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 Recordset Name inside file adpater parameters.
There is no mapping between RFC and FTP messages.
Thanks a lot,
Marcos.

Content Conversion in File Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I am doing a Content Conversion in File Receiver Adapter.
Input to the Adapter is:
<ns1:FileResponse_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.bpmtest.com/bpm">
 <OrderID>123</OrderID>
 <Quantity>98</Quantity>
 <Price>76.23</Price>
</ns1:FileResponse_MT>
Desired output is: OrderID# Quantity# Price (123#98#76.23)
I tried to accomplish this with different settings in Recordset Structure and Conversion Parameters but could not achieve it, every time an empty file is produced.
Would appreciate any help on this.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Enclose your structure with a parent element like this.
<ns1:FileResponse_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.bpmtest.com/bpm">
<parent>
<OrderID>123</OrderID>
<Quantity>98</Quantity>
<Price>76.23</Price>
</parent>
</ns1:FileResponse_MT>
Then give the parameters, it will work.
parent.fieldSeparator = '#'
parent.endSeparator = 'nl'

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
Venkat

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

Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

Hello,
I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
In channel config, i have given :
Construction Mode : Append
File Type : Text
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
I got this error,
"Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database
while the file was being written.
Note - XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and
successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel
was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written
before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file
should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
channel was configured to append.
Can anyone help me on this regard.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Venkat,
I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
Plz do refer the following links:
U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

FCC: Problems with content conversion

Dear all,
I have a receiver FTP adapter with content conversion. In RWB I'm facing following error message:
Adapter Framework caught exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters! (Value 'FCOTUPI')', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
The field with value FCOTUPI could be found in POS recordset. I double check the length of columns but couldn't find
an error.
CC configuration:
Recordset structure: HEADER,POS,SUBPOS
HEADER.fieldFixedLengths = 8,4,8
POS.fieldFixedLengths = 8,20,15,3
SUBPOS.fieldFixedLengths = 5,5
HEADER.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
POS.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
SUBPOS.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut
As you can see by the names, I am using as XML to convert a structure with subnodes. In documentation it said
that it is not allowed, but in some threads I found the information that structure could be processed.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks
Chris

Dear Amit,
thanks for your answer. I already checked this blog, but hoped for other solutions.
My problem: I tried to map my hierarchical structure to a flat structure.
Source
Struc1 (0..unbounded)
-Item1.1
-Struc2 (0..unbounded)
--Item 2.1
--Struc3 (0..unbounded)
---Item3.1
Target:
Struc1 (0..unbounded)
-Item1.1
Struc2 (0..unbounded)
-Item 2.1
Struc3 (0..unbounded)
-Item3.1
But if e.g. the Struc2 appears two time it will be created two time in target structure before
the Struc3 is created. But ths Struc3 belongs to Struc2 and should be created in flat file under
Struc2 directly.
How can we created a flat structure like this
Struc1
Struc2
Struc3
Struc3
Struc2
Struc3
Thanks
Chris

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.

Creating a file with content conversion

Hi all,
I have a scenario in XI which i create a file in it,
I want to create the file with the content conversion option but with no field separator.
I have an error message - "File adapter receiver channel is not initialized. Unable to proceed: null" if i don't use the fieldSeperator option.
I don't want to use this option, I want the file to be created without separators.
Thanks,

File Receiver Adapter - Content Conversion

Dear All,
We are using DB to file Scenario.We are using File Content conversion to get a File Comma Separated.
Data is picked up from the DB and our payload before getting in to File adapter is given below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <ns6:AssoInfo_MT xmlns:ns6="urn:NDB2File2DB">
 <AssoInfoList>
 <AssoInfoNode>
 <Name>ABCX</Name>
 <ID>31154</ID>
 <Salary>10000.0</Salary>
 </AssoInfoNode>
 <AssoInfoNode>
 <Name>ASDAS</Name>
 <ID>18978</ID>
 <Salary>10000.0</Salary>
 </AssoInfoNode>
 </AssoInfoList>
</ns6:AssoInfo_MT>
In File content conversion we are giving
 AssoInfoNode.addHeaderLine = 0
 AssoInfoNode.fieldSeparator = ,
 AssoInfoNode.endSeparator = 'nl'
We are getting output as
ABCX,ASDAS
But the expected output is
ABCX,31154,10000.0
ASDAS,18978,10000.0
What change we need to do in our File Receiver Adapter configuration.
Regards,
Vedavyas

Hello,
Test without these 2 options :
 AssoInfoNode.addHeaderLine = 0
 AssoInfoNode.endSeparator = 'nl'
I think your problem is with the "endSeparator", it is not necessary.
A new line is created for each new AssoInfoNode automaticaly.

Chris

Content Conversion Parameter in File Receiver Adapter

Hi all,
I have created one File Receiver Adapter with Message Protocol 'File Content Conversion' and with the following configuration:
Recordset Structure: Message
Message.fieldFixedLengths: 1000
My Message Type is:
LogErro_MT
Message (Type: String) (Occurrence: 0..Unbounded) (Details: Min,Max Length: 1000)
But the file created by it has no data inside it. If I change the Message Protocol to 'File', the content of the file is the XML generated by the Outbound Proxy.
Would someone can help me?
Thanks in advance
Leo

Hi,
Please create a data type with
Records
Message ---0..unbounded
and hten MT for the same.
In the receiver file adapter:
Recordset Structure: Message
Message.fieldFixedLengths: 1000
Please check this weblog for the same:
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/04/03/xi-in-the-role-of-a-ftp
IS this what you are trying to do.

File Adapter with Content Conversion

Hi -
I am trying to convert a Flat file which has data as
firstnamelastnamecompanyName
Now i have created a message type which has a root name as Contact and its children are FirstName,LastName,Company.
And in the configurator i have created a file adapter with the content conversion, but being very new to XI i have never used a file adapter with content conversion. This is what i have in my Content Conversion Parameters.Please correct my code.
Document Name :: MT_Contact
Document Namespace :: http://venkat
Document Offset :: i did not enter anything here
Recordset Name :: RootNode(i gave this name just like that,,, Should it be something from the IR??
Recordset NameSpace:: i did not enter anything here
Recordset Structure:: Contact (this is the name in my IR
Recordset Sequence :: Ascending
Recordsets per Message :: Contact,* (Can someone explain what should be given here)
Then in the bottom in the name value pairs i have given
Contact.fieldNames = FirstName,LastName,Company
Contact.fieldSeparator = #
When i am using the above configuration the error i am getting in RWB is Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:
Format error in 'xml.recordset' argument: incomplete structure (name,number) pairInvalid 'xml.recordsetsPerMessage' value 'Contact,*' found
I am very new to XI and i am unable to understand what exactly each field means in the file adapter when the content coversion is used. Can someone take the pain of explaining them.
Thank you
Venkat

Hi,
Use the following to create an XML strucutre like this,
<MT_CONTACT>
<CONTACT>
<FirstName> </FirstName>
<LastName> </LastName>
<CompanyName> </CompanyName>
</CONTACT>
<MT_CONTACT>
DocumentName : MT_TEST
DocumentNamespace : Yournamespace
RecordserName : record
RecordsetStructure : CONTACT,1
In the table,
ignoreRecordsetName : true
CONTACT.fieldNames : FirstName,LastName,CompanyName
CONTACT.fieldSeparator : #

File sender with content conversion and ignoreRecordsetName

Him,
I have an scenario with a compressed file sender with content conversion.
In my sender cc i have:
1     AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean     Local Enterprise Bean     unzip
2     AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Local Enterprise Bean     transform
3     CallSapAdapter     Local Enterprise Bean     2
In module configuration, I have also added:
xml.ignoreRecordsetName --> true
But RecordsetName is not removed from XML
Why?
thanks, in advance
Carme

Hi,
No need to enter anything in module configuration. Just specify following Name-Value pair in the table provided on the Content Conversion tab of your file adapter.
Add a row with Name = ignoreRecordsetName and Value = true (Both case-sensitive)
For details, see [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm].
