Hiii
In file adapter, you can use FTP or NFS.
let assume you have working standalone server. i mean in your system sever had been installed.. you are not connecting PI server which is running on another machine remotely. You machine acting as a server and client.. you can use NFS.. placing a any folder any locaton.. and just you have mention the path (eg. C:\test\tesfile.xml) in the communication channel.
or the PI server installed on other machine.. but u stil wanna use NFS . try As Suraj said.
FTP protocol used to transfer file to particular ftp location.. assume your file has to place in a particular folder which is placed on some remote machine) that time you have to mention the details about ftp server( like IP address of the FTP server) and location or path of folder (here path name should be start with '/' symbol and not drive letter so you path will look like "/test/testfile.xml" without double quotes).

File Adapter using NFS

Hi all
I am using the NFS option in File adapter.The file is being placed in C:\TEMP folder and in the directory path i have specified
ipaddress\TEMP but when i watch it in Adapter Monitoring it shows me a error C:\TEMP does not exist.
Please suggest if any settings need to be done.

You need to put the file on application server by TCode SXDA_TOOLS. I guess you are putting the file on your local machine.
First of all into XI goto AL11 and chose one source directory, and give this dierectory name in your CC as it is, no need to put ip address as you have done.
Just see the below example to put the file on application server (XI) directory.
The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:
1. Save your file in your local machine.
2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".
3. In the input screen, enter:
i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
ii) Program Type "BAPI".
iii) Program "CREATE".
4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.
5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".
6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)
7. In Target block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.
8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.
<b>Example:</b> suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".
<b>Note:</b> need not to do any thing in 3rd block.

Sender File Adapter and NFS

I am having a sender file adapter and is using NFS as the Transport Protocol. This channel is throwing an error that " directory does not exist". What can be the possible solutions for this problem?
When I had previously checked this , it was working fine but now its throwing this errorr.

Hi Neelansha,
If you select the transport protocol for NFS, Mention the Directory name for where we can get data.
and check the communication channel monitor for file sender, it will shows the clear error.

File by File picking with Standard File Adapter with NFS Protocal !!

Hi Folks,
How to pick file by file with little gap in a file directory by Standard File Adapter. One interface, one communication channle.
Ex: XML_XXXXX_XXXX1.xml

      XML_XXXXX_XXXX3.xml
First I need to pick one file XM_XXXXX_XXXX1.xml then wait for 2 minutes and pick another one in ascending order.
I have tried with Advance option "File size" and "Msec to wait before modification check" with 1200000 MS, but no use.

Hi
My BPM steps are as follows:
1. Receive step -- Asynch
2. Transformation -- split the message
3. Switch step -- Condition "ID != ' ' from transform message'
4. In side Switch Branch 1 -- Receiver determination - Receive acknowledgment - Application
5. Send 1 -- with Application Transport, Queue Name - 'XXX'
      This XXX queue I have configured on ID with EOIO Service
6. block step - Send multiple messages to same receiver on top
    I have send 2 different message to one receiver, the first message is only one , second message are multiple. I am splitting    with transformation step
7. Sender -2 no acknowledgement active
8. stop
Can you please tell me where I am gonna wrong!!
I will apprecite for your efforts

File sender adapter with nfs as NFS as transport protocol

hi all.
can any abody explain me what is the main difference between FTP and NFS protocols and why there is no need to pass connection parameters for nfr ptotocol.
waiting for excellent reply.
bye.

seeta ram.

Hi,
FTP - It is a file transfer protocol where the source system in this XI has to connect to any other system's particular location it requires connection parameters IP Address, port and you can have authentication in this case also.
Here the system need not be in Network also. You can access the remote system by providing valid userid and password, hence we require conn parameters here.
NFS - This protocol is used to access files which are present accross the network where XI also lies within the same network.

File Adapter - FTP/ NFS:Transport protocol

Dear All,
We have a requirement to pick the file form the Sever which is inside the company network also
Client is not ready to install the FTP / any other protocol and they simply want us to pick the file from the specified folder,
let me know the way forward how can achieve this?
Regards,
Manikandan Shanmugam

Hello,
You need to write the Shell Script or Java based web service code in the Server where the file is there.........the Shell script will pick the file from the server and place it in PI server( Script need to be scheduled background so that it will check for the file, if file exist then picks the file).........u need to take take help from Unix admin guy for writing the code.
this is not standard as we can't monitor the script, but we can go for it as both the systems are in same network so there will not be any issues. Once the file is placed in your PI system normal process need to send file from ur PI system to target system.
as your requirement is tricky there is no other option.

Receiver file adapter NFS - Access directory of other server

HI,
I need access from an file adapter type NFS to a shared folder on the SAP ECC server. This is possible?. Users who are connecting to assign permissions on the folder. The 2 servers are on the network and the server is not enabled SAP ECC FTP. All run on Windows 2003 server environments and the SAP PI Server is 7.1 EHP 1.

To access a Unix NFS from Windows you can install "Microsoft Services for Unix". Those are free of charge provided by Microsoft.

Unix drive mounting and accessing with Receiver File(NFS) Adapter

Hi gurus,
Is it possible to access a mounted directory between a storage(unix) server and PI server, by using the File Adapter in NFS mode to write files to it?
Regards,
Gökhan

Hi,
>>Is it possible to access a mounted directory between a storage(unix) server and PI
why not?
in case your PI is on windows and storage on unix you just need
to have samba installed on your unix machine and you can access
unix with //server/folder/ from PI

Using file receiver adapter with a different user

Hello.
I have a simple question (at least I think it is)
Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)
so that a different user will access the directory (not the usual SAPServiceSID)?
I don't see any place for using username and password, and using the FTP protocol is not possible
because of security reasons.
Any help Appreciated.

Hello.
Thanks for the quick answers.
I'm sorry for not being clear enough before.
I have a microsoft network share on a different server then the PI.
When I use the path:
server\share
I manage to successfully put a file via the file receiver adapter, with NFS as the transport protocol.
However in order to do this, the owner of the share had to give credentials to the user: SAPServiceSID of my PI system
which is an active directory user.
The owner wants me to use a local user instead.
Can this be done with a local user?

File Adapter: Is it possible to track files?

Hello XI community,
I've a scenario where the sender and receiver is the file adapter using NFS. When XI picks up the inbound file from a certain directory with a wildcard name like "T_xxx*" is there any chance to see the original name? In addition I'd like to know how to find out the relationship between the inbound filename and the outbound name which is actually created from the file adapter like "xxxxx_timestamp.xxx". The files I'm using are binaries so I don't use the file content in anyway. They are just passed through XI. But I'd like to track the files to be able to know which input file belongs to which output file. Maybe some of you know where to see this.
Thanks in advance
/Michael

Hi once emore:
take a look at this document:

Specifying Additional Files in an FTP Sender Adapter

Hi,
Has anyone worked out how to specify additional files in a File/FTP Sender Adapter using the FTP transport protocol? This functionality comes 'standard' in the File/FTP Sender Adapter using NFS transport protocol so that additional files can been included as attachments, however, it doesn't seem to be available when trying to use the FTP protocol.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Reuben.

Yes this is available in only NFS mode check sap help

File Adapter Exclusion Mask not working

Hi all,
I have a problem with exclusion mask in File Adapter:
I have two scenarios: PE08 and PR08.
PE08 have to take files with format L.I21 and PR08 with format L.I21R.
In system A I use File Adapter with NFS protocol and everything goes ok.
But in system B I have to use FTP protocol and here exclusion mask doesn't work: I put a file L000249.I21R and XI takes it to scenario PE08, and it must go to PR08.
My exclusion mask in PE08 Channel are:
*R
Sometimes it goes thru PE08 and other times same file goes thru PR08...
What is happening? any idea?
Why exclusion names behave diferent in FTP and in NFS?
Thanks!

FTP adapter should send file as binary attachment

Hello,
we user XI 3.0 and want to implement the following scenario:
- FTP adapter has to read binary files (*.tif and *.xls)
- Receiver adapter is an ABAP proxy
We want to get the file content as attachment to the message or as binary string in the payload. Is it possible? I Think the FTP adapter can only handle the file content over as complete message payload and not as an attachment. File content conversion is not possible because we read non textual files. Do any adpater modules exist that could swap the payload to attachment? In my point of view the PayloadSwapBean can only handle the other way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Daniel

Hello,
with the file adapter in NFS mode it is easy to attach one file as payload and further files as attachment.
But as I stated above we use the FTP mode (and we have no NFS server!). The binary file is read by the adapter and assigned to the message as main payload. The proxy inbound handling is not able to parse the payload because it will see it as application/xml.
I'm looking for one of the following solutions:
1) swap the content of the main payload to an attachment. This can be processed at the proxy
2) perhaps it is possible to change the mime type of the main payload to reflect the xls or tif content with the MessageTransformBean. But what has to be done at the proxy inbound side?
Best regards,
Daniel

SFTP sender to File receiver mapping of file names

My scenario is: sender channel = SFTP (Seeburger) transferring multiple PDF files to Receiver adapter File (NFS).
These PDF files need to have the same name as the original files from the sender (3rd party) system.
Because these files are being processed without an interface, I can't use UDF to help map the file names.
I've tried using Seeburger's localejbs/Seeburger/AttribMapper to map the names, as follows:
File (NFS) receiver channel config:
- ASMA boxes for 'Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes' and 'File Name' are ticked
- Module localejbs/Seeburger/AttribMapper is on the first line in the module tab under processing sequence, with module key = AttributeMapper
- Under Module Configuration:
- Module Key = AttributeMapper
- Parameter Name = http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName
- Parameter Value = @http://seeburger.com/xi/SFTP/dtSubject
(I haven't entered any attribute module config on the sender side)
This setup fails on the receiver side with the message 'Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.RetryControlException: Channel stopped by administrative task.' (not very helpful!). All I can get from that is that it doesn't like my module configuration!
Can anyone help me understand the correct way to do the file name mapping for my specific scenario?
Regards,
Christine

We've got this working at last!
The main problem was indeed the missing .sca file from Seeburger: SeeModuleCollectionPI.sca
Our Basis team deployed this file this morning. After a bit of fiddling around with the attribute mapping, my test files were transferred successfully with their original names.
The config I ended up with is just as described in another forum post for SFTP to FTP, but I'll repeat it in more detail here:

Removal of Line feed from EDI file in IDOC to EDI file scenario

Hi Experts,
I have one problem related to line feed in EDI file. Currently i am using seeburger mapping to do XML to EDI mapping. After mapping i am using File Adapter(with NFS) to create file in my PI server.
The line looks like
UNB+UNOA......
UNH+1.......
BGM.........
but i want my file in without line feed
UNBUNOA......UNH1......BGM
Can this be possible without use of Shell script?
Is anything i can do in Seeburger mapping [i checked BIC mapper in seeburger and see some parameters there]?
Regards,
Shradha

Hi,
I am explaining my scenario in detail:
my Current EDI file looks like
UNAf1f2............'
UNBf1f2............'
BGMf1f2............'
UNHf1f2............'
now i want my file to be in following format
UNAf1f2............'UNBf1f2............'BGMf1f2............'UNHf1f2............'
NOTE: to create my current file i am using File adapter with NFS and seeburger mapping.
Can you please tell me a way to remove the line feed from the current file ?
I already tried newline checkbox from seeburger and it is not working. and other parameter i can use from see burger mapping tool which will remove my line feed.
Regards,
Shradha
