Does sender file adapter loose files/ miss them??

HI All,
I am in a file to IDOC scenario.
Xi is picking files from a network folder and creating each file into a single IDOC and sends to R/3.
All seems fine when we do testing for 1 file at a time
However I realised that if more than 20 or 40+ files come into this folder at once, it does pick all of them and processes them but somehow it randomly at-times misses to create an IDOC for a single file.
There are no system-errors. RWB is clean. SXI_MONITOR is clean. No errors. Just that system has randomly not created an idoc for a single file. It has created for rest all...just one is missed out sometime.
Has anyone faced this before. Any hints what could be wrong.
Regards
Shirin

Hi Shirin!
I had very, very long CSN discussions with SAP XI/PI Support on that issue. SAP very long said this is "feature not bug". But in the end even SAP recognized that this is maybe "bug not feature" and for XI 3.0 in one of the recent support packages this issue is fixed in that way, that the Adapter now reports an error when getting and archiving/deleting files without processing them further.
I'm not sure about the concrete SP number ... just apply the latest SPs if possible.
Another workaround is to write a report checking on file system level whether all incoming files have really been processed. For a customer I solved it as follows: Incoming files are archived in directory xyz and after processing the file in XI it is finally also stored in directory abc. Then I wrote an ABAP report in XI/PI comparing the contents of these two directories xyz and abc and reporting any differences (optionally as alert or email or just list output). Simple but efficient.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Please let me know where i am going wrong.
Thanks,

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm]

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender RFC Adapter-- XI-- File Receiver Adapter ?

Dear Expert,
we are on PI 7.0 & R/3 system 4.7E WAS < 6.20. We have a scenario where in there are some huge downloads are required from R/3 to FTP File Location. For such scenarios Normally Poxy is suggested but Due to WAs Version limitation we cannot use Proxy. The other alternative is to use SENDER RFc adapter using RFC destination with XI. we have configured the RFC destination it is working fine.
I am able to receive the message also in XI. But whenever i am running this RFC in R/3 it is giving me the shot dump as follows. :
call to messaging system failed: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException:
The File is also getting written to the destination properly. But in XI also i get the following error.
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">

<SAP:Stack>Interface mapping http://Test/Zbilldwd ZBILLDWD_FILE_IM does not exist in runtime cache</SAP:Stack>

</SAP:Error>
What could be the reason of this.? As well i am geting 3 error messages in XI.
I have defined this interface as Inbound / Async Message interface with input message as output file structure. ( Is this configuration is OKAY ?)
pl. help me to solve this error.
Regards,
Umesh

HI,
Check your configuration from the message it states that it can not find out the mapping program.
Check the configuration Receiver and interface determination whether you are using the same which is designed in repository.

MessageTransformBean in sender JMS Adapter flat file to xml conversion

Hi All,
The scenario is MQ (Flat File ) --->PI -
>Idoc
The flat file structure is
112233
AABBCC
The expected XML Structure after using MessageTransformBean in the sender JMS adapter is
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
But I am getting 2 SEPARATE xml messages each with only one Row in it like the following
1st XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
2nd XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
I would like to have one xml message with all rows in it.It seems the MessageTransformBean is not recognizing the end of line in the flat file.Do i need to use endSeparator explicitly.
I followed the "How to use Content Conversion in JMS Adapter " and configured the adapter,still no luck..
Any Help greatly Appreciated
Thanks,
C

Hi Chirag,
The parameter name sequence changes alphabetically by itself when I save and activate it eventhough I enter as it is in the document.How to stop changing this sequence or put it the order as required in the Module Processor.
Currently my sequence is
Transform.Class
Transform.ContentType
xml.conversionType
xml.documentName
xml.documentNamespace
xml.fieldFixedLengths
xml.fieldNames
xml.processFieldNames
xml.structureTitle
Let me know how to change the sequence ,if that is the issue.
Thanks,
C

XI 3.0 File Adapter: Converting File Content in Sender Adapter

Hi,
This is probably a basic question but does anyone have an example of the parameters used when you are using the 'Converting File Content' option on the File Adapter ?
Also, where do the record sets have to be defined ? Are these data types in the Integration Builder ?
The documentation is to say the least a bit flaky.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Colin.

Hello,
I'm wondering if someone has experience setting up conversion for different record structures. The example shown (in a greate way) only picture one kind of structure.
How should it be done if the file would contain
10Mat1
20100PCS
The first record structure has columns
ID(2),Material(10)
The second redcord structure has columns
ID(2),Quantity(3), Unit of messure (3)

Sender File Adapter: Flat file content conversion to "multileveled" XML

Hi all,
I would like to do following conversion with file adapter:
- Input flat file schema:
A...
B,,,
C:::
- Desired XML form:
<mesage>
<A>
 
 <C>:::</C>
 
</A>
</message
>
All found examples (internet or XI documentation) do offer only "flat" XML option:
<mesage>
<A>...</A>
,,,
<C>:::</C>
</message>
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanx and regards

ralf

sorry but the message tags will not be add dynamically
i have change an existing message mapping 1:1 with file content conversion
into a multimapping.
by changing into multimapping the message was surrounded with
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
 <ns0:Message1>.......
no changing in File Adapter an in the IE there was an error
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException geworfen: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~.
if i added the stuct
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
 <ns0:Message1>.......
by hand and it works???
so i think i had to add
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge">
 <ns0:Message1>.......
to the file content conversion but i don't know how to do it???

File adapter(write files with same extension as we read them)

Hello
I am trying to read file as an attachment using file adapter (it can be of any extension .pdf,.txt,.xml)
I want to write this file using file adapter with the same extension i.e. whatever is read as it is....I am least bothered for reading the content inside the file so am reading it as an attachment..
Please if anyone knows the answer..reply....

I ran into a similar issue. As a workaround we ended up just using java to write the files out. When the File Adapter attempts to write out a file it first writes that file to a temp file and then copies that to the appropriate directory.
I believe that when two or more threads were attempting to write at the same time the write was failing for one (but appearing to work in the console logs). I think a race condition may be created when two threads attempt to write using the File Adapter for access to the temp file. I contacted my oracle rep about it but they are always pretty worthless so I havent ever heard anything back concerning the issue.

Does Sender Mail Adapter support "PayloadZipBean" module

Hi everyone,
I have a scenario where, I get the email with an zip file as an attachment and I need to extract this file and send across. There is no mapping transformation done here, only I need to forward the attached file to the file server.
Zip file always contains 1 file and is a text file.
so Its an Email to File Scenario.
Can I send the zip file as it is without unzipping i.e., send the attachment as iit is to the file server?
If I want to unzip the file, does the module "PayloadZipBean" support in case of sender mail adapter. ?
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Use "PayloadZipBean " Module at Receiver Communication Channel in the Module Tab Set the "Module Key.mode = unzip"
and Receiver communication Channel file should be "FileName.txt".

Receiver File Adapter with File content Conversion

I have a requirement to send 2 different files to the target directory. Source is the same and different mapping for the 2 files.
This I can achieve through multi-mapping but there is a problem. How can I use the File content for receiver File adapter which is using Multimapping.
The structure of the 2 files also different.

Why would you need FCC on receiver file adapter? If you need different files to be generated from the source, you could create two receiver channels with different mappings and just add them to the same Receiver Detemination. Isn't feasible?

File Adapter: Flat-file to XML

New to the Oracle ESB.
I am using the file adapter to read in a fixed-length flat file, have mapped it to an xsd and now I just want to dump the resulting xml into a directory. I don't see an obvious way to do this without converting it back to a flat file (by pointing the file writer back to a similar flat file xsd). Missing something obvious?
Thank you!

File adapter - archiving files after successful processing & errors

Hi All
In sender file adapter, I understand that we can archive files after processing them.
After successful processing, we can archive the file, and if there are any errors, we can archive the file in a different folder (all files resulting in errors during processing are archived in a seperate folder).
Now, see this scenario.
My file is successfully picked up, processed and posted to receiving sap system thru proxy.
But, if there is any application specific error (ex: duplicate id), because of which this data cannot be processed in the receiving system, how can i move the file which is archived in successful messages folder to the folder where we archive error messages?
Is it possible?
This is required because, when there are these kind of errors with incorrect data, we want the corresponding file to be archived in the folder where erred files are archived.
Please let me know how we can achieve this.
Many Thanks
Chandra

in file sender CC, thr is option to archive and error file store also..
1)under processing mode - archive.. give the path thr..
2) To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, select Archive Faulty Source Files
