File Port Not Picking Up File

Hello All,
I'm trying to get a file sent from an external system to SAP. I created a file port. The inbound tab of the port has the full path of where the file will be after it's sent from the external system. The external system is a PC server and is sending the file to the folder no problem. However, the SAP file port is not picking up the file. This is an IDOC file I'm trying to send to SAP. In the file port I click "test connection" and I get a positive result showing "access is possible".
I went into WE16 to manually bring the file in. I use the full path as in the file port plus the file name. I also enter the port name and try to execute. An error comes back saying "error opening file".
In WE16 I use...
<pc server>\directory\filename
Any help as to why I can't get the file through the port or manually in WE16 would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

  • Sender File adapter not picking the file ABCD.PRN extension file

    Hi
    Am doing File to Abap Proxy scenario. My source will be in text format of fixed length of fileds 7.
    My souce file will be generated by a third party machine with the extension EEE150809.PRN. In my scenario my file adapter should pick the file and update the same in ECC via a Proxy.
    I have configured the Sender File adapter with Message Protocol -  Content Conversion but file adapter is not picking the file. I have checked the Communication channel and status is fine. But the same Communication Channel works for .XML file.
    What are the parameters that I have to consider with the file extension .PRN using File adapter?
    Thanks.
    S.

    Hi Swarna,
    You dont need to worry about the extension when picking the file. You can try using EEE* so that is picks all the files starting with EEE. If you have the fixed name then you can try giving EEE150809.*. Also EEE150809.PRN should not have any issue. Try to see in sender commu ication cahnnel for anyerrors. Probably there might be some network issues or authorisation issues. If you are reading with NFS then ask them to give necessary permissions. If you are reading through FTP check the user id and pwd you are using.

  • File Adapetr: File is not picking from File directory

    Hello,
    Issue: we are facing issue with file sender adapter like file is not picking from source file directory.
    Scenario: FTP1>PI>FTP2
    1. SAP PI sender communication channel will pick the file from FTP1 and process to PI file server (NFS)
    2. from PI file server (NFS), file will process again to FTP2
    So while picking the file, it shows following error:
    Could not process due to error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error during RETR epilogue: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 451 Transfer aborted. Broken pipe
    Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
    Processing started
    this issue occur after we migrate the PI server from hpunix to aixunix.
    Best Regards,SARAN

    Hi,
    check the FCC parameters, fieldfixedlength option would be used when the exact length of field is constant in the Sender, In the FCC the fieldfixedlength parameter carries the length of the each.
    Check out Michal's blog on content conversion for all your doubts :The specified item was not found.
    Kindly check the below links for further assistance.

  • File Adapter not picking the file

    Hi Experts,
      I am trying to create a Legacy-XI-R/3 scenario. I am using a file adapter as the sender communication channel and a ABAP proxy at the receiver end. I have given the path of my input file in the legacy system, but the file is not picked up by the adapter. Can any one tell me where I might have gone wrong?

    Hi,
       Just want to add one more suggestion.
    Check the Host name, where the File is kept and try to use the directory path as
    <HostName>\<DirName>.
    Hope this help.

  • File Adapter Not picking the files

    Hi All,
    We have a process wherein the file adapter picks up the file from a particular location and it processed thereafter. We get the files once every month. We noticed that if the files that are being dazzled are of the same, i.e if the same nomenclature is there for the file that was dazzled the previous month, the adapter does not pick up the file. Only after renaming the file, it picks the file and processed them.
    Any idea why the files that are dazzled with the same name are not being picked up.
    Thanks in Advance...!!

    Hi,
    While configuring file adapter to pick up the files cross verify with file name putting in the directory location against the
    "Includes files with name pattern" "Excludes file with name pattern" file name..
    let say if u kept .*txt if picks the files txt with any name and one more think once after picking up the file from particular location are u enabling (delete file once read) option in configuration(It all depends on ur req)..
    cross check the schema element of the file pattern.

  • Sender File Adapter Not Picking Any File

    Dear Expert,
    I am newbie in PI. Just tried to create File Content Conversion Scenario. Details as follow :
    1. Source Directory ..\file\log\test_q.txt
    2. Target Directory  ..\file\log\xml\test_q.xml
    Transport Protocol : NFS
    Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
    Adapter Engine    : Integration Engine
    I have completed all the design and configuration in IR and ID. However, when I produce the log file in the directory, nothing happen.
    Hacing checked in the RWB as well, I could not find any clue. simply nothing happen.
    Would you please advise me on how to trigger the interface? As per my understanding, sender file adapter will be activated directly once the file is created.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Y

    Hi Yonisiwa,
       Things you should check here are:
    1) If the sender file adapter is active or not.
    2) If the source directory is correctly spelt or not. (Check if you are using the correct slash \ or /)
    3) The file name/mask is correct or not.
    4) The polling interval is too long.
    Alternatively, you can check the message monitoring in RWB at the adapter level and go into the audit log if the message.
    There you can see the reason for the file not being picked up.
    Also check the Communication Channel status in the Component Monitoring link in RWB.

  • Text File is not picking with data

    Hi Experts,
    I am doing file to file scenario without IR as file will be generated by the ECC system and places in SAP FTP App Server.
    My job is to pick up the file and send it to the Third Party Application Server.
    But when i am picking up the Text file the data in the file is converting into special characters like below format.
    ÅÁÄÅÙ@ððððððâÖÕÄÅçöôðð@@@@@@òððùð÷ñ÷ðñ%@@@@@@@@@@@@@@òððùð÷ñ÷%ÄÅãÁÉÓ@ðððð
    I have tested with other Application server with same file its working fine, but when i send the file from SAP FTP Appl server the data is converting in the above format.
    Right now when i open file zilla it is opening with 3 FTP Appl Server in that suppose lets say the FTP are APP1, APP2, APP3.
    1.When i send the file from APP1 through Transport Protocol NFS System the file is picking up and  placing successfully in the Third Party APP3 App Server fiolder but the data in the file is converting into special charaters.
    2.when i send the same file from APP2 through Transport Protocal FTP the file is picking up and placing successfully in the third party APP3 App server and here the same data is coming in the text file, there is no data conversion.
    I am not getting here, when i send the file from APP1 the data is converting but when i send the same file from APP2 App srever the data is posting correctly.
    And also i can give you one more info.. if i try with puting the Transport Protocal as FTP in APP1 then i am getting error in sender comm channel as 'log on attempt by User JOHN rejected' : contact your FTP server vendor.
    But i think for sending the file from SAP Appl Server we can use TP as NFS rather than FTP.
    And also i can give one more info: The Version is the ECC system is using the 4.6c for which there is no compatability for unicodes.
    Can anyone please advise what would be the wrong.
    Appreciate your inputs
    Thanks,
    Bhaskar

    Hi,
    Reason because file is not picked up.
    >'log on attempt by User JOHN rejected' : contact your FTP server vendor.
    clearly user/password for this FTP server or system is not correct. Get correct userid/password for your Application server where you are trying to poll.
    >The Version is the ECC system is using the 4.6c for which there is no compatability for unicodes
    File transfer is nothing to unicode here.

  • File Adapter as Sender not picking the files

    We configured the File Adapter as Sender, Transport Protocol =NSF and message protocol as FCC.
    In OS we have folder to read the file, but SAP XI unable to read the file.
    To trouble shoot this issue we copied that file into another location and reverted back to the same location then XI File adaptor is able to read the file.
    Now we have compared the Attributes of the path
    the only difference in file attributes
    Coded character set ID . . . . . . . . :   819      
    CCSID 819 (decimal)

    Notes Related CCSID with euro is 923           
    able to read the file attributes:

    Notes CCSID for this code page with euro is 5348
    We have tried to chage the File type as Text and File Encoding with ISO-8859-1even then its not picking the files.
    Please suggest me where i am doing wrong here
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Check the file path & file name , Check  the processing mode parameter which you have set?
    Check the folder properties & provide all the permission ...
    Finally check the communication channel status in RWB, If the problem persist try to stop & start the communication channel again..
    Hope it helps...

  • Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

    Hi Experts,
    We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters.  It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
    In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
    Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sridhar. M

    Sridhar,
    What do you have in the directory path?
    If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.

  • File is not picked up through NFS.

    hi guruz ,
    iam doing a simple file to file scenerio .
    sender file (.txt file tab delimeted) NFS  file adapter.
    reciver file (.txt file tab delimeted) NFS  file adapter.
    i putted the file in xi  server  c:\sender\file.txt.
    and for reciever i made c:\reciver.
    but the file is not picked up .
    i checked in (RWB).mssges showing sucess ,but no mssg id.
    pls guide me .
    warm regards

    Hi Pawan,
    As you are using Transport protocol as File System(NFS) in the comm channel you need to upload your local file in the XI server, just execute SE37 in your XI server then put the module name : ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER and execute it. there you give your local file path\name and the target server path(e.g /usr,/tmp etc.)
    after successfully executing you can see the uploaded file by going to AL11 transaction.
    in the sender comm channel give the server path where you uploaded the file as the source directory. activate.
    now start your sender comm channel in RWB.

  • File is not picking from the source location.

    Hi all,
    File is not picking from the source location. FTP is working properly and file is also placed in source location. I am new the XI, if anybody can give me the solution it would be really helpfull.
    Thanks to all.

    Hi Majin,
      Check the folder path properly, check the file name( file name is case sensitive) you have given correct or not. See that your communication channel is active. Also check the cache status and check adapter status also by that you will come to know wht is the problem.
    Thanks,
