a)StructXML2Plainforsimpleconversion
b)SimpleXML2Plainforcomplexconversion
For both sender and receiver channel, we can choose either simple or complex transformation. In simple
transformationallrowsoftheinputfilehavethesamestructure.Ifeachrowoftheinputfilehasadifferentstructure,
then it is referred to as complex transformation. All transformations can handle CharacterSeparatedValue (CSV)
structuresandstructureswithfixedfieldlength.

IntheaboveReceiverFileAdapter,ThePlain2XMLmodulefortheMessageTransformationBeanhaslistof
parameter names as Transform.class has the value as Converison and Transform.contentType has the value

In above sender File adapter, validate module for the XiHeaderValidationBean has the list of parameter
names as SenderService, Interface, InterfaceNamespace and ReceiverService has corresponding Values of
sender and receiver Business component and sender interface and sender interface namespace that should be
validated by Adapter Engine. This SAP help Documentation will give the clear picture about the usage of
XiHeaderValidationBean.
