hi,

When we go with a file adapter, we do content conversion only when that file is a non xml. Because XI can understand xml structure. So we have to convert the input file to xml by using content conversion parameters.

There are different file types. flat file, csv, tab separated files etc. What ever may be the file type, we do content conversion depending upon the requirement.

If out file is a flat file we give field fixed lengths.

For csv file or tab separated file, we give field separator

The file structure is a customer specific.

for other details of file structures follow the below link:

XML structure

****************

<employee>

<empno>xxx</empno>

<empname>yyy</empname>

</employee>

CSV structure

****************

XXX,YYY

Tab separated value

***********************

XXX YYY

Text file(fieldFixedlength)

*****************************

XXXYYYY

other than XML file we should go for FCC for text file inorder to separate the fields.
