Dynamic Content Conversion

[Former Member]

Hi there

I have a scenario that produces different output structures. All of the comes from the same MM and goes to the same output file which is a fixed length flat file. Lets say I have 3 types of output:

Type1:

Name

Surname

Type2

Name

Surname

Address

Type3

Name

Surname

Address

Phone

How can I design my content conversion that it would handle these 3 types? each type has got a different number of fields. Like I mentioned this must be fixed length.

Thanks,

Jan

Hi,

I think you can have look at below and try to implement in your scenario.

Use the following parameters if you want to influence the behavior of the conversion routine for inbound structures that deviate from the configuration.

● NameA.missingLastfields

If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:

○ ignore

Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure

Warm Regards,

Chandra.

Hello,

Hi,

u25CF NameA.missingLastfields

If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:

u25CB ignore

Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure

NameA.missingLastfields is not supported at receiver CC, i have tried with this, but failed. Could you check this again.

I have tried the following it works ok.

In FCC, use the follwing parameters:

RecordSetStructure: Type (Incase type is your parent node)

Type. fieldSeparator = , (it may by any thing #, etc)

Type.endSeparator = 'nl'.

Inorder to produce the same output strucutr in flat file like below

Name,Surname,,
Name,Surname,Address,
Name,Surname,Address,Phone

Check this link where i have explained how to solve this issue.

Hi,

You have to use diiferenent CC for diiferent nodes.

use fieldFixedLength and use keepIncompleteFields. You will get it.

NameA.fieldFixedLengths

Specify a character string containing a list of fixed column widths that are separated by commas and determine the number and the length of columns generated in the text file.

Hi,

Just add the NameA.missingLastfields :ignore .

Maintain the FCC parameter for Type3 structure.

dynamic content conversion is not possible

you will have to use different CC per different message you need.
