In this article, we are going to learn about SAP PI/PO File Adapter.
If the target message (file) created by Message Mapping needs to be converted by the Receiver Adapter Communication Channel select the option ‘ File Content Conversion ‘. Usually, if the receiver file format is anything other than XML, you can use this feature to convert the file to an appropriate format such as CSV, Text, etc. XI - File Content Conversion. By Punit J, YASH PI Competency Team, Yash Technologies. Description: File Content Conversion is used to convert non-XML file (flat file) to XML file and vice-versa. In this blog, we will see how to convert flat file to XML file when file structure is bit complex. Categories SAP PI/PO Leave a comment Post navigation Sender IDocAAE Adapter Configuration in SAP PI/PO File Content Conversion with simple structure (Fixed Length File) in Sender File Adapter.
Some time we need to add the text line in the File content conversion. Let’s see the sample scenario. Consider the above txt file is the source file of xi. Now we fill the File content Conversion parameter such as Document name, Namespace, record set Structure, Key field name. Now we need to specify the FCC parameters. File Content Conversion Scenario. Input Message: This is the input message to the receiver file adapter sent from XI. Input XML message. Output Message: Fig3. Output CSV Message. SAP PI Interview Questions and SAP PI Tutorials SAP PI Interview Questions and SAP PI Tutorials.
First, we will understand the File adapter configuration for both sender and receiver. Then we will have a look at File Content Conversion (FCC) with simple and complex file structures.
File Adapter converts the incoming files into XML and vice versa. The File adapter resides on the J2EE stack of the PI server. It can read/write files directly from/to the PI server at the OS level using File System protocol. It also works using FTP protocol, using which it can read/write files from/to any server location. The configuration of File Adapter is quite simple and straightforward.
Sender File Adapter
Select the Transport protocol as FTP or NFS and Message Protocol as File. Specify the Directory and filename from where the source file needs to be picked up. File type can be either text (or XML) or binary. In the case of FTP protocol, you will need to provide FTP connection parameters as well. Below configuration for the File sender channel for NFS.
Below configuration for File sender channel for FTP
The adapter supports all the three QoS
*
*BE (Best Effort),
*EO (Exactly Once) and
*EOIO (Exactly Once in Order).
Specify QoS as per your scenario. Poll Interval indicates the time interval between two consecutive attempts by PI to read the files from the source directory. Processing mode defines how the file should be handled once it is processed by the adapter engine. The file will not get deleted If processing mode selected as “Test”. The File will get deleted if the processing mode is selected “Delete” after the processing. If you specify a queue name (in case of EOIO) it is automatically created in PI. You can also specify the empty file handling.
Receiver File Adapter
Select the Transport protocol as FTP or NFS and Message Protocol as File. Specify the directory and filename where the target file is to be put. The target directory if it does not exist gets created automatically. Specify connection parameters in the case of FTP protocol. You can specify the File Construction mode as per your choice. QoS possible here are EO and EOIO and is inherited from the Integration Server.
You can also Specify the “Add Timestamp” to append file create time to filename. Also, specify the way to handle an empty file.
To see an example of a file adapter using NFS protocol, go through this article about File to IDoc scenario.

This is a basic overview of content conversion using the file adapter.Scenario
This is a simple asynchronous File to File scenario. A flat file is deposited on a local FTP server; it’s read by a Communications Channel, converted to XML, mapped to an inbound XML document and sent back to the FTP serverFile Content Conversion In Sap Pi At Receiver System
I’m going to create two Data Types, two Messages Types , two Message Interfaces and a single Interface Mapping. The flat file is being read by a File Adapter so I’ll need to configure ’Content Conversion’ on the sender communications channel.Input/Output
The input file contains a list of employees and their previous employers as shown below. Please note that the first two rows are for reference only and won’t be included when testing.
The records are grouped by employee, the first record being the header. Each Header Record contains a key, employee number, first name, current employer and phone number. Subsequent rows contain detail records. The detail records hold the employee’s previous employers and company locations. The first character is the key field, ’H’ for header and ’D’ for detail. I’ve assumed that the records are presented in the correct sequence - one header record, an unlimited number of detail records, followed by another header record and so on.Design
1) The first data type will hold the outbound file (flat file) once it’s been received by PI. You need to be aware that the Sender Communications Channel ’Content Conversion’ configuration has references to elements within this XML document so they need to be an exact match.
The second data type will contain the inbound file. I’ve tidied it up a little, the ’key’ has been dropped and the prior employers sit underneath the employee record.
2) Create two Message Types.
Extreme violence mod sims 4. 3) Create an outbound asynchronous Message Interface that references the flat file Message Type and an inbound asynchronous Message Interface that references the XML Message Type.
4). Create a single Interface Mapping and a single Message Mapping. Map as required.Configuration
1) The following objects are required.
*Sender communications channel
*Sender Agreement
*Receiver Determination
*Interface Determination
*Receiver Agreement
*Receiver Communications Channel
I’m going to focus on the Sender Communication Channel as the rest of the configuration is straightforward. When creating the Communications Channel select ’File Content Conversion’ as the message protocol. Configure the File or FTP server details as required and click on the ’Content Conversion’ tab.
OK, now we can concentrate on the ’Content Conversion’ parameters which are shown below.File Content Conversion In Sap Pi At Receiver For Sale
Document..
*Name: The name of the XML structure receiving the document. This is will be the Outbound Message Type.
*Namespace: Namespace of the Outbound Message Type
*Offset: Number of lines to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
Recordset..
*Name: Name of the recordset structure.
*Namespace: Namespace to be appended to the document structure.
*Structure: The name of substructures within the outbound document followed by the number of times the substructures occur. * indicates an unknown number of substructures.
*Sequence: The help documentation is a confusing when describing sequence. I’ve left this as Ascending on the assumption that the data within the Outbound file is formatted correctly and appears in ascending order. If anyone can provide a detailed explanation of this parameter it would be appreciated.
*Per Message: Number of recordsets that should be included in the message. If this number is exceeded another message is created.
Key
*Field Name: Name of the key field within the file.
*Field Type: I left this as string and didn’t see any reason why it should be changed.
Now we can move on to the Recordset parameters. This is the where I tell PI how to locate the substructures, the elements contained within them and the field lengths. Each parameter is prefixed with the name of the element it refers to. All of this has to be typed in so double check everything before you activate the object. As you saw earlier I have two recordset substructures, Header and Detail. The parameters I used are shown below.
*FieldNames - These names correspond to the elements within the outbound XML.
*FieldFixedLengths - The length of each field. It is assumed that each field starts after the previous field.
*KeyFieldValue - The value contained within the key field. In this example the key values are ’H’ for header and ’D’ for detail.
*ProcessConfiguration - I’m not sure why I used this parameter or where I got it from. If anyone can provide some detail or a link to the appropriate help document it would be appreciated.
The following screen shot shows the relationship between the ’Content Conversion’ parameters and the input file.
For example the header row contains 5 elements. Key, EmpID, Name, Company and Phone. The key is indicated by ’H’ in column one and will be one character long. EmpID will be eight characters long and starts in column two and so on.
This is a small selection of the available recordset parameters. More detailed information can be found on SAP Help. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/frameset.htm

TestingFile Content Conversion In Sap Pi At Receiver Configuration
Now its just a case of putting the outbound file in the appropriate directory on your FTP server. Make sure the file has the correct filename. In my scenario the Sender Communications Channel checks for files every 60 seconds. Once the file has been read it’s archived to another directory. You won’t see any content conversion in SXMB_MONI so I assume this is done within the adapter (please correct if I’m wrong).What Is Sap Pi 7.0SummaryFile Content Conversion In Sap Pi At Receiver Free
This is a very simple way of importing flat files into PI. The only problems I encountered were with the ’Content Conversion’ parameters. With a little trial and error I managed to get it working. I’d advise getting yourself a decent text editor as this helped me when designing the content conversion.
