File Sender Adapter - Multiple Source Directory

Hi all,
I have the following file to IDoc Scenaraio:
The source file might be in any of 3 directories in source system and so created file sender adapter as follows:
File access parameters:
Source Directory : Directory1
File Name         : Filename*.XML
Addiontal Directory:
Directory2    Filename*.XML
Directory3    Filename*.XML
The porblem we are facing is the file adapter is picking the file from Directory1& 2 and not from Directory3.
If the change Directory Order in adapter as follows:
File access parameters:
Source Directory : Directory3
File Name         : Filename*.XML
Addiontal Directory:
Directory2    Filename*.XML
Directory1    Filename*.XML
... then file from Directory 2 & 3 is getting processed and not from Directory1.
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sarat.

Why use BPM for this?
Instead write an abap program to pick from any of 3 directories in source directory and place it in the shared XI folder and configure your file adapter pointing to XI shared folder...shecdule the abap report for every 5 min..
Wanna know more /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/23/sender-xi-ftp-adapter-with-regular-path-expression-150-abap
Or write OS level scripts for doing same.

  • File Sender Adapter - Dinamic Source Directory and Filename

    Hi Experts,
    I have to receive in XI a file and depeding of some info, put it in diferent directories with diferent fieldnames.
    In receiver File Adapter we can set the directory and fieldname dinamically by ABAP-CLASS mapping, but not in Sender.

    Hi Nilesh,
    Your threath is not about my issue...
    Answering to other friends, what I want is not to write p.e.: '/server/dir/' in each File Sender Adapter Channel, and put it with any other way looking some 'customizing' or checking a condition.
    The problem is that frecuently in the Company changes servers and we have to enter to the Directory and change every Channel one by one...We would like to reduce the maintain of the Channels with a mapping, variable, customizing table...or something similar. Do I explain?
    I don't know if its possible but I had the hope...:-)
    Thanks all.

  • File Sender adapter - source file name - weird

    Hi all,
    We have a sender file adapter polling an ftp location. The Dynamic config has been enabled to get the source file name.
    The actual file name is - "hrmd.xml", but in the dynamic configuration node, in sxmb_moni, the fileName is shown as ./hrmd.xml.
    This does not occur with any other file sender adapter comm channels polling ftp locations.
    I guess this has something to do with the ftp server. Did anyone face this issue?

    the fileName is shown as ./hrmd.xml
    The file name surely cant have a / in it....such characters are not allowed.
    is there any way we can change the fileName message attribute once the file is picked up
    Create a UDF for Dynamic Configuration and change the name as per your requirement (in XI)....the source file may be having proper format for name and i assume that you have to change it for receiver file name

  • FILE SENDER ADAPTER -  TO GET A DINAMIC FILE NAME IN THE DIRECTORY

    Hi,
         Please help me.
         I have to read by a file sender adapter a specific file in the directory that its name is Dyyyymmdd, where yyyymmdd is variable according with the current day:
         D      - fixed letter
         yymmdd - year,month and day of the current day.
         I cant´t use D* in the File Name Scheme because I must read only the one file generated in the day.
         How can I configure my file sender adapter to read this especific file in the directory?
          Thanks in advance.
          Mider.

    Hi Krishna,
        I must access only one file by time ( of the current day ), but in the directory I have a lot of them of different dates. I mean, in the of the read ( in the adapter configuration ) , I need to configure the name of the file Dyyyymmdd before of the reading in the directory, in other words, I need to construct the name of file (withe the current date) before the communication channel access the file to read it.
        I think that OS command just can be applicated in file receivers, but if possible, at your purpose, how can I access the name of this especific file via OS command for senders?
        Thanks,
             Mider.

  • Changing source file for file sender adapter in adapter module

    Hi guys!
    3rd party partner send us files, which are not acceptable by file adapter, so we need to implement (I suppose) adapter module in file sender adapter to correct the file format before it is taken by standard adapter. I have no experience in this development field. Could you give me:
    1, whether it is possible (changing file contents before it is taken by standard file sender adapter)
    2. any ideas, where to start with the development (pdf with info etc.)
    Thanx a lot!

  • Semantics File Sender Adapter to determine which files to retrieve

    Hallo,
    does anybody has experience with this semantic?
    Thanks in advance,
    Frank
    From the FAQ-List of file-adapter(Note 821267 , Question 27).
    Q: Which semantics does the File Sender Adapter apply to determine which files to retrieve from an FTP server?
    A: Up to and including SP13 the File Adapter will issue an NLST command (see RFC 959) with the configured source file name scheme as first parameter to the FTP server. It will try to retrieve any of the files returned by the FTP server in response to this command.
    Starting with SP14, the File Adapter will issue a LIST command with the configured source file name scheme as first parameter to the FTP server. If it is able to parse the returned result (which is the case for UNIX- and Windows-style directory listings), it will retrieve any of the returned files. If it cannot parse the result, it will fall back to the pre-SP14 implementation and use the NLST command as described above.

    Frank
    We are on SP12 and have had problems with this and specifically, the FTP server on Solaris, not being fully RFC959 compliant.
    We've had to get a different FTP Server as we were returned *.xml no file or folder found instead of 550 *.xml no file or folder found.
    This increased the polling to the server, and filled up the ftp logging file, which intern filled up the partition and crasehd the server.
    We got round this by installing http://www.proftpd.org/

  • Is it possible get special file in file sender adapter?

    Hi every SDNer.
    I want to get special file. for example like PJ<today>_return.dat
    Well, to paraphrase Marx, One folder has too many files. but I want one file in that folder.
    The rule is simple. if today is 20/07/2007 then I get the file as "PJ20070720_return.dat".
    How can i configuration File Sender Adapter?

    Dont have an XI system in front of me, but if I recall correctly, your options are pretty limited. The list of parameters in Advanced Selection for Source File does not include a date Better selection parms with the receiver channels.
    As such you may have to resort to writing a script on the OS that will do the following every minute... (basically run it more frequently than your channel)
    - look in that directory through all the PJ* files containing date = 'today'
    - rename the file to REAL_PJ_..... (for example)
    In your channel, pick the file REAL* and archive accordingly so it's not picked again by your script.
    If you find alternatives via cchannel - publish your results.
    sincerely,

  • 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

  • File Sender Adapter configuration

    All,
    We need to pick up the files of following format ".dtx.dat" and ".gtx.dat" in the sender adapter.
    we also need to exclude any file with the name in the format - ".err.dat" and ".exc.dat".
    How can you configure a single communication channel for this? (All the files have the same source directory "/data/inbound"

  • File Sender Adapter - File overwritting in the Archiving folder

    Hello Experts,
    I am doing File sender to proxy Receiver Async Scenario.
    In File Sender adapter, i am using the Archiving option by spacifying the
    Archiving path.
    Files are picked up and archiving happen successfully.
    Problem is: - once the File is picked up and archivied into the Archiving location
    If end user again rectifies some data in the same file and place it in the source directory
    then i am getting the following error in RWB Commu. channel monitoring.
    Failed to archive file 'File1.TXT' as '/Input File location/File1.TXT' after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 File not renamed.  File already exists.  You may delete the existing file and then rename.u2019 For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
    I know this is because of File sender adapter is trying to archive the file with the same name(File1.txt) in the archiving location.
    My Question: - Is there any option to allow the File sender Adapter for overwritting the
    File in the archiving location.
    Thanks & Regards
    Jagesh

    check if there is proper rights to over write files in the archive folder.
    The problem seems to be that the rights/authorization is not there. Else the adapter usually overwrites files in the archive folder unless you use the timestamp option.
    Archive
    Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
    u25A0       To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
    The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
    u25A0       Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
    u25A0       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.

  • File Sender Adapter - Throw Alerts

    Hi experts,
    I've custom a communication channel for the file sender adapter and I'd like to raise alerts in case of technical errors and functional.
    I managed to do this for functional errors, by alert rules, and runs good. But for technical errors, the alert rules, not runs good.
    I think to develop this control through Adapter User Modules. But so far I have not succeeded. Because if I remove the read permissions of the directory, the User Module is not executed.
    I don't know the solution. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jose.

    Hi experts,
    My problem was a bad configuration on the parameters of the alert rule. To manage the system errors and the application errors for my process integration scenario I'm configured the next:
    System Errors:
    Rule Activated: Yes. - And - Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule: No.
    Description and Alert Category, the corresponds.
    Bound to message: Not relevant.
    Sender Service, Sender Interface and Sender namespace, the corresponds.
    The other conditions: *
    Where did the error occur?
    Adapter Engine: Yes. - Adapter Type: File
    Application Errors:
    Rule Activated: Yes. - And - Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule: No.
    Description and Alert Category, the corresponds.
    Bound to message: Yes.
    Sender Service, Sender Interface and Sender namespace, and Receiver conditions, the corresponds.

  • File sender adapter: archiving not possible with transp.prot "filesystem,

    Hi XI gurus,
    in my FILE sender adapter I want to archive the processed files to a separate sub-directory of the "in" directory.
    It works if I use transport protocoll "FTP" with a specific user
    but it don't works when I use transport protocoll "file system (NFS)".
    the xi user has all permission on the directories.
    file system is on a UNIX machine.
    Has anybody an idea why archiving only works with transf.protocoll FTP ?
    Thanx very much in advance

  • Get filename from file sender adapter

    Hi Experts,
    I have a question regarding the file/ftp adapter (sender).
    I have a directory with xml and pdf files. for every xml file there is a pdf file with the same filename. for example:
    file1.xml
    file1.pdf
    file2.xml
    file2.pdf
    file3.xml
    file3.pdf
    Now I want to read the xml file with the file sender adapter. afterwards I want to read the related pdf file. for example: If I read the file file1.xml afterwards I want to read the pdf file file1.pdf with the file sender adapter. For this it is nessessary to get the filename from the xml file so that I can read afterwards the pdf file. How can I realise it?
    Thanks and best regards
    Christopher

    Hi srinivas,
    thanks for your quick answer.
    That the file adapter is not able to read pdf files is clear to me. In this case I only want to transport the pdf. that works fine. I tested it.
    the problem is the following:
    I have a xml file with the name "file1.xml". I read the xml file with the sender file/ftp adapter configured with filename "*.xml". Then I want to import the pdf file with the name "file1.pdf". Therefor I need the filename from the xml file.do you know what I mean? So XI has to know the filename of the xml to import the pdf with the same name ...
    regards

  • File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

    Hi all
    I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
    I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
    Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
    And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
    I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
    Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
    Regards
    Naina

    Rajesh/Amar
    TCode:: SXMB_ADM->Integration engine configuration->specific configuration->runtime
    Trace_Level = 3 then you can get all MONI PIPELINE Steps also
    I did this change but cudn't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
    This is how i have configured my process:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
    But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
    I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
    I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
    This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
    2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
    2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
    2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
    Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
    help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating

  • File Sender Adapter

    Hello All...
    sysinfo:  files to join,  file1, file2, file3    output after joining the files should be sal.txt and the executable file is run.bat
    We have a File Sender Adapter and we are trying to "Run an Operating System Command Before message Processing" where we execute  run.bat, if we execute it  manually this executable run.bat is ok, but if we try to use it from "run operating System command before message processing" it does not work (it does not create the sal.txt file in the operating system)
    we are wondering if that is because file sal.txt in the field "file name" of  "file access parameters" does not exist in the operating system before the file run.bat runs.
    Any clue about this?.
    Regards

    HI Maru,
    Why don't you try to run this command from the sender directory specified in your sender file adapter in your command prompt??
    Does that result in success???
    And also, Instead of using a .bat fie, use the following command
    COPY "C:\MyFolder\file1.txt" + "C:\MyFolder\file2.txt" +"C:\MyFolder\file3.txt" "C:\MyFolder\sal.txt"
