Hallo all,
we have the following problem.
we implemented a scenario as sown in this blog
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/06/08/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-various-field-lengths-and-variable-substructures-to-xi-30
but there is a problem.
If the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
then the adapter does not even read the file from the directory (so I assume that for some reason the file structure is not as expected).
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works.
Obviously though, this is not satisfying since we need variable cardinalities.
Here is an example :
I have a specific file in a standard directory, called xi_input.
The file is edited straight into that directory, so there can't be filename errors etc.
If the file is left empty :
Nothing happens . No message of any kind in sxmb_moni/monitoring xml messages .
If the file contains the following (data is random) , where 'H' is the key for the header and 'I' is the key for the items :
H 20060403 16 3 316001 kapou lalla morellala 20060403 F3 23
I 277101010 2
I 277101011 3
I 277101012 4
There are to cases :
if the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
Then nothing happens .
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works .
Any suggestions and help is appreciated
Thank you .
