How to use content conversion for Complex structure

Hi All,
I want to know how to use content conversion for the following complex structure:
Data
...Details            1 to Unbound
.....Header           1 to 1
.......HF1
.......HF2
.......HF3
.......ITEM           1 to unbound
.........ITF1
.........ITF2
all are of type string.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
In the content conversion,
give ur
1.document name as message type
2.give ur recordstructure as Details,,Header,1,ITEM,
3.mention ur keyfield.
conversion parameter
Header.fieldFixedLength - give the field lengths
Header.fieldNames=mention all the field name
Header.keyField=enter the value of keyfield
Header.endSeparator='nl'
repeat the same for Item

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

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

How to do Content Conversion for this structure?

Hi,
Urgent required. I have the following structure as below. There is a headerData, itemData and textData. The data that wll come into headerData could be more than one, and the same applies to the itemData and textData. The File adapter is not able to pick this file structure. It is a fixed length file at the receiver end. Could any one tell me how to do the File Content Conversion (FCC) for the structure without using the FCC module. Points to be awarded to best answer. Thaanks in advance.
The structure :
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<headerData>
aaaaa
bbbb
cccc
</headerData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<itemData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</itemData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>
<textData>
fff
ggg
hhh
</textData>

HI,
Use the following content conversion:
I assume the data coming in the file is of below format:
Here the key field name is K for 01,02 and 03
01,aa,bb,cc
01,aa,bb,cc
02,ff,gg,hh
02,ff,gg,hh
03,hh,ff,hh
03,hh,ff,hh
If you data in the file is coming in the above way then your FCC will be
Recordse strucutre: headerData,,temData,,textData,*
Keyfield Name: K
headerData.fieldNames: a,b,c
headerData.fieldSeparator: ,
headerData.endSeparator: 'nl'
headerData.keyFieldValue: 01
Similarly for itemData and text Data

Can we use content conversion for this structure

Hi,
could any one help me on this
MT_Type
   Segment(0-unbounded)
        field1
        field2
        field3
        Segment 2(0-unbounded)
             field1
             field2
        Segment 3(0-unbounded)
             field1
             field2
thanks in advance

Hi Avinash,
is this possible by using the Message Transformation Bean for the folowing structure
MT_Type
     Segment 1
          Segment2
               field 1
               field2
               Segment3
                      field1
                      field2
Is there possibilty to do it by FCC. If not which ll suit better
thanks for your response

Content Conversion on complex structures

Has anyone gotten content conversion to work on more than just simple parent/child structures? We are able to do
Recordset
--LineA
--LineB
--LineC
etc etc
But we'd like "grandchildren" in our records -
Recordset
--Header01 (1)
DetailA1 (unbounded)
DetailA2 (unbounded)
DetailA3 (unbounded)
DetailB1 (unbounded)
DetailB2 (unbounded)
DetailB3 (unbounded)
We can't figure out how to specify this structure. I have seen several people ask the same question. We currently accomplish it by setting up all the structures to be on the same level, and then in mapping we add context changes, but wondering if we're just missing some step in content conversion setup we could take advantage of.

Hi Amanda,
I have an input file with the following structure
Header 1..unbounded
..Item 1..unbounded
....ItemCond 0..unbounded
....AddFields 0..unbounded
..HeadCond 0..unbounded
..Tender 0..unbounded
I need to map this to an IDOC of the following structure :-
E1WPB01
..E1WPB02
....E1WPB03
....E1WPB04
....E1WXX01
..E1WPB05
..E1WPB06
In order to convert the XML created by file file adapter into a format suitable for mapping to the IDOC structure we are about to start work on a Java program to perform the conversion. Obviously performance is a concern. Are you saying that this can be solved by adding context changes?
Regards
Ian

How to use "create data" for temporary structures?

Content conversion for multilevel varying structure File to Idoc

Hi All,
I have following file structure.
VO
C1
S1 1 to unbounded
     H1 1 to unbounded
          D1 0 to unbounded
          D2 0 to unbounded
          U2 0 to unbounded
          UC 0 to unbounded
My Idoc structure.
ISU_EL34
     IDOC 0 to unbounded
          E1ISU34 1 to unbounded
               ZSEGMENT 0 to 1
I have applied the content conversion for the length specific file as follows.
Recordset structure: VO,1,C1,1,S1,1,H1,1,D1,,D2,,U2,,UC,
Do I need to do any changes over here to satisfy the above file structure.
V0 and C1 occurs only once in a file.
for S1 I should have H1 compulsory and others are optional, but i need to create Idoc when D1 data is available only.
I'm able to read the total file with the above content conversion.
MY requirements:
1) I need to create the Idoc based on the occurance of D1 node. I'm using H1 data also in the idoc not S1.
2) My doubt is whether the content conversion I have provide is applicable to the structure I have prepared.
3) When I'm trying useOneAsMany function for the above ie H1 data should repeat in Idoc as and when D1 repeats.I'm failing the error is both queues are not contain same number of data..
Could anyone suggest how I should approach for the above scenario.

Hi Sravya,
It is really helpfull answer , Thanks for sharing my problem .
It worked for this purpose, but I'm facing following problems
MY scenario
The file contains records V0,C1,S1,H1,D1,D2,U2 and Uc
In which Im using the data of H1,D1,D2,U2 and UC for creating target Idoc.
Every H1 contains at least 1 D1 record, If D1 exists D2 ,U2 and UC may or may not exist.If exists those are in a sequence and should consider the data of them to create Idoc.
Idoc should be created for every D1.
Problem facing:
Do we have any mechanism to group the D1 records to the relevant header.since Im unable do this with content conversion.
I think bcz of above problem; some records (D2 & U2 & UC) data is populating in Idoc even there is no D2,U2 and Ucs.
Thanks,
venu.

File content conversion for file with hierarchical structure

Hi
I want to read a flat file in the following message structure using file content conversion.
Message structure is :
01 ( occurence = 1)
_ 1B (occurence = unbounded)
_ 1G (occurence = unbounded)
_1H (occurence = 1)
_1N ( occurence = unbounded)
99 (occurence = 1, trailer record)
In short there will be one 01 ( header record) in file. There will multiple 1B records. Under one 1B record there will multiple 1G records. Under each 1G record there will be one 1H recoprd and multiple 1N record. At the end there will one 99 record.
File format : Fixed length
Data in the text file would be as follows :
01Test
1BF0001MS005 4855390859
1GF000172075F31501 GBPINV 040806
1HF000172075F
1NF000172075F0011MS0051125002FOOUKSTFOOD
1NF000172075F0021MS0056540003ICOMSIEARCA
1BF0111TT005 3454390859
1GF011172075F31501 INRINV 040806

1NF011172075F0021MS0056540003ICOMSIEARCA
99002187004855390859
Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks
Varun

you cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

the file content conversion works fine. But whe the XML structure gets complicated like
<Header>
</Header>
   <Item>
      <Item_Detail>
      </Item_Detail>
   </Item>
<Trailer>
</Trailer>
or

Iam following this thread FCC for Unequal Number of Columns.
/people/jeyakumar.muthu2/blog/2005/11/29/file-content-conversion-for-unequal-number-of-columns
when iam doing ,iam getting an error
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'TOTALSET.fieldFixedLengths' or 'TOTALSET.fieldSeparator' is missing Consistency check: no. of arguments in 'TOTALSET.fieldFixedLength' does not match 'TOTALSET.fieldNames' (0 <> 1)
My conversion parameters are
Recordset Structure                      : TOTALSET,*
TOTALSET.fieldNames                 : ITEMSET
ignoreRecordsetName                   : true

Hi Srivinas,
your file structure is as below
01,021000021,G4886704,080919,0742,001,,,2
02,G4886704,021000021,1,080918,0742,,2
03,000000135073477,,010,105303839,,,015,489113155,,,045,489039455,,,072,73700
So it's easy, you have to use KEYFIELD option, coz you have something like that :
Line 1 : keyfield = 01 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 30 fields for Structure1)
Line 2 : keyfield = 02 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 14 fields for Structure2)
Line 3 : keyfield = 03 following by a limited number of columns (e.g 23 fields for Structure3)
Thanks to the Keyfield, you define a field which is present in each line that you can used to distinguished the different structures of lines. In your case, it seems that the keyfield is the first column (01, 02, 03).
Try to use that:
Recorset = TOTALSET         (and don't use option "ignoreRecordsetName : true")
Recordset structure =Structure1,1,Structure2,(star),Structure3,(start)       (the difficulty will be to find the good use of "*" and "1", but after some tests you will find the good one).
Note: replace (start) by the character " * "
Key field value = keyfield
Key field type = String (case sensitive)
Structure1.fieldNames = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure1
Structure2.fieldNames = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure2
Structure3.fieldNames = keyfield,field2, field3 etc.. of Structure3
and then you will have a XML like that:
TOTALSET
Structure1 and all its fieldN
Structure2 and all its fieldN
Structure2 and all its fieldN
Structure3 and all its fieldN
Structure3 and all its fieldN
TOTALSET
Structure1 and all its fieldN    because I used Structure1,1
Structure3 and all its fieldN

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.

3. Trailer

VJ,
You are absolutely right it is not possible to get multiple hierarchy using file content conversion.
Splitbyvalue function would not work in my scenario as I need to group FED records based on first few characters in the first column of FED records. I wrote a UDF to insert context change based on the column value.
Thanks again for your help.

How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure?

Hi,
How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure like..
Data:
--Header Details:
Line Item Details:
Data
Bcoz I am getting a Flatfile in a hierarchial way as shown below.
Header Details :1
Line Item a
Line Item b
Header Details :2
Line Item c
Line Item d
Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.

If you have any question i'll be more than happy to assist.
