Receiver File Content Conversion - Multiple Hier. Levels, Several Files

Question

you can create several files using single message execution.
one source message structure and target multiple messgae types(0..1) occurance
and same thing you can implement in your Interface mapping.
1 -> Multiple Inbound interfaces
your target final strcture would be with Header,lineitems.
your JDBC->XI Intermedicate.
     XI Intermediate ->XI final (this final structure will create the your file)
that way you can design your scenario.

Answer 1

Hello Venu, thanks for answering,
When you talk about intermediate structure you are referring to the approach I mentioned in the link above or to something that can be done using the same scenario structure I have right now?
I am going I little bit deeper in my scenario just in case I havent been so clear in my first explanation:
Lets suppose I have 3 stores: 1001,1002,1003
For each store there are 2 items: 999,888
So XI retrieves the information from the DB thru a stored procedure. This is the output:
STORE--PLU
1001--999
1001--888
1002--999
1002--888
1003--999
1003--888
Please note the information is coming in a flat structure. In the beginning I tried to separate it into several outputs (selects) as shown below but I relaized that was not possible to be handled by XI:
STORE--PLU
query 1
1001--999
1001--888
query2
1002--999
1002--888
query
1003--999
1003--888
That would have been the best approach as I would have generated one single file for each message and thats it, but unfortunately, Xi does not work that way with MSSQL Queries. So I had to made something up based on the answers I got from the SDN experts (Link is below in first message). There was when I used context handling for generating the structures myself within one single message.
In the scenario shown above I would have just needed to generate the following structure for creating messages from the source:
Level1: Main Node
Level 2: Header
Level 2: Body
But now, As I am forced to generate my 3 structures within 1 single message, I had to insert one more node to wrap header and body in per iteration (as a file would do):
Level1: Main Node
Level2: File
Level3: Header
Level3: Body
And that is the problem I am asking help for, that allegedly, XI File Content conversion can just handle up to 2 levels.
Thanks again for answering Venu.
Regards.
