Bypassing a node in Content Conversion

[Former Member]

Searched to no avail.

I have a node in my Idoc that I do not want to be passed to the outputfile in the output file.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

If you want to use the node for some processing but do not want it to be displayed in the output, use Recordset.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = CUT.

You can do this in your message mapping. do not map the source field / nore to any of the field in the target.

Hi,

Use CUT Parameter Option in the content conversion.

Or you need to go with Mapping.

There are two elements in the last segment (the one I am cutting) and they are not written to the file. However, I do get an extra 'nl' character so it appears to have a blank like at the end of the file.

Hi,

If you use CUT in the FCC then there will be a blank line created.

Hi Mark,

Since the mapping will be performed before it reaches the receiver adapter and since you are dealing with an IDoc, if you don't map the source node to the target side(assuming its not a mandatory node), it will not be created altogether.

Bhavesh has already suggested this, any specific reason for not trying it out?

Hi Sushumna,

I need the data to be able to build the file name so I have to map it to the outbound message. I use the data if the file CC.

Otherwise it wouldn't be a problem.

Hi Vijaya,

How do I get rid of the blank line?

Hi,

AFAIK you cannot remove the blank line. But please just check the forum if anyone lese was able to do so as this Q has come up a lot of time.

The other alternative is not to map to target structure what you don't need as previously responded in the query.
