file sender content conversion

[Former Member]

hello

I have a txt file sender content conversion in SAP PI.

I define in the content conversion 6 fields names(field1, field2, field3,field4,field5,field 6) but the fie that I am loading has only three field(field1,field2,field3). the file is still loading though there is a different in the structure between what I define in the PI to what is loading to the PI.

is there a way to send an error with out loading the file?

I read about the count function in the mapping. isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?

Thanks

You can use parameters:

NameA.missingLastfields error

NameA.additionalLastFields error

For some strange reason the default value in ignore, what does not really make sense.

If your root node is example details. If details contains node Header and Header has 6 fields...

Then Header.missingLastFields values ignore or add or error.

similarly Header.additionalLastFields values ignore or add or error.

Refer step 12 on this link.. You get more ideas.

If you define 6 fields and only 3 are present in the test file then you wont get an error (AFAIK)

However, if you define 3 fields and there are 6 present in the source file then you will get an error saying more number of parameters found.

isnt there a build in function that suppose to load only the structure that is define?

I dont think so....this may however be achieved using a custom adapter module.

Update:

Just remembered that SAP PI (7.1 and above) comes with inbuilt XML-validation function....check if that helps in your design.

Abhishek.
