Flat File Conversion Error: Unable to initialize communication channel

[Former Member]

Dear experts.

I have a file to flat file scenario. I just wanted to test this first because it's the first time. I followed this blog: /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/02/file-receiver-with-content-conversion

I get this message: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages. I looked around on the forum and in other blogs, and it seems something is wrong with my Content Conversion Parameters. Could you please advise?

The message is a small customer test message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="urn://xi/csr/customer">

<Customer_File>

<Customer>

<Name>xxx</Name>

<Last>xxxxxxxx</Last>

</Customer>

</Customer_File>

</ns0:MT_TEST>

The parameters I am using are:

Recordset structure: Customer_File,Customer

Customer.addHeaderLine: 0

Customer.fieldSeparator: #

Customer_File.fieldSeparator: 'nl'

Customer.endSeparator: 'nl'

The mapping I am using is one-to-one.

This is not working for me...

Furthermore, I would like to set the Name and Last tag to set field lengths. Is this possible for these tags??

Thanks in advance.

add the parameter

Customer_File.endSeparator: 'nl'

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for your reply, this works.

I would also like the tags Name and Last to be of fixed length, without a separator. Can I just add these parameters?? Is this possible on these values?

Cheers!

Hi Manas,

I fixed the fixed field lengths issue with the following parameter:

Customer.fieldFixedLengths: 10,20
