Question related to FILE SENDER handling of recordsets

Hi
We have a File->RFC SAP scenario
We are reading files using FTP File adapter. Splitting messages 100 messages per recordset. QOS is EXACTLY ONCE!
If we have a huge file - lets say 100.000 records.
The adapter starts reading and gets to 50.000th record and FTP server (SENDER) crashes.
My question is which one of the below scenarios is true (if any):
A)
are those 50.000 records now processed, and in "chunks" of 100's beeing routed to the SAP system and processed?
What then, if the FTP server comes up again, how does it know where in the file it has reached???
B)
Or is it so, that PI reads the file and persists the messages (in 100's) and only when it has reached the end of the file it then
starts to call the SAP system via RFC adapter.
If it does NOT reach the end of file (ie FTPserver crashes...) then ALL messages (so the 50.000) are marked as erronoeus and will NOT be processed to SAP RFC?
I hope it is B, but please help

Hi Bohamo,
Even if it is big file, all the records will be picked up at once (XI Picks one file at a time).
So even if the FTP crashes after you pick it up, then also XI will have all the 100000 records ready to be processed.
After the file adapter has the 1000000 records ready, then it will process chunks of 100 records each.
YOu will have one RFC call per 100 records of information (1000 RFC calls for the whole file).

Question related to PO Event Handler

Hi Experts
I am facing issues related to PO Header Event Handler:
1. When I make change to Statistical Delivery Date under Delivery Schedule tab in ECC, The PO Header EH is getting deleted in EM. May I know the reason behind this? Please suggest how to avoid this.
2. When I am deleting one of PO Items, the PO Header EH is also getting deleted in EM. When I undelete the PO Item, my PO Item EH is active again but PO Header Eh is still in deleted status. Please suggest how to correct this.
I really appreciate your quick answers to this.

Hi Steffen
When we tried to analyse through debugging, for the first issue, we found that the standard application tables PURCHASE_ORDER_HEADER_NEW and PURCHASE_ORDER_HEADER_OLD delivered by SAP for BPT ESC_PURORD, are not having the value D for DeleteVal. column. When we have put this manually for testing purpose, the issues are resolved. But we do not know the impact of putting this value here as standard SAP did not deliver it that way.
When we observed tables of other BPT, this value D is there. Please throw some light on this before we go ahead and make changes.
Thanks

How to handle flat file with variable delimiters in the file sender adapter

Hi friends,
I have some flat files in the ftp server and hope to poll them into XI, but before processing in XI, I hope to do some content conversion in the file sender adapter, according to the general solution, I just need to specify the field names, field seperator, end seperator, etc. But the questions is:
The fileds in the test data may have different amount of delimiters (,), for example:
ORD01,,,Z4XS,6100001746,,,,,2,1
OBJ01,,,,,,,,,,4,3
Some fileds only have 1 ',' as the delimiter, but some of them have multiple ','.
How can I handle it in the content conversion?

Bean

Sender FTP MVS file duplicate Handling

Hello,
I am facing the following challenge in one of my current development. I know it is an age old issue but Would greatly appreciate
some new inputs/views into this.
The following is the scenario.
1. PI 7.3 Sender File adapter (FTP) reads the file from the mainframe (MVS)
2. The MVS dataset is like
     TEST.MVS.DATA.C001D00
     TEST.MVS.DATA.C002D00
     TEST.MVS.DATA.C003D00 ....
3. For a specific reason the MVS file is not allowed to be deleted/archived, were as the new file will be keep on adding (004, 005, 006 ....)
3.1 Handled this using "ftp. ignoreSourceFileDeletion " -- true
4. Now the challenge in SAP PI is "how to READ the NEW files ONLY, ignoring/skipping the old files"
4.1 The file size is big enough to avoid reading all files and filter/delete using Mapping/Script
5. I have used the default "Duplicate Handling" option available in the File Sender adapter, but
        5.1 the problem is, the channel throws the duplicate error after processing the first file (DATA.C001D00)
            but dose not move on to process the next file (since the first file is still available on the FTP, as mentioned in step 3).
        5.2 For every poll interval it throws the duplicate error/message (in CC monitor) for the first file again n again.
        5.3 Duplicate handling config :- Duplicate Message Alert Threshold = 0
Pls let me know if you have had a similar scenario and how to handle it.
Adapter module would be a last resort :-)
Thanks in advance
Prasanna

Hi Hareesh
Thanks for the reply. The mainframe dosent allow the file permission to be changed!!
We have figured out to use an abap program (bg scheduled job) which will do the ftp pull and also maintains the filename, timestand and size in an custom table. So every time it will check the table entries and will get the latest files only.
Marking it as answered!!

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

Error handling : File( sender and receiver)

Hi Experts,
This is regarding some information i require in the Error Handling mechanisms we can use while picking up the file through File Sender Adapter and while placing the same on the receiver adapter :
Scenarios like :
a) Validations we can put , on the file , should that be done in SAP XI or after placing in SAP ERP.
b) If the file is of a different format and isnt picked up how can that be handled ? ]
c) if the File contains wrong data , should the alert be generated in SAP or SAP XI ?
d) If the file does not arrive in the folder itself what is the error handling meachanism ?
e) diff
thanks
Dev

a) Validations we can put , on the file , should that be done in SAP XI or after placing in SAP ERP
Do validations on File mean perform a check on the file for its contents, format, structure? If yes, then these are performed in XI/ PI
b) If the file is of a different format and isnt picked up how can that be handled ?
The file channel will throw an error if it is not able to find the file (specified in sender channel) during its poll interval.
c) if the File contains wrong data , should the alert be generated in SAP or SAP XI ?
If SAP is the target system, then better the check and alert be done in SAP XI/ PI, as far as possible we should avoid sending wrong data to the target.
d) If the file does not arrive in the folder itself what is the error handling meachanism ?
Which folder are you talking about? If it is source folder then the error will be thrown as mentioned in point b.
If it is target folder, then the error (if any) will be captured either in IE or AE of SAP XI/ PI and can be intimated using alerts.

Abhishek.

File Sender with CC Error handling

When using the file sender with content conversion we often receive
Parsing errors in the AFW monitoring due to bad messages.
Q: how can we monitor and e-mail this errors from the AFW,does the CCMS covers everything? Alert monitoring?.
another Q: In higher SPs of XI there is the option to archive error messages,is it possible to raise an alert for the parsing problem even though the file was removed by the Comm. channel to the archive folder.
points will be rewarded.

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

AS2 error The FILE send adapter cannot open file

I have AS2 setup under biztalk. I have receive port which listen to HTTP adapter and keep listening on web site.Then there is corresponding send port which just write that file in folder . Send port just have filter for Receive adapter name.
It works fine, but some time I get error message
The FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing.
Details: The system cannot find the path specified.
I am not able to understand what is error for this? Please help me to figure-out this.

Specifying the Backup transport is not going to solve the problem. Specifying the backup transport in this case is something like addressing the symptom of the issue and not finding the solution to root cause of the issue.
As you specified, if the mentioned error only happens some time but not always. In this case, the message "The
FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing." would just be a warning message. Just by setting the retry in the send port will solve the issue. i..e Since this issue occurs rarely, it may be short lived glitch.
So by setting the retry count (lets say 3 times) with retry interval (let say 5 mins), this issue can be easily mitigated. You would not lose the message. So during the glitch you would get this message as warning, send port will retry "after specified
retry interval so after 5 mins", so by that time chances of files transfer is high. So this problem can be easily handled just by having retry count and retry interval in send port.
But you need to find the actual cause for this issue or you need to find the permanent resolution for this issue.

Ansh,
.lastFieldsOptional is obselete and you cannot use. Please see sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
The best thing comes to my mind is use:
.keepIncompleteFields as YES
Also give a try with:
.missingLastfields as add
So with this I think your last line in the file will read into XI. But the value of last line is **EOF**. So the length is 9. Since your the first two fixed lengths are 6 and 8. You will have these values as ***EOF and ***. So while mapping you can use doesnot satrt with * and map it, so that your last line will be ignored.
Note: with this apporach you have to make sure your first two columns never start with *. If you have a doubt then you can use the condition doesnot equal to ***EOF for first field and doesnot equal to *** for the second field when you map. I hope it makes sense to you.

File Sender Scenario - Mapping error message

Hi All
Scenario
I am trying to develop a test scenario where a record is read from the file and sent to R/3 using RFC (Bapi)
So i believe this will involve a file adapter as sender and a RFC adapter as receiver, I have configured data types, message types, message mapping, interface mappings, sender determination, receiver determination etc.
Problem
When i put the text file in the polling directory the file is read, but there is an error,
On checking Processed XML message in SXMB_MONI I see that the following steps listed
1 - Inbound message (CENTRAL)
2 - Receiver Determination
3 - Interface Determination
4 - Receiver Grouping
5 - Message Branch According to Receiver
6 - Request Message Mapping
7 - Request Message Mapping
Step 1 - 6 does not show any error message, step 7 has an error with the following message
<SAP:Category>Application</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">EXCEPTION_DURING_EXECUTE</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_basic_paycreate_file_to_rfc_map~</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException<;/SAP:P2>
<SAP:P3>Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.Parser~</SAP:P3>
Additional Information
My Business System Commnication channel has a Sender File adapter, this file sender is configured to read from file system from a certain directory and message protocol is File Content Conversion.
In Content Conversion parameters input fieldname and input separator are configured (does anything else need to be configured in this section?)
My input file is of the structure aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,fff,ggg
My Data Type is of the structure
<data header>
     <aaa></aaa>
     <bbb></bbb>
     <ccc></ccc>
     <ddd></ddd>
     <branch1>
               <eee></eee>

     </branch2>
     <branch3>
               <ggg></ggg>
     </branch3>
</data header>
Questions
First question is why is there 2 instance of Request message mapping showing up in the monitor? Isn't this supposed to show up only once?
Second question it appears that the problem is something to do with Mapping (Message Mapping) but i tried to test the message mapping manually using the data generated in the payload and it passes the mapping successfully.
Third question, how is the input flat file converted to the complex structure of data type (as mentioned in additional information above) is this done by the input.filedNames that assigns the corresponding values from flat file to the data type?
Fourth question - is there a way to run the process step by process (as a step through in other programming IDEs?) so the problem can be more easily identified?
Thanks
Anant

Hi All
I little update - it appears that some of the scenarios developed earlier that were working earlier are now also failing at the same process of mapping with this error message.
So i am suspecting that this is not a problem with the mappings in my scenarios but rather a some technical setting related to how XI invokes this class - com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException.
Does any one have any ideas what i can check to confirm this? Whether the problem is in the technical setting or the scenario configuration?
thanks

How to configure Send Handler for BizTalk 2013 Dynamic Send Port on deployment?

Hi,
I do know how to manually configure a send handler for a dynamic send port in BizTalk 2013 Administration console. Though, once you export your application's configuration to a binding file, the dynamic send port's configuration does not
contain any information regarding the send handler. When you try to use this binding file when deploying your application your dynamic port's send handler falls back to the default host instance.
So my question is, how could we automate this process to avoid manual step in a dynamic port configuration during deployment?
Thank you,

Adobe reader, File Send service

I've had a problem with the field where one normally enters the email address where you want to send files. Usually, the box is there and I enter the email address. Now, suddenly, that box does not appear, so I can't enter a send to email address.
I can even add all of the files I want to send and click on "create link", but then I go to the box where you enter the email address, but it is not active.
I do remember that even when the email address field was active, once I hit "create link" I would always get a pop up telling me I needed to make a change in email setup for Outlook. I would click on OK, but it would send me to my own email page (I don't have Outlook). Then,I would just go back to Adobe and wait until th files loaded, and it worked fine.

For questions related to the Adobe Send subscription service you'll want to visit the Adobe Send user forum.

Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?
And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

> With fixed lengths i get it working,

Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1

Waveburner; a few Questions regarding track files and Session Data

After a bit of negotiating, I'm almost ready to burn. Was having problems with file locations and discovered that i had multiple files in different locations. Those have been eliminated and all relative track files are in one place now with the Song Data File as well.
I then re-imported the individual aif tracks only to find that all of my fades and edits are GONE. It appears that I may have to DO THEM ALL OVER AGAIN! Please tell me that there is a work around.
Is it possible to import only the Session Data related to the fades and edits(everything but the actual audio files), so as to avoid all this "do-again" work?
I was also wonder if it is necessary, or perhaps a good idea, to change the File INFO for each of the individual audio track files from "OpenWith" iTunes (default setting) to "Open With": WAVEBURNER ?. (selectable on the aiff files, "Show More Info" window
Currently the aif files are set to "OpenWith" iTunes (default)
One last question please.
Is Waveburner really up to snuff? How many people are using this for Mastering and Burning CD's? I'm about to start inserting some AU Mastering Plug Ins and I'm hoping for the best. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You're grammer isn't bad jord, it was I who asked a plethora of questions under one Subject heading.
When i open the project file(.wb3),
The prompt says;
"Please choose a replacement from the list below:"
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/1 Track 01.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/2 Track 02.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/3 Track 03.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/4 Track 04.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/6 Track 06.aiff
As you can see the files are in the trash.
The first problem is that there are no actual files in the trash. Just an icon of a CD Disc which was dragged there to eject it, It is no longer in the disc drive/tray. Perhaps i should put the disc back in the drive and then update/replace the files afterwords. (The CD is scratched.)
The strange thing is that i can still preview the track that's in the trash by selecting More Info and playing it on the little Quicktime player bar. I guess the file is in a cache somewhere?
I've looked everywhere on all drives for the specific files but can not find them anywhere.
In the Replacement prompt there is a place that I can check to "Search in the same folder for subsequent files" button on the "Replacement" prompt.
which "same folder" is it refering to?
The Trash folder where the old files are or the Folder where the actual .wb3 project file is? I do have all of the correctly named song files/regions in the same folder with the project file.
maybe i should just start again. i'm not one to give up easy though and would much prefer to "beat" the computer at the game.
