Need an error for no keyFieldValue during File Content Conversion

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a scenario where I have to convert a CSV file structure.
Each sender file is having "END" in the last so that the structure looks like as follows:
I,103468,-No Entry-,299103468002,0.010,50.000,1.000,-49.990,None,,0,Diab
S,3101,100.125,abc,abc
END
Now the requirement is, if file does not contain "END" in the last then PI should not pick this file.
This is only possible if I make "END" as a Key Field and for "keyFieldValue" I assign value "END" with either end separator or field fixed length functions.
But the default behaviour of PI is, even if I create key field value, if it is not available in the file, PI would ignore that record.
I tried all possible combination in the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
but for key field value it is clearly written that:
"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."
Is there any way by which I get error if "END" is not available?
One of the alternatives which I see is to create OS level scripts and read the content. If I don't get "END" in the last then put the same file in a different, temporary directory. And once processing is done I pull it back to original directory
Any suggestion on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Vikash

Dear Mickael,
I tried putting "1" in the last and executed but it did not helped. File is executing successfully even if there is no END in the last.
so the current behaviour is: whatever written or even blank in the last, if it is not "END", it is ignored. If I mention "END" in the last, it is always picked by FCC and inserted in the XML.
Do you think some other way of proceeding?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikash

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.

File-Sender: Verification of file content during file content conversion

Hello,
I have a question regarding file verification when using the file-sender adapter.
I got a flat file (.csv) that I convert into XML with the file-sender adapter and file-content-conversion.
In the file there is a column RecTyp that is my KeyFieldValue. Possible values for RecTyp are B, D, U, T.
So far so good. All this works perfectly.
If (due to an error) there is another value in RecTyp than the 4 mentioned above (B;D;U;T) the file adapter ignores this row today. And here begins my issue:
I want to change this behavior. That means in detail, I want to check if there is another value in my KeyFieldValue RecTyp than specified. If this is the case an exception should be thrown. The whole message should not be delivered.
We had the idea to use the module-processor for this verification.
But may be there are other suggestions. Or may be some one can provide an appropriate module that is already written, etc.
Does anyone have an idea?
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi,
It is better to pick the file in generic way i.e Row by Row and then go with the validation with the help of Adapter Modules or in the Mapping.

Please help in configuring the sender DT, MM and in doing File Content Conversion.
Waiting for your reply.

File Receiver Adapter(File Content Conversion)

Hi All,
If i open my file using notepad after File Content Conversion i am seeing a BOX kind of Symbol after Every Row ..
but the same file if i open using word i am not seening that BOX ,,and the file is perfect ..can any plz tell what is the reason ... ?
i gave<b> filedfixedlenght & Endsaparator</b> only
is that i need to add any thing in the File Content Conversion parameters...
thanks
shakif

Hi Mohammad,
If I am not wrong "Box kind of symbol" would be "Symbol" for end of the line(EOL).
In win-word if you click on "Show/Hide tab" You will see same symbols.
Does it makes any problem while processing file?
Let us know more details.

Module processor enhancement with file content conversion

Hi All,
I have a bean (module processor) that converts the a PDF doc to text. I need to use the same bean with file content conversion. Module processor processing sequence is as follows:
1) My Bean: localejbs/myBean
2) Default: localejbs/CallSapAdapter (Bean for file content conversion).
When I tried the same (myBean + File adapter with file content conversion) , it was not working as expected. But the same bean works fine with normal file adapter (myBean + File adapter without file content conversion).
Couldn't figure out the reason. Please help.
Regards,
Ajay.

As the content conversion of the file adapter is done before calling the customer module, it is not possible to use both.
As workaround you can do the file content conversion with help of the MessageTransformBean. In the module chain you put the MessageTransformBean after your module.
Note that the configuration of the MessageTransformBean has to be done like the J2SE sender file adapter:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/00453c91f37151e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

Receiver File Content Conversion - Multiple Hier. Levels, Several Files

you can create several files using single message execution.
one source message structure and target multiple messgae types(0..1) occurance
and same thing you can implement in your Interface mapping.
1 -> Multiple Inbound interfaces
your target final strcture would be with Header,lineitems.
your JDBC->XI Intermedicate.
XI Intermediate ->XI final (this final structure will create the your file)
that way you can design your scenario.
Regards,
Venu.

Hello Venu, thanks for answering,
When you talk about intermediate structure you are referring to the approach I mentioned in the link above or to something that can be done using the same scenario structure I have right now?
I am going I little bit deeper in my scenario just in case I havent been so clear in my first explanation:
Lets suppose I have 3 stores: 1001,1002,1003
For each store there are 2 items: 999,888
So XI retrieves the information from the DB thru a stored procedure. This is the output:
STORE--PLU
1001--999
1001--888
1002--999
1002--888
1003--999
1003--888
Please note the information is coming in a flat structure. In the beginning I tried to separate it into several outputs (selects) as shown below but I relaized that was not possible to be handled by XI:
STORE--PLU
query 1
1001--999
1001--888
query2
1002--999
1002--888
query
1003--999
1003--888
That would have been the best approach as I would have generated one single file for each message and thats it, but unfortunately, Xi does not work that way with MSSQL Queries. So I had to made something up based on the answers I got from the SDN experts (Link is below in first message). There was when I used context handling for generating the structures myself within one single message.
In the scenario shown above I would have just needed to generate the following structure for creating messages from the source:
Level1: Main Node
Level 2: Header
Level 2: Body
But now, As I am forced to generate my 3 structures within 1 single message, I had to insert one more node to wrap header and body in per iteration (as a file would do):
Level1: Main Node
Level2: File
Level3: Header
Level3: Body
And that is the problem I am asking help for, that allegedly, XI File Content conversion can just handle up to 2 levels.
Thanks again for answering Venu.
Regards.

File is not creating on the Receiver for File Content Conversion

Hi,
i have created a scenario with this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
for sender side i am using File Content Conversion to read .txt file and on receiver side i need xml file i have done that.
when i placed the file in the sender folder it gets picked up and i checked in Communication Channel monitporing in Runtime WorkBench it is processed Successfully. but no XML File is created on the Receiver side. i am unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also.
Please suggest some ideas to solve this.
Thanks,
Giridhar.C

Hi Giridhar.
unable to see the messages on SXMB_MONI also
If the file got picked and in Communication Channel monitoring RWB you can see that it is processed without any errors ,, then i feel it should come in come.Please check the Audit log in RWB, there you can see the error message if any.
Please check the connection parameters in FTP and make sure that the same sender folder is
not being used by any other scenario.If you have done any recent changes then do a cache refresh .
Please post if you see any error in content conversion.

Hi Varun...
Regarding ur error.....the name and password u send in csv is not getting recognised.. so u have to check the data type structure.
there must be a recordset name and subelement must be recordset structure..the data type must be
<datatypename>
      <recordsetname>
           <recordsetructurename>
              <name>
               <password>
please try in this format and ur name and password will get recognised

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

Error in Receiver File adapter using File content Conversion

Hi,
I am getting the following error in the receiver file adapter.
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'statement.fieldFixedLengths' or 'statement.fieldSeparator' is missing
I am using the below parameters for FCC:
Recordset Structure - statement
statement.endSeparator - 'nl'
statement.fieldSeparator - '0X09'
statement.fieldNames -xblnr,wrbtr,newbs,kostl,newko,prctr,xref1,rke_wwfud,rke_wwst3,blart,bukrs,bldate,budat,gjahr,monat,ctype,waers,bktxt,posnr,wbs_element,mwxkz,businessplace,businessplace,c_waers,c_wrbtr,g_ctype,g_waers,g_wrbtr,h_ctype,h_waers,h_wrbtr,trade_id,lob,sgtxt,zuonr,reason_rev,ldgrp,tcode,lifnr
ignoreRecordsetName - true
Please let me know where i am going wrong.
Thanks,
Aparna

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm]
Hope this helps !!
