Key Field Value in Sender File Adapter

Hi,
I am having a File>XI>File scenerio.
The incoming file is having a fixed length content and is coming in as a single Header and multiple Line Item records. The single header is the first record and the rest are line item.
The problem is that we do not have a keyfield, for the header as well as the Item records.
Is there any possible configuration that I can do to still read the file; without specifying the parameters, xml.header.keyFieldName & xml.Header.keyFieldValue for the header and xml.Item.keyFieldName & xml.Item.keyFieldValue for the Item structures in which I would like to read my data.
I am curretly using SP12.

Anshul

Hi Mohan,
The Source File is coming like below:
121000248 xyz 20051215120158
9600193091 1000000 1000000 JEN'S TEST 9600193091 1000001 1000001
9600193091 1000002 1000002 HSI METAL 9600193091 1000003 1000003
First record will always be a header and the rest of the records will be Item records.
Note: There will always be one header in the File.
The problem is that we do not have a keyfield, for the header as well as the Item records
Is there any possible configuration that I can do to still read the file; without specifying the parameters, xml.header.keyFieldName & xml.Header.keyFieldValue for the header and xml.Item.keyFieldName & xml.Item.keyFieldValue for the Item structures in which I would like to read my data.
Data type Structure is like :
Header
bankl
name
Item
AcountNo
CheckNo
Payee
If you need further clarification please do let me know.

HI
Read the file without using key field. Just define the FCC parameters Header and Items PI will pick the file.
DT_Source
   Record
     Header 0..1
       PO_Number String 0..1
     Items 0..unbounded
       Items String 0..1
Do the FCC
Header.fieldnames PO_Number
other config for Header
Items.fieldnames Items
other config for items
Thanks

Key field from content - Sender file adapter content conversion

I am reading a source CSV file that has this structure. All rows in the source file are the same structure: line items of a PO. But there will be multiple POs in a single file, identified by the PO number as one column in the file.
PONum,LineItemNum,Qty,Description
001,1,34,Carrots
001,2,17,Apples
001,3,22,Bananas
002,1,4,Mangos
002,2,9,Coconuts
003,1,44,Grapes
Goal is to generate 3 messages, one for each PO:
<po>
 <num>001</num>
 <line_items>
 ... 3 line items for PO # 001 ...
 </line_items>
</po>
<po>
 <num>002</num>
 <line_items>
 ... 2 line items for PO # 002 ...
 </line_items>
</po>
<po>
 <num>003</num>
 <line_items>
 ... 1 line item for PO # 003 ...
 </line_items>
</po>
Is there any way to use the Content Conversion Key Field Name to group the line items into the correct 3 messages? "Key Field Name" expects a static identifier for each type of row; but mine varies by the PO number in the content.
Or do I need to do this in the mapping? If so, what is the easiest way to split 1 large message of all line items into multiple target messages based on the PO number? (I assume this is better than sending individual line item messages and aggregating them later, as long as the file size is OK.)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Robert,
If ur goal is to split into 3 messages one for each PO, you can go for message split and using graphical mapping you can achieve that.
Within the message mapping go to the tab Messages.
Change the occurrence of the target message to 0..unbounded.
Also this link may help you.

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.

how to pick this file using FCC from sendere flat file adapter without keyfields , and i can use fixed length also

Hi,
with multiple nodes structure( like header and item in your case) you need to have a key field to process this file to a desidered structure using FCC.
Alternatively you can pick all these records as a single node type and classify it as header/items in your mapping by identifiing how each one differs frm other.

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.

File Content Conversion - Key Field Value

Hi Experts,
I am using File to Idoc scenario for my mapping. In the receiver Communication channel, I am using File Content Conversion. My scenario is as follows :
I have a recordset with Header and Line items with Key Field Indicator as 'H' and 'L'. In some cases, the value for this Key Field is coming in as something other than 'H' and 'L'. I need to throw an exception when this Key Field is not 'H' or 'L'.
In the 'Content Conversion' tab, my attributes are as:
Header_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'H' and Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'L'. Is there any more attributes that I need to add ?
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Freddy.

>>multiple key field values in FCC configuration i.e Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = H or L
AFAIK it is not possible but lets wait for other experts to comment on this...
>>Can keyFieldInStructure (add, ignore) parameter help me in this case ?
No. this parameter is only used when you want to include key filed in ur XML structure(add) or not (ignore)...

How to convert flat file to XMl without key field value

Hi experts,
I have a input CSV Flat file which has got one HEADER line and Multiple Detail records.
I do not have any key field value to convert this FLAT file to XML using normal file content conversion.
Is there any module or Bean which can be used to convert this Flat File to XML.
Or any other remedy to overcome this problrm.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for the reply.
Ur understanding is perfectly alright.Lets say my file is like below.

010205000038,PIONEER AGENCIES,0.00,-696386.00,303614.00
I am not using the first line in the mappiing.
Are you saying that I need to ignore the first line while doing the conversion using Recordset OFFSET ?
Or do I need to make a single structure taking all the fields from header as well as details and while defining the structure I need to ignore the fields from header?
Please suggest.

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

Sender File Adapter - Content Conversion

HI Friends,
I got a scenario where I need to convert the File to XML document through Sender file adapter..
My file looks like below.
BATCH1234........
12DASER123142JMM
237DSAFDLKC839890
45SDFLASJ90011
BATCH3455...
132FGAR
SD21352525
BATCH998898...
123145DSRTW
12FSTS
So there is a Header and Body for each record set..
My XML Structure is as follows.
<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.
Regards,
Kumar

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,
Bhanu
