content conversion is used to convert your file in CSV format to XML, content conversion will decide how your XML should be look like when itis entering the XI.

Processing mode:

This mode determines what you want to do with the input file which XI it is error free, in simple words if the configuration of contecnt conversion paramters is matching the inout file then modular processor in the AE sends the respose to sender that the file and content paramters are fine, so next processing mode will execute, this processing mode might delete the input file from folder or arcive or just keeps in same place.

Hi keethi,

Suppose two or more systems communicate with each other through XI by exchanging files. But it is not true that always the systems talk in same format meaning exchanging the files of same format.

Suppose system A sends employee data as

<employee>

<name>xyz</name>

<lname>abc</lname>

<ID>123</ID>

</employee>

But system B can read only if the data is given like this

xyz,abc,123

In such situations we need content conversion where we are converting one given file format to another file format using XI with File Content Conversion Parameters

More over you can try the examples from the following blogs

But it is better to check SAP help for this first-
