XI File Sender CC, CDATA Sections

Question

Hello all,
i configured a File Sender CC with content conversion but the
integration engine gives me a parser exception because there are characters in the file which are not allowed for a field without CDATA section. Can i configure somewhere that for the content conversion CDATA sections are used ?
Thx !

Hi Andreas,
           Yes as the XML parser does not understand "'" char in the FIELD1 string, it gives the following errore. So to do that you need to put the following in CDATA, as the XML parser ignores anuting between CDATA.
To acheive CDATA you need to implement XSLT mapping.
Check out this link: <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping Mapping</a>
The code mentioned below is relevant to the example in the blog:
Pls follow the following steps to insert XML string into a single element:
Create a xsl file with the following data:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" NSpace>
<xsl:template match="/">
<namespace:name1>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<![CDATA[]]></xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="//namespace:name"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[]]]]></xsl:text><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text>
</namespace:name1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In the above code I have removed xmlns:p2="http://frik.bcc.com.pl" which is not needed.
Also you have to put '//' before the target element from where you want to start creating XML string over here it is name. And name1 is the element you want to store the XML string in.
So anything in the element name will be stored in name1
Regarding the namespace: To find out the namespace test your message mapping between the source and the target without adding XSLT mapping. After testing click on 'SCR' tab present on top of the target window. There you will see ns1: or ns2: attached to each element. Replace namespace in the above code with ns1: or ns2:. And replace NSpace in the above XSL Header with the namespace in the SCR of test map.
So the final XSL file will look like that:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/HR">
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns1:name1>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<![CDATA[]]></xsl:text><xsl:copy-of select="//ns1:name"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[]]]]></xsl:text><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[>]]></xsl:text>
</ns1:name1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Dont forget to put '//' before the target element.
This should work. Or pls put the source and target xml struct and we will assist you further.
