Sender file

Hi,
I am doing File sender Scenario.
File come with filename+timestamp , I need to pick recent file and process it.
( I need to pick the present file and process the file)
Is any parameters there in File adapter.
Regards,
Jayasimha Jangam

Hi,
Check it in the sap help doc:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ae/d03341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Its in the Processing Sequence tab.
But using that option the oldest file will be picked up first. But that is not exactly ur requirment. I think you will need a module for the same.

Sanjeev.

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key =
DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.

Phani.

OS command before file processing in Sender File adapter

Hi there,
I'm having troubles running a os command from the sender file (NFS) adapter. The batch file which I try to run is not getting executed at all.
When I manually run the same batch file from the command prompt then it works perfectly.
The OS command looks like this from the adapter config:
myserver\xi\interface\in\dothis.bat
I have also try with this notation
G:\myserver\xi\interface\in\dothis.bat
Please give me some tips how can I solve this problem, is there any way how can I debug the OS command? When I look at the adapter monitonr no errors are showed.
Thanks for any tips.
Roberto

Hi all,
The problem is solved.
Issue: File Receiver Channel does not execute the OS Command before message processing.
Reason: XI always expects an input file (in my case the sender communication channel) on the source folder. If no input files are found then the rest of the adapter configuration is not executed at all.
In our scenario the OS command is responsible for retrieving the input files from a FTP server the adapter. SO XI will never trigger the OS Command.
Solution: Place a dummy input file on the source folder , the sender adapter will always read in this file and put it back on the same location.(e.g. using a condition in the receiver determination).
Thanks,
Roberto

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I am trying to utilise the parameter 'Advance Selection for source file' on a sender file adapter to pick the file from multiple folders
My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)
Service pack 07
Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

Multiple Exclusion Criteria[Exclusion Mask] in Sender File Adapter

Hello All,
I have a requirement to specify multiple exclusion criteria in the 'Exclusion Mask' property of a Sender File Adapter, i.e. I need to pick up files that correspond to 111*.txt from a specified source directory, but I would also want to exclude specific individual files that go by the following names:-111ACC.txt, 111INV.txt & 111PUR.txt.
I have tried the following - Specified 111*.txt in the 'File Name' field and in the 'Exclusion Mask' field specified ACC, INV & PUR - the exclusion criteria separated by commas. But this does not seem to work. All the 111* files are getting picked up.
Have gone through a couple of weblogs that deal with exclusion masks, but they do not talk about multiple exclusion criteria.
Is there any other way I could accomplish this?
Thanks,
Anand

Hi,
Try this config.
Give *.txt in filename. and Directory as <YourDir>
In exclusion mask give 111ACC.txt
Below this there will be a table. Add two Entries
Dont add anything to FilenameMask.
Directory ->FileNameMask--->ExclusionMask
<yourDir>->--->111INV.txt
<YourDir>->--->111PUR.txt
Try this and get back.
Regards,
Sudharshan

Errro when referring a Bean in Sender file adapter

Hi
I have created a sample code and deployed in the server and when i refer that in the sender file adapter module processor using the naming format
localejbs/sap.com/com.vas.mod/GetFileNameBean
where
com.vas.mod is the EAR Project name
GetFileNameBean is the Bean name
I am getting the erro in the XI Adaptor monitor as follows
- 2006-07-31 13:06:51 UTC: Error: NameNotFoundException: Path to object does not exist at com.vas.mod, the whole lookup name is localejbs/sap.com/com.vas.mod/GetFileName.
I checked theJNDI name in the server it is exactly the same.
can some one help me on this please?

Case Insensitive File Names in Sender File Adapter

Hi,
I've tried my best to search SDN on this issue with no help...
My sender file name can have any case (upper or lower) e.g.
ABC_123.txt
or
ABc_345.txt
or
aBC_456.txt
However configuring the file name in the sender file channel as 'ABC*' did not work
only files with name starting with the capital letters ABC got picked up and lower case did not get picked up...
any suggestions on how this can be overcome
Thanks
Bharath Sai

what if my file name has to be F0215DBFR* ??
should I give 4*4 = 16 combinations ?
looks funny... but feasible..
was hoping SAP has a standard solution like
[Ff]0215[Dd][Bb][Ff][Rr]* ?
Anywise.. thanks a lot for your help Satish.. will use this technique (16 combinations for my req..)

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Unzip file using PayloadZipBean in Sender FILE adapter

I am trying to unzip a flat file in Sender FILE adapter using PayloadZipBean.
I am getting mapping error. The problem is File adapter is reading data without unzipping. I am getting weird characters/data, so mapping error.
I searched all the blogs/ forum threads and help.sap.com, everywhere the focus is on zipping, not unzipping.
the file I have is with .gz extension, but I tried with .zip extension also.
Please help in resolving this issue.
Edited by: Gopal Janagama on May 2, 2008 11:42 PM

Gopal,
GZIP and ZIP format are slightly different, as stated here :
"GZIP compresses only one file and does not have a header. ZIP contains header information about what files are contained in the file."
So I'm not sure the PayloadZipBean supports GZIP format ... Try to ungzip and then zip its content and see if the bean works for it

Recordset per message in Sender File Adapter

Hi Friends
I have configured a sender file adapter to pick up *.txt files from a specific path, Since the file is having thousands of records it is failing to process the file at PI level . In order to avoid the problem I have kept Recordset Set Per Message as 10 , but still PI is processing all the records into a single message. Please help me in troubleshooting it.

Archiving TXT files in Sender File Adapter--Unformatted Way

Hello,
I am Archiving TXT files thru Sender file adapter, files are getting archived to specified directory.No issues in that.,
When i open the archived files, those are not in the correct format way that i placed before file pickup.
Header & lines got messed up side by side.
Regards

Hi,
If the file that it being archived is not transformed, it should exactly be the same as the original file.
Please make sure that you are not transforming the archive file by any means(unix script, mapping logics etc).
As suggested above, it is advisable to open the file in the editors like textpad, ultraedit etc. The difference in the alignment could be because of the notepad editor.
Try to open the original and archived files in any of those(textpad,ultraedit etc) editors and check.
Please let us know if you are still able to find the difference in the alignment.

Subbu

Zero size files in Sender File Adapter

Hello!
I have the problem with my Sender File Adapter (ftp).
Sometimes in ftp directory there are empty files or messages with a zero-sized payload.
This situation cause an error and Adapter "sleep" until I save-active it in a configuration. (before I removed the 0-size file...).
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Alessandro

Hi ,
What the note states is that if your Sender File adapter picks up and empty file, then it would not trigger any message at all.
So, if what that note says is correct, then I guess for the empty file, the adapter would not ve passed any message to the integration engine.
Is there any entry in SXMB_MONI? If yes, then it means some message is actaully being passed by the adapter engine to the integration engine which shouldnt have happened at all.
What does the error message in the File Adapter state?

Which file fails in sender file adapter

Hi.
Is there a place in the monitoring landscape, that can tell me the filename of a file, that fails in a sender file adapter (lets say I receive files with filename *.txt).
The file adapter uses content conversion.
Right now, the RWB only tells me that something went wrong in the content conversion. The filename would be nice for people working in a CCC to forward to second level support!
Regards...
Peter

Hi,
In the sender file CC..
Check the option filename and filetype under the adapter specific attribute so that the payload will have the filename too...which make the life easy...
