Document namespace: name space of message type

Recordset name:Parent node name

Hi,

If you are getting a file in an xml form then you don't have to do content conversion. As SAP internally works with XML structure.

In case we have a file which is in a .txt or any other file where the structure of the file needs to be defined for SAP XI, we use FCC. This helps SAP XI to create XML format and then map it to your MT for mapping.

You can refer to these weblogs and links.
