Key field in sender file adapter

Hi All,
I am using FCC ( sender) to convert a flat file into XML .I have a record structure of the following type : HEADER,1,DETAIL,,SUBDETAIL, . The problem is i dont have any KEYFIELD in HEADER or DETAIL or SUBDETAIL . Is it possible to do FCC with out having KEYFIELD.
Regards,
Tarun.

Hi Tarun !
You don't have any data that relates details with subdetails? Are the records ordered in source structure to define which subdetails belongs to which detail?
Maybe you can process detail and subdetails structures as one (as a raw line of characters) and then via mapping, split the fields and get the lines in order to determine which subdetails belongs to what detail..

Key Field Value for File Adapter Sender Wildcard

Hello everybody, is there a way to use a wildcard for the property of NamA.keyFieldValue in the cc for a Fils Sender????, here's an example why, I need to take some Files via PI 7.0 and my key filed can change according to the file an example is that in a file can be HF28 and in another file can be HF29, the only character that is going to be constant is the H, I would really appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julio Cesar

Hi Julio
File sender adapter will read the file using FCC
Key Field Value entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry can be ignored

Key field value in outbound/sender file adapter

Hi,
I have a flat file coming in PI. The structre for the same is
1. Detail record line ocurs n number of time
2.Summary record line occurs only once at the end
I have defined a datatype as follows
<DT>
 <Recordset>
 <Detail>
 All the detail fields
 </Detail>
 <Summary>
 All the summary fields
 </Summary>
</Recordset>
</DT>
Now the number of detail record is not know. But there is only one summary record.
In the sender file adapter do we need to configure the keyfield paramter? If the number of detail record is * .
The problem is the input file does not has any key field to parse/identify the detail or sumary record.
Any alternative?
Thanks

hi ,
if you have two structures so do like this:
Recordset strucrure detail,summary*
detail.fieldFixedlength : 10,20
detail.fieldNames : xxx,yyy
summary.fieldFixedlength : 10,20
summary.fieldNames : www,vvv
rest configuration will be same.
hope this will help.

File content Conversion Issuse for a Sender File Adapter

Sender File Adapter. Fixed Lengths and Field Separator

Hello guys,
I have a doubt in Sender File Adapter with Content Conversion.
I have a text file like:
a,b,c,,e
I have the configuration in the adapter:
Register.fieldNames: a,b,c,d,e
Register.fieldSeparator: ,
The question I have is can I format the length of the text when i create the XML?
I woul like to create the XML like:
<Row>
<Register>
 <a>a </a>
 <a>b </a>
 <a>c </a>
 <a> </a>
 <a>e </a>
</Register>
</Row>
I would like that when I create the file in Field A I have length = 4, but I have only 1 in the entry, and I want to fill the rest of the length with spaces.
I tried with FieldFixedLengths but when I test it the fields are not being formatted and take the commas as part of the field.
I know that this can be done in Receiver File Adapter, you leave for example one field of 5 length and you format it to 12 length with spaces.
Is this possible for Sender File ADapter?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Xavi.

hi,
See the example given in this bog, in this blog the string has been splited into different fields as per the field length, so you may use the same concept to get your output.

Sender File Adapter - FCC - No incoming field separator - How to do FCC?

Hi,
I have a sender File adapter and I need to do the File Content Conversion but there apparently no incoming field separator and the file ocntains just running text - no data records but just information.
For example the incoming file is something like:
                                The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited                      27JAN2009       PAGE 1

The Message type that I am mapping to contains:
MT_XXXX
     WA
          Item
          Item2
          Item3
This is so that the information can be mapped to different field areas and send across to the Receiver Mail Adapter. In the mail i receive, i get the running text. I tried giving the field separator as '0x09' but it is not working.
I have also tried WA..fieldContentFormatting to nothing but again no luck.
I have tried with Recordset Sequence with Ascending and variable and have also tried Recordsets per Message with * and blank - but it did not help.
Please advice.

Archana

Hi,
I assumed that it was tab but when I made the change in FCC, it did not work.
I would still like to have a output where it looks like below if more than 2 types of information in 1 line as below:
ABC IAL LIMITED                     ABU DHABI, UAE
ABC MIDDLE EAST                  Account No. 001-9999999999999
and not something like:
ABC IAL LIMITED ABU DHABI, UAE
ABC MIDDLE EAST Account No. 001-999999999999
I am not sure what to do here.
Help please.

Mapping problem due to FCC in sender file adapter

Hi All
I am doing File( Flat File ) to RFC Scenario.it is working fine..
the problem comes in mapping with multiple records.
FCC at sender file adapter is used
my Data Type are :
Source DT Target RFC import parameter(table).
E2ED20* ITEM*
 KEY VBELN
 VBELN POSNR
E2E24* CHARG
 KEY
 POSNR
 CHARG
*->>multiple occurence
E2ED20 and E2E24 are 2 segment ,KEY is used in FCC to identify E2EDL20 & E2EDL24
My source text file is like this :
E2EDL20 0200
E2EDL24 xyz
E2EDL20 0201
E2EDL24 abc
E2EDL24 efg
E2EDL24 mln
E2EDL20 0202
E2EDL24 gty
so the payload should be :
0200 xyz
0201 abc
0201 efg
0201 mln
0202 gty
in FCC ignoer record set= true
otherwise is not called...
i try to use split by value & use oneasmany , not helpfull.
in message mapping when i checked th field VBELN -> display queue
i am getting an array 0200
 0201
 0202 in white fields
thanks & regards

Complex structures in Sender File adapter

Hi Experts
I am working on XI 3.0 SP 22. How do we handle the complex structures in sender file adapter in file content conversion.
Please help me out.
Regards
Hari

Hi,
FCC can support upto max 3 levels, find below link for more help

Content Conversion ( The Key Field Problem )

KeyFieldValue in Sender File Adapter Not Working

Hi,
I have a flat file like this...
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3....
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3.....
1Field1Field2Filed3.....
2Field1Field2Field3....
My requirement is to pick only lines starting with '1'.
I have configured the Sender File Adapter like this,
Recordset Structure : SOURCE,*
Key Field Name: KF
Key Field Type : String(Case-Sensitive)
File Content Conversion:
SOURCE.fieldFixedLengths 1,5,5,5....
SOURCE.fieldNames KF,FIELD1,FIELD2....
SOURCE.keyFieldValue 1
After all this, still it picks up all the recored instead of records starting with '1'. Can any one solve this?
Regards,
Sreedhar

If you feel module processor is bit tough you can use XSLT Mapping which is simple in sloving ur problem.
Check this blog to do a sample example using module processor.

Is a record ID field required for File Adapter (Header, Body, Trailer)?

Hi,
File to File scenario. The sender file is a text file i.e. .txt which needs a conversion on the sender file adapter. There are three structures in the file namely header (one), body (many) and Trailer (one). From what I can see I need a record Id field (with the same name) in all the structure types, can anyone confirm this for me?
Thanks,
Leanne

That is correct. If you have a variable number of records of a particular type, then you need a way to accurately identify each type of record... and that is done via the key field (or Record ID) which is present in each record type.
Extract from SAP Online Help:
Key Field Name
If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value *, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from their content. A key field must be set with different constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key field, and the field name must occur in all substructures.
Specify the Key Field Type to be used to compare the predefined values. This entry is used if the key field name is defined.
NameA.keyFieldValue: Specify the value of the key field for the structure. This entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry is ignored.
For more info, refer to the SAP Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/frameset.htm

<TimeStructure>
<TimeRecord>
 <ControlRec>
 <Field1>BATCH </Field1>
 <Field2> ...</Field2>
 </ControlRec>
 <DataRec>
 <F1> ...... </F1>
 <F2> ...... </F2>
 </DataRec>
</TimeRecord>
<TimeRecord>
 <ControlRec>
 <Field1> BATCH </Field1>
 <Field2> ADFAS </Field2>
 </ControlRec>
 <DataRec>
 <F1> ...... </F1>
 <F2> ...... </F2>
 </DataRec>
 </TimeRecord>
</TimeStructure>
The blog <a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem:///people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
is somewhat relevant to my requirement.
But the problem is I have the keyfield "BATCH" for my header file but don't have any key field in the data record of the input file.
Please help me out how to mention the configuration parameters.

Hi,
If you don't have constant key value for your detail records, then you can not directly get the required xml.
So in this case, you can read all the records in a common Row model, i.e each record will be considered as a one row with all the values, and then split this row with Substring or java functions in the mapping.
Even you can do this in the Adapter module .
If you have key value for each record to identify then you can try with content conversion.

Sender file adapter error

Hi,
The sender file adapter is reading a fixed width file . The file is not to be seen in the sxmb_moni. In the adapter monitoring is showing processed and green in color.
How do i resolve this issue.
In my recordset contains multiple substructures
<Recordset>
 <Header>
 type
 code
 id
 </Header>
 <Item>
 type
 qty
 price
 </Item>
</Recordset>
Header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5,10
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldNames = TYPE,CODE,ID
Header.keyFieldValue = 01
Item.fieldFixedLengths = 4,5
Item.endSeparator = 'nl'
Item.fieldNames = QTY,PRICE
Item.keyFieldValue = 02
What should i give in keyFieldValue . Is the above configuration correct.
Kindly suggest
Thanks

Hi,
The key field value is normally a record type identifier. For example, a header record may always start with '1' or 'HD', and an item record may always start with '2' or 'IT' in your file. The 'type' field, which appears in both header and item records in your example, fits in as the identifier.
So, your parameters should be:
Header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5,10 (or maybe 2,5,10)
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldNames = TYPE,CODE,ID
Header.keyFieldValue = 1 (or maybe HD)
Item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,4,5 (or maybe 2,4,5)
Item.endSeparator = 'nl'
Item.fieldNames = TYPE,QTY,PRICE
Item.keyFieldValue = 2 (or maybe IT)
If your file has varying values of TYPE instead of 1,2 (or HD or IT), the File Adapter will not be able to handle the structured file. You may have to choose the option 'File without content conversion'.
Hope this helps,

Required Changes in FCC Paramenters for Sender File Adapter.

Hi
I am Doing File-File Scenario.I am using FCC in the Sender File Adapter. I have defined the structure as below.
My Source Structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source xmlns:ns0="http://city.net/filecopy">
 <Message>
 <Id>123</Id>
 <Head>
 <Id>123</Id>
 <Filename>test.xml</Filename>
 </Head>
 <Body>Helloworld</Body>
 </Message>
</ns0:MT_Source_FILE>
So for the above structure, I have defined the FCC Parameters as
Document Name: MT_Source (Message Type)
Document Namespace:http://city.net/filecopy(Namespace)
Recordset Name: Message (root node)
Recordset Structure: Message,1,Head,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordsets per message:1
Keyfield Type: string
In the Table Rows I have defined
Message.fieldFixedLengths: 3,10
Message.fieldNames: Id, Body
Message.fieldSeparator: ,
Message.endSeparator: 'nl'
Head.fieldFixedLengths: 3,8
Head.fieldSeparator: ,
Head.endSeparator: 'nl'
Head.fieldNames: Id, Filename.
My Input Text file
123,Helloworld
123,text.xml
I am Getting Output as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:MT_Source xmlns:ns="http://city.net/filecopy">
- <Message>
- <Message>
<Id>123</Id>
<Body>HelloWorld</Body>
</Message>
- <Head>
<Id>123</Id>
<Filename>test.xml</Filename>
</Head>
</Message>
</ns:MT_Source>
I should get Body field after Head Structure as in the Source Structure, So Please what changes do I need to do in the Parameters Specified above to get the desired Output.
So How should I define the FCC Paramenters For Sender File Adapter ?
Any Help Would be Appreciated.

Vaildating File name with the data in the file using sender file adapter

Hi,
Below is the scenario
1) Pick up files from a FTP server, the file name is dynamic, how do I put dynamic name in sender file adapter?
2) Determine if the user correctly named the file based on data in the file.
a. File naming structure that we will be concerned with is <company_code><accounting_time_period>.<extension>
b. The company code and the time period in the file name have to match the data in the file.
i. For example. If the file name is 1001_200712.csv and the data in the file is for company code 1005, time period 200712, the file is incorrectly named. Both values must be correct.
How do we do this?

Hi Sachin,
 As Rightly said by Krishna, You can not put Dynamic name in sender File Adapter .You have to provide the name of the file like "*.txt" in Sender Adapter and at runtime you can access this file name by using following UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
return (valueOld);
As now you have picked up the file name at runtime.
Now concatenate source file fields Company_code and Accounting_timeperiod using "_" as delimiter in properties.Also concat the extension .Now you have required file name.
So using EQUALS standard function ,compare it with File Name fetched at runtime using above given UDF, and pass result as you desire to process further or not or to raise Alert to resend the file.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag Garg
You can validate this file name in Mapping itself.
