Sender File Content Conversion Complexity

[Former Member]

It is again time to dip into the well of knowledge that is SDN.

I have a question about sender file content conversion.

It appears that I can only create simple XML structures with it, but I'm hoping someone here can help.

Lets says I have a file where each record layout is the same. There are not header records, trailer records, etc. Basically only one structure within the recordset.

However the record itself may have a complicated structure. For example, the layout of each record may be:

String1, String2, String3, Array(0:3) consisting of String4, String5, String6.

Can I convert that to a structure of

<Node>

<string1>

<string2>

<string3>

<array>

<string4>

<string5>

<string6>

<array>

<string4>

<string5>

<string6>

</Node>

Or must I create a DT containing one node giving string4,5 and 6 a unique name for each occurance?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can go with generic structure and then either in the adapter module or Mapping, you can format the structure. Because content conversion has a limitation to upto one level.

check this for limitation-

Hi,

do you have a various number of arrays? maybe you can post an example how the file looks:

S1,S2,S3,S4,S5,S6,S4,S5,S6,...

or

S1,S2,S3,S4#S5#S6,S4#S5#S6,...

or

...
