Error in StrictXml2PlainBean (XML to Text Conversion)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to convert the XML to Plain file in receiver file adapter. I am using module - StrictXml2PlainBean.

Below is my target structure

B2B_HEADER (1..1) Level1

SHIPMENT_HEADER(1...1) Level1

SHIPMENT_CUSTOMER (1..Unbounded) Level1

CARTON_HEADER (1..Unbounded) Level2 Child node of Shipment_customer

CARTON_DETAIL (1..Unbounded) Level3 Child node of Carton_header

I have mention below parameters in module tab,

B2B_Header.endSeparator \n

B2B_Header.fieldLengthExceeded cut

B2B_Header.fieldLengths 8,8,8,16,15,14,5,38,14,66,8

Carton_Detail.endSeparator \n

Carton_Detail.fieldLengthExceeded cut

Carton_Detail.fieldLengths 6,14,4,10,14,10,35,10,6

Carton_Header.endSeparator \n

Carton_Header.fieldLengthExceeded cut

Carton_Header.fieldLengths 6,20,20,12,2,7,2

Shipment_Customer.endSeparator \n

Shipment_Customer.fieldLengthExceeded cut

Shipment_Customer.fieldLengths 6,8,10,40,40,40,40,40,10,2,15,40,1

Shipment_Header.endSeparator \n

Shipment_Header.fieldLengthExceeded cut

Shipment_Header.fieldLengths 6,20,4,20,35,30,10,30,3,3,35,35,30,10,30,3,30,10,30,30,9,10,3,30,6,12,14,3

recordTypes B2B_Header,Shipment_Header,Shipment_Customer,Carton_Header,Carton_Detail

I have getting below error in communicatipon channel monitoring...

*Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.app.modules.conversion.xml2plain.ConversionException: The element nesting level for the structure Shipment_Customer is too deep (reference: 3 levels, found: 4 levels) at XML element CreateAndAcknowledgePickPackShipmentGIS_Async_V01,Shipment_Customer,Carton_Header,RecordIndicator

*

RecordIndicator is a field in Carton_Header. Am i missing something in the configuration?

Regards

Amol

Used multimapping in PI to achieve deep level hierarchical structure conversion.

Hi Amol,

You XML structure contains deep levels. As far as i understand about the StrictXML2PlainBean module, this is not capable of handling deep structures.

This module is just an alternative to use FCC type functionality for other receiver adapters.

Please take a look at these links:

https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/EN/44/748d595dab6fb5e10000000a155369/content.htm

In case you want to achieve nested level content conversion, you may try this:

I hope this helps.

Thanks Gaurav,

I have seen the blog but I wanted to negelect the mapping stuff done to create the multiple heirarichal structure rather I was looking for some standard process to achieve this...

There is one more module 'localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean', Has anyone worked on this?

Hi Amol,

Neither the MessageTransformBean nor the StrictXML2PlainBean is capable of handling deep structures.

Hello,

Please check the below mentioned link related to MessageTransformation Bean:

You can also try using custom Adapter module to convert the XML file.
