New Line with File Content Conversion

Hi there
I have a interesting question, I need to add a new line in the middle of a flat file. I read an idoc and using content conversion I convert it to a flat file. Is there any way I can divide the idoc into 2 parts separated by a new line?
Thanx,
Jan

Hi,
In my opinion using the regular FCC method I guess it will be not possible to create a new line in the middle of flat file. You can take the help of java mapping as described in bleow mentioned blogs to convert it into flat file. I am not sure but you can try with these options...

New line in file content conversion....

hi,
i have a scenario where i need to seperate two records with 2 lines
example
<record1> name1 name2 name 3
<record2> name11 name22 name 33
where each records seperated by 2 lines
i have tried using a endSeparator with 'nl' two times but it was no help
kindly helkp me on this
with regards

Hi,
In FCC use two time Record.endSeparators
Like
Record.endSeparator - 'nl'
Record.endSeparator - 'nl'
I think this will solve yr problem.

Splitting to new line in file content conversion in File Receiver adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to split the Header and Line item in separate lines. If the Target structure as follows:
RecordSet>Record>Header-->LineItem.
If I do Header and LineItem at the same level, I do not have a problem. If I do that I could not able to map from Idoc correctly. Therefore, I have to do LinteItem tag within Header.
Please thru some Ideas , how we can this.
Thanks

Problem with File Content Conversion

Hi All
I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
This is my sample file structure:
Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
Field1 in Header
Field2 in Header
Item(Occ-1 to n)
Field3 in Item
Field4 in Item
<<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
<<Field5>> in ItemType
<<Field6>> in ItemType
<<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
<<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
<<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
Field9
Field10
There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
KeyField Name: Type
Following are parameters defiled:
Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
item.fieldseperator: ,
item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
item.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
itemType.fieldseperator: ,
itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,
itemTypecategory.fieldfieldnames: field7,field8
itemTypecategory.endseperator: 'nl'
Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
Footer.fieldseperator: ,
Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
Now, i pass the following file:
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):
00,111
05,222
<<10,333>>
<<<<15,444>>>>
20,555
But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
Sorry for this long question.
Many Thanks
Chandra

You will always get a flat structure from FCC. If you want hierarchichal strucuture, you have to create a target and map. You will get only like -
Root
--Recordset
Group1
Fields
Grop2
Fields
Group3

Problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter

Hi All
I have a problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter.
This is my recordset structure: Header_Record,1,Claim_Record,*,Check_Rec,1
These are the content conversion parameters:
Header_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Header_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Claim_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Claim_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Check_Rec.fieldSeparator = ,
Check_Rec.endSeparator = 'nl'
In SXMB_MONI, i can see that the data is correctly extracted from proxy, and correctly mapped to receiver message, and i see a checkered flag (success).
But, Adapter status is RED with the following error message:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter '1.fieldFixedLengths' or '1.fieldSeparator' is missing
In communication channel monitoring, i get the following error message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
What is going wrong here? Can anyone please tell me?
Thanks

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

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:

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

Problem with File content conversion and parameters

Hi experts,
What is the use of file content conversion that is available in file adapter? For what cases we can use it?
What do the different content conversion parameters mean?
Kindly help
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
We use the file content convertion to conver the flat file that is text file into XML,
File adapter cant understand the format the file is,so we have to declare the content convertion parameters.
Check some links which will tell how the convertion is done.

Problmes with file content conversion

Hi,
I have a working ftp file adapter. When I now try to switch this adapter to file content conversion, the adapter doesn't work. It doesn't even tries to connect to the ftp-server.
Is it possible, that I have forget to fill out some information in the content conversion parameters or is there something wrong with the installation of the XI server?!
We have XI 3.0 SP11
Thank you for your help
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
i saw the links about the data type into which the CSV should be converted and the parameters you have given for the content conversion.
You have entered the following values:
Recordset Name: set
Recordset Structure: row,3
Key Field Name: empty
and the data type that you want looks like:
<DT_INPUT>
              <row>
                      <A></A>
                      <B></B>
                      <C></C>
               </row>
</DT_INPUT>
also u have given the occurrence of recordset row as unbounded.
For this to happen, you need to change some entries in Content Conversion Parameters, these are:
Recordset Name: row
Recordset Structure: row,*
Key Field Name: row
Moreover in your additional parameters you have given:
row.fieldNames -
A;B;C
please use comma ',' as a field separator and not the semicolon ';'
Make these changes and i hope your scenario works fine,
thanks and regards,
Varun Joshi

Remove blank line after File Content Conversion

I have a File>Conversion on PI7.0 (SP10).
It seems to add a blank line. The XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:EPIWCountFile xmlns:ns0="urn:com.somewhere.overthere.nothere">
<Personal_Area>LU</Personal_Area>
- <detail>
<recordCount>17</recordCount>
</detail>
</ns0:EPIWCountFile>
The conversion is done:
recordset Structure=detail,
name=detail.fieldseparator ,
The output file is
17
Hopefully you can see the blank line before the number!???
I have changed the contexts while processing, and played with other options, but it always adds a blank line at the begin.
All this file is a count of the number of records processed. (The personal_area is for a variable name for file/folder creation)
How can I remove the blank line, as the target system fails due to this anomaly?

If you are in a development environment, try this
Make your target structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:EPIWCountFile xmlns:ns0="urn:com.somewhere.overthere.nothere">
- <detail>
<b><Personal_Area>LU</Personal_Area></b>
<recordCount>17</recordCount>
</detail>
</ns0:EPIWCountFile>
Content conversion parameter
detail.fieldFixedLengths 0,2
detail.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut
P.S: If you need <Pesonal_Area> tag only for File/Folder Name, then why dont you use Adapter specific Identifiers to achieve the same.

Jai Shankar

Problem with File Content Conversion (Receiver FIle Adapter)

Hi Experts,
I have following structure in receiver side:
MT_Test
   F1
   F2
   F3
   F4
Now I want a CSV file in target side in below format:
F1,F2,F3,F4
I have provided below config in receiver file adapter under content conversion tab:
Recordset Structure : MT_Test
MT_Test.fieldSeperator= ,
MT_Test.endSeperator= 'nl'
But this is generating blank CSV files in target directory..What might be the reason.. I have checked the msg in adapter engine, the XML file is correct and contains valid values for the fields..Its something like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_Test>
   <F1>Hai</F1>
   <F2>Hello</F2>
   <F3>Bye</F3>
   <F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
I should get CSV file as
Hai,Hello,Bye,Hi
But I am getting a blank file with above said config parameters in content conversion tab.
What might be the reason for getting blank CSV files in target side???
Thanks,
Adi

Hi Adi,
>>My target structure in below format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
So, try to edit Data type and include hierarchy level above <F1>.
Finally your Target Structure will resembles like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<Structure>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</Structure>
</MT_Test>
FCC Parameters will be like this.
Structure.fieldSeparator = ,
Structure.endSeparator = 'nl'
Hope you were clear.
Thanks,
Siva.

Strange Problem with File Content Conversion (Sender)

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I have a sender file adapter with content conversion (csv -> xml). The adapter produces the following error during the processing...
- 2006-02-06 16:34:00 CET: Error: Conversion of part of file content of 'OE_Extractor_47_ISW112_SC-Ireland.csv' to XML format failed around position 1202: IOException: Stream closed
After the 4th or 5th try the adapter processes the file correctly.
Why does it works after several tries and not at the first time? (The file is not changed during the adapter is trying to convert it)
Thanks
Thomas

I found the problem, something was wrong with the ftp server

Receiver File Adapter with File content Conversion

I have a requirement to send 2 different files to the target directory. Source is the same and different mapping for the 2 files.
This I can achieve through multi-mapping but there is a problem. How can I use the File content for receiver File adapter which is using Multimapping.
The structure of the 2 files also different.

Why would you need FCC on receiver file adapter? If you need different files to be generated from the source, you could create two receiver channels with different mappings and just add them to the same Receiver Detemination. Isn't feasible?
