Flat Idoc to Idoc XML conversion error.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using PI 7.1 EHP1, Where in we would like to see the capabilty of User-Module for Conversion of IDoc Messages Between Flat and XML Formats. Gone thru the below blog and maintained the necessary NWA configurations:

While testing phase, The file is not been picked by the Sender File Adapter and the below error is been displayed in RWB:

"MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocParseException: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid character encountered in XML input data source: state=INITIAL, charPosition=0, lineNumber=1, columnNumber=1, invalidChar=U+0045, sourceSnippet=...EDI_DC40 510000000002889077846C 3012 SHPMNT05 ZSHPMNT9 S... ^"

Any Clues?

Thnx

Hi Ramani,

Would you please let us know the solution you applied to get over the java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 error?

Thanks,

It seems that you use the module for XML -> flat.

Could you check this?

Hi Ramani,

it seems its a data problem, check once file you have placed.

I hope you have placed correct flat file in as source.

If you see similar error problem written below of blog i hope you are not using same data mentioned in blog.

Regards,

Vikrant

Bill uses an XML as source. When you use a flat file and want to create an XMl, you have to use the other module.

[vkaushik82]

your are converting Flat to XML rite.

you need to make some changes as bill is showing XML to flat in example.

Did you configured as part 2 of blog where it shown flat to XML

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the quick reply, changed the User module to Flat file module "SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor"

But now getting the below error:

MP: exception caught with message Mandatory parameters are not set for Idoc Receiver Module

Thanx

> MP: exception caught with message Mandatory parameters are not set for Idoc Receiver Module

I think this is self-explaining.

Hi Stefan,

You are right i have maintained the mandatory parameters (SAPRelease, SourceJRA, TargetDestination) within the sender File adapter module key parameters.

Now getting another error within Comm Channel Monitoring:

MP: exception caught with cause java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

Any Clues?

Thnx

Hi Thota,

It seems there are some invalid characters in the file. Can you please check that once. Since you said you got this error in testing do you mean you are testing in QA, if yes then you may need to do the configuration as mentioned by Bill in QA system also.
