Wild Card as key field value in Content Conversion

Hi,
Can any one please tell me that can a wild card such as '*' be used as key field value.
Thnx,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Pravesh
For the file name in the sender file adapter you can use the '*' or '?'(as a placeholder for exactly one character)
You can also enable the "Advanced Selection for Source File" in the sender file adapter, where you can do two things:
a)you can specify an exclusion mask for the file name specified above.
b)you can specify/lits multiple directories with a file name and an associated exclusion mask, e.g. in file name you put ".txt" and in the associated exclusion mask "a". The every file with ".txt" except "a" will be fetched from that directory.
Try it out.

File Content Conversion - Key Field Value

Hi Experts,
I am using File to Idoc scenario for my mapping. In the receiver Communication channel, I am using File Content Conversion. My scenario is as follows :
I have a recordset with Header and Line items with Key Field Indicator as 'H' and 'L'. In some cases, the value for this Key Field is coming in as something other than 'H' and 'L'. I need to throw an exception when this Key Field is not 'H' or 'L'.
In the 'Content Conversion' tab, my attributes are as:
Header_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'H' and Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = 'L'. Is there any more attributes that I need to add ?
Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Freddy.

>>multiple key field values in FCC configuration i.e Line_Structure.keyFieldValue = H or L
AFAIK it is not possible but lets wait for other experts to comment on this...
>>Can keyFieldInStructure (add, ignore) parameter help me in this case ?
No. this parameter is only used when you want to include key filed in ur XML structure(add) or not (ignore)...

Key Field Value for File Adapter Sender Wildcard

Hello everybody, is there a way to use a wildcard for the property of NamA.keyFieldValue in the cc for a Fils Sender????, here's an example why, I need to take some Files via PI 7.0 and my key filed can change according to the file an example is that in a file can be HF28 and in another file can be HF29, the only character that is going to be constant is the H, I would really appreciate any suggestions, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Julio Cesar

Hi Julio
File sender adapter will read the file using FCC
Key Field Value entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry can be ignored

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.

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.

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.

Key Field Value in FCC

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario in PI, where I have 1 Header, n Data Records and 1 Trailer in the source file. This data is coming in CSV format.
I am using FCC to convert CSV into XML.
In the FCC, I have used keyFieldValue parameter. For the Header Record, the Key Field Value is constant "H"; for Trailer Record the key field value is constant "T".
However for Data Record, the key field value is not constant. The first character of Key field of Data Record will always be "D", but rest of the Alphabets can change.
Sample File:
"H","3.04",22/10/2009,16:31:12
"D2S",21/10/2009,20:00:26,"20044",00666,"S",1
"D2S",22/10/2009,14:26:20,"20044",00668,"S",1
"D0S",22/10/2009,08:33:34,"00044",04165,"S",1
"D0S",22/10/2009,11:59:59,"00044",04166,"S",1
"T",1393.27,1393.27,8
Here, first line is Header Line (Key Field Value "H"), Last Line is Trailer Line (Key Field Value "T") and all lines in between Header and Trailer are Data Records (Key Field Value starts with "D). I need to convert this file into XML.
I have no clue, if this can be converted into XML through FCC.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Varun

Write a simple module. The module will do a replace of the Dxx fields to D (you can use simple regex function for this)
After the module, use the messagetransformbean to do the FCC for you.
The module might sound complex, but trust me its a simple logic you need to implement and you can easily do the FCC with the messagetransformbean

How can we hide the non key field values in the sm30 display

hello experts,
I have to protect the non key field values in the sm30 display , can u help me out wat changes i have to do in the layout.

Hello Gopal,
What do you mean by 'protecting' your non-key field value?
1) You want to display it, but make it non-changeable
A - Make the field as output-only in screen, as already answered by a preivous collegue
2) You do not want to display this field at all
A - Goto the DDIC definition of the view (not possible for a table directly), and maintain the required field as a Hidden. After activating, remember to re-generate the maintenance dialogue. Also, please maintain Event 21, in case you want to access/change the value of this field in background.
3) You want to maintain special validations/checks for the field
This can be easily done by introducing your modules within the CHAIN-FIELD commands in the PAI of the generated screens.
Best Regards,
Rekha

Can we change key field values in table maintenance

Hi,
I have created Z-table and table maintenance for the same...
In table maintenance..Can we change key field values??
Is there any posibility????
Rayudu

you can do it in this way.
open sm30->tablname->edit
snow select the row(s)->copy->change the keyfield values-back->save.
no in that sm30, select records with old primary key and delete->save.
so you got all field similar for those record under modification, only the key field changed.

Key field values for file content conversion at sender communicationchannel

Hi all,
I am working on scenario File to Idoc.In this scenario at the sender side we configure the file content conversion for .CSV file.
In the flat file i am having more than one orders, XI will pick the file and creates a separate Idoc for each sales order at r/3.
We have similar fields "Order Item Number" both header and item.
If we got '00000' on the Header item then it should create a new idoc at the r/3 side other wise it will create line item.
Order item number will be 00000 for header but it will differ from order item to item.
source structure
Order Header
Order type
Sold-to-code
PO number
Order item number
Order date
AdresName1
AdresName2
Street and House number
Postal Code
City
Country Code
Filler
Order Item
Order type
Sold-to-code
PO number
Order item number
Order date
Product code
Order quantity
Item text
Filler
Now I have some questions....
I don't have standard filed values to give the key fileds at source structure.
I need to create the Idoc at r/3 system for each individual record.
Is it possible to create new idoc with out using the Key filed value?
If it is possible then how can i proceed with fcc?
please give me your valuable suggestions
Best Regards,
satya

Hi,
Just check the Content Conversion Parameters- Recordset Structure.
If you have filled in this parameter with
Header,1,Item,1
then change it to
Header,1,Item,3

Sender File FCC - Key Field Value not available in file

I am new to SAP PI. I am working on Sender FCC. Below is the source file structure. I need to handle multiple sub structures Header,1Data,*. I think I have to use Key.field Name and Value. But in the below format we don't have any indicator to identify which is header and which is data record. Please suggest how to processed.
Header Record (Pipe delimited) (Cardinality 1:1)
Date
Invoice Number
Total Amount
Company Name
Data Records (Fixed Length) (Cardinality 1:n)
Date
Amount
Country
Card Number
etc...

Setting primary key field value in jdoPrestore() not flushed to database ?BUG?

Hello,
When I set value of primary key field of a new instance in jdoPrestore() new
value does not get flushed to database - old (default) value get stored
instead. All other fields assigned in jdoPrestore() get successfully
flushed except primary key one.
Alex

Abe,
You fixed only part of the problem. Right now if I assign value to a PK
field in jdoPreStore() it does get flushed but there is another issue - all
other instances which referenced the one I assigned PK to will not get this
PK value. Example A references B, in B.jdoPreStore() I generate id for B -
b.id = 100. When A gets flushed it would not get 100 in its b_id field.
Specs says:
This method is called ***before the values are stored from the instance to
the StateManager***.
Data store fields that might have been affected by modified non-persistent
fields should
be updated in this method. This method is modified by the enhancer so that
changes to
persistent fields will be reflected in the data store.
The context in which this call is made allows access to the
PersistenceManager and
other persistent JDO instances.
I read it as callbacks should be invoked on ALL instances before they get
stored to StateManager. Does Kodo invoke callbacks for all istances first
and then store them to instance manager? Based on the problem I am having it
does not look like it

I have created a Table Maintance program through the Table Maintenance Generator. And for that I have assigned a t code.
I can able to create new entires but i can not able to modify Valid_from and Valid_to entries of existing records.
Initially those two fields were in display mode but i went to its module pool program and made then as input enabled. But what the vales I was entering, its not getting saved in database. When we change the values of those fields and save it, the system is saying No Data Change.
Any inputs how to solve this issue. I can not make VALID_FROM and VALID_TO fields as non key.
Regards,

Hi,
As you have already said that the value for valid to is a part of the key so you should not have any issues when this value is changed and the value is saved using the table maintainence generator, but in case you want to save values where the value for valid from has changed but the key is same we would not be able to save as there is already a value for the key, so if you want to save these values there are two ways 1 would either to delete the existing value value and create the new value or to have one more field as the key field like a counter so when the value is saved with a key the value is saved with counter as 1 and then ever next time for the new values increase the value of the counter.
In order to save these values use event 5 and put you code there.
You can also carry out checks for new aithorization in that event also.

Automatic price update if key field values changed in sales order and bill

Hi Experts,
I have requirement as follows.
Scenario: - We wanted carryout the pricing based on Incoterms, customer and material. I have created the condition table with these fields. And maintained the condition record. The values will flow to sales order without any problem.

Problem: - When we change the incoterms say for CIF to FOB the system should redetermine the price automatically, but this is not happening (If will redetermine only freight). If we carryout new pricing manually the right price will flow.

Expectations: - Is their any exit or any configuration setting where in system will redetermine the price automatically if we change the field value in sales order(For the field value it will be used to create condition table).
If anyone done this please help me with setting or Exit and code to enable us to come out from the situation.
We need this to happen while creating sales order as well as billing, Since @ billing prices will be redetermined.
Thanks in advance for the needful.
With regards,

Key field value in outbound/sender file adapter

Hi,
I have a flat file coming in PI. The structre for the same is
1. Detail record line ocurs n number of time
2.Summary record line occurs only once at the end
I have defined a datatype as follows
<DT>
 <Recordset>
 <Detail>
 All the detail fields
 </Detail>
 <Summary>
 All the summary fields
 </Summary>
</Recordset>
</DT>
Now the number of detail record is not know. But there is only one summary record.
In the sender file adapter do we need to configure the keyfield paramter? If the number of detail record is * .
The problem is the input file does not has any key field to parse/identify the detail or sumary record.
Any alternative?
Thanks

hi ,
if you have two structures so do like this:
Recordset strucrure detail,summary*
detail.fieldFixedlength : 10,20
detail.fieldNames : xxx,yyy
summary.fieldFixedlength : 10,20
summary.fieldNames : www,vvv
rest configuration will be same.
hope this will help.
