[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm]
But i have a problem.
In the scenario which we have, File name is DYNAMICALLY GENERATED by a UDF
I want to call the file at run time after message processing via Command Line and execute some os commands.
But since the file name is Dynamic....How will i call the file at run time in Command Line:
SYNTAX: %f(FileName)
How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Actually i have another doubt now
In REVEIVER FILE ADAPTER:
when we give Run Operating system Command After Message processing

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).

there was a blog obout this titled "XI as a huge file mover"
and you can see a description and my scripts at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/profile/2007/05/03/additionaltipsforusingXIasahugefiletransfer%28withbatchscripts%29&

Is it possible to call operating system command after file receive?

Hi expert,
I'm trying to call operating system command after file receive comm.channel receive a txt file.
operating system command uses txt file name as parameter.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be possible, actually we have two options that are
1.RUN OS command before message processing
2.RUN OS command after message processing.
So you can give the commands in the RUN OS command after message processing.

Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
Just check the following URL and give it a try again :-

Run Operating System Commands

Hi,
There is an urgent requirement, i want to know about Run Operating System Commands in file adapter. What are all possible commands for windows operating system? and how it works? Kindly send me your suggestions and links at the earliest.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sadhna.

Hi,
Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing
●      Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after the message processing of a file that was found in a run. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
●        %f (file name)
●        %F(absolute file name including path)
●      Timeout (secs)
This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executing program continues to run in the background.
●      Terminate Program After Timeout
Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program when the timeout is exceeded.
The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.

Phani

Operating System Command After File Processing in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
actually we have different interfaces, and the client to take all the files from only one directory, for example D:/DPI.
Unitl now we had one adapter for every file with the content conversion, so we didn't have problems with that. Now we have the problem that we sould maintain an order processing files.
We thougth that an idea could be to execute one file pointing to D:/DPI and at the Operating System Command put like: copy D:/DPI/file.txt D:/DPI/outbound/file.txt, so when file is executed, we move the next file to another directory where is pointing the adapter. Doing this we have an error on the adapter giving us the message: Could not process due to error: java.lang.NullPointerException
We are using a Windows.
There is anyway to do in our way, or there is a better solution to resolve this problem?
Any other idea to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Helo Guys,
maybe I haven't explained well.
We have one directory with different files. We have one adapter for every file( we need for the content conversion ) using NFS and all the adapters are pointing to the same directory.
The problem is that if we have files A.txt, B.txt and C.txt we need to process in an order.
And the problem we see is that for every file we have one adapter, so for example if we process file A.txt with one adapter, when this part is finished, we want to process file B.txt with another adapter, and the same for the rest of the files.
So the idea we had is to create another directories, and when A.txt has finished move file B.txt to another directory.
However this way is not running, if we log on the PI machine and execute cmd, we can do a copy of one file from one directory to another, but when we put this sentence in the adapter in OS command if we see the adapter log we see an error executing the OS command, but we don't know what is the error, there is no more information.
There is any way to do this or maybe we have to manage in a different way?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Regarding Run operating system command

Hi experts,
I have a requirement of creating an empty file onto the same folder where my reciever file adapter writes the result file. Is it possible in case of FTP as well or is just supported for NFS?
Regards,
Amol

Hi Amol,
I have no experience with scripts. But if my understanding is correct, you can achieve this. The script file to be called should be placed in your XI server. The script file will have commands to do the FTP and create file in the remote FTP server. Although I have never worked on scripts to be 100% sure. May be a person familar with scripts can give the cirrect info.

External command is not working in File Receiver Adapter

Hi,
   I have tried to copy the file which is mentioned in my File Adapter (Receiver) to 3 different folders thru OS command. The purpose is to save time. I have created one CC for Source(File) and one CC for target(File). After the target file is created, I want to copy this file in 3 folders. For this I have written one batch file in my system.
File Name: copy1.bat
@ECHO OFF
COPY %1 C:\TEST1\arch_t1
COPY %1 C:\TEST2\arch_t2
COPY %1 C:\TEST3\arch_t3
DEL %1
The command which I entered in the Receiver CC (File Adatper is)
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: C:\FILES\copy1.bat %F %f
Timeout(secs): 60
Terminate Program After Timeout - Check box is selected.
But, this external command is not working. (because the target files are not created in those directories C:\TEST1, C:\TEST2, C:\TEST3)
   I did this scenario by refering the Michael'w weblog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
   In this blog, he has also given how to troubleshoot external command. I tried this also. It is not working.
    I use Windows XP OS. XI 3.0 SP 18.
   Friends, Could you kindly tell why this external command is not working? What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi, Jeg.
As the note says, please check the java Runtime.exec behavior
with the proper user.
If in doubt, check if the command can be successfully run through
the Java Runtime.exec(...) API. Also note that the command is run
as user "<sid>adm" (Unix) / "SAPService<SID>" (Windows).
So, Could you check the following(very dirty one!) Java in your
XI server and check if it works? For simulating %F, create a test
file C:\FILES\test.txt whatever the content is.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExecJava {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process proc = rt.exec("C:/FILES/copy1.bat C:
FILES
test.txt");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
Good Luck.

Unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command

Using XI 3.0, I am unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command After Message Processing.
My Batch file:
gpg -se -r BOA3RSKY --armor --passphrase-fd 0 %1 < C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\gpgin
My Command Line (ID scenario)
exec "cmd.exe /c C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat %F"
If I execute
exec "cmd.exe /c type C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat >xis.txt"
It displays the contents of boagpg.bat file in xis.txt.
I just don't understand why when I run the batch file, I would expect an %F.asc encrypted file in the same directory as the %F unencrypted file.
Any ideas?
or will I need Basis to create commands that will allow me to run GPG from XI Command Line?

Check if file exists in file receiver adapter

hello,
we have following scenario -> proxy to file
before appending to the file, it should be copied/renamed to a "tmp" file
xi should then append to that tmp file and copy/rename the file back to the normal name
I tried it with "Run operating system command before message processing" but
it's not working
anybody has an example on how to use those settings before/after message processing ?
regards,
michel

Hi Michel,
little confused,
1) before message processing do there any file exists?
2) why should we change file name to 'tmp' and append data to that and again rename that file ?
con't we directly proceed in append mode with file name?
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands then
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt & mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
        or
      cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
      mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Include all ur command in one file and call that file in the OS parameter

Problem with zip operating system command

Hello,
i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
Directory: /tmp/
File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
Variable substitution:
Variable Name: name Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
Run Operating system command:
/usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Sriram,
Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
Regards,
Luis
