Line sequence in File Adapter

Hi all,
I need to define how does the line sequence of a file has to be created.
For example, I have 3 structures in target mapping side:
struct1 (1..unbounded)
struct2 (1..unbounded)
struct3 (1..1)
Actually, the file is created in this way:
struct1
struct1
struct1
struct2
struct2
struct2
struct3
And in the file that must be created, I need to have this info inside it as this:
struct1
struct2
struct1
struct2
struct1
struct2
struct3
Does anybody know how can I do this with a file receiver adapter?

Thanks Aravind for the reply.
I'm going to try it in that way, but is there a simple way to do this so I don't have to create again all the mapping after changing the DT? I mean if there is a chance to manipulate this in the file receiver adapter with content conversion.
Edit: in the way you told me to do this, I am not able to have the struct3 at the end of the target mapping. I can have it once but in the first one. It is like this:
struct1
struct2
struct3
struct1
struct2
struct1
struct2
struct1
struct2
And I need the struct3 to be at the end of the map.
any idea?

Multiple Header line in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
I have an issue in Receiver File adapter with multiple header lines. I am able to get only 1 header lines in the receiver file but not multiple header lines with 'nl' since it is static in file mode
[CommunityTag:Header]
empNo,EmpName,Age
[CommunityTag]
I tried with the below in content conversion one as below with no luck
Root.addHeaderLine=1
Root.headerLine=[CommunityTag:Header] 'nl' empNo,EmpName,Age 'nl' [CommunityTag]
Root.fiedSeparator=,
Root.endSeparator='nl'
I am getting the Header line as same row as static text.
Can you advise this.

Hi Gabriel, I suggest to produce the header lines from additional nodes in the message payload. That means you need to modify the data type of the target message in order to generate an extra structure in the payload. Use constants in message mapping to generate the header column names, e.g.
<Header>
<H1>CommunityTag:Header</H1>
<H2>empNo,EmpName,Age</H2>
<H3>CommunityTag</H3>
</Header>
In content conversion you have to convert the Header row with
Header.endSeparator='nl'
You won't need parameter addHeaderLine anymore then.

New line character in File adapter

I am having a receiver file adapter which generates files with multiple lines.
My problem is when the target file is opened in notepad there is no line break and the lines comes as continous string with small rectangle as separator.This fails the target upload program.
When I remove those small squares in notepad and hit enter and then upload it gets uploaded successfully.
Is there any way to have line break so that new line will be generated each time (the documenation says the by-default it adds new line character then why in notepad it opens like a continous string?)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev

Hello
I know by default File Adapter value is line break. But if I open that generated file in notepad, the record does'nt appear on the new line. Instead at the end of each line there is special character added at the end of each record. When I hit enter and deletes that special character and then try to load that file it gets loaded successfully.
So my problem is how to generate the file will give record on the new line. I tried to give 'nl' as endSeparator.
How to give hexadecimal values? I tried giving '0xHH' but that gives error in File Adapter
"Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "HH"
Thanks in advance.

Blank line in receiver file adapter content conversion

Hi,
I am using a receiver file adapter. Everything is working fine. Except that a blank line is put by the file adapter between each records. It is a flat file format.
I have used the stting below. How do we remove the blank line?
Recordset : ACCTHDR,BATCHDR,TRANSREC,BATCHTLR,FILETLR
ACCTHDR.fieldFixedLengths 1,7,4,9,8,665
ACCTHDR.absoluteRowWidth 694
ACCTHDR.addHeaderLine 0
Thanks
Sachin K

Hi,
.endSeparator
The default value is a line break (no explicit separator after the last column; instead the structures are arranged line-by-line).
If you enter a character string here, the system adds it to the last column as a closing character. You can also make this specification in addition to NameA.fieldFixedLengths. To include a line break following the closing character, you must explicitly define it by attaching ´nl´ (including the quotation marks) to the string.

EOIO sequence XI file adapter

Hi All,
The scenario is below:
1. File Adaper polls a unix folder every 10 minutes, and comm channel is set as EOIO. A queue name prefix is specified in the comm channel.
2. If 30 files are found, they are all sent to a BPM receiver for processing on the Integration Engine. 30 separate BPM instances are triggered (but each one is actually running the same BPM definition).
3. Although the files appear in SXMB_MONI in the correct sequence, they are not processed in sequence - e.g. the files are sometimes be processed in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4...8....5, 6, 7
4. The messages are all assigned to a queue id.... XBQO$PE_WS91100160, and although if an error occurs in one message, the queue can be stopped, the problem is that the transactions in this
queue are not necessarily in the sequence the files were found by the File Adapter
We have tried adding a "Only Once" queue option in SWF_INB_CONF, but to no avail. The sequence of the messages still appears to be unreliable.
In SXMB_ADM, we have tried to specify filter prioritisation. once again, to no avail.
Some additional information. An ABAP mapping class is being called in the BPM, and we have used this to track the sequence of the files being processed (by writing into a logging table).
My problem is at the time when the files go through EOIO queue and arrive at the BPM, the order has already changed. And according to the note833740, BPE should support EOIO at arrival side. Any more thought?

Hi Karun

In this file, I have different structures which could appear unsteady.
Means, every could structure appear in a non continuous way:
File:
struc1
struc2
struc3
struc3
struc3
struc1
struc1

Hi,
do you mean like this:

Every struc1 to struc3 should be a single message.
And how to specifiy line break in file adapter?

Receiver file adapter command line

hi,
i am just wondering how to use command line on receiver file adapter.
i am not clear how to use this.
please modify on the following command!
anyway, i have to call java application after put some files by receiver file adapter.
cmd.exe %Fjava ./javacalltest
it did not work..
please guide me.
Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after a file has been successfully processed. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)

File Adapter 7.11 - set operating system command line dynamically

Hi,
is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
thx
holger

hi,
>>>is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
>>>I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
think about this approach:
you put the XSL values into the filename after the real name of the file
in the batch script you use those values in order to execute a dynamic exe command
after processing you just change the name of the file in the script by removing the xsl values
simple ? I think so

OracleSOA - File Adapter - Correct mechanism to get the line number from the file

We are using Oracle SOA process to read data from a file, process the data and write it to the database. SOA process is created using Oracle File Adapter to read the data, Oracle BPEL to transform & process the data and Oracle DB Adapter to write the data into the database.
Oracle File Adapter uses native schema to process the fixed length data in the file. The number of rows in the file may exceed more than 500,000, to support processing of large files we use chunk size in the file adapter as 4000 rows. In each read operation, file adapter reads the data that matches to the schema, there might be few rejected rows as well.
Oracle File Adapter property - jca.file.LineNumber gives me only the line number till what line the data is read. Is there any way to get the line number in the xml message, which exactly matches to the line number in the file.?
Flat File Format: (Every file has one header, trailer and multiple data lines),
HEADER02 -
L01
L01
L01
TRAILER02
Line number is one of the crucial requirement in the development of the SOA service, this is used to back trace the information from which source and line the data has come.

Hi Anshul,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I am using DB adapter to insert the data into db.
While doing the xsl transformation I can get the index of the message using position(), but that is not the correct way as there can be rejected lines by the file adapter.
Even if I maintain a local counter variable, it will not consider rejected lines and increment that, which is not correct.
Thanks,
Ravindra

File adapter-How to set line break in text file-split record into two lines

Dear Guru's,
I have to solve following problem with XML (with mulitiple records) to TEXT file scenario using file adapter. I have to output for ever ONE data record in XML always two identical lines in text file. Second line should have a little bit different mapping in few fields like date,... So I did duplicate fileds in my output structure in mapping and need to know how to set line break in the middle and see half of structure in first line and next structure half in second line
My output structure in mapping is:
CASHFLOW
- INTERFACE
- GESELLSCHAFT
- ANWENDUNG
- PRODUKT
- VERTRAG
- BETRAG
- WAEHRUNG
- DIRECTION
- BEWEGUNGSTYP
- FAELLIGKEIT
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG
- ZAHLUNGSTAG
- RENDITE
- INTERFACE2
- GESELLSCHAFT2
- ANWENDUNG2
- PRODUKT2
- VERTRAG2
- BETRAG2
- WAEHRUNG2
- DIRECTION2
- BEWEGUNGSTYP2
- FAELLIGKEIT2
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2
- ZAHLUNGSTAG2
- RENDITE2
Question is how can I set on receiving file adapter in Content Conversion Parameters that fields from first structure half INTERFACE...RENDITE should be outputed in one line and fields from second half of structure INTERFACE2...RENDITE2 should start on second line in final text file.
I'm getting at the moment one line only and I need to know how can set line break so that second line starting with INTERFACE2(CA)...RENDITE2 will start in new line.
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000",CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
This should be final output:
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000"
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
My file adapter settings:
RecordsetStructure=CASHFLOW
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE,GESELLSCHAFT,ANWENDUNG,PRODUKT,VERTRAG,BETRAG,WAEHRUNG,DIRECTION,BEWEGUNGSTYP,FAELLIGKEIT,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG,ZAHLUNGSTAG,RENDITE
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
CASHFLOW.endSeparator='nl'
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE2,GESELLSCHAFT2,ANWENDUNG2,PRODUKT2,VERTRAG2,BETRAG2,WAEHRUNG2,DIRECTION2,BEWEGUNGSTYP2,FAELLIGKEIT2,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2,ZAHLUNGSTAG2,RENDITE2
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
It wont help if I add two identical structures in mapping because in output i would see for multiple entries section with first lines only and after that section with second lines only. And CASHFLOW is one part of more complex mapping ...
(This is final output structure RecordsetStructure=HEADER,CASHFLOW,CONDITION,REFERENCE,CONTRACT - more sections with different data and all these should have duplicate lines at the end)
Thanks a lot for any help
Cheers
Marian

Hi Ivan,
right, I did test just for sure.
Putting constant 'nl' into field CASHFLOW-INTERFACE1 didnt help - still getting one line instead two lines.
CA ,"0100" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,2 ,12 ,2009-01-28 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-28 ,"0.0000000" ,'nl' ,"GTP1" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,1 ,10 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,"0.0000000"
So there is still question. Is there any way (mapping,...) how to output always 2 lines in text file for one record in XML. It always does 1 record in mapping structure = 1 line but we need 2 lines ...
Example:
Input: 4 records in XML
Output: 8 lines in final text file ...
Thanks to you all guys

White lines generateds in a File Adapter when using variable substitution.

How to customize the File Adapter to put the header line in a variable?

I have a file in which the first line contains the number of records contained by the file itself.
Like this:
4
record1
record2
record3
record4
where each record is a delimited list of values
I need to validate that the records are actually 4.
in the documentation of the File Adapter I see that you can declare the first line as "header", but I have the impression that in this case it would be simply ignored, and not stored in a variable for later use......
Is this correct?
Any trick or workaround?
thank you soooo much!

it worked like a charm,
here is the XSD I have used:
