Skip field in file content conversion (file adapter)

hy guys,
I have a log file and want to convert it into xml. that works fine.
the problem is: can I skip some fields that I do not need in the xml with file content conversion
the fields I want to skip are the same in every record of the log file.
thanks.

Ralf,
You can only ignore lines in the begiining of the file using Document Offset option.
If you have the unwanted field in the end of the record and you are in SPS12 (PI 7.0), you can use the option additionalLasstFields in FCC parameters. have a look into the blog /people/sukumar.natarajan/blog/2007/06/12/content-conversion-in-sender-file-adapter--2-new-useful-parameters
Easier, is to ignore those fields in mapping.
Also, you can try to remove those fields using a shell script which can be called from the File adapter.

Jai Shankar

in RWB, Channel CC_FILE_Sender_FccDemo: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
I think the problem is in FCC paramters..
Could please have a look and correct me
Regards

Ram,
The problem which i can see is your key field values in your test file. Remember you should have the key field value in each new line at the same place.
For example you have given your text file as shown below...
File Given By You is :
>H1hh1hhhhhhhhh2
>*Ddd *
>Xddd1dddd2dddd3
>Xddd4dddd5dddd6
>Xddd7dddd8dddd9
>*Sss *
>SEKss2
Compair the above file with the below one..
>H1hh1hhhhhhhhh2
>*Ddd *
>Xddd1dddd2dddd3
>Xddd4dddd5dddd3
>Xddd7dddd8dddd3
> *Sss *
>SEKss2
If you notice, for details I have given key field value 3 in each line & at same place.
One more thing just use the KeyFieldName only one ( just follow the same blog which I have given, to understand how to use the KeyFieldName )
e.g.
Document Name :MT_File
Document Namespace :urn:test:FileFcctoIdoc
RecordSet name :
RecordsetStructure :HEADER1,1,HEADER2,1,DETAILS,*,TRAILER1,1,TRAILER2,1
RecordSet Structure: Ascending
RecordSet Per message : *
Key Field Name : KF

File Content Conversion - Receiver Adapter

Hi To All
I have an XML Structure
<LIST>
     <Seg1>
          <Element1>123</Element1>
     </Seg1>
     <Seg2>
          <Element1>ABC</Element1>
          <Element2>DEF</Element2>
          <Element3>GHF</Element3>
        </Seg2>
<LIST>
I'm using File content conversion in receiver Adapter
I want my output like this.
ABCDEFGHF
I don't need the Segment Seg1.
In my parameters RecordsetStructure only I have Seg2 and the details for this Segment
but When I receive a file, the adapter convert with segment 1.
123
ABCDEFGHF
can you help me?.

easiest alternative is mentioned here already, drop it in the mapping.
You can also try to write a java pgm and invoke it as an OS command. that cuts the segment1 out before passing it to content conversion. ..more painful..but will work.

File content conversion - sender adapter for Header and detail records

Hi Experts,
I am receiving a field of fixed length content format.(Header)The first line of the file will follow the structure X having some fields and (DetailRecord)subsequent lines in the file will follow structure Y having somes fields.There is no record identifier for Header and Detail records.In one file first line is Header records and remaining subsequent line is DetailRecord.What are the parameters we have to set for sender file content conversion parameters as i donot have any key field and key field value.And in one file we have only one header records ( first line) and n number of detail records from 2nd line onwards.
Thanks

Problem in file content conversion, file 2 xml scenario

Hi,
Could some one help me in finding out the error in my file to xml scenario, please do consider the following things what I did for this scenario.
1.My sender file structure is flat file with , seperated 4 fields. On receiver end expecting xml file.
2.Did file content conversion at sender file adapter and given parameters as follows.
     Document name             : MT_FileInput
     DocumentnameSpace     : http://file/praveenworkshop
     Recordset Name             : DT_Record
     Recordset Structure        : DT_Row,*
     KeyfieldType                   : String( default)
    DT_Row.fieldnames          : FirstName,LastName,City,PostCode
    DT_Row.fieldSeparator      : ,
    DT_Row.processConfiguration: FromConfiguration
    Dt_Row.endSeparator       : 'nl'
3. I did check in Adapter Monitor that Both Sender and receiver adapter are showing green and It was showing 'Adapter is up and running: But no messages processed'
4. I did check the SXMB_MONI which was showing " Scheduled for Outbound processing"
5. In SXMB_MONI outbound processing payload was picking up the file and also inbound processing showing the same.
6. my source folder and destination folder are very simple c:/praveenfiles/input and c:/praveenfiles/output
    files are source file praveen.txt and destination file praveenOP.xml
Please help me in finding out the error to see the output file in my output folder.

File Content Conversion : File to File Scenario

hi all,
I have a Input file
It has the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<n0:rfc_proxy_message_type xmlns:n0="http://kpr.com/sample">
<Name>abhishek</Name>
<Age>10</Age>
</n0:rfc_proxy_message_type>
I use a File to File Scenario, with Sender and receiver FTP adapters.
I would like to convert this file at the recieveing end into a flat file as follows:
Name     Age
abhishek 10
How can I do so?
Can anyone please help.
Thanks,
Best Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
Your Xml file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Employee_MT xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/demo">
   <Recordset>
      <item>
         <Name>vinod</Name>
         <Id>12</Id>
         <Age>30</Age>
         <***>male</***>
      </item>
   </Recordset>
</ns0:Employee_MT>
In the content conversion parameters mention the following
Document name:    Student_MT
Document Namespace:   enter your namespace
RecordsetName:    Recordset
Recoedset Structure:   item,*
item.endSeparator = 'nl'
item.fieldSeparator= ,
item.fieldnames= Name,Id,Age,***
Hope this helps you.

File Content Conversion File-File scenario

Dear experts,
I have been tweaking with file to file scenario where a simple file goes in source as text delimited and comes out in target as xml.
I know ,i finally get my scenario get working with these settings :
ROOT.fieldSeparator ,
ROOT.fieldNames Store_Id,TRDT,SKU,SALE_RETURN,PRICE_OVERRIDE,PROMOTION_NUMBER,PROMO_DETAIL_ID,MIX_MATCH_NUMBER,DISCOUNT_ID,QUANTITY,EXTENDED_SELLING_PRICE,EXTENDED_ORIGINAL_PRICE,DIFFERENCE_PRICE
ROOT.fieldContentFormatting trim
ROOT.endSeparator 'nl'
ROOT.missingLastfields add
ROOT.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
ignoreRecordsetName true
Now my question is where i can find all properties that are probable in ROOT.Other thing is i kept on getting mapping related errors until i reached
at this stage of properties definition.But there was no tracking as of why i got that error.The error was :
Mapping "http://TPOCTEST_SFILE/OM_TPOCTEST" failed to execute: MappingException: Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_TPOCTEST_; Details: com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.IllegalInstanceException; Cannot create target element /ns0:MT_TPOCTEST_T/Record. Values missing in queue context. Target XSD requires a value for this element, but the target-field mapping does not create one. Check whether the XML instance is valid for the source XSD, and whether the target-field mapping fulfils the requirement of the target XSD
I resolved once i made settings on top but this was only a hit and trial.I dont know what actually was the reason behind this error.
I also used Test option of mapping and found things working.

Hi Aditya,
That error indicates that when you were facing problems with your FCC the system did not generate XML that worked with the mapping that you have OM_TPOCTEST. The error is showing that you have a target node named Record which I'm guessing is set to 1...unbounded but your FCC did not generate XML that would map in such a manner that 1 or more nodes named Record would be created in your target message.

Doubt regarding file content conversion Recever File adapter.

target structure.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MT_ChangeOfAddress xmlns:ns1="urn:passhe.com/ChangeOfAddressISA28">
     <BUSINESS_PARTNER>
          <item>

          </item>
     </BUSINESS_PARTNER>
</ns1:MT_ChangeOfAddress>
target structure is look like this.
MT_ChangeOfAddress
     BUSINESS_PARTNER (1,1)
          item       (0 to unbounded)
              CAMPUSCODE (0,1)
              STUDENTNUMBER (0,1)
                    ST_OBJID      (0,1)
I have given below parameters in recever file adapter (file content conversion)
Recordset Structure : item
item.fieldNames : CAMPUSCODE,STUDENTNUMBER,ST_OBJID
item.fieldSeparator: , (comma)
i am getting first two digits in my output file: that file has only first two digits that is : 65
may i know how hould i define file contente conversion recever adapter to get proper data in file adapter.

Can't get File content conversion to produce CSV file

Hi Guys
Have no problem at all getting XML file created via an RFC
Structure is something like this
From MONI message monitor inbound message    payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>Middelkampseweg 1</STREET>
etc
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Receiver Grouping payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
<CUSTOMERID>100853</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>VAN TUYL</SHORT_NAME>
etc.
With no conversion xml file is created on output directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test"><customerid>100853</customerid><company>Bram Van Tuyl Coldstore</company>
etc
Now trying to use File content conversion with the simplest possible conversion -- just insert a colon after all the fields in the structure.
Following parameters
Adapter type FILE
receiver box checked
Message protocol File Content conversion
File access etc as before
Content conversion parameters
Recordset : IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER
(have also tried Z_XI 005_RFC)
Name
CUSTOMERID.fieldSeparator :        (colon)
MONI shows message received by XI and processed correctly but NO outfile gets written to the target directory.
what am I doing wrong --it's probably something stupid.
The data into XI is a ONE RECORD structure -- not a table etc.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi guys -- both solutions STILL not working
all I'm now getting is just a file with garbage in it
Payload is fine on XI system
Here's the payload
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
- <item>
<CUSTOMERID>65013</CUSTOMERID>
<COMPANY>OY PANDA AB</COMPANY>
<SHORT_NAME>PANDA</SHORT_NAME>
<STREET>P.O.Box 3</STREET>
<STREET2 />
<STREET3 />
<STREET4 />
<POSTCODE>3331 GT</POSTCODE>
   etc etc until end of customer mmaster details
</item>
</IP_CUSTOMER_HEADER>
</rfc:Z_XI_005_RFC>
Without conversion file is generated on target directory
Here's the XML output file sent to the directory
(for testing I only usec the ist 3 fields)
Not sure why <item>   disappeared - maybe that has something to do with it ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:MT_customer_header xmlns:ns1="http://avenue.com/xi/test">
<CustomerId>65013</CustomerId>
<company>OY PANDA AB</company>
<shortname>PANDA</shortname>
</ns1:MT_customer_header>
RFC call from R3 system is fine (otherwise I wouldn't get the message into XI. Transaction SM58 as well on R3 shows no RFC errors
Converted file is just a blank with nl character at the end ??????
cheers

Problmes with file content conversion

Hi,
I have a working ftp file adapter. When I now try to switch this adapter to file content conversion, the adapter doesn't work. It doesn't even tries to connect to the ftp-server.
Is it possible, that I have forget to fill out some information in the content conversion parameters or is there something wrong with the installation of the XI server?!
We have XI 3.0 SP11
Thank you for your help
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
i saw the links about the data type into which the CSV should be converted and the parameters you have given for the content conversion.
You have entered the following values:
Recordset Name: set
Recordset Structure: row,3
Key Field Name: empty
and the data type that you want looks like:
<DT_INPUT>
              <row>
                      <A></A>
                      <B></B>
                      <C></C>
               </row>
</DT_INPUT>
also u have given the occurrence of recordset row as unbounded.
For this to happen, you need to change some entries in Content Conversion Parameters, these are:
Recordset Name: row
Recordset Structure: row,*
Key Field Name: row
Moreover in your additional parameters you have given:
row.fieldNames -
A;B;C
please use comma ',' as a field separator and not the semicolon ';'
Make these changes and i hope your scenario works fine,
thanks and regards,
Varun Joshi

Receiver File content conversion with nested structure

Hi Guys,
I have the below nested structure and have to convert it using receiver file content conversion.
<Header> [o, unbounded]
   <A>a</A>
   <B>b</B>
</Header>
<record>   [0, unbounded]
   <field1>
        <X1>x</X1>
        <Y1>y</Y1>
   </field1>
   <field2>
         <X2>x</X2>
         <Y2>y</Y2>
   </field2>
</record>
The file is a comma separated one. Please let me know how to configure the content conversion.
Thanks

Hi Mukesh,
Have a look at the Shabz's blog for the receiver File content conversion : File Adapter (Receiver) - Are we "really" sure about the concepts?

File Content conversion - IDOC to Fixed length File

Hi,
Scenario : SAP R/3(IDOC) -> XI -> Fixed Length file
IDOC is sending from SAP R/3, XI has to do the mapping and send a Fixed length File to /tmp in XI.
When I am using the message Protocol as "File" in the Receiver communication channel, XML file is writing to /tmp. When I am using "File Content Conversion" as a message protocol,Empty File is writing. Can anybody tell me why empty file is creating. Can we use File content Conversion in this scenario. Is there any additional parameter or settings required?
Receiver communication channel settings:
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
File type       : Binary
Recordstructure : MT_V_PER01
Name                             Value
MT_V_PER01.fieldFixedLengths     25,35
MT_V_PER01.fieldNames            PERSNR,NAME
File Data Type : DT_V_PER01,
Message type   : MT_V_PER01
IDOC type      : WP_PER01.
Expecting your expert advice.
Thanks
