Send a flat file with fixed lengths to XI 3.0 using a Central File Adapter?

Hello,
I'm wondering if someone have experience setting up conversion for different record structures. The example shown,
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2004/12/15/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-fixed-lengths-to-xi-30-using-a-central-file-adapter,
(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)

FTP connection error whil,e using flat file adapter error

while using file adapter in the reciever end for proxy to file
i am giving paranters like server IP address and the port , i dont know which port to give by default it is giving me 21 , anyway how to check whether the connection is correct
and more over
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
please help me in this thanks

HI Sridhar ,
First check wether server started or not and then check you are connecting to FTP server by
go to run -> cmd and write ping and ipaddress which is used and see whether u r getting reponse from teh FTP server.
Try to login to the ftp server which you have mentioned in CC using the user name and pwd, to chk whether you have the permissions to login to the server.
Also the check whether the folder you are trying to access is having permission for delete/read/write.
Restart the FTP server and try it again.

Interface output file : tab limited vs flat file with fixed length

hey guys,
any idea on difference b/w to file type : flat file with fixed length or tab limited file
thanks

Tab Delimited:
Two Field are seperated by a TAB
eg. SANJAY SINGH
First field is First Name and Second is Sir Name.
Nth field will be after N -1 tab
Fixed Length:
Every field has a fixed starting position and length
eg. SANJAY SINGH
Here First field start from Position 1 and has lenght 10 and 2nd field start from 11th postion and has lenght 10.
Fixed Length -> The lenght of each field is fixed, while in tab delimited the lenght of field is not fixed but we know it ends when the Seperatot (Tab) is encountered.

Is it possible to display a waveform with fixed length and fixed starting point?

Hi,
I am using DAQ assitant to acquire voltage and current measurment of my device. The voltage is a pure sine wave and current is a periodic waveform with phase difference and distortion. I use waveform chart to display the waveform of voltage and current waveform in seperate charts and they work fine.But the waveforms look like moving to the right all the time, in another way ,the phase is always shifting. Now i want to display the waveforms of both with fixed length (say 2 cycle) and also in a same chart. Apart from that, i also want to display the voltage waveform starting form 0 degree (a fixed point )rather than moving all the time. In this case, i can observe the angle difference between voltage and current. Is there any method to achieve this purpose?
Many Thanks,
Hao

Hao,
first of all, you are using a chart which has three options for updates if the chart is "full":
Strip chart (default)
Scope chart
Sweep chart
These are called "update mode". Test the modes yourself.
Also you have to know that you will not likely have an integer number of periods of your signal in the display of the chart. Therefore, a continuous signal will "move" the graph from update to update.
You can implement some algorithm to discard data to maintain a static "trigger" level for display, but as stated, it will leave gaps in the signal. These gaps are not a concern unless you use the displayed signal for analysis (e.g. FFT).

File adapter error after updating to SP19 (INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR)

File adapter error after updating to SP19 (INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR)
Hi all,
im having some troubles after the installation of SP19 (from SP16 in NW04) with File Adapter (File->Idoc scenario).
In message monitoring (Adapter Engine), I have several messages with status "System Error". The error text is :
Received XI System Error. ErrorCode: INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR
ErrorText: ErrorStack: Error in sender agreement for party '', service 'LEGACY_DEV', interface namespace 'http://XXXXX.com/XXXXXX', interface 'INTERFACE_OB' No sender agreement found for , , , , ,
Im sure that the Integration Directory settings have not been changed. So I tried the following, but the problem persists:
- Deactivation/Activation of File Adapter channel
- check that user XIISUSER is not locked
- checked SXI_CACHE (it seems ok)
- Many CPA full refresh
- Dummy modifications of File Adapter channels (a dummy modification of the description)
- Reboot J2EE
I've seen that someone else had problems after upgrading to SP19. I'd really appreciate any suggestion of how to solve my issue.
Thank you
Manuel

Adapter file receiver - file with fix length record

Hi everybody,
In the file adapter receiver, I want to create a fixed length record file .
Each record need to have the same size.
How is it possible, because I have a file which contains variable legnth depending of the lenght of message?
exemple:
<mess>
 <row>1234567</row>
 <row>123456789A</row>
</mess>
give the file
1234567<CR>
123456789A<CR>
<CR> means carriage return
and I want a file like
1234567 <CR>
123456789A<CR>
with the same lenth of record (10 in the example).
Can anyone help me, ,please?
Kind regards.
E. Koralewski

Hi Eric,
Create a value user defined function with one input argument a and name it is inputpad. Then add the following code:
Imports: java.*;
while (a.length()<Integer.parseInt("10"))
 a= a +" " ;
return String;
Here I am assuming your fixed length for the field is 10. If it is more or less then change the number. Now in your mapping do all your logic and then in the final add this like:
input ---> your logic --> inputpad udf --> target.

Dealing with Fixed Length formats both at sender and receiver side

Hi all,
I have file -- File with fixed lenght formats.
Source system will generate a text file with fixed lenght and target also needs the same file with same format.
Then we have an idea to implement the interface with out IR Development .this is fine upto now.
But now the problem is we are receiving more fields from source than we require for target process. we are not using at receiver side.
So receiving system needs only few required fields from the source file.
From soucre
Ex: Source.... DocNum   Invoice No   Bill date   Bill amount vendor code
We require at target
Ex: Target.....   DocNum Bill Date Vendor code
Please suggest me
Regards

Hi,
>>The source file content conversion is simple...In the target when you specify the target field names just leave out the ones you dont need...
from source we wil read all the fields, this is fine and in the target how to mention the field positions
Here all fields will come into picture, we cant mention the positions at receiver
Source side Ex: Docnum    InvoiceNo     Billdate     Bill Amt     Vendor
Fixed lenghts are 10            20               10             10            20
Target Expects Ex: Docnum   BillDate Vendor
                              10            10          20
in receiver side if you mention fixed lenghts like 10 10 20 means it may read docnum, Invoiceno, BillDate
It wont ignore InvoiceNo field in this case
Regards

Help with FIXED LENGTH columns - using spool command

Hi guys,
I have a view I am trying to spool using fixed length columns, and the spacing is off. Ive tried numerous things such as specifiying the column width before running the query, using the rpad command, but nothing seems to work. I have to spool it to a text file in order for the users to import this file into another system. I would welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks so much. The following is the view:
SELECT "EMPLOYEE_ID","FIRST NAME","INITIAL","LAST NAME","SUFFIX","TRAINING DATE","Course ID","Class ID", "We", "Make / Model", "Cali", "Barrell", "Serial Number", "Qualification", "Application", "SCORE", "Status", "Add Time", "Record Add ID","Record Add Date","Record Change ID","Record Change Date","RN" FROM

UPPER(RPAD('',5)) AS "SUFFIX",
UPPER(RPAD(to_char(QUALDATE, 'mmddyyyy'),8)) AS "TRAINING DATE",

Hi,
You RPAD doesn't do anything, since they are same as:
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
R R R R
SQL>Can't see why COLUMN command shouldn't do what you want. Maybe you forgot the double quotes?
SQL> COL "Record Add ID" FOR a18
SQL> COL "Record Add Date" FOR a18
SQL>
SQL> SELECT NULL AS "Record Add ID",
2         NULL AS "Record Add Date",
3         NULL AS "Record Change ID",
4         NULL AS "Record Change Date" FROM DUAL;
Record Add ID      Record Add Date    R R
SQL>P.S: You probably shouldn't set a column width which is smaller than the header length

How to get a string with fixed length

I want to implement something like movechar() of c in java. I want to return a string which has a fixed length that contains the given string and spaces for remaining length.
Please let me know how can I implement it.
Thanks & Regards,
Nasrin.n

Do you mean padding a String?
 * This method pads the string s to size n using char c to make up for missing characters.
 public static String padString(String s, int n, char c, boolean paddingLeft) {
 StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer(s);
 int strLength = str.length();
 if (n > 0 && n > strLength) {
 for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
 if (paddingLeft) {
 if (i < n - strLength) str.insert(0, c);
 else {
 if (i > strLength) str.append(c);
 return str.toString();
 }

Flat file destination error

hi
i am adding new field to my existing package which is char(10).
getting this error:
[Flat File Destination [139]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "MEMBER_ID" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
i right click flat file destination->i only see external and input column over there,
there is no output column.
in flat file connection mamanger ->outputcolumn->its char(10)
what needs to be change here?

Hi coool_sweet,
According to your description, you are trying to add a new source column to a flat file in an existing package.
Based on the error message, the issue should be caused by text was truncated when load new column to column "Column1" in Flat File Destination. Because the length of new column data should be more than 10 (with some junk values) in the Source,
while you are trying to convert the column to 10 as the character length.
To fix this issue, we can increase the length of column "Column1" in Flat File Connection Manager. Alternatively, if you still want to convert the new column to a column with length 10, we can right-click the Source component to select “Show Advanced
Editor”, then go to tab 'input and output properties' to expand the output column corresponds to the column "Column1", change TrancationRowDiposition property to RD_IgnoreFailure.
Besides, the issue can also be caused by using some special characters in the new column. We can check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager to fix this issue. For more details, please see the following

Flat file load error

Hi.
I am getting the following error when loading .csv file from "Client Workstation" but the same file is loading fine from "Application server".
Value '10/1/206 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces
I look for your suggestions to solve and understand this.
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Dinesh,
I solved the problem by using SDATE in transfer rules as per the SAP note 161506. I am giving the note below for others who might land with similar problem.
Thanks
Kumar
SAP Note Number: 161506
Summary
Symptom
You want to transfer data from a source system into BW from a file (flat file) that also includes date entries (for example, for the 0CALDAY InfoObject). However, when you load the data, the data disappears.
Other terms
Time characteristic, transfer structure, transfer rules, InfoPackage Scheduler, InfoSource
Reason and Prerequisites
In the flatfile of the source system, a date exists which is not stored in the internal format YYYYMMDD but in the external (user-specific) format. In the transfer structure maintenance, no routine is specified for the conversion exit for the corresponding date field. An incorrect data type and an incorrect length can be assigned additionally. The missing conversion exit causes an incorrect processing of the date during the conversion to the internal format of the type DATS and length 8.
Solution
In the maintenance of the transfer structure, standard values that expect the date while the data is being stored in the internal format of the YYYYMMDD system are entered for the 0CALDAY InfoObject (calendar day):
InfoObject Field name Type Length Conversion exit   0CALDAY       CALDAY      CHAR      8
The problem described above is corrected with the conversion of the date fields into the internal format in the flatfile.
If you want to maintain the external format of the date in the source file, implement the following changes in the transfer structure maintenance for the 0CALDAY field:
InfoObject Field name Type Length Conversion exit   0CALDAY       CALDAY      CHAR    10   SDATE
Note that the type must always be CHAR (not DATS). The predefined field length is changed from 8 to 10, and additionally the conversion routine SDATE is entered.
IMPORTANT: The external format for the date in the flat file must match the standard settings of the user in the system (System -> User profiles -> Own data -> Fixed values) such as DD.MM.YYYY MM/DD/YYYY and so on.
Each time you make a change in the maintenance of the transfer structure, you must
a) save the new entries,
b) activate the transfer rules again (InfoSource -> maintain transfer rules),
c) exit and access the Administrator Workbench again (see related notes below) before the next set of data is loaded.
