Hi Abhinav,

Here is the purpose for opting either simple or complex transformation in MTC.

For both sender and receiver channel, you can choose either simple or complex transformation. In simple transformation all rows of the input file have the same structure. If each row of the input file has a different structure, then it is referred to as complex transformation.

All transformations can handle Character-Separated-Value (CSV) structures and structures with fixed field length.

Go through above links provided by Adarsh .As per your requirement you need to use the parameters as explained in documentation.

Regards

Venkat

Hi,

You can refer to below links to learn about message transform bean:

The parameters are somewhat similar to FCC in file channel. This bean can be used to convert a flat file structure into XML & vice versa eg csv file which has values separated by commas 10,12,28  to an XML format which can be used for mapping.
