Hi,

It can replace Content Conversion of the File Adapter , if needed.

Conversion Agent is a tool that allows you to build XML from PDF's,. TXT and excel files, mappings for EDI etc. So, if your file is a .TXT file, then you can develop the mapping using Conversion aganet to convert the .txt file and then call the corresponding COnversion Agent Module from your file adapter.

If you can handle Content Conversion using FIle adapter, you should use the same, but, if needed you can always use the Itemfild Conversion Agent to do the same. The only catch here with Conversion Agent is that it has its licensing overheads and it runs on a separate engine and so perfrormance when compared to file content conversion can be a bit poor but not lots.

HI,

SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.

Conversion Agent comprises the Conversion Agent Studio and the Conversion Agent Engine. In the Conversion Agent Studio you can develop and configure data conversions. The Conversion Agent Engine then executes the data conversions
