How file adapter has to pick .stub file???

Hi guys,
Sap system is generating a .stub file.if that file exist then only adapter will send the data to pi.
Can we have some settings in Sender File Adapter where in we can Put check condition for .STUB file.
I mean, If .STUB file is present in ECC directory only than PI will Pick the File.
If .STUB file exist, we need to pick some other file.
If we want to go with unix script, From were we need to get that unix script file. and were we need to use .in file adapetr or some were else??
--> Do you have any example script? If yes, please share.
--> is there advance function in Sender File Adapter to pick that file?
please advice
Regards,
Naren

Naren
with "Run operating system command before message processing" you can call a script on your server.
The script can check if there is a file .STUB exist on server or not.
You can serch for unix commands for check if file exist.
One example:
test -e $file_name && echo "file exists"
from http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/5361-how-check-if-file-exist-not.html
You can check others as well.

Sener file adapter has read/pick the files first in first out method.

HI
In my Interface I am Using Sender as File adapter. As per my requirement Sender file adapter has to read the file from file directory. This directory having 1000u2019s of files with some files are same name (time stamp is different) and some files are different name here file adapter has to pick the file with mentioned name in File sender adapter like ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-.xml .
But source file name is like <TABLENAME>-<TIME_STAMP>.XML (ZMPSWRKFLOWHIST-20090527-150522-628) in file directory.
The file adapter in XI will poll to this directory and picks the file in first- in first-out by sorting according to timestamp.
To do this configuration what I have to do in sender file adapter please give me your valuable inputs.

HI Abhi,
Thank you for your spot replay.
I tested now but i am geting below error.
Putting message into send queue failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DuplicateMessageException: Message ID f4ca4f86-9c5d-4bdd-1fb1-a6bd7cda99a8(OUTBOUND) already exists in database: com.sap.sql.DuplicateKeyException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__XI_AF_MSG__491A1D0B'.

File Adapter is not picking few files

Hi All,
I am facing some issue in file adapter. Below are the possible file format that we need to pick.
File format sample 1:
865|FieldOrder|AK|620005168|1|Reject|Line Qty can not be Canceled,xyz,abc|The line has been shipped,fgh,hjk
File format sample 2:
865|FieldOrder|AK|570000259|10|Accept|
- All the fields are separated by '|' & last filed is terminated by 'eol'.
- The last two fields (C7 & C8) also have sub fields separted by ',' as shown in sample 1.
- Fields C7 & C8 are optional. (Sample 2 is shown above)
- File contains only one record.
We are using below mentioned XSD which is working fine in case of sample 1 as shown above. When we have a file of format like sample 2 then file adapter is failing to pick the file. I also tried minoccur='0' attribute which also not worked. Please help me out to find the exact XSD which will pick both type of formats (sample 1& sample2).

Hi,
>>2) Even for those few picked files, why are we seeing less no. of Idocs
than the file contents.
Check the mapping by using the payload from SXMB_MONI. I think the mapping is not correct.
>>3) Why is the adapter always picking files immediately even if a poll
interval is set.
Once the objects are activated in ID the channel picks the file immediately and then it waits for the polling interval and repeats the process.

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.

Sender File adapter is not picking up file

Hi,
I am usning the sender file adapter to process a file through FTP. Adapter does not pick up the file, however it recognise the file, as it appears in the error message. Below is the text of the error message:
Could not process file 'filename': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 toSAP: No such file or directory.
I am not sure yet whether this file is read only. Can read only file not be processed in FTP ?
Thanks

Hi, I have the same problem. In advance, we can see in FTP Server log that CWD command it is called twice, for example :
00:00:59 10.15.64.187 [4669]USER MDM 331 0
00:00:59 10.15.64.187 [4669]PASS - 230 0
00:00:59 10.15.64.187 [4669]CWD MDM_55600_MATERIAL_STD\Outbound\ESN_800\_MATMAS05\Ready 250 0
00:00:59 10.15.64.187 [4669]CWD MDM_55600_MATERIAL_STD\Outbound\ESN_800\_MATMAS05\Ready 550 3
00:01:59 10.15.64.187 [4669]QUIT - 550 0
If we create a directory MDM_55600_MATERIAL_STD\Outbound\ESN_800\_MATMAS05\Ready into the first directory Ready where it is positioned with first cwd , its works !!
First CWD is called for read file an seccond for processing, somebody knows because this behavior ?

File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server

Hi All,
This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
Any guess as to what is going on here?

Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: File
source directory: /test or test ( either one works)
file name: * or . or *.txt nothing works
server: ftp server name
port: 21
data connection: passive
user: ******
pass: ******
connect mode: permanently
transfer mode: text
QOS: exactly once
poll: 10 secs
processing mode: archive ( changed to test and delete as well, but made no difference.)
archive dir: dir path
file type: text
adapter specific attributes:
checked: set adapter specific attributes
and file name.
status: active.

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.

Dibya

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

File Adapter and reading all XML files from direcotry

Problem occurs on PI 7.1
I defined sender file adapter. File name mask is: "*.xml" to read all XML messages from directory.
Quality of service is: Exactly One.
Poll Interval: 30
Retry interval: 30
Processing mode: Archive with option "Add Timestamp".
Processing sequence: by name.
I though that with above configuration my File Adapter will be reading folder for all coming XML files. But somehow it is reading XMLs only when I'm activating it in Integration Builder.
Any idea what can cause such strange problem?

Hi Tomasz,
As per my understanding, you need to activate the file adapter for reading the XML files on your directory. Right?
If that is the case, then the issue might be with the Cache.
1. Clear the cache from the Integration Builder.
2. Check in SXI_CACHE whether there are any issues. Click on Delta Cache refresh to find out if there are any cache related issues.
Thanks,

Sender file adapter is not polling the file.

Dear all,
Sender file adapter is not polling the file.(But Receiver file adapter is getting the file)
we have installed SP15.
It was worked fine for previous SP14.
I have cheked in Adapter monioring also.
Can you help me out of this problem
Regards
Dhanabal

Hi Dhanabal,
Is the XI system running on a unix machine ?
If yes, from the OS level for the folder you are using in the file comm. channel, execute the command
chmod 777 <folder_name>
The reason for the file to show up in receiver side and not get deleted might be that the xi user mighht be having only read access to the folder...
Thanks,

How to open a "printable" version of a pdf file which has embedded a swf file?

I've got a project that consist of a pdf file that has a swf inside, it's all managed by a .nav file, a navigator.
The thing is, since the Flash Player is not a part of the pdf file (I think it was a part before), and it has to be downloaded and installed separately, I need to have an option for the users so they can access a more compact and printable version of what the pdf shows, but this time, not using the swf but the alternative, printable, version.
I spent some time looking for this "printable version", but no luck so far, if anyone knows something about it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

I see, I didn't know the exact term of what it's called, I've read somewhere and some people refer to it as interactive statements, the project is made with Flash Builder and I use the asset placement plugin. I'm a long time as3 programmer, but I never used a swf file within a pdf.
So, you are telling me that there is no way to have a default fallback option to show, let say, only text when the flash player isn't available?, because, a client of mine told me that he saw once a video showing Adobe featuring a "printable version" of the same pdf when that condition happened. He didn't send me the link or anything, I guess I just need to believe him on that one.
Any help, documentation to read, or orientation would be appreciated.
Edit.: forgot to say, mobile is not an issue/option here, this app or portfolio would play only in desktop.

Sender File Adapter- Incrementing the counter in file name

Hello,
We have a requirement to read a different file name with every read. Every subsequent file would have a numeric counter updated when we receive it, we need to read that file as the directory would hold the previous files as well.
File structure :- EP<counter>.txt ; so first file would be EP001.txt, next one would be EP002.txt.
How could i do this in Sender file adapter, as there is no variable substitution available like receiver file adapter.
I cannot use wild card characters as the directory would contain previous files as well and we ned to pick the latest file.
Regards

Hi,
>>How could i do this in Sender file adapter, as there is no variable substitution available like receiver file adapter.
Yes true this is not available in sender channel
>>I cannot use wild card characters as the directory would contain previous files as well and we ned to pick the latest file.
You can use EP* as the filename and use processing mode as Set to Read-Only

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.

File Adapter: Advanced selection for source file

Hi Experts,
I am doing file(Idoc format) to IDoc scenario. In my scenario I am getting files in three different formats (ex: abc.dat, xyz.dat, 123.edi). My communication channel (sender file adapter) should poll for every 30 mins, picks up the files and map them to Idoc without any mapping.
Need following clarifications:
1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Regards,
Rams

>>1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
Not required.. if all the files are from the same directory then u can specify . in the file name parameter.. but make sure that only these 3 file types are places in the directory... if this is not the case you can use Advannced Selection... check my Wiki [Single Sender File CC For Multiple Directories|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SingleSenderFileCCForMultipleDirectories]
>>2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Mappiing is required only if the source and the target structure are different.. if u send the file with the IDocc XML format mapping is not required...

File Adapter : Throw alert when no file

HI
I am using a file adapter as sender and lets say it polls the FTP server every 10 min.
My req is when there is no file in the FTP folder alert has to be triggered. Let me know how to do that.
Thanks
Prabhakar

Dear Prakasu,
In reply to your help
"Select the Time out tag.
Fill the require time limit.Like if you want to process a file with in 10 min then maintain 10 min.
If the file is not transfered with in 10 min then adapter consider an error and through the error.Use alert for adapter errors and send the alert."
I didn't find Time Out in sender Adapter,Time Out Flag is visible in OS CMDS..
Can you explain me in more details..
Thanks
