How to send file content (whole) and map it to target field?

Hi guys!
I need to send whole file content in a one xml tag -
so xml would look like this:
<MesType>
<Recordset>
<filecontent>jksdhfkjsdhfkjsdhfkjhsdf</filecontent>
</Recordset>
</MesType>
How to set up file sender adapter conversion params? I suppose there will be only one fieldSeparator, which's value will be eof. But how to write this eof?
Thanx for help,
Olian

Hi Olian,
you can use below mentioned parameters in your Sender CC under Content Conversion.
Recordset Structure Recordset,*
Recordset.endSeparator 'nl'
Recordset.fieldNames Comp,DocType,RefDocNo etc.
Recordset.fieldFixedLengths 2,2,8 (give the length of fields values)
Now in your message mapping your source message type should have one field as per your requirement, now as other mentioned use concat function to concat all source fields. The delimiter of cocat function will be as empty, so that after concatination there will be no spaces in your target file as per your requirement.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Sarvesh

How to send file as attachment and call RFC to trigger event in ECC?

Hello,
A file is retrieved from FTP into PI (w/ NO MAPPING required - just pass through) and placed on the ECC appl. Server. Then, a RFC is made to trigger an event to process the file in ECC. However, a RFC cannot be called in the graphical mapping if there is no mapping required.
I have seen this Blog, u201CFile to R/3 via ABAP Proxyu201D, http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1847. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] But we are told not to touch the file as it will be converted in ECC by a program.
Also, I read that using ABAP proxy-PI-FTP, I can do a pseudo mapping, simple one node, (just so a RFC can be triggered) and also pass the file as an attachment. Letu2019s say this works:
Question 1: What configuration steps in the FTP adapter that will allow me to u201Calsou201D send the file as an attachment?
Question 2: (Continue with ABAP proxy option) How do I control where will it be deposited so that the program can access it?
Question 3: If this is not the best approach, how many steps would I need to do it in BPM (i.e. pick up the file from FTP, place it on appl server, and trigger a RFC to call an event to process file)?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have read those two help file and was able to use it in the ABAP proxy code. Thanks.
This is the current outcome. I totally understand that SAP PI communicates via XML. So when PI picks up a file that contains XML tags, the Inbound proxy is triggered. I can see its processing in SM50. However, when I give the Sender FTP adapter a non-XML file to pick up, the Inbound Proxy does not trigger. The file itself should be read into memory so that I can save it to the application server via ABAP code (with no mapping). That is why there is no operation mapping
The reason I am using using FTP to ABAP proxy is because I need to call a subsequent RFC step to process the file. Else, I will just use FTP to File Adapter scenario.
Question 1: I am thinking that that file is the attachment. Is that where I am incorrect and I still need to send in an XML file with the attachment as an addition?
Question 2: Is this the best approach or should I use BPM? If BPM, what steps do I need?

XML file conversion after sender file content conversion

Hi,
I have issue refarding file content conversion.
My input structure is
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH>
<RECL>
<RCIC>
<TRNH>
Afetr sender File content conversion (csv to xml) it produces xml file as below (since file conversion does not support 3rd level of hierarchy)
<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.

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

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.

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.

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
<Node>
 <string1>
 <string2>
 <string3>
 <array>
 <string4>
 <string5>
 <string6>
 <array>
 <string4>
 <string5>
 <string6>
</Node>
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-

I need to sort the incoming file contents before message mapping

Hi All,
I have requirement like i have to sort the file contents before message mapping in Xi. is there any option please suggest me with your value information.i dont want to sort in message mapping before that i want file contents to be sorted order.waiting for your quick reply.
Thanks,
seshagiri

Hi,
You can do this in one scenario.
Lets say you have MT_Source and MT_Target as two message types.
Now your MM1 will be between MT_Source & MT_Source, that is same message type. Here you built your sorting logic.
Now create MM2, between MT_Source & MT_Target. Here your actual mapping logic will be implemented. The input payload for MM2 will be sorted data.
Now in operation mapping, first call MM1 and then call MM2 (You have a plus + sign to add multiple mapping programs). Due to this sequence, at run time first MM1 will be executed and after that its oupt will be given to MM2 as source payload.
Hope its clear. Plz let me know if you have any doubts.

How to create a content profile and Why this need

how to create a content profile and Why this need

Hi,
You will need profiles to control the following behavior:
- Which metadata to be shown in the checkin form and search form
- Define default values to certain metadata
- Make metadata editable, hidden, info only etc
- Allow the user to see only relevant metadata, for example you could have 50 metadata defined, but all you need for the user to input is 10 for say HR documents, you can show only these 10 metadata for the user to contribute

Hi Ravi,
You dont need use a UDF for this.
this is a very simple requiremen.
You can get the IDOC number from source IDOc

This DOCNUM fielsd will contain the IDOC number
Map this DOCNUM field from source IDOC to target XML structure.

In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.

Hi Friends,
In XI Mapping multiple fields mapping to single target field.
For example my requirement is :
Source Fields:(This RFC BAPI Structure)
Empno                0-1
EmpName           0-1
Address             0-1
Taget Field is:
Details               0-1
The above three fields passed to the Details Field. Here i am using Concat function
But i have one query on that on,Every field having "line Break" required.
Can you please help me out above this requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Sateesh N.

If you want a line break between the three fields, then try
passing a,b,c to the udf and in the udf you would have
return a+"\n"+b+"\n"+c;
