Using Conversion file

Hi friends,
I am using a Conversion file to load a data file. In my data file, dimension member is like "0001234" while loading i want to skip frist three digits "000". could you please help me..
Thank in advance

For a simpler solution, probably you could just set the mapping in your transformation file:
*COL(A, B:C)
A = column index in the data file
B:C = the start and end positions within the column
This function defines a dimension for a subset of a field in the data file.
EXAMPLE
Account=*COL(3,1:4)
Please refer to: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/5d/9a3fba600e4de29e2d165644d67bd1/content.htm
Hope this helps...

Conversion File - Getting one record and skip the rest

Hi Experts,
I have one issue using conversion file. Is it possible to get only the records that we want without using SKIP? Example below:
Product
Partner
Invoice No
P1111
PA1
INV1
P2222
PA2
INV2
P5555
PA3
INV3
P9999
PA1
INV4
Let's say I want to get all the product number for partner - PA1.
Instead of using skip in the conversion file as below, is there another way to do in conversion file?
Internal
External
PA2
*SKIP
PA3
*SKIP
The reason is because I might have partner PA4, PA5 in future and i will need to modify the conversion file to include to SKIP PA4 and PA5.
Is there a way to get the data for partner PA1 only?
Appreciate your advice.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Ng

Hi Bishwajit,
Thank you for the response. I actually tried to use java script previously but I can't get it working. I am not really good at it. I tried several ways using if condition and SKIP but it keeps on fail with error saying "Java scription JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) evaluation error".
Followings are the list of sample I have tried so far:
Internal - *
External - JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%!=PA1 THEN SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string!=PA1 THEN SKIP) or
               JS:IF(%EXTERNAL%.string()!=PA1 THEN *SKIP) and etc.
I am not sure if we can use SKIP in that way. Appreciate if you can advice on this.
Thank you.

In a Conversion file, Using Java Script - IF statement with Greater,Less definitions

Hail to All Gurus,
Well, I've been trying to make a conversion file by using if statement of Java script with < , > definitions. unfortunately i got "Evolution error" over and over again.
Actually i want to convert all dates before 2009 as 2008.12. And the dates which is greater than 2009 will be converted as they are (e.g. 2009.01 or 2010.02 etc.).
Code is:
js:if(%external%.toString().substring(0,4)<"200900"){"2008.12"}else{%external%.toString().substring(0,4) + "." + %external%.toString().substring(4,6)}

Sadi,
You can write if Statement in transformation not conversion.
Look at this docs,

BPC : Using Dimension Property in Formula of a Conversion File

Hi,
I want to export data using Package Export from Fact Table. I have transformation and conversion files.
I want to use the property of a dimension in Formula Column of a Conversion file.
I want to lookup the property and based on property I want to either skip record or have internal value.
I am looking for something like follows..
=iif([%external%].TYPE = WBS,*SKIP,D2113)
So if my Dimension 's TYPE property is WBS , I would like to skip that record else I want the value from fourth column.
I am running the Export from Fact Table with various combinations in formula column , but it is only returning null in the export file.
Please let me know how I can make this work.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Amount Conversion File error using VALUE keyword in BPC 7.5M

Hi Experts,
We just migrate from BPC 7.0M to BPC 7.5M. We also change the server to multi-server arquitecture 64-bit (Application server and BD Server).
When we try to Import or Validate Transformation File with Amount conversion file using VALUE keyword, the system returns: "Error: Validate with data file failed". The content of conversion file columns:
EXTERNAL= *
INTERNAL= *
FORMULA = VALUE*0.001
At first, we thogut that was a problem with 0.001 but we tried diferent formulas with the same error:
FORMULA = VALUE*1
FORMULA = VALUE*2
FORMULA = 0.001*VALUE
We also tried to use VALUE keyword with case sensitive and the result was the same. And when we don't use VALUE keyword the validation is OK.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Albert

The conversion file AMOUNT_TEST.XLS has only one line. With this conversion we want to change value from u20AC to Ku20AC.
You should think that we used these transformation and conversion files in BPC 7.0M and it works fine.
I'd like to remember that if we don't use AMOUNT_TEST.XLS or delete VALUE keyword, these transformation file works fine too.
nilanjan, I tried to validate data file with one record and the system show me the same error.
Roberto, our first migration was from BPC 7.0M to BPC 7.5M SP3, but we didn't test it. Then we apply SP7 because to solve other issues, and when we try to validate data load we detect that issue.
Thank you for your help, I hope we can solve that problem soon.

How to use .mod files from a JVC camcorder?

Hi All,
I'm trying to find the proper workflow for using .mod files from a JVC Everio model camcorder. I was able to transfer the files onto my system by simply using the included usb cable from the unit. It simply mounted the camera's flash card on my desktop and I was able to drag all of the files from it.
As others have posted, the .mod files are not accessible using the Import function in FCP. I am able to open them with MPEGStreamClip as other have suggested. My question is, how should the files be converted to use with FCP and/or DVDSP? In MPEGStreamclip the file shows the video stream as: 224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 16:9, 29.97 fps, 8.40 Mbps, upper field first. I tried a few of the demux functions. The straight demux to .m2v & .ac3 yields a file that opens in QT, but it shows up as a 640x480 file and is noticably squeezed. Using the demux unscaled yields a file that opens in QT as a 720x480 file and looks somewhat better. And using the demux to headed yields as file that opens in QT as 720x404 and presumably is the correct 16:9 ratio.
Trying to use those same files in DVDSP didn't get me very far. If I create a new HD project in DVDSP I can import the straight demuxed file and the headed file. The unscaled file won't import. If I add the imported files to tracks the straight demuxed one will play in the simulator but the headed one simply shows a green screen.
I'm hoping that since MPEGStreamclip can play the files, its just a question of figuring out the proper export/conversion settings. My end goal is to produce a dvd of the footage (not exactly sure if I should be using an HD project or a SD project set to letterbox). I also need to produce a web-ready version of the footage. I haven't tried this yet but I'm assuming that one of the QT exports from MPEGStreamclip will get this done correctly.
Hopefully someone has a workable solution for these files.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
I looked further on this forum and found others that had the same problem. One suggested connecting the cam corder first, then start iMovie, then wait for a few minutes. I did this and it worked!!!!!
Problem solved.
Thanks.

Cannot process a Fixed Field Length file using the File Adapter (Sender)

Hi -
I have checked throughout these posts and blogs but I still have not been able to find a solution to my issue. When using the File Adapter (Sender) I get a Conversion initialization failed with "xml.keyfieldName", no value found. Why would I require a key field when I am using fixed field lenghts? The file is comprised of 2 structures - 1 header and multiple details (see below). There are no key fields in the flat file that I would be able to use. Any suggestions?

Hi,
you can use the module from which u can convert your structure to
H011000390 Customer Americas 20080605164317 000000000000000800000008000000000016000000

D12345678 100501 100501 Supplier 2 0000000000052000002008042100
Please note the extra H,D in the struture added by the module.
You can then use them as your key fieldValues.. The module should be deployed in Visual Admin and then can be used in the Module tab of your adapter CC
While writing the content conversion after that please dont forget about the added new characters
Please note also that i can find that the word supplier kept repeating in all the Dtachkp records
Please use that
Also if you feel that the field is of 13 characters and that would cause a problem dont worry... create a dummy field eg split tht 13 to two fields and use the common one as key field Value and identifier... as i see in ure case its like 500 Supplier , 502 Supplier . u can split the first 4 char and the remaing 9 char are key field value.
try this out

How to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP

hi Experts
I would like to READ/SAVE Transformantation / Conversion File in BPC with ABAP

I want to run Interface test from ABAP using Transformantation / Conversion File before run DM.
and, l want to Manage files with ABAP Program ,if need to modify Transformantation / Conversion File
Thank you.

Hi Young,
In addition to the above suggestions, would like to inform you that, if your requirement can be met by running those files in BPC Excel itself, what is the point in running ABAP program for the same?
It would be much more easier for you to run those files in BPC Excel itself and that is how BPC is designed.
Hope this clarifies further.

Multiple files in different directory using single FILE adaptor

Hi Guys,
How can we handle multiple files having different format(PDF,TXT,EXCEL) and in different directory with the single FILE adaptor.
I know by using "." we ca get mutilple files, but here tthe files are of different format and in different directory.
Could you please explain as to how we can handle this scenarios?
Thanks
Sahil

Hi,
The short answer is - "No".
The Long Question - "Why do you want to use a SINGLE channel".
If your idea is to reuse the interface then dont worry... Except for the Senderchannel and Sender agreement all your other objects can be reused ...provided your sender apter converts the different files into the same XML format..
For TXT you can use the simple file adpater..
For excel see if you can use save the file as .CSV format...then you can use it directlky by the simple FIle adapter..
For PDF use conversion agent... Here a blog to get u started on that ->

PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter

I have a scenario where PI needs to obtain a zip file via FTP using the File adapter, this zip file contains a number of txt files that I need to process, and the content of one of them send it to an ECC, now I'm using the PayloadZipBean Module in the Sender FIle Adapter, and I have two things if I use the Message Protocol as File, I get a Payload for each txt file in the zip file, but this payload has no structure, and if I use the File Content Conversion I get an XML strcuture with only one field and a strange string in it, and somewhere in this string the names of the files I assume all the content of the zip file, can anyone help on how could I achieve what I need that is to pull the zip file via SAP PI, then unzip it, and with the content of one of the txt files send it to an ECC via ABAP Proxy, thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Raul Alvarado

Hello Raul,
you can do it in futher way ...
pickup zip file and simply extract and dump it in another temp folder (can use scripts on OS level).
@ then Use another sender communication channel to pickup all these text file .
for further clarification you can use these links also. -

SFTP to File Scenario using multiple files

Hi All,
I have a scenario wherein 2 separate CSV files ex a.csv and b.csv has to be picked up from the SFTP folder and the same has to be mapped and send to one single file ex c.csv.
Say a.csv contains fields Name,Address and b.csv contains Phone,Mobile and I need to map them as per FSD into c.csv which will then have Name,Address,Phone,Mobile
I am bit confused on how to do it.
Shall I use Additional File name option in SFTP sender channel configuration? In that case how will I use the FCC as we have 2 separate csv files and both the files are CSV files and needs to be converted to XML.
Any related threads will help.
Regards,
Shaibayan

Hi Inaki,
Thanks for your reply.
BPM is not an option in our case as we are told not to use BPM.
However as per the thread from Michael
"pick both files in one run (one as file, the other one as attachment - so one communication channel )
inside the mapping you can get the values from the attachment and do the mapping"
This part is fine and we can do the mapping by creating N:1 mapping but since our files are .csv files so a content conversion is required for both the a.csv and b.csv. How to go through with this.
The structure will be something like below in the message mapping after we add both the source structures in Signature Tab:
Message
     Message1
          MT_FILE_A
               RecordSet1
                    Name
                    Address
                    Field3
     Message2
          MT_FILE_B
               RecordSet2
                    Phone
                    Mobile
Can I use the below values for Content Conversion?
Document Name:MT_FILE_A,MT_FILE_B
Recordset Structure:RecordSet1,*,RecordSet2,* or we have to use MT_FILE_A.RecordSet1,*,MT_FILE_B.RecordSet2.*
And in the Name Value for Name do we need to use dot for each Document Name i.e.
MY_FILE_A.RecordSet1.fieldSeparator?

Shaibayan

Increase number of rows in a Conversion File

Hi Experts,
I´m setting up a huge conversion file (around 25000 rows), and when I`m going to validate it, Only the first 3568 rows are safe.
Does anybody know how to modify the conversion file, in order to allow more rows?
Thank`s in advance.

Hi,
Isnt it very tedious to maintain such a huge conversion file? Can you consider to use some java scripts or some wild characters to reduce the number of rows in your file.
Hope this helps.
