple yes or no :-)

How to read multiple files and generate multiple files

Dear all, I would like to process some LTE measurement files. Currently I can only load a single file and process the data and save it to a single binary file. Since I would like to run the code continously, could someone show me how I can modify the code to load multiple files and specify multiple files to save the process the data please? I have attached the code to the question. Many thanks for your help.

There is no official "bin" format and I am confused by some of your statements:

What you could do is use "list folder" with *.bin as pattern, and use a FOR loop and iterate over all *.bin files found in a selected folder.
In any case, your code uses some weird constructs and you seem to do way to much. Are you using "continuous run" mode? Don't!
Use a proper state machine instead ot these stalling loops. Why do you need to query the queue after each enqueue? Why do you need a queue at all?

.

1) Next time use the CODE tags. this is way too much unreadable crap.
2) The problem is your String[][] data.... the only place I see you do anything approching initializing it is
data = new String[numLines][];I think you want to do this..
data = new String[numLines][3];anyway that's why it's blowing up on the line
data[row][col]=st.nextToken();

Read binary file and convert to readable text

I have a binary file which i want to read in and then convert it into readable text. How can i do this?

I have a binary file which i want to read in and then
convert it into readable text. How can i do this?Your question is a bit too vague to be answered. Here's an example -- suppose a file contains the bitstream 11011110101011011011111011101111. (just four bytes full of bits). If one 'converts' this bit stream using four byte big-endian integral values into a hexadecimal representation, the outcome would be 'deadbeef'. Using a little endian conversion, the outcome would be 'efbeadde'. All three text strings you're reading right now (the binary one, and both hexadecimal versions) are readable representations of the actual bitstream ... which one do you want?
OTOH, if you want to know what's stored in a .class file (this is a Java forum isn't it?), have a look at 'pjava'; it comes with your SDK.
kind regards,
Jos

How to read spool file and get the spool file number

Hey everyone.
I created a program ztemp that is calling another program ztemp2 within, ztemp2 creates a spool file. Now the requirement is I need to write a code within ztemp to download that spool request and then convert it to the pdf file. I know I can use program rstxpdft4 to convert the spool file to the PDF but for this I need to give the spool number, so can you please tell me how can I get the spool number and then fetch it to the program rstxpdft4 .
Thank you.
Rhul goel

Hi,
Please check the [link|Convert ABAP List to PDF and display without downloading first; (Rich's reply) and get the spool similarly.
Or read from table TSP01 to get the latest spool using sy-uname.

etc...
how can i read the contents of this textfile and put the data into an ArrayList called ArrayList<Customer> customerList.
i knew that i need two classes, one for CustomerDetails and one for ReadFile.
i have already done the customer class as:
import java.util.Date;
public class Customer
    String Name;
    int CustomerNo;
    String Postcode;
    String teleNo;
    Date lastModified;
    public Customer(String Name, int CustomerNo, String Postcode, String teleNo, Date lastModified)
     assign(Name, CustomerNo, Postcode, teleNo, lastModified);
    public void assign(String Name, int CustomerNo, String Postcode, String teleNo, Date lastModified)
     this.Name=Name;
     this.CustomerNo=CustomerNo;
     this.Postcode=Postcode;
     this.teleNo=teleNo;
     this.lastModified=lastModified;
    public String toString()
     String allDetails = "Name: "+Name+
         ", Customer No: "+CustomerNo+
         ", Postcode:"+Postcode+
         ", Telephone No: "+teleNo+
         ", Last Modified Date: "+lastModified;
     return allDetails;
}i just wondering how can i code the ReadFile class?
can anyone help me please. thank you in advance.

thank you for your suggestion, but i have already started to code the readCustomer class using the Scanner.
the code i got so far is:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class readCustomer
    public static void main(String[] args)
     readCustomer("Customers.txt");
    public static void readCustomer(String filename)
     try {
         Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(filename));
         scanner.useDelimiter(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
         while (scanner.hasNext()) {
          processLine(scanner.next());
         scanner.close();
     } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    public static void processLine(String line)
     Scanner scanner2 = new Scanner(line);
     scanner2.useDelimiter("\\s*:\\s*");
     String description = scanner2.next();
*// here is where i am struggling. i don't know how to get the information after the : sign*
}i am currently struggling with the processLine method?
also, i am not sure how to group a set of information and put them into the arraylist.
Any hint, please. Thank you.

How to read .dat file and display on a chart.

Hello, I am very new to labeled and am looking for some guidance on how to display data from a file onto a chart. I have registered the appropriate data plug in (Yokogawa_DAT) however when I try to use the file viewer VI it is still not recognized by LabVIEW. I have included a sample of the data which includes 2 channels plus time stamping and color information etc. The data is produced by a Yokogawa VR100 recorder that is no longer supported, and therefore the native viewing software is impossible to get. Unfortunately my time is limited and learning all the ins and outs of LabVIEW is going to take a good deal of it, I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction to learn the basics of what I am after without having to learn LabVIEW in its entirety. Many Thanks!

Yes, Brand new set of data, exactly as it comes off the recorder. Including config files etc.
