Idoc 2 file - file content conversion in receiver

Hi,
My scenario is idoc to file.
if i want to use file content conversion at receiver side,
so i need to create record set according to sender side data type or receiver data type?
plz give some inputs reg. this.
Thanks

Hi,
There is problem while refreshing in sap xi also.
when i pass new parameter like 7 in my recordset structure,
it is immediately reflecting in CC monitoring.
error it is showing that '7'.
but if i remove that in record set structure
(after activating that in ID)
even though
if i stop and start my CC manually also,
still it is showing that error in CC monitoring
like '7'
basic concept of this file content conversion is
I have to keep at least field separator (ie 'nl' )for outer most node element ie Customer_copy and record set stru. as Customer_copy
is it right?
I tried my own way...still it is giving that error.
what could my fieldSeparator, endSeparator, for ur last case plz tell me?

Content Conversion in receiver channel

Hi all,
I have a proxy to FTP scenario with no mapping involved.Over proxy communication PI is receiving the data, I am creating the CSV file using content conversion in receiver channel and placing the file at FTP.
The file name is coming in one of the field of the input xml,I am using variable substitution and setting the file name from that particular field value.But as I don't want that node and file name element in my output file content, please guide me what parameters can I set in my content conversion to remove the FileNode from o/p csv file.
The sample input xml is
<MT>
<Record>
<Field1>1</Filed1>
<Field2>2</Filed2>
</Record>
<Record>
<Field1>3</Filed1>
<Field2>4</Filed2>
</Record>
<FileNode>
<FileName>InutFile</FileName>
</FileNode>
</MT>
I want output xml to be like
1,2
3,4
I have followed this blog /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12 to cut the FileNode, but it gives an error in cc parameters.
In my actual i/p payload,the Record is 0..unbounded and there are 50 sub elements inside Record element.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,
Ruchi

Hi Ruchi,
Change your structure like this.
MT>
<Record>
<Field1>1</Filed1>
<Field2>2</Filed2>
</Record>
<Record>
<Field1>3</Filed1>
<Field2>4</Filed2>
</Record>
<FileNode>
<FileName>InutFile</FileName>
</FileNode>
</MT>
Dont put the filenode under Record.
Also Add the below parameters.
FileNode.fieldSeparator     '0'
FileNode.endSeparator     '0'
FileNode.fieldFixedLengths     0
FileNode.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
FileNode.fieldNames     FileName
Now use the same parameter mentioned in the blog .Your problem will be resolved.

File content conversion in receiver

Hi,
My receiver Message type structure is
Heading1
subheading 1
    FieldValue1
    FieldValue 2
    Fieldvalue3
I want to create file content conversion in receiver side.
plz help me to create what could be my recordset structure, name, value.
my scenario is Idoc to file.

Ruban:
Your FCC goes like this
subheading1.fieldSeparator = ','               /* if comma is the separator you want, if u need any other replace it*/
subheading1.endSeparator = 'nl'
Did you check my previous post in your other thread, I posted similar example there.

Problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter

Hi All
I have a problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter.
This is my recordset structure: Header_Record,1,Claim_Record,*,Check_Rec,1
These are the content conversion parameters:
Header_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Header_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Claim_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Claim_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Check_Rec.fieldSeparator = ,
Check_Rec.endSeparator = 'nl'
In SXMB_MONI, i can see that the data is correctly extracted from proxy, and correctly mapped to receiver message, and i see a checkered flag (success).
But, Adapter status is RED with the following error message:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter '1.fieldFixedLengths' or '1.fieldSeparator' is missing
In communication channel monitoring, i get the following error message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
What is going wrong here? Can anyone please tell me?
Thanks

There is nothing wrong in your content conversion parameters. This is pure editors interpretation for the next line character.
I would do in java program to fix this issue using '\r\n'   You might want to try and see how that helps for notepad editor.

Problem in message mapping due to file sender content conversion

Hi all
basically i m using file sender content conversion and couldn't make file in a proper nested structure where weight was the nested field of detail as there is a limitation of content conversion in file adapter:
My file came out like this:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<trailer>
</trailer>
and i wanted it like:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so now the problem is i want to generate an idoc from it....but theres no way out to determine which weight is related to what detail except that the weight related to detail 1 comes after start and end of detail 1 tag and then weights of second detail comes after start and end of detail 2 tag in my source xml file.
The structure of the target idoc is
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so i was wondering if i can make a user defined function in which i feed detail and weight and result a flag d1/ d2 inside the tag field. My logic is smth like
while detail is 1 make all the tag weights coming after detail 1 inside <detail1> tag then resultlist.CC for context change then while detail is 2 make a loop to fill the weight coming after detail 2 inside the <detail2>
Is this possible by any means. I really need help
Thnks
Naina

Hi

HEADER,1,DETAIL,*,Weights,*,TRAILER,*
And plz give me more idea of the adapter module ....is there any blog available which is related to my problem.

Challenge in File Sender Content Conversion

Hi,
I have a real challenge concerning File Sender content conversion in SAP XI.
My flat file looks like this:
##H   300
MAR   206
KAS 1
DAT 01.03.08
ART 1.129
KUN 118
EAN 4.499
REL 5.0j 16.05.06
SER             1
##E   300
##H   301
DAT 01.03.08
ZEI 07:54
KAS 1
##E   301
Each row represents a data field and has two values: The first one defines the field name, the second represents the field value. E.g. 'DAT' stands for Date and has the value 01.03.08 in the example.
The fields belonging together in one data set are enclosed by a start qualiefier (##H)and an end qualifier (##E).
The value after these qualifiers (i.e. '300' and '301' in the example above) represent a certain record type, e.g. '300' represents Customer data and '301' represents Account Data.
Is it possible with file content conversion to create the following XML structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_DATA xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/account">
     <300>
          <MAR>206</MAR>
          <KAS>1</KAS>
          <DAT>01.03.08</DAT>
          <ART>1.129</ART>
          <KUN>118</KUN>
          <EAN>4.499</EAN>
          <REL>5.0j 16.05.06</REL>
          <SER>1</SER>
     </300>
     <301>
          <DAT>01.03.08</DAT>
          <ZEI>07:54</ZEI>
          <KAS>1</KAS>
     </301>
</ns0:MT_DATA>
If it is not possible with content conversion, what could be an alternative? Adapter Module? MultiMapping?
I'd really appreciate your input as I am working on this since several days without a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

It is not possible thru adapter..
There is one blog to convert such files to XML sing java mapping. Search for any flat file to Idoc or xml in the forum.

        <field8>1L2_96_1</field8
     </Data>
</Recordset>
Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?
And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

> With fixed lengths i get it working,

Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1
--------Field8 0..1

...file Sender content conversion 'lastFieldsOptional' error

Hi All,

I am sucessfully able to handle the file if i remove "**EOF*" from incoming file. But i get "lastfieldsOptional" error with "*EOF**"

There are parameters available to ignore Last field(last column) of a Row/Rocerdset
but how to ignore the last row of the file.
Plz suggest some parameter to ignore the last row/field of the file.
Regs,
Ansh

Ansh,
.lastFieldsOptional is obselete and you cannot use. Please see sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
The best thing comes to my mind is use:
.keepIncompleteFields as YES
Also give a try with:
.missingLastfields as add
So with this I think your last line in the file will read into XI. But the value of last line is **EOF**. So the length is 9. Since your the first two fixed lengths are 6 and 8. You will have these values as ***EOF and ***. So while mapping you can use doesnot satrt with * and map it, so that your last line will be ignored.
Note: with this apporach you have to make sure your first two columns never start with *. If you have a doubt then you can use the condition doesnot equal to ***EOF for first field and doesnot equal to *** for the second field when you map. I hope it makes sense to you.

File sender content conversion

hello
I have a txt file sender content conversion in SAP PI.
I define in the content conversion 6 fields names(field1, field2, field3,field4,field5,field 6) but the fie that I am loading has only three field(field1,field2,field3). the file is still loading though there is a different in the structure between what I define in the PI to what is loading to the PI.
is there a way to send an error with out loading the file?
I read about the count function in the mapping. isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
Thanks
Kfir

If you define 6 fields and only 3 are present in the test file then you wont get an error (AFAIK)
However, if you define 3 fields and there are 6 present in the source file then you will get an error saying more number of parameters found.
isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?
I dont think so....this may however be achieved using a custom adapter module.
Update:
Just remembered that SAP PI (7.1 and above) comes with inbuilt XML-validation function....check if that helps in your design.
Regards,
Abhishek.

HI Sudip,
the field labels I want in excel file at top or header of every coloum are)
Country City Name Age
below these fields only the value of these fields will come like this

Create Data Type with sub-element ITEMS(just an example)
Then Country,Name,Age or whatever field you want to add in header of output file.
Once data type is ready now time to configure Receiver CC:
Use following Content Conversion Parameters:
Recordset Structure: ITEMS
ITEMS.addHeaderLine: 1
ITEMS.fieldSeparator: (space)
ITEMS.endSeparator: 'nl'
and my data will come like this in file
Country    City            Name    Age

For File Content Conversion in receiver file adapter, please refer to the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/bab440c97f3716e10000000a155106/content.htm
I believe the file adapter support for two level of structure, in your case,
header1
subline1
subline2
should be OK. But need you to have some trial.

[How To...Convert an IDoc-XML structure to a flat file and vice versa in XI 3.0 |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a]

File Content Conversion at receiver end

Hi
My XML structure is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns0:MT_CreatePurchaseOrder xmlns:ns0="http://demo.com/POCreate">
<recordset>
   <POHeader> (min 1 max 1)
   </POHeader>
   <POLineItem> (min 1 max unbounded)
   </POLineItem>
   <POScheduleLine> (min 1 max unbounded)
   </POScheduleLine>
   <POPromiseScheduleLine> (min 1 max unbounded)
   </POPromiseScheduleLine>
   </recordset>
</ns0:MT_CreatePurchaseOrder>
I am mapping this particular structure from Idoc orders05(PO create). My client needs the out file as txt with tab as delimiter and should be one line.(Nodes POLineItem and POScheduleline will repeat)
Help me out what should be passed as Content conversion Parameters..
Thanks in advance

Hi Gowri,
Please take a look at these threads.. They clearly explain File CC on the reciever side
