Problem with file contents in blank

Hi,
I have the next code :
javax.jms.TextMessage textMessage = (javax.jms.TextMessage) response;
try
java.io.FileWriter filewriter = new java.io.FileWriter("testfile.out");
filewriter.write(textMessage.getText());
catch(java.io.IOException jeio)
System.out.println( "[Reply] " + textMessage.getText() );
I receive the response from JMS in the variable textMessage, and I try output the Reply in a file, but the file contents it's blank.
How I do, to see the Reply in the file contents ????
Thank's.
Hervey P.

Try closing the FileWriter after you've written to it.
filewriter.close();
Hope this helps
Regards
Omer

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

Could anyone let me know as to how should i specify the recordset structure parameters if i need a comma between the fields in each of the structures.Also if u could let me know the other important parameters it could be of great help.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Sharat,
Your File format is like
Source Message Type
| - FEBRITRH
| - | - field1..
| - | - field2.. etc

| - | - field1..
| - | - field2.. etc
| - FEBRIT64
| - | - field1..
| - | - field2.. etc
| - FEBRITEF
| - | - field1..
| - | - field2.. etc
Create a Target Message Type like
Target Message Type

| - | - FEBRITRH
| - | - | - field1..
| - | - | - field2.. etc
| - | - FEBRIT61
| - | - | - field1..

Do all your mappings and
Define a Receiver File Adapter with Following Configuration

Content Conversion Parameter
Recordset Structure Recordset, FEBRITRH, FEBRIT61, FEBRIT64, FEBRITEF
Name value pair would be
Recordset.endSeparator nl

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

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.

 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">

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.

Problems with file content conversion

Hi,
in my scenario (Z-IDOC - XI - File) I send 2 segments to the XI.
L061 18000 DE 0101 23236318 050605 EUR
L061 87000 DE 0101 050605 EUR
In the second segment there is no XBLNR !!
IDOC: ZFIBUCH
Segment: L061
Fields:
IDENTIF
KZ
LAND
BUKRS
XBLNR
BLDAT
WAERS
Data typ: L061
Message type: MT_ZFIBUCH_FILE
My XML-message looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:MT_ZFIBUCH_FILE xmlns:ns1="http://xxx">
<L061>
 <IDENTIF>L061</IDENTIF>
 <KZ>18000</KZ>
 <LAND>DE</LAND>
 <BUKRS>0101</BUKRS>
 <XBLNR>AG1236318</XBLNR>
 <BLDAT>050605</BLDAT>
 <WAERS>EUR</WAERS>
</L061>
<L061>
 <IDENTIF>L061</IDENTIF>
 <KZ>87000</KZ>
 <LAND>DE</LAND>
 <BUKRS>0101</BUKRS>
 <BLDAT>050605</BLDAT>
 <WAERS>EUR</WAERS>
</L061>
</ns1:MT_ZFIBUCH_FILE>
I use content conversion in the receiver-file-adapter
RECORDSET: L061
L061.fieldFixedLengths 4,6,3,4,10,3
L061.headerLine 0
L061.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Ignore
L061.endSeparator 'nl'
The result is:
L06118000 DE 0101AG1236318 050605EUR
L06187000 DE 0101050605EUR
But I will use fixed lengths for getting this:
L06118000 DE 0101AG1236318 050605EUR
L06187000 DE 0101 __________050605EUR
(instead of the underline there should be blanks)
Did I something wrong?
Christoph

Even if the field XBLNR is empty, you have to provide the element in the structure, otherwise the content conversions gets out of order.
Correct would be:
<ns1:MT_ZFIBUCH_FILE xmlns:ns1="http://xxx">
<L061>
<IDENTIF>L061</IDENTIF>
<KZ>18000</KZ>
<LAND>DE</LAND>
<BUKRS>0101</BUKRS>
<XBLNR>AG1236318</XBLNR>
<BLDAT>050605</BLDAT>
<WAERS>EUR</WAERS>
</L061>
<L061>
<IDENTIF>L061</IDENTIF>
<KZ>87000</KZ>
<LAND>DE</LAND>
<BUKRS>0101</BUKRS>
<XBLNR />
<BLDAT>050605</BLDAT>
<WAERS>EUR</WAERS>
</L061>
</ns1:MT_ZFIBUCH_FILE>

Hi,
i have redefined my problem.
The problem is that I have a main Structure 'Subscriber', inside which a substructure called 'Loan'.
The problem is whatever endseparator i give for that substructure Loan, is apllied to main structure 'Subscriber'(Loan's End Separator).
i dont understand why the endseparator of substructure overrides that of the Main structure.

I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific

When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.

What are you doing within the txt document? Is it general text and string based items, or have you something more elaborate going on?
An older discussion here elaborates a bit more on the dotx vs docx side of things.

Cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents"

Hi Everyone,
I cannot open Word File because "there are problems with the contents" unspecified error; Location: 2. Please help as I need this doc for work meeting this morning. Nothing special about this doc but links were copied into it??? However I do that all the time. I have never had this happen before. I am on a 2010 machine. I just ran a disk permissions repaired and emptied the trash but still no dice. I had several other word docs up as well when I got up this morning but they are all fine. I do not have Time Capsule turned on (which I need to do but that will be another thread/question).
Thank you,
sb

Ok, I found a way to open this but not sure what happened to begin with and the formatting setup is different now, almost like text editor? Not sure what happened here but hope it doesn't happen again?

Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

Morning Friends,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013
I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
"We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
Details - No error detail available.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very high level view of what I have done:
1 - Created content type called "Letters"
2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
3 - Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter"
12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe"
19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"This behavior is by design. The Create
List Item action in the SharePoint
2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.
