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.

File content conversion:move files to a new directory

hi all,
I have a file content conversion sender and receiver scenario.Now my doubt is: XI is running on sap27 server.Input file is being created by an ABAP program in r/3 and file being put in sap29 server.
In source directory if i am giving the sap29 path it is not working.Is there any way that i can write a OS command to move files from 29 to 27 before message processing ??
Any other option available??
thanks,
Nisheeta

hi,
Yes the basis people have shared the folder and they have mapped the sap29 folder into sap27 using I:\ drive
But the files are not getting picked....am i giving the source directory wrong??
I am giving I:\Folder_Name
suggestions needed
thanks,

Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter

Hi All
I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
I have a file coming in the following format.
AA,111,222,333
BB,444,555,666
CC,777,888,999
My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
AA,111,222,333
<<BB,444,555,666>>
<<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
Please let me know
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Udo
According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
This is my source structure:
AA,11,22,33
BB,44,55,66
CC,77,88,99
This is my required targer structure:
AA,11,22,33
<<BB,44,55,66>>
<<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
I am using removecontext node function.
CC (Source) (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
Many Thanks
Chandra

File Content Conversion on the Receiving side

Is there a way in which if I want a Pipe Delimited File as a result, after the last field also I get a pipe with next record starting in the next line.

Hi,
For | (Pipe), use corresponding hex code as fieldSeparator i.e. 0x7C as fieldSeparator.
For FCC on receiver side refer -
[Simple FCC|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/19/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-simple-structure/], [Complex FCC|http://www.riyaz.net/blog/index.php/2008/02/20/xipi-file-content-conversion-for-complex-structures/]
For separotor at the end of line you can try using a dummy field or use combination of pipe and newline i.e. '0x7C' and '0x0D' (stands for carriage return) or 'nl' as endSeparator
Edit: You might consider using 'nl' as beginSeparator parameter and 0x7C as endSeparator. This will do the trick. However, this would add a blank line in the beginning of the file.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Riyaz

** File Content Conversion Error in Receiver CC - How to solve this?

Hi friends,
My target structure looks like below.
EmployeeJobDetails --> Message Type
 JobCode --> Node
 EmployeeNumber xsd:string
 Domain xsd:string
 JobTrack --> Node
 Department xsd: string
 Position xsd: string
I use the FCC parameters in the receiver CC as below:
Recordset Structure: JobCode,JobTrack
JobCode.fieldSeparator = |
JobCode.endSeparator = 'nl'
JobTrack.fieldSeparator = |
JobTrack.endSepartor = 'nl'.
Because, we want the output like below
1099|Raja
Accts|JuniorAccountant
1100|Ram
HR|Recruiter
like this.
In this scenario Source is XML and target is txt file.
I am using XSLT Mapping. The FCC works fine, if my source input file contains some records. But, when we send empty source XML file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EMPLOYEE_DATA/>
Mapping works fine. Message is processed successfully in SXMB_MONI. The payload in response also comes with Message Type name like below
<EmployeeJobDetails namespace >
</EmployeeJobDetails>
While convert this, the system throws below error.
Error Message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)': java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
Friend, how to convert this when source XML is empty.
But, if we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the same empty XML file FCC is working fine and we get the target text file 0 KB. (Amazing !!)
But, in the first case, how to solve the issue?
Kind Regards,
Jegathees P.

Hi friends,
If we remove JobTrack node in target strucutre and remove the JobTrack parameters in CC, then if we send the same empty XML file FCC is working fine and we get the target text file 0 KB. (Amazing !!)
But, if we give parameters like JobCode,JobTrack then send pass the same empty file, we face the problem 'File Content Conversion' Error.

File content conversion in File-to-RFC without BPM

Hi,
I am using FCC for file to RFc scenario.
My input record is in the following format:
Header record
data rec1
data rec2
Trailer record..
The parameters are used in File content conversion:
Recordset Name : Header,item
Recordset Structure: Header,1,item,*
key field name : data1
and in additional parameters:
Header.fieldNames            HI,GenDate,Ftype,Fname,Fdate
Header.keyFieldValue       Fname
Header.fieldFixedLengths 1,8,1,50,8
Header.endSeparator        nl
item.endSeparator             nl
item.fieldNames                  DATA1,DATA2,DATA3,DATA4
item.keyFieldValue             item
item.fieldFixedLengths       231,240,241,120
item.lastFieldsOptional       YES
Can anyone check whether any parameters are left, b'cos the file is not being read with this settings. and in the C.C its just showing file processing successfully but not able to see the actual file.

Hi,
I assume you have header, item and trailer structure in source file.
Source Data Type will be as follows.
RecordSet
--> Header
      --> KeyField(Value OH)
      --> H1
      --> H2
--> Item
      --> KeyField (Value OL)
      --> I1
      --> I2
-->Trailer
      --> KeyField (Value OT)
      --> T1
      --> T2
Where Item Strucutre can come multiple times.
Please use following settings.
Recordset name: RecordSet
RecordSet Structure: Header,1,Item,*,Trailer,1
Key Field Name: KeyField
Header.fieldNames: KeyField,H1,H2
Header.fieldFixedLengths: 2,3,4
Header.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Header.keyFieldValue: OH
Header.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Item.fieldNames: KeyField,I1,I2
Item.fieldFixedLengths: 2,5,6
Item.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Item.keyFieldValue: OL
Item.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Trailer.fieldNames: KeyField,T1,T2
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths: 2,8,9
Trailer.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Trailer.keyFieldValue: OT
Trailer.LastFieldsOptional: YES

File content conversion for file with hierarchical structure

Hi
I want to read a flat file in the following message structure using file content conversion.
Message structure is :
01 ( occurence = 1)
_ 1B (occurence = unbounded)
_ 1G (occurence = unbounded)
_1H (occurence = 1)
_1N ( occurence = unbounded)
99 (occurence = 1, trailer record)
In short there will be one 01 ( header record) in file. There will multiple 1B records. Under one 1B record there will multiple 1G records. Under each 1G record there will be one 1H recoprd and multiple 1N record. At the end there will one 99 record.
File format : Fixed length
Data in the text file would be as follows :
01Test
1BF0001MS005 4855390859
1GF000172075F31501 GBPINV 040806

Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks
Varun

you cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

File Content Conversion CSV File

Hello All,
I have a CSV file in the below format.
a,b,c
And my content conversion works.
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
Sometimes I get the records in the file as
a,b,
My conversion is failing, I mean it give me file as
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
The last element <3></3> is not getting created.
I tried to use lastFieldsOptional its not working.
How can I achieve this.
Regards,

Okay Satish I will give a last try to explain you my issue..
my CSV file is like this a,b,c,d
my conversion works fine so the xml is after conversion
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4>d</4>
Now few rows in the file may come as a,b,c, there is no d value it is blank.
so I expect the conversion to be now
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4></4>
like this, but what I am getting now is after conversion...
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
tag <4></4> is not getting created and my Outbound expects the XML to be in that format, so for this I tried to use lastfieldsoptional so that empty <4></4> tag is created but no luck...
This is what I want to do..
In the process even though <4></4> is not created File Content Conversion is successful and so Adapter Monitoring is showing success and my mapping fails.
Regards,

File Content Conversion on the Sender Adapter in PI 7.1

Hi Experts
I am working on a file to Proxy scenario where my file is fixed format length which will have only one Structures (Details Records) that would be coming from the text file but in the message type I have delcared Header, Detail , Trailer,
However I would be receiving the only Detail part (No header and Trailer) in some instances what value should I give for the header and trailer in the Content conversion part,
Thanks
PR

Since you are going to get values only some instances for header and trailer node, you can create
Header structure & Trailer structure - make the occurence 0 to 1
Note: if your Header and Trailer values are empty for some instances then no worries. You declare FCC fields for header and trailer similar to Details.
Refer SAP FCC help link.

.csv file Vs .txt file Content conversion sender file channel

Hi Experts,
I have a file with filename say input.csv.I want to do content conversion for these .CSV file.Is it same like we have to do for .txt file say input.txt.
when i open my .csv file in notepad, i get multiple rows with each field separated by ';'.what are the content conversion parameters we have to define for .csv file and can we mention input.csv as the file name as a source file name.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi,
Use the following parameters for Sender file channel in case of reading .csv file
Recordset Structure.fieldSeparator -
Recordset Structure.endSeparator -
'nl'
Recordset Structure.fieldNames -
provide field names separated with ,

File Content Conversion at the receiver side

Hello All,
I have a field which has to be truncated at 50th character. What content conversion parameters do I need to add ...?!?!?
Thanks,
Smita

Hi Smita,
As understood by your question you want a target field to be of 50 character,
either you can apply substring function in your mapping to that target node.
It would be much more clear if you mention hows your source file structure is it fixed length or delimiter separated, if it fixedlength file you can apply this parameter in Content conversion fixedLengthTooShortHandling with value Cut nad mention your required length.
Rewards point if it is helpful,
Thanks

File Content Conversion: Empty File

Dear Experts,
I'm doing a file to file scenario with FCC. My file gets picked up from the source folder but the communication channel doesn't send the file for processing ahead. This is the error I get in Communication channel monitoring:
Channel Send_Acceptance_File: Entire file content converted to XML format
2008-10-10 12:09:38| Warning |Channel Send_Acceptance_File: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2008-10-10 12:09:38| Success |Confirmation mode test found. File will be resent next time
I don't see any entry in sxmb_moni.
What could be the possible reason for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Merrilly

Hi Merrily
Problem is with your FCC.
Are you using Key field in FCC with and keyFieldInStructure as ignore?
This problem arises due to incorrect keys or Data type mis match for the record structure in FCC.
Thanks

File Content conversion at the sender adapter without Key field

Hi All,
I have a requirement ....We are using Message Transform Bean at the sender adapter (we are not going for FCC as we are tranforming a decryption) ..its is a flat file...
we dnot have a key field for one of the node .....we have total 5 nodes under parent node and one of the node does not have key field ....
NOTE: I guess we have to do either Java mapping or XSLT ..but not getting proper weblogs with program...
and not well versed with coding...i got few codes which were either not fulfilling requiremment or they use stream tranformation where it is decaprecated in NWDS and does not allow to compile it properly .
Can somebody get me a code for Java which uses Abstract tranformation ...which can full fill below requirement
parent node
              Node1
                   node 1a
                   node 1b
              Node 2
              Node 3
Input Flat file is in below format
example:
Employee Headre Flat files
Employee Detail Flat Files(this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Employee Trailer Flat Files
Loan Headre Flat files
Load Detaisl Flat Files (this repeates numerous times as much as number of employees)
Loan Trailer Flat files
Assitance much appreciated thanks .

Kiran

Hi Stefan,
I will rephrase the question i guess its communication gap...
1) we have an existing interface in 3.0..we are not copying the same interface to 7.1 as it was not according to standards and they are phasing out that system.
2) In 3.0 they are reading the Flat files under one record .. the structure is as follows:
Parent Node
           Node
               Row
They are reading all the flat files row by row.
and even in receiver they are reading in the similar fashion
3) In the current structure according to the FS we have to create a structure defined by them which is as below
      Employee
          Header
          Details   node 1
             Details node 1a
              Details node 1b
          Trailer
          Loan Header
          Loan Detail
          Loan Trailer
Receiver structure is
Employee
      Node (this will have the receiver fields which is about 30 fields)
4) We have pulled a sample file from 3.0 for the existing interface as we din get the sample file for existing one in FS and Iam not sure whn are they gonna send it.
5) In the existing interface payload we have everything matching even the field lengths and postions and even key fields and key fields we got from the FS
6) problem is we donot have key fields for the Details node 1a and 1b even in FS or the existing payload and we got an update from the FS consultant that we will be receiving these fields but without keyfields...
see i donot have any problem taking out the details 1a and 1b out of the details header and create the structure ,,,,but the main issue is without key field we will not be able to generate the 1a and 1b nodes or read it in the FCC or MTB (i have to use MTB as we are decryting the file from the sender).
Or is there any other method apart from java mapping or module development to handle these files
