File conversion in a file adapter

Hi
I am using a FTP file adapter to place the file in the ftp servers.
The structure of the file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <p2:MT_Cust xmlns:p2="http://RashidaBPM">
<Cust_no>KRTEST2</Cust_no>
<Cust_Name>XI CUSTOMER 2</Cust_Name>
<Cust_Address>GB</Cust_Address>
</p2:MT_Cust>
I want the resulta to come in as cust_no , cust_name, cust_address
Can someone please help me to get the centent conversion parameters correct to get the desired result
Thanks
Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,
To convert a XML file into a flat file you need to have a Stucture of the XML file like this one mentioned below:
<root>
<substructure>
<data>
</data>
</substructure>
<root>
By XML I mean the input data, that will be routed from XI server to FTP servers.
now the parameters to be given in Content Conversion Tab and which are of utmost importance are:
substructure.fieldSeparator
root.fieldSeparator
substructure.endSeparator
you can also use the methods such as fieldFixedLengths etc.
Include these methods and test your scenario again.
I hope it helps,
Thanks & Regards,

File conversion and append file in receiver file adapter

Hi
I have a batch IDoc -> XI(3.0) -> file scenario with file conversion to create a flat CSV-like file. The problem is that because of the amount of data sent from R/3 (~20000 employees), the idoc is split into several idocs. In my receiver file adapter I want to append all the idocs contained in this data transfer to one flat file, before transmitting to FTP server.
For the next batch transfer (the next day) XI should start all over and create a new file and append all idocs contained in that transfer before transmitting the flat file to FTP server.
Can this be done using the 'Use Temporary File' and 'Append' options in the FTP connection Parameters in the comm-channel?
It is not an option to append the file in the FTP-server, because the files in the destination folder are moved immediately after arrival, so the file will be moved before file adapter can append all the files.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how to solve this?

XML file conversion after sender file content conversion

Hi,
I have issue refarding file content conversion.
My input structure is
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH>
<RECL>
<RCIC>
<TRNH>
Afetr sender File content conversion (csv to xml) it produces xml file as below (since file conversion does not support 3rd level of hierarchy)
<TRNH>
<RECH>
</RECH>
<RECL>
</RECL>
</TRNH>
It does not recognize RCIC.
Now i am trying to map this to IDOC and getting error as
'MT_RCICRecords tag found instead of IDOC BEGIN ='.
CAn anyone suggest me how to chaage this xml output after File content conversion to add RCIC tag in xml file?
I am new to XI so please give me some sample code to.
Thanks.
Yashpal
Its urgent!

My problem is xml generated from content conversion is like below
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH></TRNH>
<RECH></RECH>
<RECL></RECL>
<TRLR></TRLR>
</MT_RCICrecords>
and i want it to be
<MT_RCICrecords>
<TRNH></TRNH>
<RCIC>
<RECH></RECH>
<RECL></RECL>
</RCIC>
<TRLR></TRLR>
</MT_RCICrecords>
which is not happening
My input message structure is
MT_RCICrecords
TRNH
RCIC
RECH
RECL
i hope it is clear now

Flat file conversion-Ignore data in incoming file(Sender)

Hi All,
We have a below requirement for sender flat file:
In our datatype we have Recordset
                                             - Item
In file we are getting as
             Header(Values)
             Item......
             Item.....
             Trailor(Values)
I want to ignore Header and Trailor data at channel level.Could you please tel me how Can i do that?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards,
Harleen Kaur Chadha

Hi,
For the structure mentioned in query
we are receiving data from sender as
     Records
         Header(Values)
         Item....
         Item...
        Trailor
and we have set recordset per message as 1 in communication channel
In sender datatype we have
          Records
           Header (Field1..1)
            Item(Record 1...n)
          Trailor(Field 1..1)
         Records
We are using ignore parameter to ignore header and Trailor values it works if we are getting one item but if multiple items are coming its failing at channel level.
Could you please suggest which parameter we can use to ignore Header and Trailor using recordset per message as 1 as a option?
Thanks in advance

File Conversion in Rec File Adapter with subnodes

Hi
My XML Structure is like this -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_Test xmlns:ns0="urn:TESTconversion">
<MstName>Hello</MstName>
- <Header>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<PayDate>0102</PayDate>
<TotalAmt>24.00</TotalAmt>
<Total>000002</Total>
<PaySource>CHK</PaySource>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>200</CustID>
<PayAmount>11.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>400</CustID>
<PayAmount>13.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
</Header>
- <Header>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<PayDate>0103</PayDate>
<TotalAmt>10.00</TotalAmt>
<Total>000001</Total>
<PaySource>ONE</PaySource>
- <Subheader>
<TableName>1tst</TableName>
<SelectCatgry>test</SelectCatgry>
<CustID>100</CustID>
<PayAmount>10.00</PayAmount>
</Subheader>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_Test>
which means
MT_Test is root 1..1
Header is the sub-node of MT_test as 1...*
Subheader is sub-node of Header which is also 1...*
rest of the fields are elements as 1..1
Now I need to convert this into Flat file using Receiver File Adapter, I gave this in my content conversion logic
recordset Structure -
MstHeader,BFKKZK,BFKKZP
MstName.addHeaderLine     0
MstName.fieldFixedLengths     8
MstName.endSeparator     'nl'
Header.addHeaderLine     0
Header.fieldFixedLengths     30,10,15,6,6
Header.endSeparator     'nl'
Subheader.addHeaderLine     0
Subheader.fieldFixedLengths     34,10,35,16
Subheader.endSeparator     'nl'
But with this I am getting exception as -->
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure 'ns0:MT_Test' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
I know that http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/686e687f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/content.htm says following -->
The expected XML structure contains the structure as nodes filled with any number of elements without additional subnodes.
But does that mean Structure with sub-nodes cannot be converted in flat format.
Pls. suggest the solution for this.

I resolved the issue & able to convert the hierarchical XML file into flat file with the desired format I wanted.
Rather then FCC, I use MessageTransformBean module and I have to insert more dummy contexts & dummy fields in the target structure in order to achieve the flat file format.
I am getting file ( not actual file below just template is shown below) like this now
Header1 ....details....
SubHeader1.1
SubHeader1.2
SubHeader1.x
Header2 ....details....
SubHeader2.1
SubHeader2.2
SubHeader2.x
Headerx ....details....
SubHeaderx.1
SubHeaderx.2
SubHeaderx.x
Once the total development is over on my side I will create the blog for this. So this following statement is only correct when you use protocol as FCC but not with module.
"The expected XML structure contains the structure as nodes filled with any number of elements without additional subnodes."

N93: VIDE0 FILE CONVERSION playback: AVI file to 3...

I would like my AVI movie collection to play on the N93...
Does anybody have a good tutorial to do so? i.e what software, settings, etc, Of course there is Adobe Premiere Elements, quicktime pro and this free software Super @,
But how to use it?
thanks!

Check also http://forum.nokia.com/video for tables of supported audio/video formats.
Use that information to choose which converter and what conversion settings to use, when you want to make your AVI files work on the phone.
A fairly powerful tool for such conversions, IMO, is SUPER by eRightSoft:

File conversion, from .mpg files to useable files for iMovie on new MacBook

i wasnt really sure where to post this, but since my end goal is to be able to use all my videos for editing on iMovie it seemed like the best place, i have many .mpg files that i would like to simply convert to a file of equal quality that iMovie will recognize, theres pages and pages of converters on google but they either are trial versions that will leave water marks or there are websites that will only convert files up to 100mb, i just need a simple converter for the videos i have, i dont want to spend 50 bucks on software that ill only use once and i obviously dont want water marks or a decrease in quality, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

You want MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html which is a free download.
If your movie is an MPEG-2 or VOB file (i.e. from an unencrypted DVD), you also need the MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ which costs US$19.99

How to covert a flat txt file to a binary dat file

hi, am working on a project. i have to insert all the data into a dat file in a binary format. my input file is a flat text file. i have written the code for this job. the code executes ok but it doesnt' write into the dat file. please help me out.
here is my method for binary conversion---- >
public static void BinaryOutFile(String fileName){
     try{
          File fileOut=new File(fileName);
          DataOutputStream out=new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(
                                   new FileOutputStream(fileOut)));
          for(int i=0;i<array.size();i++)
               String con=(String)array.get(i);
     //System.out.println(""+con);
               if(!con.equals(""))

no i never flush or close the output stream.

I have 100 data files, I want to join them together as one data file

I need to join approx. 100 data files into one data file, and be able to read back each data file from that one big file. I would also like a feature to count how many files are in the main one file. The data files contain graphs, text and numerics.

What you want to do is not going to be easy to implement. The idea is that files are just binary data and you can join the data into one binary file. The trick is going to be creating the appropriate header for the binary file to include things like file location--the beginning and end of a subfile--as well as the number of files. The exact structure of the header is really left up to you and your imagination.
Why do you want to join all the files into one? It sounds like what you have works now and making one file increases the chances that all of your data will be lost if the file becomes corrupted. Also LabVIEW is limited to files of about 2GBytes, so you will be more likely to run into this limit.

Is there a way to get Indesign data into a data file?

I am updating a catalog in InDesign. I would like to be able to get all of the data in the catalog in an external data file. This data file would have to be searchable, reportable and shareable. In essence I have customers who want access to the data for their web sites - some want all the data and some want only selected pieces. When I say data, I mean the pictures and all the text boxes too. Help!!!!

There are several plugins like smart catalog or easy catalog, but also others, which are linking InDesign content to a database, some in both directions, which means, changes done in InDesign are written to the DB and the other way too.
