Any issues pulling files from external partners using PI File adapter?

I would like to know if there are any issues with pulling files directly from external partners using PI File adapter.
We are estimating 60 communication channels to pull files from the external vendors (25 vendors). Polling for these communication channels will be done for every 5 minutes. We have a load of around 500 files per day with peak size as 50MB and average file size as 2MB. We are currently using PI 7.0 SP12.
Did any one face any problems with respect to performance or any other issues?

The volume as described would be handled with no issues.
Memory tuning and threads tuning may be required - see this guide:

  • Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

    Hi all,
    Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
    I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
    From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...).  So all firewall issues and communications are fine
    Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
    FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
    Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
    No messages appear in the RWB
    Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
    Regards,
    Mike

    Thanks for your responses.
    I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
    Scenario 1
    When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>/Folder/Subfolder</b> the error message is as follows
    <b>EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    Scenario 2
    When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>Folder/Subfolder</b> a different error message is returned
    <b>Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
    Questions
    I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
    I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
    The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
    I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
    To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
    Has anyone experienced these issues?
    Please advise on next course of action?
    Regards,
    Mike

  • Reg : Issue for Sending of external email using SO_OBJECT_SEND

    There is one issue while sending external email using SO_OBJECT_SEND functional module.
    1. The body of the mail is also included as attachment.
    I want to avoid the same.
    Please anyone can give the solution.

    hi check this example ,
    Sending mail with attachment report in Background
    Content Author: Fernando Faian
    I have read the hint about "Sending mail with attachment report".
    It's great, but how can I make this function work in background??
    I had that needed last year too. See attachment a function group with two functions. The second one has that functionality to send email or fax (SAP office) with attachment objects in background job using SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT function. 
    Pay attention because it’s working with output list from spool converted to pdf.

  • Icloud mail still pulling emails from external account

    Hello,
    I am a former dotMac and MobileMe user.  I had set up the mail interface to pull emails from an external account.  After migrating to iCloud very early, emails are still being pulled, although this *should not happen*, because iCloud does not offer this service.  The problem is: how do I disable this behaviour?  There is no preference pane where I can set this.  It's quite astounding that my mail is basically being provided by uncontrolled services running on Apple servers, even if they should not be running. 
    Any suggestions?
    Regards

    Your complaint is different from the OP's - he wants to stop it and can't: you want it to work. I'm afraid it won't - the facility is not available in iCloud, though as we've seen a few people are finding it hanging over.
    You can still do one of two things perfectly easily: set up your other accounts separately in the Mail application; or set the other accounts to forward to your @me.address - most ISPs can provide this facility and it was always preferable anyway to collecting the email. It will arrive immediately, for one thing, rather than up to 15 minutes later.

  • Production issue - Sender File adapter not picking up the files from folder

    Hi Guys,
    Ever since the upgrade from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1, we have come acrossinstances of weird error.
    Thsi time again - now the 3rd time - tandom basis, in our production PI server, we have teh file slying in the source directory folder in the server.
    I can see the files lying there in AL11.
    However, it looks like that the file polling has just stopped and the channel is going blank in channel monitoring.
    I have checked in SXMB_MONI and there are no messages since the morning.
    I have tried craeting a replica of the current channel but it is not working.
    This is teh production server and thsi has alraedy created production issues.
    I ahve checked in the SDN forum but am not able to find the details.
    Plaese help me.
    I am anyway going to raise the issue with SAP now.

    Hi Prateek,
    I have trying all sorts since the morning and then just checked teh file permissions.
    The file permissions were incorrect as compared ot the other files that were processed successfully today.
    Somehow the permissions were changed on the server and the interface channel was not able to poll the files.
    I got teh permissions changed back to 666 and all the files were pikced up in a minute.
    I got the folder checked and it seems like that the permissions were changed somewhere very early in the morning and we are trying to find out how it happened and who did that.
    However, another question i had - this sender file adapter was polling the source directory and deleting the files from there.
    I would have expected that if the channel had issues with the file permission because of which it was not able to access the file, it would have thrown an error something like the file permissions error.
    But there was not a single error in the channel monitoring.
    How can we configure it in a beter way so that we at least soem kind of error indication?
    Please advice.

  • Regarding issue sender file adapter in clustered  environment(PI 7.0)

    Hi Experts,
    we  are using  sender  file adapter in clustered environment(there are 6 J2EE cluster nodes in XI system) for an interface.the  file sender communication channel  for this interface  is scheduled to run twice  every day. recently   the   channel stopped polling (picking the files from the source directory) and i dont see any error.
    when i open Communication Channel monitoring in RWB and select the file sender communication channel  and run it manually, none of the cluster nodes  are polling for the file.
    i have tried   editing the communication channel in Integration Directory   and  activating  it. but it does not pick the file.
    Can you let me know how  the issue can be resolved.
    Thanks

    Kausik,
    A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely so that in many respects they form a single computer. The components of a cluster are commonly, but not always, connected to each other through fast local area networks. Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and/or availability over that provided by a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or availability.
    clearly your cluster nodes are out of sync...!!!!
    It is possible that your ftp server went down for a while . And in the profile of FTP machine the entry of XI server is not made permanent .

  • Duplicate File Handling Issues - Sender File Adapter - SAP PO 7.31 - Single Stack

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to avoid processing of duplicate files. Our system is PI 7.31 Enh. Pack 1 SP 23. I tried using the 'Duplicate File Handling' feature in Sender File Adapter but things are not working out as expected. I processed same file again and again and PO is creating successful messages everytime rather than generating alerts/warnings or deactivating the channel.
    I went through the link  Michal's PI tips: Duplicate handling in file adapter - 7.31  . I have maintained similar setting but unable to get the functionality achieved. Is there anything I am missing or any setting that is required apart from the Duplicate file handling check box and a threshold count??
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Hello Sarvjeet,
    I'd to write a UDF in message mapping to identify duplicate files and throw an exception. In my case, I had to compare with the file load directory (source directory) with the archive directory to identify whether the new file is a duplicate or not. I'm not sure if this is the same case with you. See if below helps: (I used parameterized mapping to input the file locations in integration directory rather than hard-coding it in the mapping)
    AbstractTrace trace;
        trace = container.getTrace();
        double archiveFileSize = 0;
        double newFileSizeDouble = Double.parseDouble(newFileSize);
        String archiveFile = "";
        String archiveFileTrimmed = "";
        int var2 = 0;
        File directory = new File(directoryName);
        File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
        Arrays.sort(fList, Collections.reverseOrder());
        // Traversing through all the files
        for (File file : fList){   
            // If the directory element is a file
            if (file.isFile()){       
                            trace.addInfo("Filename: " + file.getName()+ ":: Archive File Time: "+ Long.toString(file.lastModified()));
                            archiveFile = file.getName();
                          archiveFileTrimmed = archiveFile.substring(20);       
                          archiveFileSize = file.length();
                            if (archiveFileTrimmed.equals(newFile) && archiveFileSize == newFileSizeDouble ) {
                                    var2 = var2 + 1;
                                    trace.addInfo("Duplicate File Found."+newFile);
                                    if (var2 == 2) {
                                            break;
                            else {
                                    continue;
        if (var2 == 2) {
            var2 = 0;

  • Connection with external System using AS2/SFTP adapter.

    Hi All,
    I need to use SFTP/AS2 to connect to an external Server which is not in our landscape.
    Can anybody could help whether i need to create a party on the Sender side as sender system is an external Server.
    I have gone through many docs but i am not clear when to use party and when not..?
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi Rahul
    Whether to use a party or not is both an architectural question as well as a development question.
    Architecturally, if an external server is not in your landscape and belongs to a different company/entity, your scenario would be a B2B process. You can refer to the below link for more details about B2B, but I've included a short snippet below too.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/c7a475da5e31ebe10000000a42189b/content.htm
    Using a communication party, you address a company that is involved in a B2B process.
    The (technical) name of the communication party (for example Bosch) is the identifier for the company within an Integration Directory. To be able to identify the company during any external communication using a globally unique ID, you specify alternative identifiers for a communication party. For external communication, the name of the communication party that is known internally is mapped to the ID. A particular identifier is specified in the communication channel (see below).
    In terms of development, not all adapters (FTP, SFTP, SOAP, etc) require the use of a party object when you develop a B2B integration scenario. There are companies which have implemented all B2B scenarios using those adapters in an A2A style (using just Business Systems.)
    As Harish has mentioned, if you use the Seeburger AS2 adapter, you will need the party object (AS2ID is configured there), but if you use the SFTP adapter, it is optional.
    For your case, I'd recommend going with Party to clear distinguish that it is a B2B process.

  • Read date from an email using sender mail adapter.

    Hi All,
    I am working on a scenario, which reads emails from mail box using POP3 protocol and Mail adapter. How to get the mail attributes like received date? I have to take some decisions based on that field.
    Also can we tell to move that mail to different folder in that mail box after successfully read? it is like archiving folder in that mail box.
    Regards,
    Hari

    Hi Hari,
    You use IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol) to retrieve e-mails from a folder of an e-mail server.
    You use POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) to retrieve e-mails from an e-mail server.
    AFAIK,  you have to use IMAP4 protocol for moving email to another folder are reading email successfully. And i don't think POP3 will allow this functionality.
    Regarding email date , If you maintain Message protocol as XIPAYLOAD you will receive all header details(Subject , TO ,FROM ,CC,DATE ,etc ) in your payload.
    Thanks
    Hari.

  • Issues with File Adapter

    Hi!
    I am working on File(source.csv)->Xi->File(Target.csv) Scenario.
    In my Source File i have 4 fields which are mapped to the target file which contains 2 additional fields with constant values mapped.   So, I should get 6 fields at receiver end.
    <b>Source structure</b>                      
    CharacterName                                 
    Lowerlimit                                                                               
    Upperlimit
    Targetvalue                                     
      <b> Target Structure</b>
    CharacterName 
    Lowerlimit
    Upperlimit
    Targetvalue
      Plant (constant value -1000)
      Status (Constant value - Released)  
    But, While using file adapter it showing only 4 fields of my Source file at the receiver end , not the ones which have been mapped with constant values(It is with out Using FCC) .
    When i  use FCC under File Adapter,  XI is not picking the file. These are the parameters I am defining at Sender Adapter:
    Document Name : file_rece( Not sure whether it should be similar as of my Msg Type name)
    RecordSet Name :Record (not sure abt naming conventions)
    Recordset Structure : main,1
    In parameters:
    main.fieldNames:CharacterName,Lowerlimit,Upperlimit ,Targetvalue
    main.fieldSeparator: ,
    main.endSeparator : 'nl'
    Receiving Adapter:
    Recordset Structure : main,1
    main.fieldSeparator :,
    main,endSeparator : 'nl'
    ---I gone through some previous posts but cant able to resolve it.

    " &amp#163; "
    Whether ISO-8859-1 supports all the special characters.or I need to use some other encoding.

  • How to move iTunes lib from external HD (used to be internal HD)?

    I hit an internal HD failure and didn't have iTunes or iPhoto backed up. Not fun, but no one to blame but me.
    I've had Apple replace the HD (320GB for Intel iMac), but I'm back at square one. I put the old HD in an external USB enclosure and can see the file system. Glimmer of hope!! For starters, I've copied as much as possible to a NAS box, but I get errors with some files.
    Here's the question(s).
    What's the best way to migrate the iTunes content from the external HD to the new internal drive?
    Here some details that may help:
    - I can see the "Music" folder on the old HD (4.5G, 2000 items)
    - I can also see "Library/iTunes" (450 MB, 19 items)
    - all music/content was setup for 1 user account
    - content is:
    imported CD's
    about a hundred or so songs purchased from iTunes store
    misc podcasts (no need to recover)
    playlists, etc.
    I would think the best thing would be to:
    1) fireup iTunes somehow to open the music on the external HD
    2) save/export all the music
    3) close iTunes, then re-open iTunes on the internal HD (currently with empty iTunes lib)
    4) import the library from step #2
    5) verify everything is ok
    6) reformat external drive & recycle it
    Even if it is possible, the steps above may fail if I hit a drive error. In that case, I'm guessing some sort of file based restoration may be needed.
    Any clues on what to do and in what order are appreciated.
    No need for extensive details on the instructions (but it is certainly appreciated). Once I know what to do (and in what order), I can search the support site for detailed instructions on the individual tasks.
    I'll probably use better protection once I've got this back together. Time machine is a leading candidate.
    Thank for any clues.
