Preserve spaces in File Content Conversion

Dears colleagues,
we have a problem with the File Content Conversion in SAP PI 7.1
We send an IDOC from SAP to PI and a file to an external system. For example we have:
IDOC Z,
Segment S1 with fields
F1
F2
Segment S2 with fields
F3
F4
the mapping contains:
Z-S1-F1 --> File-Fiedl1 ( lenght 5 )
Z-S1-F2 --> File-Field2 ( lenght 5 )
Z-S2-F3 --> File-Field3 ( lenght 5 )
Z-S2-F4 --> File-Field4 ( lenght 5 )
If all the fields come filled the mapping it's ok and the result too, but if for example the second segment didn't come, the mapping it's ok ( no error in sxmb_moni ) but the result doesn't preserve the las 10 positions.
Any idea¿?
Thanks in advance.
JC.

Use the following parameters in your FCC..
<recordsetName>.fieldFixedLength = 5,5,5,5,5

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 Content Conversion Removes Leading Blank/Space

I'm having a problem where file content conversion is trimming leading blanks/space/whitespace from fields when reading in the inbound file. I've seen where people have posted that you need to use fieldContentFormatting to prevent content conversion from stripping the leading/trailing whitespace. I added that parameter to my list (see below example) but it still appears to be trimming the leading whitespace. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Here are the details:
I'm using fixed length file content conversion for Sender File Adapter (SP15). I have the following parameters set:
Document Name = MaterialData
Recordset name = item
Recordset Structure = MaterialLine, 1
I have:
MaterialLine.fieldNames = matno_external, mat_description
MaterialLine.fieldFixedLengths = 40, 40
MaterialLine.fieldContentFormatting = nothing, nothing
The following is the input file (notice spaces prior to second occurrence of material numbers)
ZED00000001 AIMS LIGHT A
ZED00000001 AIMS LIGHT B
ZED00000002 AIMS SWITCH A
ZED00000002 AIMS SWITCH B
ZED00000003 AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR A
ZED00000003 AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR B
The following is the source XML after file content conversion from SXMB_MONI (note spaces no longer exist in matno_external tag).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:MaterialData xmlns:ns="http://xxxxxxx.com/yyy/test">
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000001</matno_external>
<mat_description>AIMS LIGHT A</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000001</matno_external>
<create_date>10/09/06</create_date>
<mat_description>AIMS LIGHT B</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000002</matno_external>
<mat_description>AIMS SWITCH A</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000002</matno_external>
<mat_description>AIMS SWITCH B</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000003</matno_external>
<mat_description>AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR A</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
- <item>
- <MaterialLine>
<matno_external>ZED00000003</matno_external>
<mat_description>AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR B</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
</ns:MaterialData>

Thanks all for your attempts but I figured it out and wasn't this the biggest case of irony.
Here I was trying to prevent leading spaces from being trimmed in the loading of my file and my problem was that when I typed:
MaterialLine.fieldContentFormatting
I actually left a "blank" at the end of the "g" in Formatting. Apparently XI didn't like that and neither gave me a runtime or compile error. Anyway I found this and though I'd share in case anyone else encounters it. I removed the blank and all is working now.

Spaces getting trimmed in file content conversion

Hi all,
I am converting a flat file to an XML file by XI. The problem which i am facing in file content conversion is that the spaces in flat file data are getting trimmed to one space in the XML in SXMB_MONI.
The data in flat file is like SOUTHSEA and HANTS is having nearly 8 spaces.
But the data in XML is:
SOUTHSEA HANTS PO5 2LZ PO5 2LZ020327 i.e. in XML, there is only 1 space between SOUTHSEA and HANTS.
The following parameters i have used in file content conversion:
.keyFieldValue '*'
.fieldSeparator 'nl'
.fieldNames RECORD_DATA
.ignoreRecordsetName true
I am taking each record of the flat-file in a single record RECORD_DATA in XML.
So can anyone tell me why the big spaces are getting trimmed to a single space eg. between SOUTHSEA and HANTS etc.
Thanks in advance.
Rajeev Gupta

Hi,
try :
NameA.fieldContentFormatting = nothing 
as the default is trim

As per the client req I'm going with FCC. The file is picking fine with the FILE. But not picking with the FCC.
The parameters which I gave are as follows.
SOURCE I feel it is fine since file is picking fine and keeping the same for FCC also.
PROCESSING
QOS -- Exactly Once
Poll Interval -- 10
Processing Mode -- Delete
Empty-File Handling -- Process empty files
CONTENT CONVERSION Parameters
Document Name -- (am giving sender data type name) DT_send

Recordset Structure -- SEND,*
Recordset Sequence -- Ascending
Recordset per Message -- 0
And in the table the parameters am settings are
SEND.fieldNames abc,bcd,cde,def,efg,ghk
SEND.fieldFixedLengths 7,7,7,7,7,7 (because each and every field has 7 characters)
SEND.keepIncompleteFields No
SEND.fieldFixedLengthType char
SEND.fieldContentFormatting trim
SEND.fieldEndSeparator 'nl'
This was the configuration. But this is not working I monitored the Communication Channel and file is not reading and not getting deleting.
What actually went wrong in above configuration. Why it is not working.
Thanks.

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.

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>

 <ID_NUMBER>testxml</ID_NUMBER>
 <VALID_FROM>20070421</VALID_FROM>
 <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>

Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'COMMIT_I.fieldFixedLengths' or 'COMMIT_I.fieldSeparator' is missing Consistency check: no. of arguments in 'COMMIT_I.fieldFixedLength' does not match 'COMMIT_I.fieldNames' (0 <> 1)
Please help me out
thanks
dhanush

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 content conversion query

hi,
i have sender and received side -file content conversion.
in sender communication channel -
Recordset structure is -> Header,1,Detail,*
Message type structure is
MT1 has 2 subnodes Header and Detail.
In my message type,there is no field identical in Header and Details. All fields are different.
(1) Is Key Field Name mandatory in this case ? If I am not giving Key field name,sender channel gives error. How to resolve it ?
(2) Input file comes from customer and in the input file there is no specific data to identify header and detail. 1st line shud be header and other lines shud be Detail ,they say. If no identification coming in incoming data,how can we set the key field name ?
rgds

Hi SAP PI,
 For this moment try this.
Let the file content is like this
03456451 TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464
12344 60042
45678 60043
You try reading the file like this
<MT_S>
 <RECORDSET>
 <ROW>
 <field1>03456451</field1>
 <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
 </ROW>
 <ROW>
 <field1>03456451</field1>
 <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
 </ROW>
 <ROW>
 <field1>03456451</field1>
 <field2>TESTDATABC 7645649 8746464</field1>
 </ROW>
</RECORDSET>
</MT_S>
FCC is like this
Document Name : MT_S
Document Namespace: "put name space here"
Recordset Name: RECORDSET
Recordset Structure: ROW,*
ROW.fieldNames field1,field2
ROW.endSeparator 'nl'
ROW.fieldSeparator 0x20
Once you get this in mapping use a simple UDF to ignore the first ROW values and read the rest.
Populate the target structure from the output of UDF for each field value.
Please let me know if you need the uDF and further mapping for this.

File to File scenario, file content conversion

HI there,
I am facing this scenario, flat file -> XI -> flat file. Files are fixed length ones and .txt.
the structure of the incoming file is something like:
field1field2field3field4
field1field2field3field4field5
That means that there is no separation between fields (neither comma nor space) and there are optional fields that may appear or not.
My aim is to transform this file into another file, XI will do some maps with some fields but the rest will be the same (same fieldnames and same field lengths). So, the outcoming file should be similar as the incoming one:
field1field2field3field4(transformed)
field1field2field3field4field5
These are my FCC parameters (i think i have to use FCC):
Row.fieldNames= field1,field2,field3....
Row.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,4....
Row.processConfiguration=FromConfiguration
Row.endSeparator='nl'
...and my data type structure:
DT_XX
Record
 Row
 field1
 field2
Here are my questions:
I have configurated the file content conversion in sender and receiver adapter, are they both necessary or should i only configurate the sender??
How can i manage the fields that are not mandatory?
What should be the transfer mode, binary or text?
I am a new come in development so, could anyone of you please give some support??
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
David

Hi David,
I have configurated the file content conversion in sender and receiver adapter, are they both necessary or should i only configurate the sender??
YES.
Suppose you only confgure it for sender then the target file that is generated will be in XML format.
How can i manage the fields that are not mandatory?
If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure the you can set
Row.missingLastfields = ignore / add / error
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
What should be the transfer mode, binary or text?
If it is a txt file then text and set code page as UTF-8else binary.
Cheers,

FILE CONTENT CONVERSION PARAMETERS

HI
 my source file is text format.. and source struture is contain only two fields.. but the data was getting from source is large string.. like in the bellow format i'm getting the source files..
FI 6E151/AN VT-IND
DT BKK MAA 250445 M14A

like this three lines i'm getting for 2 fields.. i want to send entire the first line to first field. and the next two lines i want to send to next field..( the 2nd and 3 rd lines data both i want to send into a particular field only..
so, in file content conversion what are the paramenters i need to pass.. plz suggest me..
but if i use as normal parametrs the first line was not going completely to the first field of the source
insted of that where ever i'm getting space in the first line.. from that it was going to second field but the remaning 2 lines data it was not going to any fields...
thanks

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

Hi Sudheer reddy,
 Good question.
File content conversion parameters are:
1) Doccument Name: Doccument name is nothing but message type name for file side: MT_FileSend
2) Doccument Namespace: mention the name space for the message type.
3) Doccument Offset: for which row and which coloumn doccument has to be write.
4) recordset name: mention the record set name: Recordset
5) Recordset Namespace: if the namespace is different for message type name space mention name space or otherwise it is blank.
6) Recordset Structure: Mention the structure name
7) Recordset Sequence: mention the sequence of the recordset Ascending or Decending
8) Recordset permessage: Would define no of record sets per message.
9) Key-field name: to query to the doccument
10) Key field type: string(Case-senstive)
fieldValues
fieldSeparator
endSeparator
Note: pls check in SDN about file content conversions it so many blogs are available, u can easily understand.

Hi,
Try to handle this with the context in the mapping.
I think your mapped xml will look like this-
100ABCDEF 043000096 0603201321
200000000
40010016020059332 0 00000000 010424400
40010016010059347 0 00000000 000008250

50000000640672060320ABCDEF 043000096

SO this is because of context problem. All similar nodes are grouped in the Message Mapping.
1) For this you can try with Context Handling - i.e using RemoveContext,SPlity value functions etc in the message mapping.
2) Another way use XSLT mapping here. In this case it will be easier, because you just need to read the input xml as it is and produce the same.
3) One more thing, your input xml looks as if is the output xml. Is it required to have mapping here? If there is no transformation required, then you can do without any mapping, and you will get the required output as it is ..

FIle Content Conversion Problem in IDOC-XI-File Scenario

Dear All,
I am doing IDOC-XI-FILE scenario.
I am facing one problem related to File Content Coversion.My requirement was to generate a dynamic file like %store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut , But I am unable to suppress it Can some body provide me the details on this .
The output xml version generated by Reciever file adapter is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
Plz provide me the code I have to write in the file content conversion .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prabhat

If u see my earlier reply, I mentioned that u can not suppress the field from the one node.i.e Form SITE_DATA data type u can not suppress the field called CURRENT_DATE.
My suggestion is that , modify the Data type in such a way that you will be having two nodes as I have mentioned earlier. Then use the Suppress Logic for the Current Date.
So it will look like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
<CURR_DATE>
<CURRENT_DATE>20051105</CURRENT_DATE>
</CURR_DATE>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
So ur SITE_DATA is not having a field called CURRENT_DATE. This field is in separate node (segment ) called CURR_DATE. Now u can use the Suppress Logic for the same like this.
CURR_DATE.fieldFixedLengths - 0
CURR_DATE.fixedLengthTooShortHanling - Cut
And in your Variable Substitution you can use the date from the other segment called CURR_DATE.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Problem in file content conversion from XML to CSV

Hi Experts,
I am finding problem in file content conversion. I need to convert the following XML file into CSV file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_CROSS_REF xmlns:ns0="urn:dabur:idoc2file:pos">
 <Update_type>2</Update_type>
 <PLU>00000000</PLU>
 <Cross_ref_PLU>7777777</Cross_ref_PLU>
 <Capture_PLU />
 <Package_size />
 <Package_desc />
</ns0:MT_CROSS_REF>
The output file data has to be like:
2,00000000,7777777,,,,
The problem I am facing is while specifying the content conversion parameters in communication channel i dont know what recordset structure i should mention as all the records are directly under root. If I mention recordset structure as "ns0:MT_CROSS_REF" and parameters as
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.fieldSeparator ,
ns0:MT_CROSS_REF.endSeparator 'nl'
i get error in communication channel monitoring and no file is posted.
Please help me as to what correct parameter i should mention in my case.
Thanks,
Regards,
Yash

Hi Chirag,
I cannot change the xml file as it comes after mapping idoc to a message type. How can I add ROOT in the xml? My message type is like MT_CROSS_REF and it has those 6 fields as in the XML (Update_type, PLU etc.). I do the mapping of these fields from a IDOC and get the XML.
I hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Yash

Complex file content conversion in case of CSV file

Hi Friends,
What you see below is generated from Excel i.e excel file saved as CSV file. This file i need to map in XI.
Problem is i have to take only the data and not the header part.
for e.g in this particular line
Employee ID          :,,E00315
I need only E0315 and not the header value. Similarly i have to find some solution to map all the required data.
Please suggest me how to use file content conversion in such scenarios.
Solution is required on top priority. Points will be immdly rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
K.Ramesh
