File Content Conversion

Hi All,

File - XI - R/3 scenario. Here the incoming file has many line items. The number of fileds of each line item is identified on its first field. Based on the first field of the incoming file, I want to select the Sender Message Type. Is it possible?

If yes, how?

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

With the approach of BPM, instead of switch still you can achieve it using Conditional Interface Determination where you can select different interfaces.

Avoid usage of BPM as it is a performance constraint.

Greg,

If i got your requirement correct, you want to dynamically determiene the source messagetype after content conversion.

This is not possible.

You can only give one value for the Document Name and DocumentNamespace and create the Message type name and namespace.

What you can do is avoid a BPM and use a conditonal Interface / Receiver Determination and rotue this source message to the correct receiver/ inbound interface and thereby the message mapping.

Hi Greg,

U want to send different messages to same receiver?

As I think get u r message from the outbound interface used to get data from FTP. Then pass this message to BPM and then use switch to decide the message structure .

Hi Keith,

1.U want to send different messages to same receiver?

Yes, different <b>Message Structures</b>. Only 1 sender and 1 receiver in my case

2.Yes, file is picked up from FTP..

3. I have to read the first ield, so Message mapping should be used inside BPM??
