KeyFieldName in Fixed file content conversion

hi,
I am using FCC to convert the incoming paylaod to XML.
Due to Multimapping on sender side the structure on source side has got two extra tags :
Messages
> Message1
>FCI002__MT
>row
>Fields
If I simply use FCI002_MT in document name and row,* in recordset structure then the mapping is failing at MT node.Because the structure after FCC is:
FCI002_MT
>row
>fields
and If i use
Document name: Messages
Recordset structure: Message,1,FCI002_MT,1,row,*
Then it asks for key field and I don't have any key field.
I need help and kindly suggest the way out.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Indu Khurana.

hi,
Yes,You are right.I don't have to add these Message tags.
That what my question is: As these tags have been added due to multimapping now for FCC do I need to put <Messages> & <message1> in adapter configuration?
Messages as Document name and message1,1 in Record structure?
Or these tags doesn't effect the normal conversion procudure to XML?
Thanks..

Error in Sender File content Conversion - how to ignore keyfieldName

Dear Frndz,
I'm new to SAP PI. I want to post a flat file to ECC.
The Souce Structure is:
Record(1-unbounded)
    |_Header(1.1)
          field1
          field2
          field3
    |_Detail(1.unbounded0
        field4

second header - aa,bb,cc
Detail 1 -     1,g,d
I wrote the file content conversion as follows
   Recordset name - Record

Header.fieldNames field1,field2,field3
Header.feldseparator ,
Header.endseparator 'nl'

Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Mandatory parameter 'xml.keyfieldName': no value found
It's asking me to give the input to keyfieldname. But I dont have such field in my record. Ther's no common field . no field is repeating like record type or doc_type as in other cases.
So, Coud you please guide me to proceed with this.
Thanks in advance.....

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.

in the adopter monitoring it show it pics the file from Legacy(file adopter display green), where as SXMB_MONI it is not showing any thing.
can any body help on this do I need to maintain any other parameters for file content conversion.
Thanks

HI,
I can see that.
The number of characters in the file for TABLE2 is lesser then the number of field size given.
for eg. if the table2 fixed field length sum is 20 ,your file contains only 10 characters. Please give complete data for table2
Test file
100WELCOME 0430000960603201321

There is no root node, so in your FCC you need to mention your RecordsetName and you can ignoreRecordSetName in result structure. Check the following blog simulates your requirement.

Trailing spaces problem during file content conversion

I have developed a proxy to file scenario.And am using file content conversion for creating the file. The file is to be a fixed length file.
File Structure
<Header>
<Item>
<Item Trailer>
<File Trailer>
Each tab in the file has the last character mapped to spaces.
Eg: Header00000001 2006011700000000020060<blank   space>
Item00000001        2006011700000000020060<blank   space>
The problem is that during file content conversion. XI does not preserve trailing spaces at the end of the line i.e.if a particular line in the file ends with space. It terminates the line at the last non-space character (in this case at 060).
However we are required to maintain these trailing spaces at the end of each line.
I have tried preserve white space in data type that does not work.
I know that xslt mapping may solve the problem but I am looking for a workaround with my current graphical mapping.
Looking for suggestions !!
Thanks,
Rashida

Hi,
I have the problem quite opposite to this where we are getting the trailing spaces at end of each record which should not come.
File structure is
<Record>
- <Data>
<Content>11/09/2007@210@ZACSL007@GBB-56436@PS01@29@1044@19@646@0</Content>
</Data>
</Record>
............. n records
<Header>
<File_Name>UK01</File_Name>
</Header>
Record structure in communication channel used is
Header, Data
Data.fieldFixedLengths     1024
Data.addHeaderLine     0
Header.addHeaderLine     0
Header.fieldFixedLengths     0
Header.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
Data.fixedLengthTooShortHandling     Cut
Header.endSeparator     '0'
Actually if the length of record is less than 1024, rest of the length is being filled with spaces which should not occur.
Many advanced thanks.

Doubt regarding Sender adapter file content conversion to RFC

Hi Experts,
Below is the my Source and Target XML structure ( i have creaated source structure same as target RFC structure), This scenario is working fine when i give XML file as input. File -> XI -> RFC , xml file is able to update the information in R3.
How should i configure sender file adapter for file content conversion for above structure(in this case input is fixed lenth text), and i could able to change source structure according to our req, without changing target RFC strucuture.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_HSA_IDNumber xmlns:ns0="urn:passhe.com/UpdateIdNumberISA32">
   <COMMIT_I>X</COMMIT_I>
   <IDENTIFICATION>

      <VALID_TO>20091231</VALID_TO>
   </IDENTIFICATION>
</ns0:MT_HSA_IDNumber>
I have configured sender file adapter with FCC like :
Document name as: MT_HSA_IDNumber
Document name space as: urn:passhe.com/UpdateIdNumberISA32
Record structure as: COMMIT_I,1,IDENTIFICATION,1
COMMIT_I.fieldNames : COMMIT_I
COMMIT_I.fieldFixedlengths: 1
IDENTIFICATION.fieldNames: STUDENT,ID_TYPE,ID_NUMBER,VALID_FROM,VALID_TO
IDENTIFICATION.fieldFixedlengths: 12,6,60,8,8
i am getting error like this: even when i change source structure like below metioned:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_HSA_IDNumber xmlns:ns0="urn:passhe.com/UpdateIdNumberISA32">
   <COMMIT>
      <COMMIT_I>X</COMMIT_I>

Please help me out
thanks

Hi Dhanush,
Try giving the Sender FCC this way for the source structure you have mentioned above.
Record structure as: COMMIT,1,IDENTIFICATION,1
COMMIT.fieldNames : COMMIT_I
COMMIT.fieldFixedlengths: 1
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards,

File Sender adapter with File content conversion

Hi
I'm having problems picking up a flat file that has some junk characters in the file.
I'm usign a file sender adapter with file content conversion. The adapters shows the following error-
Conversion of complete file content of to XML format failed around position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
this is the sample data with junk char's -
A20099201009999009999060815160505051700130008151vÿÿÿÿ³ r 0OK0476 31N016227241915840IV 00840 ÿÿÿ ÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿ ÿÿÿ
There is not much in the file content conversion. This is a fixed length file, I'm just pickign it up & passing it to an inbound proxy. All my processing is in the proxy.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Rachana

Hi Rachana,
Do you use a specific "encoding" like UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 in your Sender CC?
To be simple, Encoding is linked to country, you can find all "iso-nnnn" via google or some of them in sap help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
Moreover, with your source file opened thanks to Notepad (for instance), use option "save UNDER", you will the encoding use by your file

I dont' have a key field value. How do we remove the header and show only the values in the xml output. I have searched the forum topics as well checked many blogs related to file content conversion, but nothing helped. Kindly advice how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Praveen,
Change your File Adapter as below
Document Name - MT_LegacyEmployee
Document Namespace - http://abc.com/xi
Recordset Name - Employees
Rescordset Structure - Employee,*
Recordsets per Message - 1
Key Field Type - String (Case Sensitive)
Employee.fieldSeparator - ;
Employee.endSeparator - 'nl'
Employee.fieldNames - PERNR,KID,PNALT,NACHN,NAME2,VORNA
There is no need for the Header required in the data type.
DT_LegacyEmployee (Category - Complex Type)
Employees (Category - Element, Occurence - 1)
Employee (Categroy - Element, Type - DT_LegacyEmployee_Row, Occurence - 0...unbounded)
PERNR
KID
PNALT
NACHN
NAME2
VORNA
Now the trick is in the mapping program
Lets assume your mapping looks like
MT_LegacyEmployee ---> MT_TargetEmployee
- Employees ---> Records
   - Employee ---> Record
     - PERNR ---> TargetPERNR
     - .. so on
When you do a mapping from Employee ---> Record apply the following logic.
(PERNR)--->
             (TestEquals =) --->(NOT)--->
(Constant) --->                                (IF)
(PERNR)                       (IF Without Else) ---> (Record)
                                               (THEN)
                            (Employee)--->
When doing this make sure RightClick on PERNR and Select Context ---> Employees.
By default context would be from Employee and it will give you an error of XSD format. So make sure you are changing the context.

File content conversion in Sender Adapater for multiple occurances

Hi ,
I am mapping from flat file to idoc .
My flat file is a tab demilited
Since the idoc would have structure
like header , lineitem , schedule
in my flat file conversion
i am giving recordset structure
as header,1,lineitem ,,schedule,
since lineitem would be repeated many times
Bt if i give * i need to give a keyfieldname
which would mean that keyfieldname has to appaer in header and schedule .
since in my case my Column values in header , lineitem and schedule are different
how can i do the file conversion in this case
i can doing something like this
header.keyFieldValue ""
schedule.keyFieldValue ""
header.keyFieldInStructure ignore
schedule.keyFieldInStructure ignore
i am not even sure if thats the correct way
Thanks
Amit
