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

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

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

 I am trying to convert a text file to an XML using File Content Conversion in XI 3.0.
 The incoming text file gets picked up but no message is sent and hence no message is received in the monitor.I get the following log-
Success Channel FILE_SENDER_XML_1: Entire file content converted to XML format
Warning Channel FILE_SENDER_XML_1: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
Success File "C:\xi_public\i033066\dme_in.txt" deleted after processing
Can somebody help me on this
Thanks
Sandeep

Hello,
 I am not sure of why the empty Payload is created.
I have the following TXT file -
LINE 1 01 22 Sandeep ASKDJKLASD HDFC Bank 12342 asdasd 123569
LINE 2 02 22 Sagar 23123 ICICI 4234 ASDASD 254636 12304 ASDAsdqwe
LIME 3 03 22 1 12304
Ignore 'Lines' above.They are not part of the file.
I have given the following parameters -
Document Name - SampleMessageType
Document Namespace - http://sandeep/xi/bpm_example
Recordset Name - Header,Item,Trailer
Recordset Namespace - http://sandeep/xi/bpm_example
Record Structure - Header,,Item,,Trailer,*
Recordset Sequence - Ascending
Key Field Name - Record Type
Key Field Type - String(Case Sensitive)
Header.fieldFixedLengths 3,4,15,20,15,15,20,10
Header.fieldNames RecordType,RecordLength,CompanyName,CompanyAddress,BankName,BankCode,BankAddress,AccountNumber
Header.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
Header.keyFieldValue 01
Header.lastFieldsOptional YES
Item.fieldFixedLengths 3,4,15,20,15,15,15,10,6,10
Item.fieldNames RecordType,RecordLength,BeneficiaryName,BeneficiaryAddress,BankName,BankCode,BankAddress,AccountNumber,Amount,NoteToPayee

Trailer.fieldFixedLengths 3,4,6,6
Trailer.fieldNames RecordType,RecordLength,TotalRecords,TotalAmount
Trailer.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
Trailer.keyFieldValue 03
Trailer.lastFieldsOptional YES
If I don't give these parameters then channel will give me errors.I don't know what other parameter to give to create a file.
I had tried the same thing with the following and it worked
Document Name - SampleMessageType
Document Namespace - http://sandeep/xi/bpm_example
Record Structure - Substr,*
Recordset Sequence - Ascending
Key Field Name - Record Type
Key Field Type - String(Case Sensitive)
Substr.fieldFixedLengths 3,4,15,20,15,15,20,10,3,4,15,20,15,15,15,10,6,10,3,4,6,6
Substr.fieldNames RecordType,RecordLength,CompanyName,CompanyAddress,BankName,BankCode,BankAddress,AccountNumber,RecordType,RecordLength,BeneficiaryName,BeneficiaryAddress,BankName,BankCode,BankAddress,AccountNumber,Amount,NoteToPayee,RecordType,RecordLength,TotalRecords,TotalAmount
Substr.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
Substr.keyFieldValue 01
Substr.lastFieldsOptional YES
But the problem here is my mapping has the Header,Item and Trailer as the structure names but he XML created here will be like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:SampleMessageType xmlns:ns="http://sandeep/xi/bpm_example">
- <Recordset>

<BankName>HDFC Bank</BankName>
<BankCode>12342</BankCode>
<BankAddress>asdasd</BankAddress>
<AccountNumber>123569</AccountNumber>
</Substr>
- <Substr>
<RecordType>02</RecordType>
<RecordLength>22</RecordLength>
<CompanyName>Sagar</CompanyName>
<CompanyAddress>23123</CompanyAddress>
<BankName>ICICI</BankName>
<BankCode>4234</BankCode>
<BankAddress>ASDASD 25463</BankAddress>
<AccountNumber>6 12304</AccountNumber>
<RecordType>AS</RecordType>
<RecordLength>DAsd</RecordLength>
</Substr>
- <Substr>
<RecordType>03</RecordType>
<RecordLength>22 1</RecordLength>
</Substr>
</Recordset>
</ns:SampleMessageType>
In this case my mapping fails

Problem using file content conversion

I want to generate a input message with no recordset and root element
It just contains one element like below:
<line>AI0 AXXX-001 20089830 120</line>
<line>AI0 AXXX-002 20089830 120</line>
What properties I need to setup in file content conversion to get this format message?
The data inside <line> comes from a txt flat file.
Please help
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
Root element can be ignore by using FCC property Recordset Name i.e ignoreRecordsetName: true
If you set the parameter to true, the <Recordset> element is not inserted.
Recordset Name defines the root node under which rest of the XML will be created. If not required ignore.
As Recordset Structure is a mandatory parameters, So I'm not sure how you ignore it.
Abid!

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.

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 Adapter - File Content Conversion to XML last element missing

I'm using the SAP File Adapter with File Content Conversion to convert | (pipe) delimited records into XML.
When the last field is blank, I would expect that an empty node gets created, however, the node doesn't get created at all.
For example given these settings...
Record.fieldSeparator = |
Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Record.fieldNames = FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3
Using this three record file as my data...
|123|XYZ
ABC||XYZ
ABC|123|
When converted to XML, this is what the recordset XML structure looks like...
<Recordset>
<Record>
<FIELD1 />
<FIELD2>123</FIELD2>
<FIELD3>XYZ</FIELD3>
</Record>
<Record>
<FIELD1>ABC</FIELD1>
<FIELD2 />
<FIELD3>XYZ</FIELD3>
</Record>
<Record>
<FIELD1>ABC</FIELD1>
<FIELD2>123</FIELD2>
</Record>
</Recordset>
Notice that the last record is missing the "FIELD3" element.

That did the trick. It was a typo. Thanks Giuseppe.
I'm willing to bet that this parameter was added to fix the parsing bug without breaking existing users that had already worked around the original bug. You shouldn't really have to special case the last field.

Hi,
Like correctly pointed by JaiShankar, the Sender File Adapter currently does not supoort such stracutures.
the strcuture supported is described in this link,

Encoding problem after File Content Conversion

Hi SAP gurus!
we're about exporting debitor data via PI into CSV files. Therefore we use a mapping to an intermediate structure. In the receiver file adapter a file content conversion is done into the target CSV format.
We have a lot of data with eastern europe characters. Right after the mapping, everything is fine. All characters are processed correctly. After the file content conversion, the files written on the target system contain "?" instead of the special characters.
Does anybody have any hint to fix this problem? We already tried to change the "file.encoding" parameter, but hasn't helped.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Cheers,
Matthias

Hello Satish,
thanks for your reply.
First, I have to explain, that the sender side isn't done by file adapter but IDoc adapter. So I cannot change the encoding on sender side.
Both on IDoc and file side, the data is ok. Only when inserting the file content converion, the files become corrupted.
Without using the FCC, tjhe target files are stored as UTF-8. When using FCC the files are stored as ANSI. (I tested this by opening the files in notepad and performing "Save As")
Do you have further ideas?
Cheers,
Matthias

Problem with file content conversion for multiple substrcture. Please help!

Hi Experts,
 I am using file content conversion in file sender communication channel. The input file is a flat file with data like this:
 A01 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900
 A02 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900
 A03 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900
 I want the data in sender side after content conversion to be like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">
 <ScheduleData>
 <line>A01 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
 <line>A02 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
 <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
 </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
I have tried many options in file content conversion but getting the data like this:
<ns:Receive_Schedules xmlns:ns="http://mynamespace">

 </ScheduleData>
 <ScheduleData>
 <line>A03 AA8I0NBVDA 20090704 84900</line>
 </ScheduleData>
</ns:Receive_Schedules>
Following are the settings/properties have configured in content conversion:
Document Name Receive_Schedules
Document namespace http://mynamespace
Document Offset <no value>
Recordset Name <no value>
Recordset namespace <no value>
Recordset structure ScheduleData,*
Recordset sequence Ascending
Recordsets per message 1
Key field Name <no value>
Key Field Type String

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

for converting to csv i am using java program.
please go through it.

<xsl:value-of select="','"/>That's not the correct way to output a literal comma. Just write the comma directly, or use xsl:text. And don't put in those line breaks either. You can reduce the rule for FILE to something like this:
xsl:template match="FILE">
<xsl:value-of select="DOCUMENT/BUSINESS"/>, <xsl:value-of select="DOCUMENT/PROGRAM"/>, <xsl:value-of select="DOCUMENT/PROJECT"/>, <xsl:value-of select="DOCUMENT/NAME"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
