Probelm with file conversion

Hi
Iam doing File-XI-File scenario,where i send .txt file from source to Target with out any changes.
I simply pick it form source directory and place in Target.
Now if there is any Space between charcters inSource ,it is replacing with '#' in target.
No file content conversion is used.
Please help....

Hi,
From the content it seems that ur file is : separated. I think u need to use the FCC.
USe:
NameA.fieldSeparator
If you make an entry here, the system expects that the structure contains the specified character string (one or more characters) as a separator between the individual columns.
If you have not made an entry for fieldFixedLengths, this is the only specification to identify the individual columns in a row.
If you made a specification for fieldFixedLengths, the extra length of the separator is taken into account, but no further consistency checks are performed.
Thnx

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 <b>value2</b> value3
I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

sorry but the message tags will not be add dynamically
i have change an existing message mapping 1:1 with file content conversion
into a multimapping.
by changing into multimapping the message was surrounded with
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
   <ns0:Message1>.......
no changing in File Adapter an in the IE there was an error
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException geworfen: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~.
if i added the stuct
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
   <ns0:Message1>.......
by hand and it works???
so i think i had to add
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
   <ns0:Message1>.......
to the file content conversion but i don't know how to do it???

Problem with file conversion from version 9.2.2 to version 10.1.0.71

Hello everyone.
I have a problem. In my database, i have a lot of artwork done with indesign 9.2.2. Since a while now I upgraded indesign and now I have the latest version 10.1.0.71 but I can't open my indesign artwork made with indesign 9.2.2.
When I try, a dialog box appear and says : " La conversion a échoué : les données du fichier ne correspondent pas aux données attendues".
What should I do ?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Ideally all files created in 9.2.2 should open fine in versions greater than itself.
Did you happen to have some 3rd party plugin in 9.2.2 which is missing in 10.1 ? That can be one of the reasons for such errors.
Are the files still opening in version 9.2.2? (assuming you still have 9.2.2)
If there are no 3rd party plugins involved you can share the file with us at [email protected] and we can have a look and figure out the cause of the problem.

Javed

Difficulty with file conversion

Hi all,
I'm a brand new mac user so please forgive my ignorance... I'm having issues with converting mts files for use within FCP.. I've tried Wondershare Video Converter and Smart Converter...both with very bad quality results...
There's no problem with importing the files directly from the camera's built in memory....but when I use the SDHC card, either from within the camera or inserted into the Mac, they show up as files that I need to convert..
I hope this makes sense and that someone will have some ideas
Thanks..

I inherited a zillion .wpd files (family recipes). Is there a fast, efficient, and easy way to do a mass conversion from .wpd format to something I can read on my MacBook Pro?

Need help with file conversion

New to JMS. I want to take data which has been put into XML form, validate it, put it into a Topic (Oracle's AQ is the implementation), have a subscriber grab it and use XSL to map the elements to DB columns and insert all the data into the DB.
This way, I hope to reuse the same inserter, and just use a different mapping for each XML doc.
I am having trouble in the area of converting the files, and/or the Document objects you get from parsers, to and from Strings so that I can put them into, and get them out of, TextMessages.
What is the best way to go about this? Any and all advice would be appreciated.

File conversion and append file in receiver file adapter

Hi
I have a batch IDoc -> XI(3.0) -> file scenario with file conversion to create a flat CSV-like file. The problem is that because of the amount of data sent from R/3 (~20000 employees), the idoc is split into several idocs. In my receiver file adapter I want to append all the idocs contained in this data transfer to one flat file, before transmitting to FTP server.
For the next batch transfer (the next day) XI should start all over and create a new file and append all idocs contained in that transfer before transmitting the flat file to FTP server.
Can this be done using the 'Use Temporary File' and 'Append' options in the FTP connection Parameters in the comm-channel?
It is not an option to append the file in the FTP-server, because the files in the destination folder are moved immediately after arrival, so the file will be moved before file adapter can append all the files.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how to solve this?

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

Dynamic file name in receiver - empty line problem with content conversion

Hi,
I do a variable substitution from a filename node in my xml structure. Because I don't want to have the the filename in my flatfile i supress the output with the conversion parameters:
filename.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
filename.fieldFixedLengths = 0
It's working but: the adapter is puting an empty line at the end of the file. If I even put the filename node at the top of the xml struture it generates the empty line at the top of the flatfile.
Anyone has an idea? is there an other way to set the filename or how can I supress this empty line( I have to) ?
Regrads
J.

Jorg,
Actually speaking we cannot get rid of this with XI. You have to write a OS script to remove this.
Else
you add one more parameter as .endSeparator as backspace ie., 0x08. It will definitely remove the line but I think it is putting a square box at the end of previous line. Please check by giving this and let us know the updates.

Problems with content conversion in File Receiver Adapter

Hello, everybody.
    I have a RFC-to-File scenario with file content conversion. Everything is working well except that my file is generated with 2 blank lines at the top of it.
    The function module has 3 importing parameters (1 optional) and the file content comes from an internal table.
    Is it caused by the function module parameters? If yes, how can I avoid this, once I really need them? If not, does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks a lot,
    Marcos.

Hi, Raj.
Here they are the function module parameters:
Importing parameters:
         ICARRIER     TYPE     CHAR1
         FPATH     TYPE     IPATH
         IFILE     LIKE     VBAK-BNAME
Tables
         IYLASDS_RECPT     LIKE     YLASDS_RECPT
The structure YLASDS_RECPT has only one field with a single line of the file. I am using this field as the <i>Recordset Name</i> inside file adpater parameters.
There is no mapping between RFC and FTP messages.
Thanks a lot,
Marcos.

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

Sender File adapter File Conversion with key fields

Please help me guys, I already spent way too much time on this!
I checked a couple of BLOGs and I think I'm doing the right thing except I'm not getting the result I would expect.
I'm trying to create an IDoc using the from a flat file.
I get the following error:
During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TEST_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
The Source file is this:
H
L0015
The file adapter does create the XML below (looks fine):
<ns:MT_SINGLE xmlns:ns="http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE">
<HEADER>
     <ID>H</ID>
</HEADER>
<LINE>
     <ID>L</ID>
     <SITE>0015</SITE>
</LINE>
</ns:MT_SINGLE>
When I test the map in IR, with the XML that this file adapter created (above) it works fine!
Also if I take away the HEADER from the source structure everything works fine and I can create the IDoc, therefore I think something must be wrong in the file conversion, the mapping is so simple there is nothing to fail there.
The file conversion parameters that I have:
Document Name: MT_SINGLE
Document Namespace: http://PPSC_TO_BO_INVOICE
Document Offset:
Recordset Name:
Recordset Namespace:
Recordset Structure: HEADER,1,LINE,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordset per Message:
Key Field name: ID
Key Field Type: String (Case-Sensitive)
LINE.fieldNames: ID,SITE
LINE.fieldFixedLengths: 1,4
LINE.keyFieldValue: L
HEADER.fieldNames: ID
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths: 1
HEADER.keyFieldValue: H
What am I doing wrong???
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Viktor Varga

Hi Viktor,
Basic rules:
1. Down load XML payload(output From Adapter) and test it in IR mapping program. If it is working there is no reason why it will fail in Runtime. Also Check Cache is up to date.
Generally the problem lies with namespace.
Hope this helps

Satish
