Receiver File Error while using Dynamic Configuration

[sridharreddy_kondam]

Hi All,

My Scenario is from SAP IDOC --> PI --> FIle...

In the mapping i have used the dynamic variable substitution for the receiver file....

The Dyanamic file will be alwasy generated irrespective of the condition for the Mapping...

Now Whenever SAP sends IDOC then file to be created . If the condition is met then there is no problem the file is being created...

But if condition is not met then the error is being thrown in the Communication Channel...

Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "10.1.999.222:21": java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure '' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'

Note the payload has the dyanmic file generated....

And when i tested the mapping by coping the payload then

I am getting the target with empty ...but with MT_ProductMaster node...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns0:MT_ProductMaster xmlns:ns0="http://xyz/Ix_ProductMaster/WMS"></ns0:MT_ProductMaster>

and the error i think bcz of this payload ... but i dont have any option to remove this .... because if condition not met then the root node always will be created...

In CC File Content conversion i have given like this

Record setStructure FileHeader,FileDetail,FileTrailer

FileHeader.fieldSeparator |

FileHeader.endSeparator |'nl'

FileDetail.fieldSeparator |

FileDetail.endSeparator |'nl'

FileTrailer.fieldSeparator |

FileTrailer.endSeparator |

and my MT structure is

MT_ProductMaster 1.1

FileHeader 0...1

FileDetail 0....unbounded

FileTrailer 0...1

Please help me on how to ignore the empty root node... do i need to handle something else???

Hey

Please have a look at question number 31 of SAP Note 821267

Thanks

Hi Aamir,

Yes as per that node you are right, if it has the payload with only root node then it i will not treat as an empty payload and writes an empty file to the target...

But i need the empty file to be generated in the target with 0 bytes.... But for me it is throwing an error saying an Unknown structure...

the root node i am getting is this for empty payload...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns0:MT_ProductMaster xmlns:ns0="http://xyz/Ix_ProductMaster/WMS"></ns0:MT_ProductMaster>

And as per this we should get an empty file with 0 bytes... but its not happening, throwing an error...

am missing in the Content conversion anything? (CConversion parameters i have given in the above raply...)

Please suggest me where i am missing..

Regards,

Sridhar

Hey

Record setStructure FileHeader,FileDetail,FileTrailer
FileHeader.fieldSeparator |
FileHeader.endSeparator |'nl'
FileDetail.fieldSeparator |
FileDetail.endSeparator |'nl'
FileTrailer.fieldSeparator |
FileTrailer.endSeparator |

and my MT structure is
MT_ProductMaster 1.1
FileHeader 0...1
FileDetail 0....unbounded
FileTrailer 0...1

of course you will get error in content conversion if file is missing any of the parameters expected by FCC.

Right now the Content conversion is expecting several values in your payload(even if blank values) but you don't have any of them hence you get this error.

If you want to deliver empty file,you need to map all the receiver side nodes to some default,so that it is populated to that default (could be blank) if no values are present,then when this comes to content conversion,it will assume the blank value as node and do correct conversion.

If you dont have values in payload but have specified parameters for it on content conversion,then you will get errors as you mentioned in your first post.

Thanks

Hi Sridhar,

Can you tell us what is the CONDITION that you are referring to?

Is there some condition in your UDF ?

And what is the purpose of using Dynamic Configuration in your case?

Do you want Dynamic File Name or Dynamic Directory?

instead of variable substitution use dynamic configuration - /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/03/26/dynamic-configuration-vs-variable-substitution--the-ultimate-battle-for-the-file-name

Hi Shabarish,

The error i am getting when i am using the Dynamic variable configuration itself...

This error occurs only if there is no data...

And when i checked the mapping by copying the generated payload, then the target payload has only root node...

Did i missed any Content conversion Steps?

Please can you check the structure i have given in the first reply....

Sridhar
