Steps for performing Flat file to XML

hey,
does any one have steps for performing flat file (.csv) to XML conversion. how is the mapping in the design performed.
kalyan.

Kalyan,
Consider my example, I have input file as csv structure and want it to convert into .xml file thats it.
Input file
J,24
P,22
I want the output file like
<Emp_Details>
<F1>J</F1>
<F2>24</F2>
</Emp_Details>
<Emp_Details>
<F1>P</F1>
<F2>22</F2>
</Emp_Details>
I doesn't know whether the above matches exactly ur reqmt, but there is the option.

Error in Performing Flat-File Reconciliation

Hi All,
I was trying perform flat file reconcilation using the GTC Connector. The format of my flat file (PPSLocal.txt) is like this:
Account Name|Full Name|Domain|Last Logon Timestamp|Description|GUID|Mail|Employee ID|First Name|Last Name
PPS\SophosSAUPPS010|SophosSAUPPS010|PPS.LOCAL||Used for download of Sophos updates|EED86D86-750C-404A-9326-044A4DB07477||||

PPS\S6Services|Series 6 Services Account|PPS.LOCAL||Series 6 Services Account|B4F41EE2-6744-4064-95F6-74E017D0B9AF||||
I created a GTC Connector "OtherDomain" specified all the configuration;
Staging Directory (Parent identity data) /home/GTC
Archiving Directory /home/GTC/archive
File Prefix PPS
Specified Delimiter |
File Encoding UTF8
Source Date Format yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss z
Reconcile Deletion of Multivalued Attribute Data check box unchecked
Reconciliation Type Full
After that i performed the connector configuration mapping and ran the respective schedule task which displayed the following error message on console:

However, to my amazement, the reconciliation event for all the user are getting created in OIM Design console;
I have tried changing the directory /home/GTC permission to 777 also but it didnt help.
If anyone has any clue on this, kindly help.
Cheers,

AS you are saying that fiel is there.
Can you please tell me how your recon sch task is running, I mean to say at what interval or once or daily ?
If you are putting your file in parent form it is going to archive after recon. that';s correct and your recon manager is getting users that is also correct it means your recon si working fine.
Now to run this recon second time you have to put one more fiel with new records or updated records in the parent dir otherwise it shows error.
For me it is not showing any error.
As user774847 is saying that it is known issue, i can't comment on this as I am not getting this error. I get this error only when i don't put any flat file in parent dir and i run the sch task.
Just put new file or updated one for each time you run the SCh Task and make the SCh Task ONCE or Daily.
Let me know if errors are still coming

Error in Flat File to XML conversion

Hi all,
I am trying to convert a flat file to XML using the Sender File Adapter and I am getting the following error message.

Any help or suggestion please.
Thank you.

Hi, Ranjan.
First of all, let's look at the meaning of the error.
> ...Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to
> structure 'GL_FileUpload_SAPECC_Header_DT1':java.lang.Exception:
> ERROR in configuration: more elements in file csv structure than
> field names specified!
It seems that XI interpreted 2nd line as
Header_DT1 not as Item_DT1 that you meant.
> GL,GLI,4011,3011,,,,,,AU,600,7000,8000,9000,5000,RK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That's why it says this line has more elements than the structure
defined(Header_DT1)
And the reason why XI misinterpreted the above as Header is that
you used keyFieldValue with the same value.
> ...Header_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
> ...Item_DT1.keyFieldValue: GL
According to the following help,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
it says like the following.
Key Field Name
If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset
Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value
*, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from
their content. This means that a key field must be set with different
constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key
field and the field name must occur in all substructures.
How about using different constants for header and item if possible?
Good luck.

Flat File to XML mapping Problem

I am facing some issues in mapping from flat file to XML. I have not reached to the stage of actually executing the scenario and the problem has not advanced beyond mapping tests.
Following are structures of inbound flat file (as specified in content conversion parameters of sender adapter)
Document Name          MMADealerStatementInbound_MT
Recordset Name          MMADealerStmtInbound_Type
Recordset Structure 
BatchHeader,1,DealerHeader1,,DealerHeader2,,DealerDetail,,DealerAgeing,,Trailer,1
Recordset Sequence           Ascending
Key Field Name          RecordType
Key Field Type               String (Case Sensitive)

HI,
Possible mention the source Message/Data Type and Target Data Type and Mapping Rules reuired. Then I think it may be useful to give some hints.
btw , What is the error in Mapping ?

How to convert flat file to XMl without key field value

Hi experts,
I have a input CSV Flat file which has got one HEADER line and Multiple Detail records.
I do not have any key field value to convert this FLAT file to XML using normal file content conversion.
Is there any module or Bean which can be used to convert this Flat File to XML.
Or any other remedy to overcome this problrm.
Thanks in advance.

Pradeep

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for the reply.
Ur understanding is perfectly alright.Lets say my file is like below.

I am not using the first line in the mappiing.
Are you saying that I need to ignore the first line while doing the conversion using Recordset OFFSET ?
Or do I need to make a single structure taking all the fields from header as well as details and while defining the structure I need to ignore the fields from header?
Please suggest.

Hi ,

I need o/p in 2 format . ie, 1) Flat File 2 ) XML file
I have a plan to go with Interface determination , 2 IM and what shd be the condition ?
or Else 2 Receiver detmination but condition ?
How to slove this ?
Need the Output from Idoc in 2 format ( Flat file and XML file )
Any Blog , Thread ...Tips...etc
Regards,
Jude

Hi Jude,
Do like this:
1. Create two inbound Service Interface (with the same target Message Type)
2. Create separate Operation mapping with the above service interfaces as target (with the same source service interface)
3. Create Interface Determination and include these two operation mapping (without any condition)
4. Create 2 receiver agreement (with two separate communication channel) for each of the target service Inetrface. In one channel use content conversion and the other one will give you normal XML output

URGENT : Program to convert flat file to XML file.

Hello,
       Good Morning. I want an urgent program to convert a flat file seperated by '/' to an XML file format and store that in the the application server. If any one has done such a developement, could you please send me the code.
The flat file format is as below :
72/070414/114147/11973//100-//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353825001511172/72/070414/123620/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////354762008125236/72/070414/125411/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002697/72/070414/140820/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353057002479718/72/070414/145438/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002739/72/070414/145438/11973//1000-//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////353057002479718/72/070414/150008/13814//1000
It needs to be filtered by removing the '/' and also grouped based on two fields namely store number and transaction number. The sample XML output required is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Convertion of flat file to XML using DOM

Hi!
I need help for convert a flat file to XML using DOM and by taking the validation of a specified DTD. Can any body help me in this regard.
Bye,
lat

first you have to decide how the flat file will map to xml. Will you use attributes or pcdata for your fields, or both? Will there be a hierarchy, or will it be mostly flat?
Once decided, you'd probably just use a BufferedReader to read the lines one at a time, and generate Dom nodes as appropriate, and stick them in the tree.
