Multiple Header Lines in Flat-File read by FileSenderAdapter

Hello XI and File Sender Adapter Species
We have the following file with fixed file lengths:
#H1 F1
#H2 F1
#H3 F1
#H4 F1
#H5 F1
#H6 F1
#D1 Field1 - Fieldn
#D2 Field1 - Fieldm
#D2 Field1 - Fieldm
#D1 Field1 - Fieldn
#D2 Field1 - Fieldm
#D2 Field1 - Fieldm
#F F1
Concrete example as follows:
#H1 150
#H2 ECH150_20070709_026745152.dat
#H3 20070709_1600

This File Should be read via the File Sender Adapter and afterwards mapped into the following idoc structure:
IDOC-Type
ZUECH_010
Header Segment: H1, H2, H3, H4 , H5 ,H6
Detail1Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldn
Detail2Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldm
Detail2Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldm
Detail1Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldn
Detail2Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldm
Detail2Segment: Field1, Field2 . Fieldm
FooterSegment: Field1
Now my Questions:
1.     As far as I know it is not possible to configure in the filesender adapter 2 different Record sets? We need two record sets, one for the header lines whose occurrences are once per File and one for the detail lines? Does anybody know if this is possible?
2.     Any other ideas for a simple solution?
Thanks for a soon answer.
Regards Marlies

Thanks all very much for your answers:
The hint from Praveen was very helpful.
If possible we need a solution with the graphical mapping tool and as far as possible without UDF, because at the moment there is no java developer.
The file adapter now produces the following xml structure:
<ZUECH_0150>
<recordset>
    <H1>
     <KH1>#H1</KH1>
     <H1>150</H1>
    </H1>
    <H2>
     <KH2>#H2</KH2>
                   <H2>ECH150_20070709_026745152.dat</H2>
          </H2>
          <H3>
               <KH3>#H3</KH3>
               <H3>20070709_1600</H3>
          </H3>
          <H4>
               <KH4>#H4</KH4>
               <H4>9.0</H4>
          </H4>
          <H5>
               <KH5>#H5</KH5>
               <H5>8712423010208</H5>
          </H5>
          <H6>
               <KH6>#H6</KH6>
               <H6>8712423009202</H6>
          </H6>
          <MDDTD3>
               <KMDDTD3>#MDDTD3</KMDDTD3>
               <MDDTD3>146307732 146202845 </MDDTD3>
          </MDDTD3>
          <MDDTD4>
               <KMDDTD4>#MDDTD4</KMDDTD4>
               <MDDTD4>59664          E10</MDDTD4>
          </MDDTD4>
          <MDDTD4>
               <KMDDTD4>#MDDTD4</KMDDTD4>
               <MDDTD4>30180          E11</MDDTD4>
          </MDDTD4>
     </recordset>
</ ZUECH_0150>
I would prefer the following structure, because it fits exactly to the structure of the idoc.
That means the mapping is very simple:
<ZUECH_0150>
      <HEADER>
              <H1>150</H1>
              <H2> ECH150_20070709_026745152.dat</H1>
      </HEADER>
      <MDDTD3>
             <KMDDTD3></KMDDTD3>
             <MDDTD3>146307732 146202845</MDDTD3>
                <MDDTD4>
               <KMDDTD4>#MDDTD4</KMDDTD4>
               <MDDTD4>59664          E10</MDDTD4>
          </MDDTD4>
          <MDDTD4>
               <KMDDTD4>#MDDTD4</KMDDTD4>
               <MDDTD4>30180          E11</MDDTD4>
          </MDDTD4>
      </MDDTD3>
</ZUECH_0150>
Now my new questions:
1.     Is it possible to configure the file adapter to produce a xml structure which afterwards can be mapped with a simple graphical mapping into the idoc structure?
(I can live with the suggestion from Praveen, that the header information is in each recordset but only has content in the first one.)
2.     What about the MDDTD4? It is a substructure from MDDTD3. Is it possible to configure this in the file adapter?
Thanks a lot for your help and a soon answer.
Regards Marlies

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.

in this case how could I separate the header lines from the flat file and update the details to my internal table.
kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks and regards,
M.S.Amirtharajvijay.

Hi Amirthraj,
If the flat file is static (if the content within it is same for all) then use the offset concept. First get the contents of the flat file into an internal table and later find the field that has to be in final internal table within the line, calculate the offset for the line and get the value into an workarea. Finally modify/append the work area into an internal table. Also wait for other experts answers for any other hassle free way to achieve the requirement.

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 not able to create PO's for multiple rows from the flat fil

Hi
i am uploading PO's from a flat file into SAP using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1. Everything works fine if the flat file hast only one record.
if the flat file has more than one record then while loading the second record the BAPI returns a error message. I am calling the BAPI in a loop.
The strange thing is that if i load the second record individually the program is able to create the PO. So only when i have multiple records in the flat file i am unable to load the PO into SAP. I debugged and checked all the internal tables passed to the BAPI. All seems to have the data correctly but still the BAPI fails.
any idea where i am going wrong?
the code looks something like this.
LOOP AT HEADER_ITAB.
   PERFORM FILL_HEADER_RECORDS.
LOOP AT ITEM_ITAB WHERE EBELN eq HEADER_ITAB-EBELN.
     PERFORM FILL_ITEM_RECORDS.
ENDLOOP.
PERFORM CERATE_PO_VIA_BAPI.
ENDLOOP.

What is the error message. Are you trying something like this:
    LOOP AT T_DATA1.
      AT NEW LIFNR.
        READ TABLE T_DATA1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
        PERFORM INIT_TABLES.
        PERFORM FILL_DATA.

Dynamic Header Values in Flat File Destination

Hi,
I have to put 'T' or 'P' as part of a header in a flat file destination. The header is sourced via a work table which defines what the header looks like. One of the columns should contain 'T' for test or 'P' for production. When the package is executed in
the test environment, 'T' should appear as part of the header. When the package is executed in the production environment, 'P' should appear as part of the header.
Any ideas on how to achieve this is very much welcome.
Thanks,
AJ

Package parameter indicating the environment and a DerivedColumn transform that generates a column with T or P depending on the parameter value.

Hi Subrat ,
u can upload the data either ( Master /Transaction) data with the help of lsmw. for that all u need to do is go through the lsmw and do it. in that u can go Batch input recording/ BAPI/ IDOC any of that. here i am sending the LSMW Notes go through it and do the work.
once u create the LSMW project then u can ask the data from user or u can explain the user about the program and can run the flat file to upload the data.
if u require LSMW material Just send me blank mail from u. my mail id is [email protected]

Hi,
I think we could handle this with may be usage of Advanced UDF in Graphical mapping only.
Here as per the condition you are deleting the particular record but unknowingly blank value i.e. " " is getting passed so on target side blank node is created for this record.
You need to just avoid this blank Node.
If you can share the logic you have applied for Middle field as well the source and target structure I will be able to try the UDF code..based on it
Thanks

Multiple Header Line In HIERSEQ ALV

Hi Experts,
Please guide me how to get miltile Header lines in the HIERSEQ Alv , My requirment it develop a genledger for customers in which the Address of customer should be in 3 or four lines then followed by its balances. Please suggest me ...
Regards,
Prakash

Hi,
You need to pass the Row number to the filed catlog in order to display multiple header lines.
For example,
   wl_fieldcat-row_pos = 1. " This field will be displayed in first row
wl_fieldcat-col_pos     = 1.
wl_fieldcat-fieldname   = 'VBELN'.
wl_fieldcat-tabname     = 'T_VBAK'.
wl_fieldcat-outputlen   = 20.
Append wl_fieldcat to t_fieldcat.
wl_fieldcat-row_pos = 2.    " This field will be displayed in Second row
wl_fieldcat-col_pos     = 1.
wl_fieldcat-fieldname   = 'VBELN'.
wl_fieldcat-tabname     = 'T_VBAK'.
wl_fieldcat-outputlen   = 20.
Append wl_fieldcat to t_fieldcat.

Export multiple tables into one flat file

I have data in multiple tables on a processing database that I need to move up to a production database. I want to export the data into a flat file, ftp it to the production server and have another job pick up the file and process it. I am looking for
design suggestions on how to get multiple tables into one flat file using SSIS?
Thank You.

Hey,
Without a bit more detail, as per Russels response, its difficult to give an exact recommendation.
Essentially, you would first add a data flow task to your control flow. Create a source per table, then direct the output of each into an union all task. The output from the union all task would then be directed to a flat file destination.
Within the union all task you can map the various input columns into the appropriate outputs.
If the sources are different, it would probably be easiest to add a derived column task in-between the source and the union all, adding columns as appropriate and setting a default value that can be easily identified later (again depending on your requirements).
Hope that helps,
Jamie

Merge/Concat Multiple Columns in a Flat-File wthin ODI

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a quick way to merge/concat multiple columns in a Flat-File from within ODI, a functionality kinda similar to Essbase load rule files for join/split columns etc.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Looks like the CONCAT function works only with Memory Engine. Could someone please confirm this? If this is true, I guess applying the patch is the only resolution.
Thanks

Script or command line to comment out multiple lines in flat files

I am looking for a way to go through multiple flat files within the same directory for the occurance of a server name and if found to insert a comment (#) at the beginning of the line. Currently, I am grepping for the server name within the directory and then doing a vi on each individual flat file to comment out the line. The server name is separated by the pipe (|) symbol and each line of every file is in this format:
webservers:WEBSERVER|Env Name|servername|application name
So, in the above, I am grepping for the servername part and if found in there, I want to change the line to:
#webservers:WEBSERVER|Env Name|servername|application name
I would think there would be a way of doing this either with command line Perl or with maybe awk or sed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could do something like this with a ksh shell script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
for file in `ls`; do
echo $file
sed 's/^webserver/#webserver/g' $file > $file.parsed; mv $file.parsed $file
doneThis will go through everyfile in the directory and search for "start of line" webserver and replace it with "#webserver". Then the file will get move back to the original file name.
If you just want to change certain files ie. only filenames with the word "server" in it, then change:
for file in `ls`; do to something like
for file in `ls *server*`; doHope this help...
Cheers

Vertical line in flat file

Hello experts,
In flat file ' | ' (vertical line) is maintained as seperator.
flat file format: J|1|A|
here
J is data of column-1
1 is data of column-2
A is data of column-3.
'|' is seperator,
I want to upload.
When i tried to upload the file with the same in internal table it gives me like this :
Column1   column2   column3
     J               |             1
how do i resolve this problem???
any sample code??

i hv added new code that it can be converted into internal table format. ie. it will show with header line.
just check this code it will work definately..
