IDoc to csv file with required fields

All,
I have a source IDoc going to XI.  For example it contains source fields SF1 (required), SF2 (required), SF3(optional) and SF4(optional).
I want to produce a target file using file content conversion.  I want to produce target fields TF1(required), TF2(required), TF3(optional), and TF4(optional).  In my mapping SF1 maps to TF1, SF2 maps to TF2, etc...
I want to produce a comma separated file, I am using file content conversions and I am using NameA.fieldSeparator (using a comma)  in my file content conversion parameters.  I have no problem when all 4 source fields are populated.  In this case if the value of my source fields are: ABC 123 XYZ and 789 then I get a flat file with the result:
ABC,123,XYZ,789
The problem is when my optional fields are blank I currently get the following in my csv file:
ABC,123
When instead I want:
ABC,123,,
I know I've seen threads relating to this issue but I haven't had any success locating them.  Any insight is appreciated.

Hi Shaun,
Source : SF1 (required), SF2 (required), SF3(optional) and SF4(optional).
Target: TF1(required), TF2(required), TF3(optional), and TF4(optional)
For Optional in mapping , If the source optional field is not there, then for target assign with blank constant. You will get the output as below, because at target side the element will be there with blank value and FCC will process that.
ABC,123,,
Otherwise Try with NameA.fieldFixedLengths in FCC.

Prasanna

  • Mapping IDOC to CSV file - Missing blank field values in CSV file

    Hello:
    I am mapping an IDOC to a .csv file, using File Content Conversion.  I specify comma as the value for the parameter 'fieldSeparator'.  I get a .csv file, but blank field values are missing in the .csv file.
    For example, if the .csv file format is <field1>,<field2>,<field3>
    and if <field2> is blank, then the .csv file contains
    <field1>,<field3>

    Hi Bac,
    As long as the XML that goes to your File Receiver Channel contains the elements, even if they don't contain values, it should work fine.
    For example:
    <field1>data</field1>
    <field2></field2>
    <field3>data2</field3>
    I suspect that your XML looks like the following:
    <field1>data</field1>
    <field3>data2</field3>
    If this is the case you can update your map. You shouldn't need to put a space, just make sure the element gets created.
    Thanks,
    Jesse

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

  • Reading a csv file with a large number of columns

    Hello
    I have been attempting to read data from large csv files with 38 columns by reading a line using readline and scanning the linebuffer using scan.
    The file size can be up to 100 MB.
    Scan does not seem support the large number of fields.
    Any suggestions on reading the 38 comma separated fields. There is one header line in the file.

  • How do I use 'submit' as complete pdf, and use 'drawn my signature' with required fields?

    I have created a form with required fields, no problem. The form can be completed with adobe reader, and a signature added using Sign > Place signature > Draw my signature, great. But i need the required fields to be checked and then sent by email, so I have add a button and set the action to "Submit a form" and selected "PDF The Complete Document" from the options. I then add the javascript URL - mailto:????@????.com, but now the "Draw my signature" option is greyed out.
    I have asked this question a number of times, and cannot get a proper answer, please can someone help or offer a work around.

    George,
    Thanks for your response, but I am not sure it fully answers my question. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean - here I have created a simple form, with one required field for some data, using Acrobat XI. If I open the form (I have not reader enabled the form) in Adobe Reader XI, I am able to add a drawn signature, I could save the document then attach to an email to send as you have suggested.
    But, If I now add a Submit button, set the URL to mail it to [email protected] and select "PDF the complete document" as below
    When I open the document in Adobe Reader now, the signature options are all greyed out as you can see.
    Hope this clarifies my predicament

  • Is there a way to open CSV files with more than 255 columns?

    I have a CSV file with more than 255 columns of data.  It's a fairly standard export of social media data that shows volume of posts by day for the past year, from which I can analyze the data and publish customized charts. Very easy in Excel but I'm hitting the Numbers limit of 255 columns per table. Is there a way to work around the limitation? Perhaps splitting the CSV in two? The data shows up in the CSV file when I open via TextEdit, so it's there. Just can't access it in Numbers. And it's not very usable/useful for me in TextEdit.
    Regards,
    Tim

    You might be better off with Excel. Even if you could find a way to easily split the CSV file into two tables, it would be two tables when you want only one.  You said you want to make charts from this data.  While a series on a chart can be constructed from data in two different tables, to do so takes a few extra steps for each series on the chart.
    For a test to see if you want to proceed, make two small tables with data spanning the tables and make a chart from that data.  Make the chart the normal way using the data in the first table then repeat the following steps for each series
    Select the series in the chart
    Go to Format sidebar
    Click in the "Value" box
    Add a comma then select the data for this series from the second chart
    Press Return
    If there is an easier way to do this, maybe someone else will chime in with that info.

  • I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

    I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

    I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
    I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
    then I try to import it to Oracle
    several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
    Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
    chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
    the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
    comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
    so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
    then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
    In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
    I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
    Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
    Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

    A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

  • How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?

    Hi. Everybody:
    How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?
    The first csv file is easy (report attributes -> report export -> enable CSV output Yes). However, our users demand 2 csv files with different report columns selected to meet their different needs.
    (The users don't want to have one csv file with all report columns included. They just want to get whatever they need directly, no extra columns)
    Thank you for any help!
    MZ

    Hello,
    I'm doing it usually. Typically example would be in the report only the column "FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME" displayed whereas
    in the csv exported with the UTL_FILE the complete address (street, housenumber, additions, zip, town, state ... ) is written, these things are needed e.g. the form letters.
    You do not need another page, just an additional button named e.g. "export_to_csv" on your report page.
    The csv export itself is handled from a plsql procedure "stored procedure" ( I like to have business logic outside of apex) which is invoked by pressing the button "export_to_csv". Of course the stored procedure can handle also parameters
    An example code would be something like
    PROCEDURE srn_brief_mitglieder (
         p_start_mg_nr IN NUMBER,
         p_ende_mg_nr IN NUMBER
    AS
    export_file          UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

  • Unable to Load CSV file with comma inside the column(Sql Server 2008)

    TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
    The preview sample contains embedded text qualifiers ("). The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that contain data with text qualifiers will fail at run time.
    BUTTONS:
    OK
    I need to do this in sql server 2008 R2 with Service pack 2, my build version is 10.50.1600.1.
    Can someone let me know it is possible in do the same way it is handle in SQL Server 2012?
    Or
    It got resolved in any successive Cumulative update after 10.50.1600.1?
    Regards Harsh

    Hello,
    If you have CSV with double quotes inside double quotes and with SSIS 2008, I suggest:
    in your data flow you use a script transformation component as Source, then define the ouput columns id signed int, Gp unicode string and C unicode string. e.g. Ouput 0 output colmuns
    Id - four-byte signed
    gp - unicode string
    cc - unicode string
    Do not use a flat file connection, but use a user variable in which you store the name of the flat file (this could be inside a for each file loop).
    The user variable is supplied as a a readonly variable argument to the script component in your dataflow.
    In the script component inMain.CreateNewOutputRows use a System.IO.Streamreader with the user variable name to read the file and use the outputbuffer addrow method to add each line to the output of the script component.
    Between the ReadLine instraction and the addrow instruction you have to add your code to extract the 3 column values.
    public override void CreateNewOutputRows()
    Add rows by calling the AddRow method on the member variable named "<Output Name>Buffer".
    For example, call MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "MyOutput".
    string line;
    System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader( Variables.CsvFilename);
    while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(line);
    if (line.StartsWith("_id,qp,c") != true) //skip header line
    Output0Buffer.AddRow();
    string[] mydata = Yourlineconversionher(line);
    Output0Buffer.Id = Convert.ToInt32(mydata[0]);
    Output0Buffer.gp = mydata[1];
    Output0Buffer.cc = mydata[2];
    file.Close();

  • Name the PDF file with a field name

    Hi,
    I'm new to ES2 and Form creation in LiveCycle, my knowledge in scripts is very less or none i can say, if any one out there could help me out with this i'd be greateful.
    I have created a fillable PDF Form using LivecCycle ES2 and would like to know how to name the PDF file with a field value from the form when " save form " or " submit " button are clicked.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mithun.M.I

    You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
    You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
    Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?

  • Write the results script of results log pane to XLS or CSV file with VBA.

    Hi,
    How can I write the results script of results log pane to XLS or CSV file with VBA code or something? I tried so hard but i can't.
    Thanks

    MoGas,
    This is actually not a trivial process. You need to use the results object and code it to write to your file (it is described in the help files).
    e-Tester automatically saves the results log as a text file so you may just want to stick with that for simplicity.

  • File with various field lengths non - fixed cardinalities problem

    Hallo all,
    we have the following problem.
    we implemented a scenario as sown in this blog
    /people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/06/08/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-various-field-lengths-and-variable-substructures-to-xi-30
    but there is a problem.
    If the file structure is declared as :
    Header,1,Items,*
    then the adapter does not even read the file from the directory (so I assume that for some reason the file structure is not as expected).
    If on the other had the structured is declared as :
    Header,1,Items,3
    everything works.
    Obviously though, this is not satisfying since we need variable cardinalities.
    Any suggestions and help is appreciated
    Thank you .

    Well, I will write the main tests we tried, in case that the situation could be cleared :
    I have a specific file in a standard directory, called xi_input. The file is edited straight into that directory, so there can't be filename errors etc.
    If the file is left empty :
    Nothing happens . No message of any kind in sxmb_moni/monitoring xml messages .
    If the file contains the following (data is random) , where 'H' is the key for the header and 'I' is the key for the items :
    H     20060403     16     3     316001     kapou     lalla     morellala     20060403     F3     23
    I     277101010     2
    I     277101011     3
    I     277101012     4
    There are to cases :
    if the file structure is declared as :
    Header,1,Items,*
    Then nothing happens .
    If on the other had the structured is declared as :
    Header,1,Items,3
    everything works .
    I guess there is now a more clear picture of the problem.
    As for whether the file adapter does care about the file contents or not, I think that if the Message Protocol is "Message Content Conversion", then it does check the structure.
