File content conversion in Sender Adapater for multiple occurances

Posted on Aug 01, 2006 at 12:36 PM 93 Views

Hi ,

I am mapping from flat file to idoc .

My flat file is a tab demilited

Since the idoc would have structure

like header , lineitem , schedule

in my flat file conversion

i am giving recordset structure

as header,1,lineitem ,,schedule,

since lineitem would be repeated many times

Bt if i give * i need to give a keyfieldname

which would mean that keyfieldname has to appaer in header and schedule .

since in my case my Column values in header , lineitem and schedule are different

how can i do the file conversion in this case

i can doing something like this

header.keyFieldValue ""

schedule.keyFieldValue ""

header.keyFieldInStructure ignore

schedule.keyFieldInStructure ignore

i am not even sure if thats the correct way

Thanks

Amit

    if you are gonna give;

    header,1,lineitem ,,schedule,

    then a key field is needed in content conversion and i beleive you intend to say u dont have a keyfield for any of these fields. Can you confirm the same !!!

    Since you dont have a keyfield, the next best way to read the file wud be ina record-row fashion. Chk - /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/11/29/night-mare-processing-huge-files-in-sap-xi

    Hi,

    I dealt with a similar situation where I wasnt able to deal with the file data in the content conversion level.

    I read the entire records into individual fields and then handled it using java mapping.

    If you can provide the sample data it would be more clear.
