Sender file channel with name as *.xml

Hi All.
I have a file to file scenario from a ftp server.
When the name of the file is abc.xml in the communicaiton channel the scenario works fine, but as soon as I change it to
a*.xml I get the error as below
The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 520 Unexpected reply codeControl connection prematurely closed by server'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

There's no bug for this functionality.
I've use it in many cases.
Probably there's some issue in FTP connection, try to test command directly from your PI system, like follow:
FTP <hostname>
(user&password)
cd <directory>
ls *.xml
mget <filename>
Check if it work.

Error in Sender File Channel

Dear all,
I'm trying to execute a File to File scenario.But I'm getting this error in the sender file channel.

The file is not getting picked, the processing mode is set to "Delete". Please help me out in resolving it.
Any hep would be rewarded.

Hi,
Check whether you have given the filename to other communication channel as well. Because it seems to execute another interface where you have a JDBC been used.
If so change the file name in CC and in your file and check it once again.

Sender file channel in DLNG mode when ICO used

Hello All,
I am working on SAP PI 7.4 version Dual stack installation.
As part of Inbound Interface development, Operation mapping has been included in Integrated Configuration Object (ICO). But when tried to execute the Interface the sender File communication channel always into Delivering mode DLNG and it never went to DLVD mode while reading input file.
Hence I have followed the traditional approach of by creating all configuration objects RD,ID,SA,RA in place of ICO. Now the communication channel is able to read the input file successfully.
Can any one please tell me the reason behind this issue
Note : There were no changes/corrections made to the sender file channel.
Thnx&Regards,
Moorthy

Hi naresh,
Check the communication channel montiring tab ,give the channel name and see whether able to ping the destination and down you can see logs as well.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Multiple Archive directories in Sender file channel

Hi Experts,
My requirment is to have multipple archive direcotories in Sender file channel.
We have multiple source dirs e.g.
c:/abc/
c:/bcd/
c:/cde/
and we want to archive the files from these source dirs to corresponding archive directories e.g.
c:/abc/archive
c:/bcd/archive
c:/cde/archive
I can see that we can have only 1 archive directory when the processing mode is kept as "Archive"
How can we achive the same , Please help
Thanks in Advance,
Jyoti

Hello,
I guess you don't have option to archive files in different directories using single CC.
You can archive the files in 1 directory and then run a OS script, which will place the files in different directories (using NFS as protocol).

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:

My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...
karun

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

How to raise Alerts for Sender File Channel

Hi All,
For Sender File Channels , we can find out the status of the adapter through RWB as to whether it is Content Conversion related exception or Folder path not found exception & etc .
I wanted to know as to whether there is any way where can rasie alerts for Sender File Channels (similar to what we do for Reciever File Channels) as well.
Regards
Vinay P.

I found it myself .
In Alert Configuration while we are adding alerts for a particular aler category , the following parameters needs to be checked .
Connected to Message : Not Relevant
Sender Service/Party/Interface/Namespace needs to be mentioned.
Adapter Type should be selected as File

Sender File Channel unable to process

Hi,
I have a scenario where we are using a sender file channel. It polls every 1 hour at the source directory.
Suddenly yesterday the channel stopped processing and never polled again automatically.
It started the processing but did not finish the processing. (There is no error)
Now when I manually restart the channel it directly goes to the polling interval and gives the log :
"Polling interval started. Length: 3600.0 seconds" every 1 hour. It does not start the processing of channel.
As an additional information I checked that the Server to which it is polling had some error at the time when it stop processing.
Please help how could I start the channel processing now? Is there some kind of lock issue or anything else.
Thanks,
Vikas

Hello Vikas,
In addition to the previous posts, check the following as well.
1)
As I donu2019t know which SP level your system is on, please check the note below and apply the patch accordingly.
> 1317686 - Adapter Framework Scheduler may fail to remove a job
2)
Check whether you have deployed on your system the patches described in this note (as as mentioned in the post above).
> 1083488u2013 XI FTP/JDBC sender channel stop polling indefinitely
3)
Please check if there are locks (as as mentioned in the post above) for this channel according to section u201CHow to manually delete hanging Enqueue-Locksu201C in note:
> 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter
Follow the instructions and delete the lock related to the stopped communication channel.
For the 7.1 versions, please note that the Lock Manager is under the /nwa/locks, or on the location "Availability and Performance Management -> Locks".
4)
Configure a timeout for the FTP connection.
In more recent support packages you can set the "Timeout" parameter available in the "FTP Connection Parameters" section.
Alternatively, please enable the "Advanced Mode" for the respective FTP communication channel in the Integration Directory and add an entry "ftp.timeout"=timeoutSecs (without any quotation marks) to the "Additional Parameters" section, where timeoutSecs is the desired FTP timeout in seconds.
Please refer to the note below for further details on this.

Sender communication channel with file adapter

Hi All,
 Here i am facing some error with the communication channel in which i have used FILE adapter. Here i am using PI 7.0. Here i have configured the communication channel. but i didn't checked the "operating system commands". and i checked the " adapter specific message attributes". i dont know whether i have to check these adapter specific message attributes or not. When i have gone to runtime work bench there i saw in adapter monitoring. there it is not showing any error. but in communication channel monitoring it is showing that it is having -
"processing errors" but i am not getting where will be the error.. Any new ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ramana

Hi Bhavesh and Aaron,
 Here i viewed the XMl format of the sender file in the mapping. there i found the difference between the file i am trying to pick up by the adapter and the XML instance of the sender interface in mapping. The difference is there in the message type of the <ns0> tag the file i am trying to send is having one message type and name space, where as the XMl instance is having the other message type and same name space.
 i think that will the problem in processing my file. i am not sure about it.please any of you confirm that if it is th processing error i am facing or not.
 Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
Ramana.

FCC configuration in Sender File Channel Without any key field name

Hi Everyone,
We have below flat file generated from ECC using standard tcode.
The flat file is fixed length file and first record is header record followed by line items.
There is no key field name in the file name.
Can we read the file and convert into xml without any key field name?
I want to understand if the FCC configuration for above file can be done without key name or not.
Thanks,
Vertika

Hello,
AFAIK, using FCC i really doubt u can convert file into xml.
So technically, there are two options either read each line one by one and then do conversions in ur mapping or write a custom module which will read ur input file and convert into xml.

TWO SENDER FILE CHANNELS POLLING SAME DIRECTORY

I have a requirement to send a single file from a single FTP location to two different Target FTP locations as a passthrough interfaces. PI version 7.31
I thought of doing it through two different interfaces, both FTP to FTP keeping source same and destination differently
For First target (T1)Created dummy interfaces(Out/inbound) in ESR, created a configuration scenarion ,Sender and reciver FILE channels in ID, created an ICO.
For the second Target(T2) : can i use the same dummy interfaces as used in first while creating Sender channel?
can i use the same Sender channel as in first scenario to the ICO of Interface for second Target(T2)--> it gave error, same sender channel(IF FILE) channel can't be used to different Sender Agreements/Integrated Configuration Objects. So i copied the sender channel with a different name and used it in second Interface.
Reciever File channel obviously different for both cases with different server details and direcories.
My fear is, if i can go with this set up as we have two sender FTP channels polling on the same FTP directory, so possibility of lock issue and channel are operational on a mapping of one hour(first one 8to10 and second one 9to12, so 9 to 10 both channles poll simultaneously).
Please suggest any better way of handling this, or to resolve the lock issue ?could clusterSyncMode=lock help here?

Hello,
I think u are getting confused.
>>My query was, if we could use two recievers(service) inside a single ICO, without giving any condition. Answer it please in YES or NO?
Yes, indeed u can do it.
IF YES, then how would the message dynamically determine the correct/specific reciever out of the two recievers configured in ICO?
>>Since u want to send same message to two different FTP servers so u don't have to worry about dynamically determining receivers. As soon as file sender adapter picks the file it will route the message to both the receivers and eventually send the same request message to two different FTP servers.
Hence i assume, for every file kept on source direcory, there would be two messages( 2 files) going to be created on two different targets? YES or NO?
>>YES

Sender file channel issue

Hello All,
Here I have a problem with sender file communication channel. THe channel is not able to pick a file as the file format is not correct andf throwing exception in the channel which is expected. But Its not allowing to go and pick the other files with correct format till I remove the bad file from the Source dir location.
How to get out of this issue Pls help me
Regards,
Moorthy

Hi,
Maybe you can delete or archive the erroneus file and then all the other files are processed?
Set checkbox Archive Faulty Source Files and give directory where the erroneus files are moved.
Also under module tab add new row int the Processing Sequence table like this:
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean ............. 1
And in under Module Configuration:
Module Key ........ Parameter Name ...........................Parameter value
1 ......................... Transform.PermanentErrors .........true
If this won't help, please check the No[Note 1265534 - Archive faulty files does not work with add time stamp mode|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1265534]. Basically this means that archiving does not work if you have set the 'Add timestamp' option so check that too.

Receiver file channel with ANSI format.

Hi,
I have developed file to file scenario for which sender file format is unicode and receiver file format is ANSI.
There is no FCC at sender and receiver site. In interface we are just bypassing the file in PI, there is no ESR objects.
I have configured sender channel for unicode in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : UTF-8
I have configured receiver file channel for ANSI in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : i have tried with cp1252 and ISO8859-1
When I run the interface I received receiver file in ANSI format. But when I open that file in notepad the content in the file is having spaces in between 2 characters like below.
V O L 1 0 0 0 0 0 9
Is any bady having idea about this problem?
Thanks.
Edited by: darshana-PI on Jan 23, 2012 6:32 PM

Hi,
The blanks in your target file might be created because your source file is encoded with UTF-16, not UTF-8. Try using one of these as an encoding in sender communication channel:
UTF-16BE (16-bit Unicode character format, big-endian byte order)
UTF-16LE (16-bit Unicode character format, little-endian byte order)
UTF-16 (16-bit Unicode character format, byte order)
Hope you'll find this useful,
Greg
